Caliross, The Shapeshifter's Legacy
A downloadable game for Windows
Caliross, The Shapeshifter's Legacy, is a fantasy-themed game, which will follow a young up-and-coming historian, as she takes her first steps outside her hometown and into the real world, to learn more about the elusive nature of her own kind, the shapeshifters. Will she become a member of the Mage guild, or of the Adventurer's guild? Will she find out more about her heritage, or will she be too busy working extra time in sleazy bars to make a living?
The game will feature several factions, each with their own goals and objectives. With your actions, you might willingly or unknowingly benefit this or that group, as the event unfolds, but the open-world nature of the game will leave it up to you if you want to get more involved with the politics of the world, or if you just want to do your own thing.
As far as the adult content goes, the game will feature fetishes such as mind control, cowgirl TF, corruption and more, depending on the paths you'll follow. It will have a female protagonist (as hinted above), and will likely have submissive themes, for the most part (I can't exclude some dominant content completely, but it wouldn't be widespread).
The development is currently being helped through Patreon, you can find the page here (it also has a link to the latest public version, near the bottom).
The game will update monthly, and the public, freely available version is usually one version behind the patreon-only one.
The changelog can be found here.
The walkthrough is available here, instead.

With how small game window is, its really a shame you cant scale game x2 or something.
If you mess with the F5 and F6 keys, you can cycle through a few options for scaling. The game is still low-res, however, so it is what it is.
My cursor doesn't work when playing? It works in other RPG Maker games
This was made with an older version of RPG Maker, which had no mouse support. In theory it could be added, but at this point there would be too many problems in doing so (meaning, it could break certain puzzles/interactions).
Hey I don't know if these people asked if they could use the art work you're using but I wanted you to know that I found a game that's using artwork from this game:
https://www.humblebundle.com/store/choose-wisely
Don't worry. This pops up every now and then, but that art is actually part of a DLC for RPG Maker. It's just that it's used so rarely, I basically had it exclusively for a while. XD
I'll probably avoid it for important characters in future games, though.
Ah okay! well i'm glad that's the case!
hi mdqp i have request when you have done main the line and the story i hope you will be able to find time to look at bug reports and refine certain paths of the game or at least giving them a satisfying ending and conclusion/integration or maybe even continuing them that said i have found a bug i think
In the king harem path to be selected as favorite according to the walkthrough requires you to have a flirt score of 3 or a relationship score of 5 and also for a certain "scene/vision" to happen you need to stay in your seat instead of giving it up instead
i ended up getting a flirt score of 5 and still didn't get picked as favorite and the vision came when i did take the seat of the other princess
lastly i like these types of open games when if you follow the paths right you can end up as the most powerful person in the end so... queen with god powers? ;-; i mean we have baal so.. and the acadamy is a mess like a complete mess very sexy but a mess
Hi there! Bug reports are always welcome, and I try to fix known issues immediately whenever possible.
You must have at least a relationship score of 5 AND a flirt score of 3, having just a flirt score of 5 alone isn't enough. I'll make sure to emphasize this in the walkthrough as well.
I am not sure if having an all-powerful Erica fits the game's themes.
What's the problem with the academy? I am willing to change stuff if there are problems, but I need you to tell me more. Suggestions are welcome so long as they don't turn upside down the path.
well for bug reports i have often seen repeating dialogue and i remember is chapter 4 i once interacted with the fast travel of the residential district and nothing happened i was straight up stuck and had to reload thankfully i had saved recently
yes i think that is necessary to tell people tho i have a question is it possible to get the required scores without sitting next to the emperor?
okay maybe not all powerful but at least pretty strong with a ton of spells or more stuff with baal
well like how carla finds about you and kira and interacts because they are in the same place the academy has none of you could end up "being" with the entire academy and no one notices aside from this eloise scenes just repeat such as the shower one it just repeats and doesn't acknowledge you have seen this once same for her bedroom scene majorie is a worse version of beatrix, Kira and Edith it seems and its bit weird we can just deny her ending and she will ask the same question over and over the fact you can only avoid or submit to her i was hoping for a bit better or aleast the good ending rather then a game over finally the bathroom scenes needed some refinement (since the "free use" thing happened i was hoping for more variation and consequences) but the only athlete you can have a relationship with is the captain who after the first game you cannot talk to and our friend just doesnt even ask questions about it
what i think should happen is more interaction with others over our actions (we could have a kira and carla situation but with way more members)
paths being more developed and refined
and finally a type of graduation if possible this should give us some stuff and have us recognized as a qualified mage (the emperor points out we have no formal qualifications when in noble goals)
to make certain things repeatable we could go for extra classes or become a part time professer/assistant ;-; your choice
lastly if you read this much thank you i just ranted alot but i have a couple of issues with the elize path and I also some suggestions for the adventurer's guild if you want to hear it (as well as a question regarding santhora)
I can probably fix the repeating dialogue, but you gotta tell me where/when you saw it, or the exact wording so I can track it down.
