Hey, I'm having a problem. The game crashes when I enter my character name, it also crashes when I save.
I've played this game before and finished the episode 1, 2 and 3part one, deleted it afterwards to have more storage. It works fine that time, a few lags during scenes but no crashes.
Is there any device requirements that I should know? I really like this game, the story, the characters, and animations. I felt bad deleting the game last time, and I really want to see the continuation of the story.
I'm sorry you are having problems. I don't know why but some devices have a trouble running it. You could always try joiplay plug-in for Android. I've never used it but I heard you can play PC version of renpy games on Android with it. I'm not sure how good it works though. In the meantime, I'm going to try to see why some devices have trouble on Android and I'm also going to update renpy for the next version. Maybe that might help. Sorry you're having trouble.
I love this game. Can't wait for episodes 5. This is truly an amazing well written and masterfully done peice of art. I've raved about this game all the time.
If you are like me, downloading off Mega just doesn't work. Try to find a source that hosts on Anonfiles, like I did. No BS. [As always, be careful about malware.]
Thank you for this comment. I was about to just wait for chapter five to come out since i was having problems with extracting the files from Mega. I tried Anonfiles but i didn't really know what to do lol, so i just found a compressed version and it worked.
[Forgot something important: the sex scenes in this game are among the best, likely the best unless I am forgetting something, I have ever seen. And I have played porn/hentai games since the 90s. Nothing too wild, but sensual as fuck (maybe a bad analogy). Funny how I forgot to mention this initially.]
Damn. What a game. At first I thought Krystal looked a little too Barbie-like, but I thought, what the hell, maybe fucking Barbie could be one of those one-off fetishes. But the characters and the story got their hooks in me fast, and Krystal is one of my favorite characters now, in any game. The heavyweights of character development are Darci and Jenny though. Hell, I like all the girls and older women, even Cindy. So much heart. Just to seal the deal, the MC is unobtrusive and there are many haha-funny moments.
And the game feels so polished. The animation. The facial expressions. The music. The sound effect. The moaning. The transitions. I can believe one person made this, but that person poured a lot of their life into this.
Anyway. I supported with $10 for now. I wanted to support with $20 but I am waiting to see if Jestur is able to continue working on this game. If so, I am thinking of going on Patreon, even though I have always considered myself too blue-collar to be a patron of the arts. If not, I'll come back with that other $10.
This game made me think maybe Stein's Gate is a good anime. I didn't even like Stein's Gate! I found it a little pretentious. As crazy as the premises of this game are, it feels down to earth.
There's a few good rivals for the animations, images, story, and vibe. But this one has it's own unique thing going for it.
Caribdis' games on the list as well as Being a DIK (some good, some bad but amazing story/game), Runey's Harem Hotel had some pretty good animations but the girls' story progressions are pretty damn good and there are A LOT of activities, and I'm a pretty big fan of City of Broken Dreamers too. (just a list for anyone looking for a few well known VNs to try)
That out of the way, Ripples has it's own appeal. I legit laughed during quite a few scenes because they were genuinely funny, the friendship and sexual discovery with Darci is somewhat of a believable plot too. Who hasn't had a best friend in HS/college of the opposite sex that you kissed or fooled around with a little?
Jestur had some surgery done on their sinuses and has had a rough recovery, that's why work stopped for a bit. Here is their most recent update as of the beginning of the week for anyone who doesn't know:
"I hope you are all doing well. It's been a minute.
I just wanted to let you know I am getting back to work now. I took a longer than expected break from my surgery and I wanted to get back to work sooner but I was still having problems after my surgery and needed more time. I'm still having headaches and lack of energy and some other symptoms (which I'm not even sure are related to my sinuses or not) but I am going to slowly start working on Ripples now. I'm not going to go into too much detail about my health because I'm sure you guys are sick of hearing about it. I'm going to start easy this week and not do as many hours as I normally would and see how that goes.
