I'm going to try building for android in the next release! In the meantime, the web version is playable on android and the windows version is playable on JoiPlay on android.
Also I managed to break it a couple times, but that’s my fault for playing on an unsupported device!
(It’s not gonna stop me tho)
Basically during combat if you click anything but the start button you have to restart to save bc I’m on mobile and there’s no touchscreen options (again, my fault for not using the right device)
Also I moved and can’t do anything anymore so I gotta restart again ;-;
Again these aren’t bugs, just me being silly, so really not a big deal.
How much we betting that Luca's mom was a previous host of a guardian (probably Aurora)? I am just imagining Aurora having a moment of shock as she sees the necklace and realizes that she remembers it from her previous host. It would fit, given all the other hosts were cis women.
Very nice game with good story and characters. I actually found myself caring quite a bit for these goobers. Can't wait for updates :3. The biggest complaint I have is that it would be nice to have art for all the different clothing sets, that's the only obvious placeholder that I noticed. Anyway, other than that, this game has been a blast!
hey, great game, I just have 1 complaint, and that is once you reach the end of week 2 you're not aloud to continue playing. I really like the game and the story is great, I just want to be able to see all the content currently available to me without starting a new playthrough. I'm not a dev so I don't know the reasons for this, but this makes seeing all of the content fairly tedious because there is a decent chunk of it crammed into such a short time frame, and the requirements make it worse. having content gated behind certain stat requirements is fine, but with how much in game time they take to increase it pretty much guarantees that multiple play throughs are needed to see all of the side content. with that out of the way, the game is great, keep up the good work.
edit: just realized that I didn't specify that this is for the side content, obviously the main story should need multiple playthroughs or save scumming to see.
Hi there, and thank you for playing and for your kind words. As for continuing to play after hitting end of content, that is tricky to do while keeping saves compatible with the next version of the game. Perhaps I could disable saving and do some kind of endless mode when you reach end of content. I'll look into doing something like that in a future release.
I've run into a hardlock where, on the night of the raid in week 1, right before you actually enter the abandoned store, Aurora's second text will simply not appear and I can't progress. Don't know what caused this. I am playing in browser.
This is my third playthrough, here's what I've done this time -
Shirt on for swimming, Dreamt as a boy, showed empathy to the monster
Studied four times at my desk
Learned Ice Lance
Studied the Skin Walkers
Told Sarah about the Skin Walkers
Cleared Riverside before Sarah's failed attack
Got clothes from Coolies
Have no idea if this will help you identify where the bug comes from but I hope it helps. Looking forward to future updates!
Thank you for the bug report! Was there an error message when the game hard locked? I did a playthrough recreating your steps, and I haven't been able to get the hard lock to occur.
Ah, I think I may have found it! I just reloaded and decided on a whim to change my clothing, see if that fixed it. It did! I switched to wearing the flannel option at some point, and I changed back to the pink blouse and I'm bug free! Hope this helps pinpoint the issue!
After moving your saves from version 0.3.0 or 0.3.1 to 0.3.2, please use the dresser to change outfits at least once to avoid a crash. You can change to a different outfit then back to your desired outfit then save to fix the issue.
as a side note, while you're in your dresser (in 3.2) you may find an outfit that hasn't been fully implemented yet (flannel and skinny jeans). It's a neat preview of future fashion, but wearing it in certain scenes will crash your game, so be careful.
I'm doing some research to see if there is anything I can do to make Thread run on JOI Play. Alternatively, you could try the web version. It works on mobile.
I'd be glad to help. It seems you've run into a bug. Are you playing in the web browser or did you download the game? Can you send me a screenshot of where you are stuck?
This is definitely a bug. You should not be able to leave Luc's dorm on Saturday Night. Did you do the part where you go back to the river with just Sarah?
There should be a fight at the end of that scene, then you get sent back to Luc's dorm. From there you are supposed to sleep. Are you able to interact with the bed instead of leaving? Also, did you start this game on the current version (0.2.2A) Or did you load a save from an earlier version?
This game is still very early in development but is so promising. It does stuff with RPGMaker that most games wouldn't bother to deal with. The combat is actually fun (rare) and you have a great deal of autonomy with how you approach your days.
Current Linux version has bugs though, if you are on Linux and it does not launch for you then update your node.js. Hopefully RPG Maker can fix this three year old bug.

Will there be an Android version?

I want to give Luc a shadow crystal, for the funnies of course.
Well, I desire more and possible a more variety
I like it but if possible i want a major number of outfit (and not the game dont show all you choose)
what would you call a major number of outfits? more than 6?
This game is really good! I like the tf games references, I've played them all, lol.
Thanks for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed the game so far :D
fighting the mage after the skinsnatchers is ungodly unfair.
I'm not given the choice to hold off to properly prepare, soft locking me.
I'm glad we were able to get through this on the Discord. Thanks for your patience!
Locked when interacting with Contact button in early game.
Are you playing the web version on mobile?
Web Version on Laptop. The game froze. It was in, like, the prologue during the first fight. (IIRC)
Thanks! Were uou using firefox? The web version is buggy on that browser.
I'm using Google Chrome.
If you are playing on mobile, you can two-finger tap on the screen to go back.
Love this! Glad I decided to play!

holy shit sidequests
This game is so cute and sweet. A welcome sight I love the scenes with people as you build friendships and can't wait to see more
Thank you so much for the kind words. I'm so glad you enjoyed it :D
Curious... Is it just me, or did I indeed notice reference to re:Dreamer at a few points through all this gameplay?
There may be a couple references in there ;)
Nice! I love the game you're making, by the way, and I am eagerly (but patiently) awaiting more.
Thanks for the kind words. I'm very glad you enjoyed it!

I can neither confirm nor deny ;)
yoo, Did I see a reference to a ZoeStorm Story in the new content update?
You did! You can blame me for recommending it to Rewind >:3

Art for the rest of the outfits is in the works!

ah! Okay, got it! Yeah, the flannel is bugged, unfortunately. Thanks for the detailed report, I appreciate it!
Looks interesting - I see only notes about more art in the planned features, so does that mean the main story is finished?
Nope, the main story is in active development.
Very fun game with enjoyable writing.
Lovely

I tried to play with joiplay but it gives error any way to fix this?
What is the error message you are getting? I might be able to assist. Alternatively, I've heard that the game runs on Maldives (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.miririt.maldivesplayer&hl=en-U...)
I enabled PisxiJS v5 setting it seems to fix some errors that appear, I really don't know.
With PixiJS v5 on:-
With PixiJS v5 off:-
I'm doing some research to see if there is anything I can do to make Thread run on JOI Play. Alternatively, you could try the web version. It works on mobile.
"I really like your outfit. That dress looks good on you."
"Really? Thanks! My friend actually helped me with it"
"[What the fuck am I saying]"
this game's peak.
That whole scene is such a recently-cracked-egg moment. I love it. Reminds me of one of my few happy high school memories.
im stuck in the locker room and i dont know how to get out help TwT
I'd be glad to help. It seems you've run into a bug. Are you playing in the web browser or did you download the game? Can you send me a screenshot of where you are stuck?

Very interesting SRPG game in RPG Maker.
Current Linux version has bugs though, if you are on Linux and it does not launch for you then update your node.js. Hopefully RPG Maker can fix this three year old bug.