Did you try the fast travel again after you reloaded? Was it day or night?
It's probably not possible if you don't sit next to him. I haven't double checked how many points you have available, but there is a drastic reduction if you don't sit next to him.
In the mage guild ending, Erica looks cool (see attached image), isn't that enough? Although it seems like it was bugged and didn't show up during the ending (but it unlocked in the gallery). I just don't see how the Empress ending should have anything to do with also getting spells and becoming powerful.
Note that some of the content in the academy is still a work in progress. I'll make sure the Eloise shower scene reflects that it's not the first time afterward. I don't think Marjorie's path is going to be changed at this point: I feel she got the protagonist where she wants, which is why she doesn't see the need to push, and just lets you come to her, and she is selfish enough that it didn't make sense for me to write an ending where you can continue playing.
I can see a scene or two for the "free use" stuff being added to round things up. The romance with the captain isn't complete just yet, but it's getting there. I'll make sure to add more gossip with the cheerleaders, that's a good point. Also, note that if you don't get involved with the captain, you can actually have group sex with some of the team members (the two paths are mutually exclusive).
I honestly don't think I am going to add more "crossover" paths at this point. I liked the idea with Carla and Kira, but after you do it once, it kind of loses impact. Plus, the characters have to make sense together, which is kind of a rarity. Finally, the academy is taking too much time already, and I am trying to finish the game, so I don't think I'd go for it at this point in time.
Similar deal for a "graduation", it's beyond the scope of the game. If you do complete all the classes, however, I can at least acknowledge it, and maybe use it as another way to get a vote when trying to become a noble, so that there is an effect outside the academy. I could also have something in the mage guild, and perhaps a slide during the ending. Once you finish all classes, I was thinking about repeatable bonuses you get for still showing up, but I have been stalling because it's hard to balance properly.
Paths being more developed and refined is a bit generic. If you think a specific path needs work, you can tell me what it lacks in your opinion, and I'll consider improving it if I like the idea and it fits my schedule for the game.
Sure, you can ask/tell me more. I'd recommend you keep the messages a bit shorter, though, otherwise it's hard to respond (you can always bring up other topics you have in mind later, no need to tell me everything in one go). Some grammar would also be appreciated. It's hard to read without punctuation, especially for a non-native english speaker like me.
Firstly, for the bug reports I'm sorry I can't remember, do you have a Discord or another way of reporting because I don't come at this site's comment section often.
the reason I'm asking for another Kira and Carla situation is because, if we go around "doing" the entire academy someone is bound to notice so unless everyone in the academy in all paths is fine with that there should be some confrontation.
side note: every time I say Kira I think of Light (death note)
Charlies and Eloise pretty much, just make it longer so it has more development (Eloise practically has none) and have some random encounters with some effects on the overall academy. (kind of similar to how professor Selina's class gets a change)
tbh I would just be happy to see a more active Baal in the game, or Baal interacting with Orc timeline girl since they both have an affinity for time.
My friend, I am also a non native speaker so I apologize for my bad grammar and lack of punctuation may I ask where you hail from?
okay so from what I can see Santhora just cares about intercourse and breeding in that order and her preferred follower would be poly and bi (our protagonist) at least that's what I derived from the game
I do have a Discord, but so far I kept it for patrons-only (or rather, you must donate at least once to get the invite link). I did it like this to make it easier to moderate, although it might be too restrictive.
There are other ways to contact me, though: I have a blog, I have threads for my game on several forums (like F95 Zone, or TFGames) and you can send me reports to this email: mirko.della@tiscali.it
I get what you mean, but the academy has been dragging for a while, so I am wary of adding new content. Also, I am not sure I have any interesting ideas for a showdown between Charles and Eloise (or the others, for that matter).
