1.7


- last chapter (VII) of the demo added,

- 2 missing CGs included (Nino's and Alan's)

- added notifs to the important choices/endings etc,

- fixed the weird looping gallery bug,

- small overall fixes,

It's was hard to conclude a game that is not finished, but I am sure most of the readers understand what 'demo' and 'fist project ever' mean, right? I'll update the game once more after a while to add: misc fixes, DLC snippets, and a link to the full game. 

If you get the 'gray screen' bug, there's 99% chance that starting a fresh game will fix it for you. Old saves might not work, just so you know.

Anyways, I hope my extended-summer project will bring you some enjoyment (or at least give you something to do when you're bored) despite the rushed scenes and many time skips. I guess the deal is, if you enjoyed the demo there's a chance you'll enjoy the full IF as well. If you didn't, you can skip the full game without any worries. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think that's all! Download the game from the main page. If you want to report a bug/error/what have you, please use the anonymous form (link on the main page as well).

Android installation manual:

  • Download the ‘apk’ file from the folder,
  • Install - you need to allow/enable the installation of files from outside the google store,
  • Because of the reasons mentioned above Play Protect will show you a notification, something along the lines of ‘do you want to install an application from outside of the store?’ If yes, click ‘yes’.

Once it installs you might get another similar message asking if you’d like to open an app from outside of the store and/or if you’d like to send it to them for scanning. Now, Ren’Py games notoriously show up as false positives, so I didn’t scan the app myself since I already scanned it on PC using 2 paid anti-viruses. You can send the file if you wish, but I can’t promise if you’ll be able to play it if they flag it as false positive. That said, with one of the latest Ren’Py updates it was said that Ren’Py should stop being flagged as false positive, but as I said, I can’t promise anything.

Now, as I said before, the phone version might be wonky (i.e. small buttons, etc) since it was always supposed to be a pc-only version. With my future projects, I will try to make separate versions for Android though.

As for iOS. Without a MAC device (and I don’t own one) I won’t be able to port the app. I might buy a cheap tablet in the future, but at the moment I can’t spend the cash needed, so please bear with me for a while.

I think this makes a good demo in that it gives you a feel for the story and an ending, although the ending leaves enough up in the air that it makes you wonder what is _really_ going on. I've only played through Laurent's route so far, but I wanted to suggest that if the MC is supposed to understand the part in French, then there should be subtitles. The MC seems to understand, based on the comments after, but my somewhat crappy French left me a little confused about the whole thing. Anyway, thank you so much for finishing this for us. I look forward to what comes next.

The demo's ending isn't really the full game's ending, as the full project stretches beyond the plot, but I am glad that the demo gives a feel of completion regardless! :D

Since it's really up to the player if MC can speak/understand other languages or not, I didn't want to add subtitles on-screen. That said, as in the other two routes the translation can be found in the codex section of the game (that little notebook icon in the upper left corner of the screen). It unlocks after a notification "Codex: Glossary" pops up on the screen. I hope that's a satisfactory compromise!

I've yet to play the full demo, but the amount of work and polish to the prior demo is really fantastic and I look forward to seeing the full project come to life. :) 

Thank you, I hope you'll enjoy the update. :D
