The Mac-Build isn't starting ("...cannot be opened")
-> Is it built for the M-chips?
We have an updated Mac build on Steam, but it's on a private branch right now (mainly for testing). Would you like to try that out?
In general yes, but currently I doubt I really have time to :(
I would like to (if possible) play demo version of the game on Mac, do you have this branch or would you update this page with new Mac build ?
Wah!! Truly looking forward to the full release, the story kept me hooked, the art is gorgeous!
Thanks so much Gyepi! 😭 Glad you were hooked ❤️
Is there any chance for an android release?
Not at the moment, sorry.
Linux build ?
About to be released :)
Bam! Just released!
Cool, Can't wait to try.
Can you check the Linux box in the linux build though, i can't download it like this through the itch app.
Done! Thanks for letting me know!
Hey, so what's the minimum requirements for this game? it just crashed my pc just after ending the second scene, when she goes to school i think.
I'm not sure if it's too much ram usage or something else, or the export doen't support opengl. have you been using 8k images? Scenes also takes long time to load.
It might not be a build problem as i don't have the lastest or best hardware.
I noticed that windowed mode didn't seem to work.
I also think advancing dialog with the space bar is better as it's more enjoyable than mouse press.
it's too bad i couldn't continue the story as it froze my computer, maybe this is only linux build problem ?
Can't wait to continue after the bug is fixed :)
i have a question, is the final version going to use the main prologue or the extended prologue? or is it uncertain currently
It'll use the main version, but will have the extra scenes you can view from the menu (optional).
Just finished the demo. That ending was soooo good! I can't wait for the full game. 😭
Thank you so much! 🙏