Eloise is getting new scenes, so there is that, and I can think of including some events around the academy which are affected by your relationships, that makes sense.
One of the reasons why Baal is so restricted as a character is because otherwise it would warp the story and the world around him (same deal for the "orc timeline girl"). It would be different if the story revolved around time travel (or something similar) at its core, but as it is I'd rather keep him on the fringe.
No need to apologize. :) I am italian!
Yeah, that's the gist of it. Santhora is like a very romantic bimbo who happens to be a goddess, pretty much, so she brings life, love, happiness and chaos wherever she goes.
What transformations are in this game? Is cowgirl the only furry option?
Technically, there are no furry options (although there is a "bad end" where you can turn into a proper cowgirl). The protagonist's transformation are usually into animals for solving puzzles (no bestiality or anything like that)..
You can get it on with a minotaur and various other mythical creatures (mermaids, demons, succubi, tentacle monsters and so on), so there is some "adjecent" stuff. The cowgirl content is more about mental transformation/hypnosis (mind control is the most common theme by far), so the protagonist generally doesn't physically transform permanently (unless it's an ending). Some exceptions are that you can grow/shrink your breasts/butt or you can become a werewolf (but again in this case the transformation and the sexy content don't overlap, as you transform completely into a wolf).
Hello there great game but I have a few things to say
1 something that people have asked before the ability to take characters with you on adventures now I know there are a lot with various relationship statuses but I think anyone combat based if is allowed then the list becomes shorter even more so if only a lover or submissive (you dominant partner submissive) relationship is allowed to be taken
2 this is something already implemented but I feel like there should be a bit more rewards to completing a path which has a good ending.e.g. Sonya's path gives you bimbo trait (one of em anyway) which is an obvious downside but completing Arial or Carla doesn't give you much aside from some scenes (very well done scenes -;) but scenes no weapon special clothes nothing I feel like there should be more rewards or punishments depending on who you take which path with (the one's where your submissive should depend on what kind of person the other person is for rewards or debuff)
3 the H scenes list is more of a path guide which is great but also leaves H scenes unlisted such as djinn scene and the king harem scene (both of which should have more development if possible ;-;)
Finally a great game truly a game where it didn't seem like porn with story but a story with porn the fact the sexual stuff is pretty separate from the main stuff and nothing too over sexualized makes it a very well done game and the story is phenomenal
P.S path the like werewolf should have more stuff to it if possible ;-; and all paths have more effect on storyline? (I know they already have but asking even more paths to have more effect on story)
Anyway great game bye!
Hi, glad you liked the game!
1) At this point, it would be too difficult to balance for new party members. I partly regret not using at least 3 party slots but it made sense for the story, but it is what it is.
2) I figured not all paths should have a gameplay effect. I think that thematically, it makes more sense this way. However, if you have specific suggestions for specific paths, I can consider them. It's kind of hard, since I am close to finishing the game, but you never know.
3) The H-scenes list was added a few years after development started, so it's lagging behind. Finding the time to improve it without getting in the way of the game isn't easy either, which is why I haven't updated it in a while. Ideally, it would have a "miscellaneous" section divided by area, with all scenes listed.
That's what I was going for, so I am glad the game felt that way. I think that making a game with a bad story is almost pointless (since at that point, you might as well just watch regular porn XD). It's better to have some investment in what's going on, and you can't have that if the story is a complete mess.
I wish there were more effects for factions/paths in general, but I didn't manage my time properly. I probably should have cut a few paths to have the opportunity to expand others more, but this was my first open-world(ish) game, and I didn't find a great balance between the various elements. Lessons learned for the future, I guess.
About what paths effect gameplay I simply am asking for a reward in essence, if you complete a path something similar to how in GTA San Andreas if you 100 % a girlfriend you got an outfit I propose something similar like a weapon or armor or outfit
For the other faction stuff I must say that is indeed a missed opportunity (atp the werewolf path might as well be an orgy cause the H scenes are all it can do) even becoming alpha has no notable effect from what I can see
Not bringing completed paths people with you is also a huge missed opportunity but as you said at least you learned
I agree with what you said about the story
As for the H scenes list I'm pretty sure since your close to finishing the game once your done you can do the necessary updates to it
I wish you the best in this project and all your other projects
I wonder if it would be fine to have items which are already available in the game as rewards. In theory, there isn't a big problem with adding new weapons and armors (although it would take some time to consider the balance and to think about what would make sense as a gift from this or that character), clothes however are a different beast, since I only ever use them to unlock unique scenes (due to how the game was coded, it's extremely awkward to add a clothing system now), so those are probably off the table. If we were talking just about a memento/gift, that would also be pretty easy to do (obviously).
