probably some kind of bug while you were downloading it. Just search "dedx9_39.dll download" on google and drag it into the game folder

 

[Zane Carlson]

Sorry, I should've specified. What I meant to say was that I thought "mysterious abandoned building" (now titled "game demo") and "Shiro no Yakata" were separate.

We are still not entirely 100% sure about that to be honest.
Name's have been dropped with no definitive fact checking but .... idk
If I recall correctly they are 2 versions of the same thing but made by Zell23 and Zell999 respectively.
Even I was baffled to hear there were 2 Zell's.

 

[ANAPPLE3434]

Honestly, I'm so glad to have other people be on this boat of looking for this kind of stuff, I tried to find other things similar to FOBS, but there's not much.

I too am always on the lookout for these type of games. I don't know what it is, but this style has a certain charm. Below are games I personally consider similar:

Castle of Temptation
Lufuclad? Female protag, abandoned, limited content, and crashes a lot.
Succubus Affection
Super Monsters n Girls
Super Mamono Sisters (censored though. Not aware of a way to decensor it as I think it is "baked" in. Open to suggestions otherwise).
Life with Tribe (part of "Chimeras Game Collection")
FlipWitch - Forbidden Sex Hex
Eroico
This Village need Help (part of "Chimeras Game Collection")

I am also totally open to others, but I strongly dislike censorship.

House of Lust (male protag, horror, monster girl, puzzle)
Drain Mansion (male protag, horror, monster girl, puzzle)
Afterschool tag (male protag, horror, monster girl)
Haileys treasure adventure (female protag, monster)
Lustful spirit hunt (male protag, monster girl)
Setalia The demono realm (futa protag, monster, monstergirls)
Seal of Lutellaria (futa protag, monster, monstergirl)
Kincaid (female protag, furry)
My forest home was completed, but now the game is being remade. The completed version was pretty good, but I doesnt know where you can find it

The first three games are closer to FOBS

There aren't. Zell23 and Zell999 are the same person.

has the author of FOBS and Shiratane Tower(?) as zell23, zell999 is just a different username/handle for the same person. In short, my understanding of this tale over the years has been - FOBS was a passion project for Zell, that eventually stopped being fun, so they ditched it around the time that Succubus Affection was in development. Zell partners with someone called Ansara(?) for SA and other games, and things are fine for a bit. SA releases, Zell and Ansara begin working on other stuff, but come to a head when it comes to how they want the games to be going forward. To my understanding, Zell wants more of a focus on femdom/monstrous characters, Ansara wants things more balanced and human. They still work together on projects like SA2, and Shiro no Yakata. However, Shiratane Tower (or Tower of Shiratane? Google translate fails me) is Zell's personal project it seems, and is much heavier on the monstrous, femdom, and horror aspect than Shiro no Yakata has turned out to be with Ansara's input, though I haven't been able to find any info on that project in a bit.

Most of this info was gathered from that zell999 blog, but some of it has come from the Succubus Diary ci-en page or this forum thread. My info is probably not up to date exactly, but I figured I'd give my understanding of this whole situation.

Is Shiratane tower Mysterious abandoned building?

 

[LordOLinguine]

From what I can tell, Zell's version is called Tower of Shiratane or something like that
A lotta info is all jumbled up, lotta contradictory answers that I'm tryna figure out
What I don't get is why Shiro No Yakata and Tower of Shiratane don't have their own threads. Would prolly help make things way more clear, both on who's making what game and where the downloads for each game are (cause I have a download of Tower of Shiratane but now I'm trying to track down the real Shiro No Yakata).

could you share that tower one?

That is exactly what I'm saying.
Misinformation and speculation.
Someone told me those are 2 different people so I just went with it.
It's this lack of fact checking, also the fact we have to work exclusively with g-translation, that got us into this mess.

As far as I can tell, the demos that Zell is releasing right now is the only game he is working on by himself since he's basically stopped working on Blue Forest. There's only one Zell and he's the same Zell as Zell23 and Zell999. Tower of Shiratane, if it's not some sort of translation for Shiro No Yakata, is basically the same game as Shiro No Yakata, but entirely under Zell's control, without Anara helping him code it and thus having influence over it. I believe you guys were all in this cycle of confusion that was feeding off each other, and let's just put an end to that now. There's no secret, elusive game that Zell is also working on by himself that we know of. What he's making by himself is what he is putting out demos for.

That one never came up thus far.
All we had was name confusion and whether these demos are for getting familiar with a new engine or not so they can work on FOBS in said new engine.

Cause Zell23 & Zell999 are 1 in the same. & Shiro & abandoned building are the same thing.

Like I said, things are a mess here.

 

[blackjackmuffin]

doesnt he have enough monsters to realise the game?

 

[Deleted member 7270508]

I'm coming from Succubus affection here and am really confused. I tried the A game, but it's just doors and portals without any monsters. Tried B but it's too hard and for some reason I already have all the skills, so what am I even supposed to do? Then I found some kind of R version but it's just a single area with no escape and full of enemies.

Now there's some game demo you're posting but it's the one I understand the least, how to play? What are the skills like the blue orb? How to beat monsters, there isn't even a melee attack?
im confus
