Thank you for your question.

I have applied for Steam but it still might take 1-3 months to live there. 

If you talk to vixen or the others does the compass come back? usually the code to bring the UI back is at the end of the dialog, so talking with others can bring it back. I checked the code but was not able to find an error. 

Thank you!

Next big update (v1.4) will be out around early Dec

Does the compass back to town not appear? I think the compass is the only way out of the fox den. 

Thanks for the comment. I guess it’s good to know it is a recognized bug at least. I’ll wait for support to get back to me.

Hello,

Has anyone experienced an issue where their game remains at the very bottom of every tag after being removed from quarantine?

Here’s what happened:

• At the beginning of October, my game was placed in quarantine and a few hundred dollars in payments were frozen.
• I contacted itch.io support. Following our email exchange, the game was removed from quarantine and the payments were released. I didn’t receive a reply confirming the resolution; I noticed the changes myself and that they payment sudden went through.
• For approximately two weeks since then, the game has consistently appeared last in every tag it belongs to. It has around 60,000 total downloads and still receives more than 100 downloads a day.

To clarify, this isn’t simply a drop from its previous ranking. The game appears at the very bottom of every relevant tag whenever I check. I’m wondering whether a restriction might still be in place or whether this could be a technical issue.

I’ve submitted another support ticket (#417255), but I’d appreciate hearing from anyone who has experienced something similar. Since the game was recently removed from quarantine, I’m unsure whether this behavior is expected or whether something hasn’t fully reset.

Did this happen to your game, and if so, how was it resolved?

I am trying to get v1.4 out on early access December sometime. 

For early access it is 10$ on itch.io or Patreon/subscribeastar for the special edition.

For early access of the public edition it is 5$ but only via Patreon or SS

I am also trying steam but do not know when it will be approved as it’s still in application process. 

If you are a patron you can get the links from the Patreon Edition channel in Discord. If you got it on Itch, you need to download from the Patreon Edition (storefront) page. This page is for the free pubic version. 

Hello,

Thanks for checking out the game. The story is a corruption arc, so the MC does start out weak and with character flaws. He does change a lot in chapter 2 when the main game starts. To preview the future scenes to see if it is for you, you can unlock them in the bedroom bookshelf cheat menu. 

• The Chapter 1 "Prologue": In the first chapter, the MC plays the role of a "good person." Think of this as a long prologue. From Chapter 2 onward, the mask comes off. The player will be given meaningful choices to stay on a "good" path or lean into "evil." If the MC feels too nice right now, it’s because you are witnessing the starting point before his descent.

Hello!

it’s back in the deep wood ruins, a room or two past echo.

The wiki has a lot detailed quest info if you get stuck again. 

Thanks for playing! 

Thank you!

No immediate plans to add more languages but I am happy to add more I get enough interest! Arabic could be a good next language to add

I am not sure yet, but perhaps the same as here. However I might add some additional features for steam that normally come with the $20 Patreon sub, so maybe I’ll price and 15$.

Still debating on the price. If supporters have already purchased on other platforms and are supporting there I can also just send them free stream codes. Only 1% ever buy the game so I don’t want to give supporters a hard time.

Thank you! Happy you like the game! I hope the French translation was ok! 

Since the game goes 1 day at a time, it might be hard to do this without a time-skip. 

So as of right now, I am not sure. It will be part of the multiple endings though. 

Thank you! Glad to hear you like the game ^^ 

hello! You can unlock the bonus scenes using the bedroom bookshelf chest menu or by playing them in-game.

Those scenes are not hidden by safe passage mode. To change the mode you can start a new game and turn it off (if you want go) and it will turn off across all saves. 

Some users reported a similar bug in past. For them, deleting the games persistent data, then using bookshelf chest unlocked everything fixed all issues with the gallery. (Don’t delete saves, just persistent data) 

I’ll take a second look at this as a potential bug as well. Sorry for the trouble and ty for the support! 

Hello!

Thanks for your comment. Glad you are enjoying the game!

The Wiki is the best place for info on quests and scenes. It should all be there. There is also a gallery unlock cheat in the bedroom bookshelf that will unlock everything. 

I saw the purchase with no download within the last hour, so I emailed you the links.  

Please let me know if there are any other issues access the game. Thanks! 

