I think the build is just for Win PC but playable through emulator on Linux.

i may have made a mistake switching to linux if thats the case , my pc is from 2014 and well it wasnt going to update no more and i felt like saving it then to see it being useless
The game works on Linux, I'm running it. It's extremely rare I've encountered a Renpy game on here that doesn't work on Linux FYI, and I've played at least an hundred.
Try extracting the zip from from CLI, use the unzip command.

From Mega.
Like I wrote, try from from CLI.
Open gnome-terminal or whichever terminal you have installed, then type :
cd ~/DownloadsPress Enter.
Type:
unzip Theater_Of_Sinners-0.2.alpha-pc.zipPress Enter.
If there's a error with the archive that will tell you.
You can use
unzip -t Theater_Of_Sinners-0.2.alpha-pc.zip also to perform a verification of the archive.If it helps you or anyone else, I run all RenPy games through a script which sandboxes them and disables internet connectivity.
It also scales them using FSR, here's the script if you want it:
Edit: I've attached comparison screenshots, default (off.png), FSR scaling (fsr.png), FSR scaling + vkBasalt (fsr_vkbasalt.png). Easier to see the difference if you have them at their original resolution.
It also scales them using FSR, here's the script if you want it:

ill look into it thanks am new to linux so i havent used a terminal before
No worries.
You can try PeaZip also if the CLI is too daunting, it has a GUI and is simple to use.
Well, that's fair. it's your game, you should make it how you imagine it.
Hey, perhaps Agnes's daughter can make an appearance too. Every good game benefits from having a skinny teen getting corrupted in it.

I already said it in the review, but I think this game would benefit greatly from a replay option. From the structure of the game, I think it would be a really easy thing to do.
I mean a "gallery" where you can see past scenes again, I don't know if I'm explaining myself.

She is 15 !!! Sorry, no Agnes daughter =D She will appear again though.
Yes. It's planned. An event selection look alike together with the 'seen-label' function from Ren'Py. The issue is that events tend to play different based on levels, stats, etc. I have seen before that some galleries ask you for which stats the characters had when doing the event but I am no so fond of it. I'd like the gallery to separate the different options, but I didn't structure it that well... every variation of an event should be on its own label. Long story short... yes... there will be gallery of some sort.

Paula "So, when are you finishing 0.2.Final and start working on MY update."
Dev "Here... look at the dev plan..."
Paula "What !!?!?!? You won't be working on the Theater until mid October !?!?!"
Dev "Yeah... sorry... I am away of my PC until then and working with the laptop is a real pain."
Dev "I'll be working on a short story though... more on that later."
Paula "But... BUT..."
Paula "I am calling my agent !"
Dev "Wait ! Don't call anyone ! You are getting an event in 0.2.Final !!"
Paula "Ok. I am going to let it pass this time. But do NOT forget who is the star."
-------
So... 0.2.Final almost ready. Coming later this week and yes...
It will contain a Paula event for Mr. Smith level 4. So if you got this photo...
You will be able to play the additional event.
Paula "Shit... another old bastard event."

Hey there. I didn't do any android port myself. You have port thanks to an awesome user that did it. I think he post it in the beginning of the thread, so maybe you can ping him.
But I'd recommend waiting until 0.2.Final, which comes soon.

Hey there ! The middle photo is somehow the look I am looking for a comic like thingy with the story of the mother of Paula. Is that AMD only ? Do you know anything about that technique ? Like if it is something I could post-process all images in say... a python script ?
Thx !
This is the best news I’ve heard in a while! Though I’m sorry you won’t be able to work on the rest until October, a Paula event is a sweet little treat. Can’t wait.
And if I’m reading it right, the update you start in October will be centered more on Paula?
Most of the look comes from a shader called

, the other shaders don't affect the look as much,
You must be registered to see the links
(with blendmode set to 2) from the same author, and

(with vibrance set to 0.19).If you're looking for a GLSL alternative to Depth Cues, there's some similar but not as good shaders in libretro, for example,

. Edit: There's also some ambient occlusion and ambient obscurance shaders available in WebGL (some available in
You must be registered to see the links
there's some gists on Scalable Ambient Obscurance also), which offer a similar effect to depth cues.I'm not aware of any program that can take a shader and process it on an image, but I'm no expert on image editing.
Here's a script I quickly wrote that can do that using the same programs I'm already using (gamescope / vkBasalt), I'm sure you can make something better, I made this in a few minutes:
Bash:
#!/bin/bash
# License GPLv3 or later
cleanup() {
exit 0
}
trap cleanup EXIT
inPath="$(realpath "$1")"
if [[ ! $1 =~ images/?$ ]] || [[ ! -d "$inPath" ]]; then
echo "Pass the path to the images folder as first argument. i.e.: $0 /home/example/SomeGame/game/images"
exit 1
fi
for image in $(find "$inPath" -type f -iregex ".*\.\(jpg\|png\|webp\)$"); do
outPath=$(echo "$(dirname "$image")" | sed "s%game/images%game/images_out%")
mkdir -p "$outPath"
imgName="$outPath/"$(basename "$image")""
imgName="$(echo "$imgName" | sed "s/\.[a-zA-Z]*$/.png/")"
rm -f "$imgName"
ENABLE_VKBASALT=1 gamescope --fullscreen -- timeout 1.5 ffplay -noborder "$image" &
spectacle --background --nonotify --fullscreen --output "$imgName" --delay 800
doneAs to why use spectacle and not use ffplay or mpv to dump the output to the image : vkBasalt is running on the gamescope image, so from the perspective of ffplay or mpv, the image is not modified. Gamescope can output a screenshot using a keybind, but I don't see a command line option, maybe using something like xdotool (EDIT: or ydotool if using Wayland) would work, then the delay could be avoided. This would also solve the issue of scaling.