Yeah, there were plans for a werewolf quest, but it's getting cut at this point (might be something to add if I eventually revisit the game in the future). At least the alpha stuff is acknowledged in the ending, and you do get a bonus in battle from it.
The H-scenes list is missing a lot, and I am also getting ready for my next game. While you can expect me to make progress on that front, it won't be completed quickly either. It's the problem with one-man projects like this one.
Thanks! ^_^
Yeah Memento style or weaponry/armor is fine
I do hope you will revisit the werewolf path
I can understand the one man project just do things step by step complete the game then complete the game's documentation and everyone will be happy and I am excited to see how what you have learned from this project will be implemented in future projects
Your welcome ``_``
"Shadow from the past " quest the sewer gate does not open , do i have to do sth else ?
If you saw the cutscene with Cero Falk, the door should open. The entrance is in the same map as the Spider's Nest, do you have the right building?
sorry for late reply , my comp has some problem
And I am sorry for giving you incorrect information last time. I checked to make sure, and the questlog tells you what you should do before trying to enter the sewers: you must go to a library to do a research about the catacombs first. For some reason, I forgot about that (I didn't even mention it in the walkthrough, so I'll fix that as soon as possible).
On the plus side, you should be able to finish the quest without issues, now.
Is there an updated version of the h-scenes document?
As I've seen there are new h paths on changelog but that document hasn't seemed to change?
I haven't updated the document in a while. Since it's not essential, it's the first thing to suffer whenever I am too busy, so it's been lagging behind.
1)Erica had D sized breasts before sold as a slave. When I finished Slave path of Pendleton and reverted time she still had D sized breasts but character profile was showing it as A sized.
2) Is there a way to remove traits and hide text?
1) Thanks for letting me know! This will be fixed from version 0.9.14, most likely.
2) No way to remove traits other than using the debug tool (if you use the "travel sphere" among the key items, and interact with the green sphere, you can toggle traits). Note that since the game isn't built with the idea of traits being removable, if you started a path that required a trait, future scenes in that path might still read as if you have the trait.
As for hiding text, do you mean hide the dialogue box? If so, pressing CTRL toggles the visibility.
Anyone know if Gabriel has more content after the tree scene? I can't seem to talk to him at all after that🤔
There is more content, actually, but a bug prevents it from showing up. What happens when you talk to him? No text at all?
I tried following the walkthrough to retrieve the chief’s war-axe from the monster’s nest, but the worms always seemed to notice me. Any tips on how I can complete this task?
Are you running? You must walk to avoid alerting them (if you have autorun on, you must hold the button to walk). Also, there are certain sections of the floor you must avoid as they produce noise regardless (all the worms have some tiles near them that look different and must be avoided).
I thought the walkthrough mentioned this, though. The worms are blind, so you can even walk in front of them if necessary.
I'm using joiplay and I noticed that the autorun feature is enabled. Thank you.
No problem! Glad it wasn't a bug. ^_^
Is it possible to beat Tiberius in chess? I'm at the point where I've read the book to improve but can't seem to find the next resource to level up chess.
It's possible, but not in the version you are playing, I am afraid (there was a bug). The next version fixes the bug, so you'll be good once that goes public.
in "Catching The Mastermind", I'm stuck at the bit with the paintings, is there supposed to be an interaction with the paintings themselves in a certain order? Or some other interactable where I enter the highlighted letters I get from the paintings (presumably with the order in the note)?
You don't need to find the paintings in order, but you must find them all. The letters spell a word which indicates what to interact with next.
Found it, thanks a lot!
Someone has probably already asked this, but is it safe to transfer saves between old versions to new ones? Or will that break the game?
For the overwhelming majority of updates, you should be good to go using old saves. This becomes a bit less reliable if you skip several updates, but even then it's usually okay. I usually mention in the changelog if something breaks compatibility, but it's been a long time since I had a need to.
Good to know and thanks for the help!
How do you unlock the final Outlasts quest?
