i can't use the demo in chase this is something playable not with the app not without it.
The torrent works, but man is it slow... over all it's a shame to see this game being abandonded just like that
This either needs a serious update or be taken down, considering it ask for donations, but you can't even download it, because the only provided method is a torrent, which is completely dead.
I'm guessing there is no 'adult patch' to fix the 'landlady' business? the wording just gets so annoyingly messed up sometimes the way it is.
can someone pls share a zip or another way to download it? i know its anoying, but i really want to give a shot to this game and i see the magnet ain't working no matter what i do, and mega link is broken down
last update to the game was january 4th 2023, and it seemed to be a port. extremly sad to see this game be abandoned. its up on steam with no release date shown. i was hooked on the story and the art grew on me despite the same face syndrome being super obvious. the women being built like fucking amazons is also new and really hot. sad well never see this project completed.
why is it not letting me go into veras house
dis makes no sense
so I guess its abandoned
It's been 10 months
Will development continue?
8 months since last update, not looking good for this one
does this require something else to run it? every time I download it, its a TORRENT file and requires to be opened with something else leaving me unable to play it.
chapter 0ne?
Can you directly upload to itch (since game’s less than 1GB) or link to the mega share from patreon instead of torrent (no seeders)?
Hi dev is pregnancy planned? Also if you plan to include lesbian content can you make it avoidable or give the opportunity to prevent girls from being lesbians. I don't know why most games don't have the opportunity to avoid it. Sorry for asking this is just that I don't like lesbian content.
does this have animated sex scenes?
not yet
It Does. but only around the end of the update.
excellent game! But I got stuck in the minigame of the weights. Wouldn't the mechanic of pressing repeatedly have been better?
I really wish I could play the game on my Mac.
Yeah same here, I can't seem to progress
Really glad to see the project coming around again on my feed. Renpy is pretty reliable from what I've seen, but I did encounter a slight bug I found while trying to get started on replaying up to where I was before. The skip function ended up not working after a certain point involving Vera in the classroom. I'm not sure if it was the time wasting option or the chat that did it, but it greyed out the skip button and the hotkey to skip text stopped functioning properly. I have unseen text set to skip, and I tried playing with other skip options to see if I could get it to work again. Not a huge bug, but one that I encountered nonetheless. Best wishes for the game's continued development!
Thanks. The renpy version runs much smoother too.
is dev still alive ?

yep. Elvishious left but we have new coders
got a problem after i saved and quit, i loaded the game and now i cant use the skip time and the bed so im stuck and cant progress because i can not end the day
Hey so recently I've had a problem with the game. It seems to have somehow changed my progress.
[ Spoilers] So when I last saved my game I was with Jojo about to go over to the teachers house for dinner. But when I loaded the game I was with the teacher and we were already dating and also I lost most of my money I had earned.
i think its dead sadly
It hasn't been updated since January this year and you are calling it dead? ... What a joke
i'm going off how they post.
How would you recommend someone go about downloading your game? Because I use 7zip and unlike other games I download using it, this game never extracts correctly. I'm probably doing something wrong. If I am please lmk.
its been a bit and i still have this issue. it doesnt give me the option to extract the files at all. i tried compressing it into a zip first but the it just puts the original 7zip file into a folder. idk what im doing wrong. if someone could let me know that'd be sick.
I love the art, it is unique and exceptional. The story not so much, add some NTR please, make it a bit interesting it gets boring. Really wish there's an option, what a waste of amazing art style
no
honestly why even play this game then? this isn't the idea of the creator, if you want NTR then get yourself a girl mate, she would be happy to help you out with your kink.
Go play other games, take the L please.
Is this game dead, the latest update I can find is 77 days ago,. and the section called "continuous delivery" is crossed out, is there anywhere I can go to find more information or is this just abandoned, I really don't want it to be, I found it this morning and fell in love with it, like seriously, do you know how hard it is to find a good game like this just out of the blue without looking for what feels like hours on end, even if it's some random post from like a month ago, is there anything reliable to look at for information.
It's discord, bro. Here https://discord.com/invite/TUeQ67e
I played this through. The art is excellent. The spectrography minigame is mundane and I felt no drive to earn currency. I'm not sure how I feel about the storyline, I can't say it's typical of the genre which is respectable. I wish it had been more NSFW. The intense focus on psychology far surpassed the limits of my interest more than once. It's certainly text heavy and could do with trimming. However, there were some moments in which I felt struck. GaussianFracture bares unique potential in the industry and I'd be eager to see a new project.
I've run into a bug where the game doesn't let me press wait to go to the next time skip, I can't go to bed, and the quests are acting like I haven't done things that I have. Starting a new game and loading a file from there seems to make it act like the game is at the beginning since I can access the map but can't actually use it and I can't go to bed either nor wait.
I tried using the save provided with the game download which actually works but that's ahead of where I am so it's kind of pointless. Any way to fix this?
Edit: Partially fixed it by starting a new save and getting that to night and then switching over to the busted save. That allowed me to sleep to the next day, but the Wait button is still borked though and the game thinks I haven't completed quest steps I've done(IE not checking off that I bought sunscreen lotion when it's in my inventory)
What time release about 0.2.6 ，I really like this story. thanks
Love this game. It's got some rough bugs almost all the time, but it's a great story with characters I can actually care about. My one request would be to implement some type of skip text option. If you miss an update and can't get the content for the update you missed, starting a new file would be the go to option. It'd be easier to skip through most of the text from the early game.
especially since loading a save half the time overrides the quest progress. Causing me to restart
Is this game abandoned? I checked the patreon and it said something about a refund, but the post was locked so I couldn't see the rest of it
how to use the coffee?
Will you add an android version or no?
Use JOI if you want to play on android (using the desktop version of the game)
You mean joiplay?
Didnt work for me.
Search a video, i didnt use it, but is an option for android
Heya, changing the names in characters.csv seems to be crashing the game. Is this normal?
Good characters
i love shota and mom
Did something change in this update because I'm not able to download it on the itch companion app for windows. Just thought I'd ask because I'd like to not restart the game. I've had to restart too many games recently.
You'll have a save included in the download that take you at the end of the previous version ;)
I like slow burn stories BUT I have one huge complaint, and this maybe due to my eyesight, The minigame at the science lab is awful. Maybe doing the three boxes once would have been tolerable but doing it 3 times every time you do it felt almost like I was torturing myself.
I have two logs saying update in next version. Is there anymore content before I continue?
Nope you've seen everything so far :)
