Log inNEW RELEASE - v0.2.2 - THE PROLOGUE CONCLUDES!
The second of The Big Update releases has arrived!
v0.2.2 update: Contains fixes for all reported bugs (including the annoying window in the train!) as well as a total and comprehensive overhaul for translators. HUGE thanks to elreaw for all their help testing the many, many builds I went through!
Slightly less content in this one than I'd hoped, due to having to rework the introduction based on player feedback. To those that played the v0.1.0 release I would advise starting over again for this one just to see the new stuff, but it's not required so don't feel like you have to!
New user-interface stuff (should hopefully make things easier to read for those of you on small screens), a new "show" mechanic (basically the old CLUE system but you can now show anything to anyone), Jessica and Emma are back to their old proportions, added a bunch new toggles to the Options page (if you want rollback, make sure to go and toggle it on!) and - of course - the rest of the prologue content, up to you and Pixie making it back to your room.
This release was delayed due to all the reworking from player feedback, but hopefully everything is in a solid state now and it can just be content, content, content from this point on!
Next update will move into Act One content, and will re-introduce the Decorations system so you can start making your room look less like a prison cell!
I hope you enjoy! :)
If you have any more questions, ask them in the comments below, or over on the CK DISCORD!
I hope you enjoy this update! Next Early Access update will be in a couple weeks!

Definitely better than the first rendition... still wary until I see more of the wives, but a step in the right direction. I somewhat agree with Abigor on the noses/lips... it DOES work for some (like Veronica) but it looks a bit janky on others (Pixie isn't bad, but I miss her little anime expressions >.< ) Emma looks much better... a sort of goth/emo look (sans dark makeup) isn't too bad, but I do wish her hair was long again-- but she got some of that bashful/sweet back, and that felt WORLDS better. Jessica was also more familiar... love that she still has that temper. Barbed wire wrapped in velvet-- Glorious. Overall, I'm gonna say this looked so much better, and I'm not unhappy with the minor changes to the council... They were more on par with what I expected overall, and if that becomes status quo, I'll feel much better. I'll be pretty wary until I see Kana... please PLEASE be gentle with her and Ami...
Gah... hit 'Enter' like 'return' and now my comment is cut in half.
Anyway...
I'm all for polls... always was... and I think that it is a grand suggestion to avoid blowups like the first release of the rework. I AM going to say that this round felt a WHOLE LOT MORE like the Arc we know and love. Since we're looking at a full re-playthrough anyway, I'm ok with a bit of a wait for the catch up, as long as I'm not sitting through a further two years just to get back to where we were (that really WOULD feel like getting 'milked'... especially if future complications warrant another rework, for whatever reason) That said, some kind of time estimate for getting back to current would be nice. Also: The rumor mill is saying you'll have to change to one of the other payment platforms to keep the whole mind control thing. I don't know if there's any truth to it (honestly, I never used 'shatter' except that first time, when we aren't given a choice-- so it never felt like mind control for me. 'Release' was more like a distillation of feelings, or at least that's what it felt like to me) My main question regarding this topic is this: Will we be able to keep our vanguard roles on the switch? I'm more than happy to follow you to another platform (assuming my previous reservations can be put to rest) but it would suck to lose vanguard status after so long... (side note: if Subscribestar really does start that censorship nonsense I hope they go bankrupt catering to that n*z* b*llSh*t)
This comment is getting pretty lengthy, so I'll end it on a high note: This round was FAR better!
Tried to edit, screwed up again
I was going to add to the top- I can't start a new game at all in this version... it just auto-loads my last save. Also, a different folder did not help. First thing the game did was load my save from the first version (completely different folder, but BOTH folders are in the same folder as all of my AVNs) and had me looking at a black screen-- which also happens if you hit start without deleting your save on this version. Loads the latest save, but it's a black screen with a town marker. In other words, to start a new game, you have to delete save(s) and hit start, or it automatically loads up the save you just completed.
OK, that was a long add on...
Anyway, I meant what I said... This one felt more like home, Arc... This one made me smile. Thank you. I know it wasn't easy to change all that you did-- so Thank You for listening, and doing it anyway. The other differences are a lot easier to live with when my lovely ladies feel familiar... comforting... in the right ways. Again, Thank You.
That's now I meant to end this comment.
Please forgive me for sounding a bit... disjointed. It's 3am, and it's been a rough couple of days... long story.
I picked a really good time to remember this game exists! It's really cool seeing it's getting a rework.
Hello dear creator, regarding the new version, I have a request that most people probably haven't brought up. Could you please revert Pixie's appearance back to the old version?
The new version of Pixie has a very intense, almost murderous look in her eyes. Honestly, she comes across as someone who is very difficult to get along with. Whenever she stands next to the new Morgana, I feel like their roles have been swapped.
The old Pixie always gave me a feeling of being innocent and adorable. While the current version is indeed more mature and beautiful, it just doesn't feel like Pixie anymore.
Please, dear creator, would you consider this suggestion? I really, really miss the cute Pixie with the big, bright eyes and the neat, tidy hairstyle.
OK how do i get the Update when it keeps telling me there is an error and it won't allow me to update
Right so im returning after a year or so away and now its a completely different game with less content. Is there anyway for me to play the original while i wait for this new version to catch up?
