There's been quite a few questions over the course of this game's development, I'll try to knock 'em out and keep track of the most common ones here!
- I got to the end of Day [x] and it already ended! Where's the rest of the game?
As stated in the game's description, this game is very much in active development and will be for a while to come! The game's main plot is nowhere near finished, as of writing, but it is continually added onto with monthly updates. It's a little surprising how often this question gets asked...
- How often does the game update?
Once a month, usually. Ocassionally I may take a month off to work on KT's backend or similar commitments, but I will give notice via devlogs beforehand and provide an estimate for when to expect the next update!
- I just picked up the game again after a break (or switched to a different device), but it's gonna take so long to get caught up again!
Don't worry! There's a system in place now that'll fast-track you through the game's content and get you pretty close to where you left off. Simply start up a new game (if you're on a fresh installation, progress to the point where the pause button shows up, then start a new game again), and you'll be asked progressively if you want to skip past certain points in the game's story. Use this interface to get yourself as close as you can to where you last were, and you'll enter that point in the story with default equipment, stats, and personality, as well as a choice in romance partner, if applicable.
- (PC ONLY) I'm moving to a different computer and I want to keep my save files, where are they located?
Inside your %APPDATA% folder, which can be accessed through the Run program. Copy the old ones and place them in the same folder location on your new computer, and you should be good to go. Additionally, old versions of the game are safe to delete, you only need the latest version to play the game.
- Are there dateable characters?
Yes! Currently (as of 4/10/2024), there's two characters you can earn affection with, with more that are planned to be added as the story continues. Each will have generally the same amount of time commitment, writing, and assets put towards as all the others. Additionally, choosing a partner (or not choosing a partner) will never lock you out of the main story's content. All characters in the game's banner (minus Taavi) will be romanceable.
- How does romancing dateable characters work?
When the time comes (if your affection with that character is high enough), you'll be given an option for whether or not to pursue them. This will put you in essentially a trial period with them, where you'll receive some dialogue differences and an additional slightly-more-than-platonic situation or two. At a later point (usually after a few in-game days), you'll have the option to choose again whether or not to commit to them, making this the lock-in point. If you choose to commit, you'll have a relationship with that character over the rest of the story. If you choose not to commit, you'll leave your options open for other dateable characters that come along and for commitment-less situations.
- Will I be missing main story content by choosing a partner?
No, choosing a romance partner DOES NOT lock you out of main story content. To put this into an illustration...
While other VNs can typically have separate storylines attached to each romance partner, KT's story follows one major plot thread, while scenes between him and romance partners are auxiliary and come back to roughly the same point in the story. (Also worth noting in this illustration is that Partner A and B etc. are mutually exclusive, you cannot commit to A and get the scenes for B or C or whoever in the same playthrough) There is NEVER any plot-critical information missed by choosing a romance partner. However, there are certain scenes (not plot-critical) that can only be seen while Killigan is single and not committed to a partner. Keep multiple saves and use the skip point system if you want to see them all!
- Will there be a polyamorous/multiple romance partner route?
Short answer: No. Long answer: It'd take way too much extra time and writing to account for an entire additional route that involves multiple romance partners at once. While Killigan is single, there will be situations where he can engage in sexual encounters with 2 or more characters (not in the main cast), but a dedicated polyamorous romance route is not planned at this time.
- I don't like the QTE's, can I play without them?
Yep! There's options to adjust QTE preferences in the settings, namely:
All - All QTEs will be encounterable
No Rapids - All QTEs EXCEPT rapid-tap ones will be encounterable
Random - NO QTEs will be encountered, but the game will randomly decide (based on stats) whether or not Killigan succeeds at them
None - NO QTEs will be encountered, and the game will ALWAYS treat them as succeeded
- How do I obtain [x]? What do I have to do to sleep with [y]?
Seek out the help/problem-solving thread! Others may help guide you towards the right steps to take!
- Is there a Discord?
Yeah! If you've played the game at least once, you should be able to find it pretty fast on the main menu.
- Is there somewhere I can support development?
Of course! You can support through the game's Patreon, which has some great discord benefits like seeing new assets to be added, input on adult-oriented scenes...oh, and access to patron builds, which are released a month before public builds!