Assuming you got to chapter 5 and completed their previous quest (the one in the sewers), sleeping once and going to the world map should be enough to trigger it.
can anyone tell me how to catch the familiar
I've found a minor inaccuracy: while pregnant Sonya calls Erica pet even though I only spoke to her once.
Oh, you are right: that one dialogue just checks if you have Marintas's charm but it should check if you interacted with her while wearing it, instead. Thanks for letting me know!
Thats really impressive that creator work on this game so often
Thanks! Actually the last year or so has been awful (got sick almost every month one way or another), otherwise progress might have been faster still. Even this month has been a nightmare in that sense.
can anyone tell me how to get the familiar turtle after it escapes the lab and goes onto the shelf
There is a crank on one of the walls, and using it allows you to move the ladder left and right.
Am I doing something wrong, with 'the apprentice' I try to sneak in at night but get told to wait until nobody's around like if it was day?
Did you get a room at the inn? That's the only way to wait until everyone is asleep, if I remember correctly.
ah thank you, don't know how I forgot that was an option.
Cool to see that this is still being worked on. I've been holding off on finishing it for a while, because I'm waiting for it to be complete before I reach a dead end. :)
The only real criticism I have is that it's basically impossible to keep Erica's free will and brain intact without a guide. A lot of times, you get thrown into fun fetishy mind control content without any reasonable way to know it's about to happen. You decide to take up what looks like a simple farmhand job? Congrats, you're a cow now. You're doing a quest, and do the sensible thing of reporting to the local authority figure? Surprise, she's secretly been brainwashed by the bad guys and now she's brainwashed you (unlike many such instances, you don't get an option to resist with high enough willpower). You talk to the lonely-looking person in the bar? Enjoy the vampire route!
At least in most cases, it's thematic (it's not like the guys drugging and kidnapping girls are going to give you the chance to consent). There's also some exceptions where you're given ample opportunity to reverse course before the point of no return, like the Queen of Hearts turning you into a bimbo, which I like. Luckily, my compulsive saving makes this not too much of an issue, but I could see it annoying some people.
Anyways, when I went to type the above, itch.io popped up with the draft I had from last time. I was trying to report a bug, but couldn't post it because for some reason itch.io wouldn't let me attach the screenshots. You may have already fixed this by now, but just in case, here's what I was going to say more than half a year ago...
The schedule system sometimes breaks cutscenes. For example, I was doing the quest to investigate the Zanti Farm, and decided to help the farmer investigate the vandalism in his barn. The time cut to night. However, because I was scheduled to do a shift at the Queen of Hearts at night, it instead teleported me there, but it's still playing out the dialogue of the cutscene...
The main quest is complete, so if you want to, you can jump in whenever you like. Also, saves are retro compatible 99.9% of the time, so you generally won't miss anything by starting to play now (the only exception being if I add new content to old paths, which seems unlikely at this point).
On the plus side, the farm and the vampire don't instantly lock you in their respective paths, you need to go there for a while before the effects on Erica materialize (that's my way of giving a buffer to the players, as you noticed). Yeah, there is a limit to what makes sense and constantly asking players their input is also bad for the flow of the scenes, so it's a balancing act. You can however play the entire game without seeing a single sex scene, if I remember correctly, so I hope that's good enough in the end.
Thanks for the bug report! This actually never came up before, believe it or not. Since the schedule was introduced late into the game, it's likely that there are still issues out there. If you know of more scenes that do this, tell me about each one individually. Sadly, because of how the game's logic works, there isn't an easy way to find and replace all the bugged ones, so I'll have to do so manually whenever I hear about one.
Okej, wow, finished it more quickly than I expected. Chapters 5 and 6 definitely felt shorter than the ones before them.
Hrrm. Overall, I'd say probably a solid 4/5. It's sort of an inversion of The Last Sovereign, where I'm very invested in the overarching plot to the point where I found myself getting annoyed at the sex scenes ("blah blah blah tits blah blah blah pussy, tell me how the economy is doing!") - here, there are many great scenes, but they don't come together particularly well as a story. The whole is less than the sum of its parts. Still a fun experience for me, but I'd only be able to recommend it for others if they had the same kinks.
Also, it's sometimes very difficult to find things without the guide.
Btw, question - I never tried altering my body because I liked Erica the way she started, does stuff like tattoos, body piercing, and changes to butt/breast size show up in the CGs?
