Somebody made a mistake somewhere. Archive from torrent ParacosmicReality-1.8.0Main.7z.
File options.rpy: define config.name = _("Paracosmic Reality - Main v0.1.7.0").
Is it a bug or is it supposed to be that way?

That rare case when there is not much of content, especially sexual, but you still like the vibe this game gives.:D
"Watch"ed it.

Still wonder what happened to Emma's help request, did she and MC forgot or something, or it will take place later?
That was just an excuse to get MC to come over and hang out. Lore-wise, she ended up handling it herself.

i also recommend you pack images and audio in rpa files for distribution. could probably save some space with that. :)
I'm not sure, but I don't think there is a size difference. I would expect it to be just a simple bundle. However to make a drastic change in size, the dev should consider converting the images into webp instead of jpeg. Additionaly, .rpy files can be removed to save some kilobytes, but it would make it more difficult for protentional modders down the line, so I would advise against it unless it would make considerable difference in size, which it currently doesn't.

don't you mean .rpyc files? renpy creates those on the first run.

That could work too, but generally, compiled files are smaller, since they are stripped away from comments, line breaks and other stuff that is not required for the game to run.

**edit**
Did a quick glance, and looks like .rpyc are a must for save compatibility between versions. See:

I like this VN. But man it is a slow drip. I'll check back in half a dozen updates for the next 10 min of content.

That's really weird o.o unfortunately I'm not great with the android related stuff. (Packing it was significantly more of a pain in the ass than packaging the PC/MAC stuff.)

I'd recommend that you first attempt to redownload it, just incase your download is corrupted.

Failing that or if no one has any other suggestions, I can look into re-packaging it for you, but I can't promise it'll fix anything.

Damn, sorry to hear it bud. Try it directly from my Mega folder if you don't mind. It has the originals that I packaged rather than the ones that the uploader team downloaded and then re-upped.

It's slim, but there is a possibility it corrupted for them on download. More than likely though it's the file itself that's borked.

I'll shoot you a DM with the 1.8.0 mega folder.
