Getting this error at the start of every day. Anyone know whats going on with that?

 

[silversurfer1]

it's been a hot minute since i played, is this the one where you go into the weird vault and end up back in time?

Not exactly- You do visit a sort of vault at a few points but you don't go back in time. It's set in modern day and some characters have traveled back from the future. Your character has the ability to affect that future but you don't personally do any time traveling in the story so far.

You're thinking of Ripples I think.

I'm enjoying this again ... I just got to the end of week two and still have most of my fav girls active.

Zoey, Penny, Chloe, Maddison & Jules .. damnit I spoke too soon, I wasn't intimate with Zoey before day 14 even though I had 7 points.

.... How many will make it to the end of week 3 or 4?

Next I think I'll do a playthrough focusing on some of the ones I was ignoring, Trish, Caroline, Ash, Emma, Katy

I think the walkthrough pdf needs some updating, a few of the comments about needing x by end of week 1 are wrong, they need updating for end of week 2.
According to the walkthrough pdf I was behind on Chloe and someone else (Madison or Jules I think) in week 1 but they both made the end of week 2

Odd. That should not have been possible, but clearly something broke at some point. Here's a quick fix. Just drop the contained rpy file into the game/ folder and launch the game. That should fix the bug, and then you can delete the rpy as it's no longer needed.

This could really use an all path mod there are so many branches!

 

[Crosaith.]

Ahh... this game. I remember having mixed feelings about it when I played way back. Some really neat ideas, but the girls route I chose was steaming shit. Imagine turning down a bunch of girls and ending up with the one that has a forced tentacle rape scene. yay

I'll give it another chance... maybe another girl will have a decent route.

I'm doing Emma/Jules & Zoey/Penny and it's really fun and ok for now (you can pursue 4 romances and there is no block for now, they all seem "ok" with this). No tentacle rape, just the story with Jules.

 

[FakeWuxia]

There's an in-game walkthrough (Note: The coloring is weird. You can toggled the WT on/off in the settings menu, and below that is a button you press for an explanation of how it works.)

Alternatively, the game ships with a PDF walkthrough included. This file has both per-character walkthroughs specifying what choice to make if you want to follow her, and a flowchart explaining the branching for each day.

Do you have a picture of this button you are referring to? I have seen it mentioned like 3-4 times now and all I see in settings is a box with [walkthrough][enabled] or [disabled] no button to give explanation on the colors.

Go to the main menu. It does not appear when in-game.

 

[FakeWuxia]

TY for that. I was going to settings while in game and didn't see it. I was thinking a little too simply on colors and was like "why is it bad to go see this girl?" when it showed a red box.

 

[qwertyuiop990!]

Eventually I've done it ... made it to the end of the release with my favs all active:

Zoey, Chloe, Maddison & Jules.
The hardest bit was getting intimate with Zoey and keeping Chloe active before the end of week 2.

I'd love to see the devs spiderweb laying out all the paths and blockers. The walkthrough and compatibility chart helps, but it's still quite a bit of work getting the best combination you can. I would have liked Sarah, but didn't want to drop the others, that said, I might try for Sarah instead of Jules.

 

[sigvar]

Sure, but that isn't quite what I meant, I meant specifically for getting as far as possible with as many LIs as possible with as few different playthroughs as possible up to a point.
I could get this from the walkthrough, but it would still require a lot of work, I honestly was just hoping someone already did it and had saves or a walkthrough specifically to get that result.

And yes, that means I don't want to invest that much time and effort into the game, I just don't have the time and energy for that. There are so many games of this type around that one has to be picky where to invest their time and making like 17 playthroughs or having to navigate a complex walkthrough to find the optimal path/paths, that's just not something I have in me anymore. No disrespect to the dev or his work, it's a me thing.

Nah, not just a you thing. I have a problem with these kinds of huge number of girls, complicated branching etc. games as well. Almost for the exact reason you listed, too. As it stands, I am going to have to shelve this one till it is done. It has been a year since I played last. Would have to replay from the start to remember what all went on and I don't feel like re-navigating the complex web again, just to do it in another year.

 

[cermebaatsisvye]

LOVE this game. But one thing that's always bothered me is how insanely loud a few sounds are.

Spoiler: sound descriptions

I extracted those files and cut the amplitude in half. They're still impactful, but hopefully won't blow out your eardrums.

Extract this file to your Element174-xxx/game folder.

 

[balboa2151]

hey everyone...I just finished the latest update...I really enjoyed it...I chose Zoey,Penny and Madison. If this game makes us chose a woman it's going to be really hard to decide...my gut feeling is telling me to chose Madison If I can't have them all...It's definitely going to be hard...and regarding the professor why doesn't the MC just ask Zoey or Penny to chop off his fuc*ing head and just blame it on the serial killer? that's what I would do lol

 

[qwertyuiop990!]

I just completed a Jules, Emma, Isabella (plus Zoey of course) playthrough, and it was more enjoyable than I was expecting, nice work dev. Lots of creampies d18 on this route as well.

I think that's enough of this game for now for me, and I'll look forward to the next updates.

 

[cylek1]

You guys probably want the official walkthrough so you dont miss anything.

**Updated for v0.24**

Hey! Do you plan to update this walkthrough?

Hey! Do you plan to update this walkthrough?

It comes with the game in the zip.