(btw, for any bystanders reading this, spoilers below)
Also, I kinda want to see the "bad" ending where I side with Hanatora, but I dunno if I want to put in the effort to re-find all those statues from before (I specifically avoided them and reloaded upon reading their text because they sounded sinister)... I guess the deciding question is, does she have an actual ending, or is it just a nonstandard game over, like becoming a tentacle mommy or fornicating with the men in the cursed/blessed village too many times?
Finally, minor quibble - I was told that siding with the Merchant Guild regarding the expansion of Golden Leaf would grant access to unique items, but I never saw these. Their only operation in the area seemed to be a store selling consumables.
Hi!
Yeah, chapter 5 and 6 are shorter (I might try to expand chapter 5 a bit with some short quests, but there aren't going to be many big changes).
I am glad you liked the story. The scenes are kind of their own thing, as you noticed. There are various reasons for that, but probably the biggest one is simply that this was my first open(-ish) world game, and I tried to give it variety and make as much of it accessible from the get go, so it ended up being a patchwork of various ideas.
The alterations do not show up in the CGs, only in the "default" busts that I use here and there (it wasn't part of the original budget, and afterward it would have been too expensive and awkward to try and "patch it in").
Getting all the statues doesn't lock you into a bad end (although it makes one available). You get a different branch gameplay-wise in the demon world, so if you are interested in a slightly different castle section or if you want to see Erica jill-off to her obedience to the demons, you can go for it. It's not a major ending, however (as you noted, it's more similar to a nonstandard game-over).
Smoke screens and Yellowpetals are unique to the new store, if I remember correctly. Did you want something different available? If it's not a huge overhaul, you can give me your suggestions, and maybe I'll take a second look at the stores, the items available and/or the interactions you have with each one.
The open world aspect is a good thing in some regards but a weakness in others. You pretty much have to have a guide to know who to talk to if you don't want to miss things, or else just make a point of regularly talking to every NPC in the world just in case they have something new (a task made even more tedious by the fact that in this game, some things are different based on time of day). It's difficult to do well, I don't think I've seen anyone pull it off perfectly.
The story itself is alright, but feels a bit short once you account for the fact that most of the game is spent on things entirely unrelated to the main plot. It would also have been nice if the sex scenes tied into it somehow, ie, if you brought your partner(s) with you on expeditions to temples or supported your quest in some way (or, alternatively, indirectly undermined your quest, which is what I expected from, say, the Queen of Hearts or the Zanti), but that would get very difficult with the number of potential partners the game has. Many scenes are great individually, but the characters don't get developed - some characters seem to exist basically solely for their sex scenes. It would have been nice to see the characters interact with each other more (ie, you'd think people would notice Sonya bimbofying you, and that some people would have something to say about it - an amusing example I just thought of is a hypothetical arms race between Sonya and Professor Selina as the latter continually tries to re-brain you because she wants you to do well in her class).
That reminds me, some lore thoughts I had on the Queen of Hearts, now that I've finished their content after the main quest... how does their business model work? We're explicitly NOT granting men release there, so why are they spending all their money there and not just going to the brothel, which is much cheaper? We were able to convince that one green-haired woman to join us, but given how well Sonya pays her workers (significantly more than "normal" jobs like the bakery, at least), we can't do that with EVERYONE's wives. And what do we do when we get too old for most people to find attractive (I'm assuming that eternal youth magic either doesn't exist or is economically inviable, since old people exist in this world)? Sonya presumably makes enough money to retire comfortably, but what about her bunnies? Does she care enough about them to make sure they're alright after they're no longer fit to hop for her? I never could get a good read on Sonya, if she's like Hanatora and just wants to use Erica or if she genuinely thinks that her bunnies are happier being dumb (which is probably true, based on Erica's reaction to her). (Some dialogue implies the former, but if she's really only in it for the money, there's surely a better way to exploit a famous countess than just having her work as a waitress/stripper, right?)
Ah, yeah, so the consumables were the unique items. I thought they meant unique GEAR or magical artifacts or somesuch. I definitely wouldn't have had just some extra consumables be a point in favor of the Merchant Guild had I known, though Kira's panties might have still been enough of a winning argument anyways.