Sorry to her you are having issues. If you can hop on the Discord and DM me I can send you the links there. 

¡Hola! Gracias por jugar el juego. Creo que es posible que hayas publicado esto en el lugar equivocado. ¿Podrías publicarlo en la página del juego? Allí te puedo responder. ¡Gracias!

I was just going off the other posts I see in this community forum. Perhaps they are not representative of the average case but many of them are things like “45 days and Xyz issue still not solved!”. Maybe the folks who get their cases resolved don’t bother to post a follow up, but I see a lot of frustrated posts on this particular topic which has me concerned. 

I have dealt with support myself a few times in the past. While they have gotten to most of my issues, some have never gotten a reply. Those were more minor issues, unlike this one though, which is causing me to do my own customer support with players DMing me with questions and concerns about the message. No one knows what it means or why it’s there and I don’t know what to tell them.

Most issues are my own but this one goes out to my player/supporters and I feel obligated to clear it up for those worried I’ve been hacked or they downloaded a virus. Etc. 

My apologies, I not trying to break any rules I am just trying to get help.

From what I can tell the only option is just to send a support ticket and then they may or may not ever respond to it? I guess the reason for my question about timing was because I see many posts about the support team not responding and I am not sure when/if I should try again, etc. 

I guess it has only been 5 days, so maybe not enough time to tell. I am not sure. 

I also have some payments being processed currently and was not sure if this quarantine issue would impact that or not. I know they review the payments individually before releasing them, I assume they would not want to send them out to an account that was under quarantine? 

Sorry for the questions, not sure what you may or may not have knowledge of in this regard. 

Hello,

Thank you for your help earlier. I have still not heard back from support at all and was wondering if you had any idea how long it takes? 

I see comments ranging from 3 days to months and it has me worried. 

This has basically destroyed my traffic... and is hurting my reputation. The game was not new or small and had over 50k downloads and 250k views  this year it is also a source of income for me. I am still getting 50+ or so downloads a day and even some purchases despite the quarantine but it is getting worse day by day... Since there have been so many downloads I assume they would have reports by  angry players by now if something was actually wrong. 

I'm willing to show them whatever they need I just want to get this taken care of ASAP. It seems pretty brutal a punishment for the crime of getting a new phone :(

Thank you! Glad you like it!

To your question - yes and yes haha 

Aiming for early December! 

Aiming for early December. I try and do large updates about every 3 months. 

Hello! Thanks a lot that would be great.

I understand the need for these types of security features, I just hope it can be reviewed quickly. Happy to provide whatever info is needed. Thanks again. 

One day! Maybe in the next few months with v1.4!

Ill add if it helps, my ticket is #409175
My page has also been indexed and up for almost a year now. 

Players recently started reporting “WARNING: This Page Has Been Quarantined” when trying to download my game.

The reports began shortly after I logged into my itch.io account on a new phone. I hadn't updated the game files in a few days, so I’m wondering whether that login triggered a security review, although I can’t confirm the cause.

I was seeing around 400–500 downloads and 2,000 views a day over the preceding few days. The latest figures are down to 26 downloads and approximately 200 views.

I contacted support about 24 hours ago but read posts about games being quarantined for months. Does anyone have experience with this? Some of my support requests in the past have taken a week+ to get a reply and I am worried about the damage this is doing to the game which was doing well until now :( 

Thank you! ^^ 

Thank you! I try to put out weekly updates pretty often as blogs - I share all the updates on v1.4 as I can. Expected release date would be around early December. 

Thank you!

I think the Wiki can help here:
https://serenia.miraheze.org/wiki/Quests/The_Apprentices

The night scheme. Once Prince Nagafen has unhooded in the molten depths, simply sleep: that night MC works out how to rig the re-take and instructs the Helping Hands. (Until then the journal parks this step under "continues with the main story.")

I added pics of the location to the Wiki

Thank you! Glad you like the game!

I think some time in late November 

I think this means you need to keep exploring before you can do the next part of that quest. Right now the dungeon ends around the time you meet the big lava frog. You should be able to progress all the content in the current build once you had made it that far.

Links seem to be working, but sometimes Disc will block you if it thinks your account is not verified as an adult. Other NSFW Discs work ok for you? 

thanks for the feedback. Any bugs you can report here or in the discord.
