What's an RPA file, is this something I can help with?

To Dev:
Enjoyed the game so far and the soothing music in the background is nice. Looking forward to the future updates.
Ps: The terry scene was funny ;)
Thanks! much appreciated!

Chapters run from wednesday to wednesday - so the upcoming friday is chapter 3



You're using v2.0 - You need to start a fresh game on this version.
Alternatively download v2.0.1 - it includes a fix for using old save files
Ok thanks. I do have v2.0.1 downloaded and still have that problem when reloading my old save. I will try starting a fresh game though.

What KArma! Now you know how it feels with the questionaire about Tech Stuff.
Players had to use Google or ChatGPT to get past that.
When you are off, you switch off your job, you are playing a game to unwind,
you are off duty and sometimes could not care less about your job and the names of this or that technicality.
What's an RPA file, is this something I can help with?
RPA is a native Ren”Py archive where it packages the files and folders inside the game directory inside the game.

the swimming mini game is making no sense to me, i hit the blue dots but the current target only ever goes up to 2/10 before resetting. What am i doing wrong here?

You have to hit the blue dots as much as you can to add up 90. But it's crazy difficult. I got 74 at most, although I'm no gamer. Maybe someone can get that 90 score or make a mod to make it achivable. As to the fight with the jocks.

That just it though, i'm hitting the blue dots but only ever see enough to get 2 out of 10, as soon as i hit 2 of them the current target counter resets

The archive.rpa, it's bad, where your images, videos, etc. are stored.

See here, and also you can see all the all the problematic files inside the archive.
Ah, that's odd. I'm not super familiar with that whole world, but I do have a program called rpaExtract (purple-pinkish logo)
doesn't give any errors for me - but to save you the trouble - I extracted it, zipped it up for you and uploaded it here:
Here's the offending folder by itself:

Here's everything unpacked if that's easier :)

The dots work in pairs, every pair of dots allows you to contribute 10 to the overal score.
So you should try to click every pair of dots 10 times.
For example hitting the first dot 7 times, and the 2nd dot 3 times
3rd dot 6 times, 4th dot 4 times to make 10, etc.. all the way up to 90

One of the goals I set for the game is that it has to be realistic. If at some point there's a compelling story in which this may be realistic, it may happen, if not it won't.

Hmm, well one of the goals is to create a realistic story. If the IT guy can't fix some basic IT problems, is it still realistic?
If you don't know the solutions just scroll back and forth between the answers until you see it's correct, or follow a walkthrough.

Nah it's not that. One of the goals I set when I started the game was to make a story that's somewhat believable. The story is about an IT guy, it kinda makes sense for him to have to solve some IT problems when he's at work. ....
..so you can absolutely deal with it by scrolling back and forth (That, if anything, is extremely infuriating. There are probably only 1/10th of the players here who are IT people.)

There's only one problem with that. Too much realism often destroys the interest in games. I don't want a game to be like real life.

You never ask the player too much about what they want to see. If the player doesn't want to see something, then it should be made avoidable. Many devs put skipping everywhere and it doesn't work for tricky fetishes.

What even is the QT app? There is none anywhere, in the phone there's a blank space on the top row, is it supposed to be there?

That's what we had to use to, but I still think there is some issue, as all the other tools report errors, while all other games extract fine, as with the compression tool, it extracts it and packs it back just like it came. But for some reason those errors come up. I just left the compressed version unpacked.

Dev, if you're going to use AI art in the side content then I strongly recommend leaving hands and feet out of the frame...

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

IMO, I think it's better to leave AI art out of the game entirely. Too much uncanny valley weirdness and the AI art is completely unrelated to the VN. The character renders are more appealing anyway. If you must add images for the dumb minigames, might as well do more character renders instead of weird AI "art".

That's fair feedback - I'll look into improving this :)

want really fond of the terry scene. it could've been funny for me if it wasnt the fact the MC remembers being raped and felt it. idk i quit the game after that so no idea what i missed.

i guess the mini games and guessing games for the IT was a but annoying as well. maybe a skip function would be nice.