The game isn't perfect, that's for sure. There could have been ways to make the open world less painful, but it also makes it feel more "narrow". For example, you could get quests only from guilds or other specific NPCs, meaning that you'd only have to check those for new quests, and/or use more the balloon to indicate the availability of new content. I don't like that approach, though, since you are just moving from marker to marker at that point. The best approach would have probably been to not use a chapter system, so that everything is available when you enter an area (barring quest chains, but those would usually give you guidance on where to go for the next part), so you don't have to search the same places every chapter, and/or open up the world a bit more gradually as well as making travel a bit more involved, so that you work your way up to the full open world. There are trade-offs no matter what, though.
While I do have some amount of interactivity between the factions you are a part of and some quests, that can quickly spiral out of control if you have characters interacting consistently. I would have had to cut the number of characters, most likely.
Sonya just likes to be the queen of her little reign, that's why she doesn't go far with manipulating a noblewoman. She just sees Erica as another one of her girls (even if Erica is definitely one of her favourites). The QoH has gambling, sexy bunnies, strippers and a VIP area (which is usually very expensive and exclusive, although you gain entrance in different ways), these are all activities which make a ton of money, and she also has all sorts of special deals for rich customers. Also, don't forget she can effectively bamboozle everyone that comes in with her powers, to an extent, while the brothel is just a "regular" brothel, at the end of the day.
Kira's panties are the top 1 unique item in the game. XD
Anyway, that's more or less my thought process behind the game as far as these elements go.
I assume you are the same person as on F95, but just in case you aren't make sure you have the RTP installed, if you want to try this game on android.
when updating do i need to start a new save?
You should be able to keep your saves for basically every release. In the rare occasion that I change something big and saves become incompatible, I mention it in the changelog (but it's really unlikely for that to happen this late into development). If I do change some old content, you might be unable to see what I added (since a lot of the scenes/events aren't repeatable), but that's about it.
i cant figure out how to escape during a certain event in the "catching the mastermind" quest :(( anything i think of doesnt work he just shows up and game over's me anyway, and this quest isnt in the walkthrough yet hhh i am in need of assistance _(´ཀ`」 ∠)_
You mean, once you get inside the torture room? The easiest thing to do would be transforming into a mouse, if I remember correctly.
thats the first thing I tried! but once i sneak past him to the hallway he comes out after me all "i fooound youu" game over
You should lock the door after you exit, to slow him down. ;)
oohhhhh, duh! thanks so much i finally got through it hh
No problem. Keep having fun! ^_^
Is there a lot or little lesbian content in the game?
I'd say there is lot of it overall, although there is also a good amount of straight scenes.
Let me clarify - I'm talking about lesbians, not futanari
He's talking about lesbians too
Futanaris are in the game, but it's a fairly minor part. There is quite a lot of "regular" lesbian content, although I didn't keep an exact count so I am not sure if there is more straight or lesbian content (I think most characters with multiple scenes are girls, though).
Trying to launch the game on JoiPlay on my phone and I keep getting this error:
script 'Global Setting Addon' line 257: Errno::EINVAL occured
Invalid argument - MyProject\
Tried with both the exe version and the 7z version and both have the same issue. I searched a fair amount but couldn't find any solutions, anyone have any idea what the problem is?
Sadly, I don't really know about how JoiPlay works. Do you have the "MyProject" folder inside the Caliross folder? Also, from what I read about JoiPlay, you should install the game on the internal storage, and not the SD to avoid issues, have you tried that?
Thank you so much for the help. Moving it to the internal storage fixed the issue.
Glad it worked! :)
JoiPlay Discord has fixes.
Hello, how can I transfer the dryad to my pocket space? Can you provide more details and steps? stuck
Let's see: I assume you have learned the pocket dimension spell from the book already. If that's the case, talking to her should bring up the option to ask "Do you want to live with me?". After that, you should go to your house in Tarkas. In your uncle's study there should be the pocket dimension book on the desk. From there, you can make a room for her (if you have the money). You should get a cutscene after that, and she moves in, if I remember correctly.
Oooh, thank you very much, I was finally able to do it
Glad this helped! ^_^
I have a problem. I can't do this in fullscreen mode.And in the old versions, the game was in full-screen mode
Have you tried the F5 and F6 keys? Those are also used to cycle through various options. Note that the game has a very low internal resolution, so it probably won't look too great in fullscreen.
