Dude I love this game! It's so much fun and it gives such a realistic vibe while playing, the MC is kinda badass ngl XD, he doesn't give a shit about others haha. There's just one issue, After I reached the 2nd City, I went into the Poke Mart and interacted with a Lickilicky, That crashed the game, It can be avoided by simply not talking to it yeah but I just wanted to point it out
Hi!! Thank you so much for playing the game! Glad you enjoyed it so far! <33 And thank you for reporting the crash... but the event was working fine for me all this while. It's quite difficult for me to solve something that I haven't been able to replicate on my computers/only occurs sometimes and randomly to different people on different systems, so I can only advise you to restart the game again and hope things sort themselves out. And of course, please save often! Apologies for that :(

Hello, the game's been a show of good quality so far and honestly reminiscent of a vibe of fangame I've looked for since Black Cinder.

I've just finished the Crystalline Cave segment


My main complaint is that the game could certainly benefit from more QOL adjustments to be on par with modern fangames, be it with IVS, EVs, exp,ETC though it certainly isn't an urgent complain. (And maybe some form of introduction to Crimson Society before that part, unless I've missed it)

The password is CRABOMINABLE... which has been fixed in the game guide! Thanks for asking your question, wouldn't have noticed the mistake otherwise!

Hi! Thank you so much for trying the game out! You'll get EXP Shares after you defeat the 1st gym and you'll get to craft Aprishakes (a lesser version of EV vitamins) later down the road to help with EV gaining. But yes, I totally agree that the game isn't exactly up there when it comes to QOL stuff ehehe >< As for Crimson Society, their first appearance is meant to be out of the blue, since the region has more or less moved on from them at this point. You'll get to know more about them as the game progresses!

Aaaahhh really, thank you so much for your kind words, and for playing the game till that far!!! <3333 I hope you've cleared the 4th gym puzzle by the time you see this comment, but if not, the game guide has a map of the gym without the darkness, if that'll help. Flash is usable in the area, and you can bind Rock Smash to F/F5/Tab to speed things up. Personally, I like to do the punch bags in a counter-clockwise direction, starting with the one nearest the battle girl and traveling upwards, ending at the black belt. It's more about finding the shortest path around the bags rather than getting perfect points, if you ask me!

And I'm so, so happy you enjoyed the minigames and NPCs! (The interactions between the characters are honestly one of my most favorite things to write ^^) I feel that my "humor" is kinda hit-or-miss so it's really nice to know that it resonates with someone at least haha! Triple Triad is entirely optional (so are the sidequests!), if it's not your thing, but I'm so glad you ended up loving it. ^^

I suppose the crash-zones are Route 2 and the Power Plant boss fight? Or is it the Lickilicky like what Invincible Greninja described above? My only solution is to restart the game again... usually (hopefully) it'll sort itself out. It's quite difficult for me to solve something that I haven't been able to replicate on my computers/only occurs sometimes and randomly. Apologies for that >< but I'm glad they didn't cause too many problems for you (and that you continued playing despite them! <3)
I know about the game guide however I like to play the games without any external help (unless I've tried hundreds of times to no success). that's what makes it challenging for me, not knowing what awaits you. Tho, I have used the game guide to see the encounters in each route.

Sadly, I still haven't gotten past the maze(I dont play much, got many irl things to do) but I've pretty much learned the maze. Yea, counter-clockwise is what I found the easiest too, tho I've not managed to hit 100+ points till now ,I seem to always run short on time ( skill issue ngl xD ).Thanks for the suggestions, Imma keep trying and someday I'll get past it!(I hope)

For me, the crash-zones were at route 2 and the triple triad duel at the top floor in the school. It hasn't affected me much since both are easy to be avoid.

Also, can you evolve Rockruff into it's Dusk Form ?
Technically, all Rockruff in the game regardless of ability will evolve into the Dusk Form in the evening (5:00pm to 7:59pm)... which isn't possible in v1.0 because of my oversight, and has been fixed in v1.1! Thank you for pointing it out!

The game has been updated to Version 1.1, with the following changes:
  • Fixed Rockruff evolving into Lycanroc-Dusk in the evening
  • Fixed a minor typographical error

Hi! Please make sure that you the folder you extracted contains everything shown in the below image. And make sure that you're clicking the yellow highlighted program shown in the image.

1695224963206.png

If you did all of the above and the game still doesn't open, perhaps you might want to try deleting the current folder you have and re-downloading the game again, making sure to extract everything? If any error message shows up, could you please share it so it'll be easier for me to resolve the issue? Thank you!

The folder has all of those and it still won't open, there's no error message either, it won't do anything

In that case, perhaps you might want to try following the instructions in this video or this thread? Basically, go to your Advanced System Settings -> the Settings button in the Performance section -> Data Execution Prevention ->check the "Turn on DEP for all programs except those I select" box -> add the Game.exe to the list. Hope it works!
