The version that was leaked here, was leaked nearly a year and a half after the hotfixes (v1.1.1, then 1.1.2) were released on Steam, Itch and Nutaku. There was no new content and no legitimate reason that it needed to be leaked here (though I will grant you that Story mode was bugged and could not be played). Now people are complaining they can't play the full version because the person who leaked it (not affiliated with us in any way, shape or form) did so without including the key.ini file (which gives you the full version) which caused a huge mess as a result. The last version which was on here (v1.1.1) had the key included. We have zero control over that.
To make something clear, I do like to give support. Not everyone here goes only for the freebies, even though it's pretty much a pirate site. I especially like it as I develop my own game, and there were many others who inspired me. But if you release your game on different platforms, you should ensure that all of them are the same. If I had known I'd get a worse version for paying pretty much MORE than on Steam, I'd not have done that in the first place, obviously. That's misleading.

Actually, Faerin can't sell the game for more than what's being offered on Steam as Steam/Valve (as far as I know) keep tabs on the developers who offer their games on other platform. If he did, that would be a violation of Steam's ToS. If you notice, the price that's offered on Steam is the exact same price on Itch and Nutaku:



So, please show me where it's "misleading"? I'm certainly not seeing it.

I'm not referring to the basic selling price in this case. Steam is generally cheaper considering the possibility of using price reductions and their freebie currency. Two games there are available for -25%, for instance.

And you just skipped my whole point here as well with this remark. It's misleading because it offers a worse version for the same price, obviously.

You said he was "misleading". That's a direct quote from your previous post. I pointed out the prices from all three sites, since you say you would be "paying pretty much MORE than on Steam" as proof that the prices are no different across the board.

Sure, Steam offers sales of the games on their platform periodically, but those are set by Steam, not the developers.

No, read again. I wrote "That's misleading". I was refering to the version of the game. Dude, seriously, the more you defend this case, the worse you make it. At first, you wrote that you contacted the developer, and now you're desperately trying to defend whatever floats in your mind about this case. You wrote that I should have contacted you folks on discrod instead of writing here, and I've already posted you proof of my purchase there, but I'm getting ignored.

I'm honestly getting a worse impression of this the more we talk here.

I did message him exactly as I stated I would. That hasn't changed. I've also included your screenshots you DM'd me as well as a follow-up to my message to him.

You messaged me right after I made my last post, man. Holy shit. Okay, whatever I've send you everything that's relevant there. I don't give a shit any more. I'm kind of sick of this.

There's no need to send me anything else. You sent the proof that you purchased it from Nutaku and you sent the proof that you have the basic version. All I can do is wait for Faerin to get on, which won't be for another couple of hours at best.

I'd like to mention that the problem has been resolved much faster than expected. Even though our conversation hit a wall here, Sycho ultimately helped me with the issue. Additionally, Faerin reached out to apologize for something he wasn't responsible for and sent me the missing file to complete the game.

So all good, peace and out.

I'm glad to hear you got the problem resolved and hope you enjoy the game. :)

There are three items you need to find: a bronze spider (found at the lake by fishing during the day)!!!!

ok...I have a question but it takes many days to catch the spider... I'm going around and around all the time and it tells me it can't find anything and also I have to go to the bank to deposit the paintings and if I don't know the name of the 3rd painting I can't to move on.
And one more thing, sorry, in story mode how do I level up customers?

If you're playing in Story mode, you can't get the spider or any of the other two items you need for the statues in the cave as that is not available in that game mode. You can only do that in Normal mode. If you're playing in the latter, then you will need to complete all of Orville's events first. Completing that unlocks one of the answers during the bank event (Cracking the case) and completing that event is required to unlock the spider at the lake.

In Story mode, the guests level up as the Manor levels up, unlike in Normal mode.

I INTEND:
No story mode I did it and here's how it comes out
If instead I do the normal roria it comes out like this:
and so then if I go to do the procedure at the bank it comes out like this
1 steps: (I make a deposit)
I follow the steps for the paintings but I get to a point that gives me this and with every answer it makes me go back
2 steps (Penelope/Isabella) and !?!?!?

I'll make you understand better this way:
If I do this story: (where I can decide where to put the characters, give them cards and objects)
my clients are VIP 1 and I can't LEVEL them up.
If instead I do: (the mode that I can't decide where to place people and I can't put cards or anything else) my clients are complete with their entire story... and it just gives me this final step where if I complete it it gives me 3 endings LOOK:
now I say...did I do something wrong and do I have to start all over again or can I continue from where I am now?

To level the guests, you need to tell Julia what level you want when you assign her to the desk, click no the number 1 there.

Don't finish the game until you are ready.
Most of this was explained in the tutorial.
