Hi there! To play the demo, after you have downloaded the files, you have to extract them to a folder. Then, find the .exe application with the game logo to play.
I saw the full version will be released this year but I had to play the demo, and honestly this is one of the best games I've ever played. I love the characters and their voices, and playing as Rei feels like a whole other level. The art and tone of it all dragged me in, and it really felt like I was in the game. The pace is really nice and I can't find any complaints from my time playing it. Super excited for the full release!
I'm glad you enjoyed playing it! Unfortunately, the full version will most likely be released next year, since the content of it increased. However, we do have a side game (with the same characters) coming out in a few weeks. Update about that will be tomorrow. ^^
Feel's like a really good damn story with a funny,gore and sex scenes... seems perfect to me! Also omg Aiden VA is melting my ears(and everything else). The art is amazing, the music too!! I'm really looking forward to play 1st Degree!! keep the good work guys! <3
I need more!! I just spent the rest of my afternoon playing this and not only is the soundtrack amazing (this includes the ringtones, I love Aiden's!), the story is riveting!
1. Test extraction with a different program (7zip, winrar, etc.) 2. Test on a different pc if available 3. Test redownloading the files and extracting again 4. Ensure the download isn't getting interrupted (check size of archive, if it's super small it's likely failing due to Internet connection) 5. Download the folder and drag the contents to your desktop or into another folder, or right click it and extract it to another folder 6. Check to see if your firewall is blocking one of the files
Let me know if any of these work! If none of these do, you could also look up some commands to input into the command prompt.
Right now the only way is through patreon or to order a daki cover. It is the best way for you guys since there is content we only release on patreon. We are not thinking about pre-orders right now, but we may think about it in the future! Other than that, there is a mid-development side game coming out soon that will also help with funds for the main game.
Very nice demo. The voice acting was pleasant to the ear, and I enjoyed the characters. ^^ The only thing that really bothered me tho, was how small the font on the phone was. It was a bit hard for me to read the glossary. ^^"
What a fantastic demo! I thoroughly enjoyed the story, characters and voice acting. The phone mechanic is such a cool and unique add on that really helps elevate this above other VN's, adding that extra bit of intractability. I'd happily pay whatever amount of money for such a well made and developed game.
I'm usually apprehensive with having a fully fleshed out playable character but damn Rei is done so well! A character that could come across as annoying just oozes this kind of charisma making you forget that tiny fact of him murdering people. His interactions and chemistry with the love interests are all so great and unique that I'm already struggling to decide who I'm going to romance!
I wish you guys the best of luck with the release next year and all future projects. You've definitely earned yourself a fan today. (Also the tunes are absolute bops)
Awesome! I'm really glad you enjoyed the demo and that you liked Rei! It's always a struggle to balance a strong personality so I'm glad you were able to enjoy it. Our music guy also definitely appreciates any compliments about his tunes~
I loved the gameplay and storyline but the characters kinda sucked for me along with the terrible voice acting for Rei. I also hated how Rei had to flirt with every guy like every few seconds even though I was more interested in the actual plot besides the romance plot. This game has potential but right now I'm not feeling it.
You can turn off the voices for the characters in the options I think. Also this is your standard yaoi vn... romance plays a major role here. If you're not interested in that then maybe this game just isn't for you. :P
O jogo é muito bonito e parece ter uma ótima história, mas eu gostaria muito que tivesse o idioma Português-Brasileiro (PT-BR), pois não sei entender inglês muito bem.
The game is very beautiful and seems to have a great story, but I would very much like it to have the Portuguese-Brazilian (PT-BR) language, because I do not know how to understand English very well.

No, the full game will be between $20-$25 depending on the final asset count.
Oh no...okay, thanks anyway

Show post...
The game text kinda small, it hard to read and concentrate. And I wish it had black border too cuz it even harder to read with the bright scene/BG...
Feel's like a really good damn story with a funny,gore and sex scenes... seems perfect to me! Also omg Aiden VA is melting my ears(and everything else). The art is amazing, the music too!! I'm really looking forward to play 1st Degree!! keep the good work guys! <3

Happy to hear that! I hope you'll also enjoy our side game when it's released!
I need more!!
I just spent the rest of my afternoon playing this and not only is the soundtrack amazing (this includes the ringtones, I love Aiden's!), the story is riveting!
I tried downloading the demo for Windows, and when I extracted the files, it said they're corrupted. Any solution to it?
Oh, btw, this sounds like a really interesting game. Hope everything turns out okay, I can't wait to see the full release! <3
There are a few things you could try:
1. Test extraction with a different program (7zip, winrar, etc.)
2. Test on a different pc if available
3. Test redownloading the files and extracting again
4. Ensure the download isn't getting interrupted (check size of archive, if it's super small it's likely failing due to Internet connection)
5. Download the folder and drag the contents to your desktop or into another folder, or right click it and extract it to another folder
6. Check to see if your firewall is blocking one of the files
Let me know if any of these work! If none of these do, you could also look up some commands to input into the command prompt.
is the only way to support the game right now the patreon? will there be pre-orders for those of us who found out about it after kickstarter?
Right now the only way is through patreon or to order a daki cover. It is the best way for you guys since there is content we only release on patreon. We are not thinking about pre-orders right now, but we may think about it in the future!

Full BL scenes, I can't wait for the full release!
I adore this game! Disappointed I hadn't heard about it when it was still being crowdfunded.
Really excited for the future of this game! Adore the art style.
I don't know how to play .after the character called me the game finished as I didn't even played anythin
This was just a demo. The full game is not released yet.
Would you guys ever do beta testing??
And I have never been so excited for a game before!
It was a reward during our kickstarter, but we don't plan on offering it outside of that since it was sort of like an 'early bird' reward.
I'm glad you're excited though! Please stay tuned for our upcoming side game~
when are you gonna release this game?
Very nice demo. The voice acting was pleasant to the ear, and I enjoyed the characters. ^^ The only thing that really bothered me tho, was how small the font on the phone was. It was a bit hard for me to read the glossary. ^^"
va il y avoir une traduction francaise ?
This is amazing! I can't wait for the full game <3
The demo has me hooked :) Can't wait for the full release!
I absolutly loved this demo and can't wait for more! I still can't decide who my favorite route would be!
What a fantastic demo! I thoroughly enjoyed the story, characters and voice acting. The phone mechanic is such a cool and unique add on that really helps elevate this above other VN's, adding that extra bit of intractability. I'd happily pay whatever amount of money for such a well made and developed game.

Awesome! I'm really glad you enjoyed the demo and that you liked Rei! It's always a struggle to balance a strong personality so I'm glad you were able to enjoy it. Our music guy also definitely appreciates any compliments about his tunes~
about how much do you think the full version will cost?
Around the $20-$25 range depending on final count of everything!

I also hated how Rei had to flirt with every guy like every few seconds even though I was more interested in the actual plot besides the romance plot.

You can turn off the voices for the characters in the options I think. Also this is your standard yaoi vn... romance plays a major role here. If you're not interested in that then maybe this game just isn't for you. :P
why are you playing a game tagged as romance if you aren't interested in the romance?
could you tell me the steps to download on windows?
O jogo é muito bonito e parece ter uma ótima história, mas eu gostaria muito que tivesse o idioma Português-Brasileiro (PT-BR), pois não sei entender inglês muito bem.
