Yo I hope this new game has fewer characters but more scenes for each of them. Definitely felt tedious being forced to go through the storylines and scenes of the characters I don't care for/not attracted to in order to get best endings and stuff like that. And then due to the large cast there were fewer scenes and less attention to characters I felt deserved them. I understand this is my opinion and some are thrilled with the diverse cast and variety. Just feel like in this case for this game in particular there was an imbalance and lack of scenes the entire game considered. Of course I respect and appreciate dev's work but there are other barriers in place which "force" the player to play through the game (no name change option) whereas other games make it easy to "plug and play." Dev is entitled to do things as he pleases but can consider that games can be more user - friendly. Cheers happy holidays

So, I might be the dum-dum, but after building the kitchen and chosen any activity, all I get is a black screen. I don't know how to progress properly from there.

Then you're not looking hard enough. The requirements are on the last page of the quick guide. It's directly underneath the requirements for the safe deposit box (the MC's "Cracking the case") event. It literally says, "Steps to obtain the special “item” (not available in “Story” mode)". ;)

I've seen people complain this has too much grind but to be honest I found it to be a pretty entertaining grind, it was hard to stop playing. View attachment 2272200 View attachment 2272200
Well, as you are a Love of Magic fan, I am not surprised ;) Also, judgment of grind in sandbox-style or management games is difficult to judge unless you know the finished product, because it can feel more grindy or less grindy depending on approach and preferences.

Thanks, all the best to you too.

Though ... as a fellow (but Non-Bavarian) German: may I still refuse to drink Kölsch? I mean, the last three years were bad enough for all of us, no need to make 2024 worse still ...

Maybe someone here can clear something up for me. So on trying to boot I get a black screen, in installation there was a link marked "Black screen fix", convenient, leads me to C++ redist. No big deal, but, Windows won't allow me to install it because I have a newer version of both packages already. So I'd have to find and delete the newer packages (which would likely update on their own in the near future) to install the old ones. Is that the whole meat and potatoes of the issue, the game won't work on newer versions of C++?

Thanks in advance, and happy new year.

Which version of the VC++ Redistributable do you have?

I just now noticed there was an FAQ, and feel like a bit of a tool for not checking it first. However it didn't fully clear it up. Looking through in add or remove programs it appears I have 2010, 2012, 2013 and 2015-2019, on Windows 10, both x64 and x86 of each iteration.

The FAQ says it needs 2015 and that specifically the 2017/2019 runtime won't work with it, but I'm seeing it listed as 2015-2019 in my programs.

Just to make sure, I'd remove the 2015 - 2019 version because the version of the multi-year one I know works is 2015 - 2022.

Have no fear; Winblows will figure it out your next update cycle and fix what it doesn't like :)

PS - Obviously if this doesn't work, I'll be around a bit so let me know.

Thanks bud. I tried removing the old one and going with the 2015-2022, no dice, installing the 2015 version first then that one over, no dice, tried just rawdogging 2015 in there and still nothing. Just loads into a black screen, no audio, no progression, just a cursor. No gsync, no extraneous antivirus, no apparent driver issues, so I may try redownloading; though the download looks fine. Either way, thanks for the advice and I hope you had a nice holiday season. ;)