ALT + ENTER is the key combination to maximize the window
I have tested many methods, but not one has worked. And this combination didn't work either
hey during the hypnosis events (anxieties, non specifically and randomly) I get this error
Unable to find file:
Graphics/Pictures/fotogramma 0 (30ms) (combine) (1).png
Sorry for the late reply (itch.io forgot to send me notifications for quite a while, it seems).
I can't reproduce this in my testing. In your case, it seems as if the game doesn't change the variable properly ("fotogramma 0" doesn't exist, because it should always start with "fotogramma 1" and go up from there) but there are no obvious reasons as to why this should happen.
Is it completely random? Do you remember any of the events that triggered the bug (in case I want to dig a bit deeper)?
any event that did the black and white spiral hypnosis. I purposely tried some multiple times and every single one at some point would give me this exact error. it most frequently occured with the anxiety cure (not sure if thats what it is called but it is the event where mc tells the hypno guy she has a problem with, for example, her sexuality) hypnosis at the cirkus. The standard hypno training gave it to me less frequent. Though, I wonder if it could be related to my drives read speed suddenly being a lot slower than it used to be?
I can't imagine the drive slowing down being the issue, but then again I also never saw this bug nor did anyone report it before. If you have access to a different PC or a different drive, maybe you can try the game there, and let me know if the problem still appears.
So I copied it over to a different drive, and it has yet to happen after trying for like 15 times. I also noticed the swirl animation to be a lot smoother. So it probably is my drive. Though it is weird since I also have games like Doom Eternal on it which do not have any problems.
Glad to know it seems to be working fine now, at least. Since the animation basically just switches quickly between the various frames and then cycles back at the end, perhaps a faulty drive can't keep up with having to access a different file every frame, and that causes timing issues or something (perhaps because of how RPG Maker handles images). I am just speculating, however. This is an old engine, and it doesn't use the GPU much (if at all), making it harder to compare with modern games.
is there a list of all the paths in the game right now?
Sorry for the late reply (itch.io forgot to send me notifications for quite a while, it seems).
In the game's folder, you can find links to the walkthrough and H-scenes list, but both are incomplete at the moment (I didn't start writing them early on, and it's hard to catch up while updating the game now).
I can't immediately figure out why, but in certain areas the BGM audio is glitched. In Tarkas, Zanark and some other places the music plays fine for ~1 second, after which it becomes extremely jittery and sounds like some static is going on....
Edit: I just wrote this comment, restarted my pc, and it seems fixed. Im a silly goose sometimes. Leaving the comment incase someone else has this issue too
Im kinda stupid and can't figure out how to beat ifri
Sorry for the late reply (itch.io forgot to send me notifications for quite a while, it seems).
There is a hint on the same floor, but basically you must do something counter-intuitive, and you must fight fire with fire.

slightly confused about cow rustling quest, is there a point where you can start it? or is it just to follow the guide on it
Sorry for the late reply (itch.io forgot to send me notifications for quite a while, it seems).
To get the cow-rustling quest, you must first progress through the cowgirl path (so, working at the Zanti farm) until they brainwash you and eventually give you the Zanti brand.
Mobile?
Sorry for the late reply (itch.io forgot to send me notifications for quite a while, it seems).
It's possible to run the game using joiplay (a program specifically meant to "translate" the game to android). Since this version of the engine can't export directly for mobile, that's the only option. If you do try to use joiplay, you'll also need to read on how to install the RTP on the phone, since this game requires it.
Hello. The game is great, but I'd like to know. Will there be a change of clothes feature added, or even something about exhibitionism fetishes?
Sorry for the late reply. Itch.io seems to forget to send me notifcations once in a while, so now I am trying to catch up.
There are some "limited scenarios" where you get to pick clothes and get a scene directly after, but it's not something for the general gameplay (without planning for it before hand, it just doesn't work, as there are too many events which reset your appearance).
Exhibtionist is a trait you can gain in the game, and there are various related events already present, so hopefully you can have fun with those.
I've found a slight bug where if you wear the Red Dress, your character is constantly stuck in a walking animation until a cutscene or something similar happens and then they're stuck in a standing animation (ie, no animation at all) as you glide around the game.
^Picture of constant walking animation.
LMK if you want the save file as well.
Thanks for letting me know, and sorry for the late reply. Every now and then, itch.io seems to forget to send me notifcations, so I missed a bunch of messages. :(
I believe this has been since fixed, but do let me know if the problem is still present.
