dacris69 I'm not sure where you saw a page, but Steam banned the game without the possibility to hand in a changed version. The answer would have been the middle of August

This is a pity. It does seem short-sighted of them to ban games with extreme prejudice like that. I've seen many other games that have "steam versions" that meet their content guidelines.
NewTricks I understand them. I wouldn't put my name beneath any random game either and risk legal trouble for distribution. They are international, which means the whole thing is one big headache. Siding with caution, especially when it comes to small devs, is probably the right thing to do. Sucks because I lost a lot of money but It's not like I thought I'd ever publish on Steam when I started developing PwF.
So I'm trying to get all the achievements and the only one I'm missing is "Hard Harem". Is this just a bait or is it actually doable? I've followed the same steps I've used to get all the other routes, but it blocks me from certain choices that I could do beforehand for seemingly arbitrary reasons.
On a separate topic, I can't say I'm a fan of how some of the dialogue is constructed. At times it's fine, at others it reads less like an actual conversation between two real teenagers/young adults and more like a rejected Oscar Wilde scene. I guess "formal, stilted, and a touch pretentious" would be the best way to describe it.

Vagabond Scholar It's not a bait. There should be a hint when you open the Achievements tab and click on the locked Achievement. You can't go through the Harem Route without activating CheatMode, so it's different from the rest. Here you need to go through the Harem Rout without using a Walkthrough.
Also congratulation on getting the ??? Achievement. I really thought it was too out of the box for people to bother with it.

Ah, that's where I was messing up then. I was assuming that like the other "hard" ones, there must have been a way to pull it off without cheat mode, so I was doing the typical route choices for all characters without a walkthrough, but without activating cheat mode. That's what I get for overthinking things.
i want to know this game has 2 main characters and a 2-way storyline So that we can play for a while?

The game has one MC and 4 LIs. The Dev is preparing another game that will use one of the characters from this game (Daniel) as MC. Originally this was included as a second part of the game, but (I guess) after complaints about having multiple protagonists he decided to make two separate games. In that the new MC will have other LIs different from the ones that the MC of this game has.

Hi HighbornTiger, I'm sorry to bother you again, however I'm very glad to see that your next game,Zoltan Redbeard Update: Steam made it very clear that they will never publish Playing With Fire. This kind of sucks, but it is what it is. My next game will be something Steam will allow. But first I need to finish Steve's perspective.
Wait for it... I already did. Check out my latest PatreonYou must be registered to see the links.

Sure is, I launched the store page this morning.
The first 40 mins are already behind a paywall on my Patreon.
Early Access starts in Feb 2023 with roughly 3-4 hours of playime. It should be in development for about one-two years.
Feel free to add it to your wishlist

HunterSeeker Can you describe the issue in more detail? There is a good chance that the patch has been downloaded a few thousand times. I suspect the problem is on your end.
To install the patch, you replace the d0.rpy file in the game folder. That allows you to switch on siblings mode. You know that the patch is installed when you see a small icon in the lower right corner during a playthrough telling you if siblingsmode is active or not.
If you opened the game at least once and then installed the patch, siblingsmode won't be switched on by default since it works with persistent data. If that's the case you can just turn it on in the pre-game or in-game settings menu.

Damn, that's funny. I wishlisted a Foreign World on steam today without even realizing it was your game. Sorry to hear that this one got the ban however. Had this wishlisted as well until it disappeared into oblivion. Was kinda surprised to hear it was due to the school setting issue since I have roughly 100 VN's in my steam account that take place in schools (one of which was just released earlier this month). Sorry that you got one of those anal-retentive reviewers that steam seems to love so much these days. Anyways, I enjoyed this one even though it was a little rushed at the end. All the best to you.
Hi! HighbornTiger Just want to congratulate you on the game. It did felt rushed at the end but I wasn't really into the intrigue and other characters, I really justplayed for the relationship between the two MC and while I wouldn't have said no to more scenes between them (because you did a great job) it ended fairly for them .
Sad to see Steam didn't validate the game though. That's too bad.
