Ren'Py Time Loop Hunter [v0.77.10] [Hydrahenker]

[Lakan]

I can't finish HOSPITAL - DAY 3
step 186. Go to Dana's room.

This option is unavailable for me on day 3. I have it on day 2 only.


Any ideas?

I have the same problem. I tried to increase my fun points, but it just stays at 19, and I'm using the version 0.16.10.
The Mini games are automatically skipped in the game. Is this the reason why the Step 186 Go to Dana's room is unavailable? I would be grateful for any ideas.

Could you check in your 'Current timeline' that you have 'You didn't save Dana' in Day 1?

if you start a new game
try first to delete all your save files also persistent file
also delete the same files in your user profile

Did you tried to make a deal with Benson on Day 2 but fail? Girls don't like snitchers.

Well, that doesn't work.
This is not problem where savefile is corrupted, but problem is unicode is implied, as default coding while text of game is coded in something else.

Minigames don't affect Hospital, so make sure Dana IS actually in the hospital.

Updated the OP.

Return button in the menus doesn't work if you haven't started/loaded into the game. You can only get out of there by quitting and restarting the game, or by loading or starting a game.

I really hate game where I need to stare at screens and follow a certain walkthrough to enjoy the most outcome ...why cant it have linear storyline that has impact based on your decisions so you can replay different ways & explore rather than following step by step like if you dont buy this tea you wont have this scene if you dont talk to the secretary at evening that other scene wont unlock etc etc . Just make storylines change based on the path we choose not the other material irrelevant things

I enjoy the concept of this game. It's getting exponentially more complicated to play as time goes on, though. I think he'll have to simplify the days later on.

I like it too ..but when it heavily depends on the actions of interacting with objects then it becomes really annoying . A game with perfect balance is "My SIster Mia " It has those things too but the thing that game does better is that it tells you what to do . you dont have to open up your phone or open another tab & stare at that walkthrough to make sure whether you are following the right step to get the scene . If the game gives you hints of your next action then that is far more better than staring at walkthroughs & enjoy the game at the same time

Did you also, right after finishing (or skipping) the interface intro, get a `utf8` codec can't decode byte 0xe9 in position 11: invalid continuation byte error?

I did and to fix the problems you're having right now I went into the file game/char_Ayumi.py and edited line 31 from

memayumi3.init_event('timelooprem', dayparts[0], 'hacker_lair',"Ayumi has déjà vu while talking to you, like she can remember the time loop.",'root')

into

memayumi3.init_event('timelooprem', dayparts[0], 'hacker_lair',"Ayumi has deja vu while talking to you, like she can remember the time loop.",'root')

From my reading of the tracebck (Posted at the bottom for dev) there appears to be some issue with the shipped lib/pythonlib2.7/encodings/utf_8.pyo file. I tried replacing it with a version from The Red Room V0.1, but that didn't fix anything so I think this might be a problem with Ren'Py itself.

The problem is that it doens't read the valid multibyte 0x00E9 as é, but as 0x00 and then 0xE9. Since 0xE9 isn't a valid UTF8 byte, it throws an error

EDIT: I just tried running the game in wine instead of using the bash shell and it works without problems... Are you running a UNIX-like distro?

I have followed the walkthrough to the letter, I get to the Hospital where I'm supposed to help Cynthia by asking about Dana. I'm in the timeline where Dana gets hurt, but when I go to ask the receptionist about her, the option is not there. I've tried even living through that timeline, watching her get hurt, going the next day and still the option doesn't show up. I've tried doing it either talking to or not talking to Cynthia first.

What the hell am I missing?

 

[vimmers]

maybe go to this path in WT
CYNTHIA (The girl with a scar)

you first need to work as temp

 

[RoadWulf]

I did already, that's how she shows up in the first place. What I'm saying is I'm at that point in the Walkthrough and the option to ask about Dana from the Receptionist isn't there.

When I ask Cas about Progressing Cynthia's story I get a Rollback Error.

 

[vimmers]

ok can't help you with

Rollback Error

I get where you are coming from. I tried this game last year and I wasn't a fan because of similar issues, but I like that this game exists. I dislike the game but like that it exists, to reiterate. There is plenty of room for games to take a rather novel approach to gameplay even if you or I don't like it. The worse thing I can think of is if every game was a ren'py VN and I say this as someone who prefers ren'py VN games. If no one tries something different then nothing new gets developed. I'd hate to be stuck with flash games from a decade ago because no one was willing to try something new.

The whole point of this game is for the PLAYER to solve the "mystery" using rather unique mechanics vs. the Main Character solve the "mystery." It isn't what I am looking for but that doesn't mean other people wont enjoy it. The more variety we have in game the better the industry and the more likelihood that any given game will be something you like but that also means you have to accept that some games will not be what you like.
