If you're still getting hints in-game for the character, there should still be something to unlock. The difficult thing is that so many character/story moments have prerequisites that aren't very clear. That difficulty is compounded by most events/conversations being location or time dependent or both. As much as I enjoy this story and these characters, the gameplay kinda puts what critics of sandboxes hate most about them at the core of the gameplay loop. Probably at least half the conversations or events I found in the game I tried to get to based on the hint system's clues, but ended up just stumbling across them trying to do something else later.

People have mentioned this issue to the dev a bunch. It seems like they've responded to that criticism and are considering how to improve that aspect of the game, so it could get better eventually. But until the dev figures out what they want to do about it, we're kinda at the mercy of the gameplay. Given how on rails the story is despite being a sandbox, its playability would probably improve from either pulling back on some of the sandbox elements or eliminating them altogether for a VN format

similar games like this? long ,fantasy ,demons ,no horny stuff every second etc. i like to reading and almost done with every visual novel in this site xD of course im sure i missed some great VNs . this for example .i found it by recommendation

The Nobody in a Hero's World is looking pretty good. There's also Dungeon Days. They're both fairly new and promising. They've both got a decent balance of content and the writing is pretty solid. It's nice to see KK assets outside school settings.

Have to disagree about Dungeon Days but Nobody in a Hero's World has great potential.

I believe at this point you gotta progress the story for the character events to be unlocked

Does anybody have any news for any new update for the game?

Is this game still being actively developed? I just tried it out and thought it was amazing, even though I normally dislike KK games.

If it's active, how often does this game get updated? And how big are the updates, usually?

I'm finding the story to be quite good

 

[BarkBarkBandicoot]

Any full saves for v0.7.51????? I only have a save up to v0.7 and would greatly appreciate it!!!!

The dev hasn't posted anything on Patreon since October.

 

[Gtdead]

Expansive setting, intriguing mystery and great characterization. Despite having a huge casting and a lot of actors who affect the story, it's quite easy to follow although I have to admit that I had some trouble remembering all the names.

The characters have distinct personalities and goals and I'm quite impressed that the dev manages to write all these different characters with so much depth. While the tropes are fairly easy to see, they aren't caricatures.

The only thing I didn't like was the trust grinding. Normally I'd praise the fact that there exists unique dialogue each time you grind trust by choosing the "Chat" option, but I found myself skipping through the text a bit too much because I wanted to unlock the next event.

Hopefully the dev is alright (he talked about some kind of injury back in october) and we hear something from him quickly.

The current news is he's planning on posting something soon, that's from his discord and the updates are usually quite big which along with the previously mentioned injury led to this long dev cycle

Here you go but minor spoiler in that you miss a blowjob that's non-repeatable at the moment.

Thanks for the heads up, this is great news.

BarkBarkBandicoot Correction on what I meant. You'll still get a repeatable blowjob scene as long as you pay attention to your roommate and I do mean roommate and not the slang. I probably got it messed up with the context scene of it first happening and forgot the latter.
So to correct the record every scene can be seen again whether its from a repeatable or gallery. So there you go anyone else wondering.

And before I forget someone posted a guide so here is a direct link for those not wanting to check
Edit: wait what its on the front page? Why was that guy asking in the discord

GeneX now here? Good tastes, bro.

Still Fighting

Hey everyone, I hope your new year has been off to a good start! I'm still alive and kicking, however feeble it might look. The holidays have been busy on my part and I've struggled a lot to heal both physically and mentally, but I hope they've given everyone else an opportunity to get a proper reset.

As for the Hearth, things still haven't been working out the way I hoped and I've definitely been getting worn down by the circumstances, but I'm not ready to pull the plug yet.

While preparing the renders for the past couple of months, I became unsatisfied with the script and began to update it once more. Although I'm happier with the final result, the process has left me with a lot more work at the end of the marathon.

Compiling everything into code usually takes me a week with the typical size of my updates, but this one has ended up being well over twice the usual length. Right now, I've still got around 50k words to parse through so I'm estimating that I can finish everything up within two weeks. It's been too long, but I'm ready to move on from this particular fight.

Also, if you're looking for something else to sink your teeth into and you have the time, check out

, a surreal and psychological horror made by a good friend of mine. It's a lot different from the Hearth but hopefully it can reach someone who needs it right now.

That's all for now. The update has taken too long, but I'm grateful for everyone still waiting. Just a few years ago, I couldn't have imagined having such an audience. I'll be doing everything I can to help the Hearth heal and respond to your support. Until then, stay safe out there.

For anyone curious, it's a mirror/Atbash cipher. Each letter is replaced with the one from the opposite end of the alphabet: A with Z, B with Y, etc. At least, I think so. Not sure what that word after the number is supposed to be, if it's meant to be anything. Maybe that one word has a different key?
