VN Ren'Py Abandoned The Arson Betrayal [v0.7.5] [Crispy Chicken Productions]

[Ka1tzer]

Just started the game, and right out the gate I got a question:

Right in the beginning of the game, when Alice follows us into the apartment and we let her stay the night we're alone (we can lie about having a GF that never shows up). Alice then leaves.

Shortly after that, we get introduced to Ben as our resident best friend. Thing is, he's introduced as someone who has been crashing with us in our apartment for a good while now. But he was nowhere to be seen the first time Alice comes around, nor in the morning after.

Is this a continuity error, or is that addressed in the game at some point I haven't gotten to yet? (I have just met Tiffany for the first time as of right now, very much in the beginning of the game, but already a while since the events above take place that I feel the question is appropriate)

Stuff like that really stand out to me.

Okay, just found this today. I'm playing "normal" (I guess) but I'm curious what "Casual Mode" changes? Is it about content? pacing? choices?

Also, why does it keep telling me a codex is getting updated if I can't look at it? (I don't know why, but that kind of thing annoys me. If a game tells me about something, I want to check it out.)

I got here today, too.

It's further down the list for me, though.

My "LIST" is the 15-ish folders open on my desktop and how long my attention span lets me play any one game before deciding what to do next ...

Are you more of a "creative"? Oddly, I score pretty evenly - my corpus callosum is apparently a very broad, fast and busy highway. Must be why I was able to do so much successful tax planning (and beat the shit out of auditors) for so many years.

Meh ... I've never done any of those tests, but I don't think I'm "more of" anything. I'm reasonably creative, but not exceptionally. My academic skills are okay, but only a bit above average in most subjects. I'm an okay writer and decent at layout and presentation, but only 'cause it's been my job for over 25 years.

Oh, and I'm lazy as fuck.

 

[Elhemeer]

I have two things I want to say:

1) The fact that MC keeps his mind on the two hot college girls I'm pretty sure he JUST MET the day everything went down (and that they both suddenly are ready to drop cherries with him when the whole opening was a dare?) is almost more fantastical than the plot.

2) While confusing, game does live up to the title.

I do have a question, am I the only one who's starting to get real pissed about people winking every here and there for no damn reason ?
Every time I'm starting to get into the game there's always a random wink and it piss me off so bad, like it's not as if they were winking when doing innuendos, it mostly feel like the dev do this because he can't do certain types of facial expression so instead he just make them wink.
And not even real winks, they're literally just closing one eye and it's so damn cringe it weirds me out every single time. Just keep the same render instead of using cheap means to make conversation look "animated"

 

[Delegue]

I mean, I'm not trying to be offending because I know (or at least I can get) that developing a game is a huge work and all and honestly being someone who play VN for free I may not be legitimate to complain because I could just switch to another game.
But here's the thing, this game is great, really, but it's exactly because it's a great one that I don't get why those random winks exist, for the first few times it appeared I felt like there was some innuendos I didn't get because my main language is French and not English and the game being about betrayal and all I thought details were important but then as the story went on I realised it was just "random" and it just kept growing on my nerves
Also at some point, I think it was around the time the cop told me that there would be a lockdown (act 1 maybe chap 3 or 4), dude said he couldn't believe the two college girls where fine to share even tho I exclusively went for the dark haired one without interacting with the other one except when they both introduced themselves, I'm being vague because I don't know how the spoiler things work but those who have played will get what I mean and I thought changing it may help improve the immersion.

Okay, I'm liking this one so far, although I'm taking a break in the middle of Ch 3.

I'm a fan of harem games in general, and I like the story, which is a plus for me, but I'm not that big a fan of "choose your favorite" every 3-4 choices over and over again ... especially when we have barely got a chance to know them as a player.

Yay I am not alone! Drives me mad, just don't understand why to limit scenes in a harem game like this. Love the game otherwise.

Made a compressed Android port of The Arson Betrayal v0.7.5.

Got some basic gestures loaded in: swipe up for save menu, swipe down to hide UI, swipe left to rollback and swipe right to skip. Save files are now stored in the Documents folder. This sometimes means that you may need to close and re-open the port after installing so the save folder is properly created.

Please let me know if you encounter any issues with the ports and I'll see what I can do to get them sorted.