Before my surgery, I already had some work done so I have a good head start, but I will go more into detail about the update and show some previews next time. I am going to make this short and sweet and end it here, but if you have any questions, hit me up on the discord server and I will get back to you when I get the chance.
Before you reminded me, I completely neglected that City of Broken Dreamers might on on itch.io. I have been keeping an eye on it on Steam for a while but haven't dived in. Finally a chance to try the game first! Thank you.
Your list is great. Harem Hotel is on my must-play list. Being a DIK is on my must-buy list. And Caribdis' Once in a Lifetime was my top favorite before Ripples; I haven't decided if any character in Ripples surpasses Lauren and Judie for me.
Anyway I am going to download City and check out Patreon again. Thanks again!
Another thing that struck me about Ripples is how much nuance Jestur put into the game. On my third time watching the exchange between Brad and Lizzie where he was hitting on her (because I find the exchange sweet), I finally noticed that Lizzie looks at MC during a line. Just that line. It is not explained, probably never will be, but it made my heart skip. And when Krystal was doing her little Netflix chant on her first date, such a small thing, but it immediately changed her from just a hoe to be fucked (sorry about my language) to a sweet fun character for me.
Jestur is making characters I'd like to date more than characters I'd like to have sex with. That's what pulls me into the game. That and I am waiting to see if there will be this big plot twist that surpasses every taboo I have seen in a game.
But I really hated that moment with Skylar. Not hated as "it was poorly made", it's juts that it kinda hurt to see such a nice relation betwen the MC and her, how you could choose to maybe ruin the relationship with Jessica just to be with her and as soon as the mom says "stay away from him" she doesn't even wants to search for a reason, nope, she just go away. But is still realy well made, the last update shows that something happened betwen the MC and Skylar's mom, so it's a well developed plot and it makes you wanna keep on playing just to figure out what the hell is going on.
I just finished this and man, I can't wait for episode 5! I looooove Scarlett man, are there any future scenes with her? idk why but red heads really turn me on very much. Are there any games like this?
Does anyone have a saved file for Episode 3 Part 2? I've finished that version some months ago and now I want to continue with Episode 4, but I lost my saved file.
Bruh my android 9 beaten my new android 11, my android 9 phone runs the game like no problem and then android 11 just runs the game and instantly closes xD
Sharing a list of other games here would be disrespectful to Jestur. It would basically be promoting his competitors content on his page. Would you want your competition getting free advertising on your page?
Great, awesome, interesting and very exciting game! II can't wait to continue!! There are so many questions, the answers to which I want to know so bad! :) Besides: 1. Tell me, what's the joke with Darci about holding hands being very depraved? In my country, it seems to be legal, at least I think so :) 2. When I saw a small poster "Once in a lifetime" in a frame in one of the houses, I smiled. But when I saw Judie in the mobile store... it was a nice surprise! :) Thank you so much for the hard, but such a great job!
If I'm up to date on internet humor, the joke about holding hands being depraved/inappropriate (particularly when compared to actual sex) is that it is too intimate. Like, 'hand holding comes after marriage' or 'don't hold hands without protection, wear gloves' kinds of jokes.
sorry if this doesn't make sense, it's late and I'm tired :3
it's one of those jokes i believe came from anime(?) where in hand holding is considered "ecchi" at some point. the guy above already explained it but i wanna add something i know. :3
"Is it Wrong to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?" maybe? I wasn't really paying attention, but there's a lot of stuff for that anime in the game and I thought I remembered seeing one of the main characters on the TV in the background. I might be wrong.
So, is Jessica and Tiffany supposed to be related to the MC or something? I mean why would Jessica be worried about feelings for her roommate and why would Tiffany be mad about it?
The way I understand it is that MC's dad was either dating or married to Tiffany when he died. She's not his bio mom because she died when he was young. Regardless, since they're his step family they all see it as wrong even though technically they're not step family anymore since the dad died. But Tiffany took MC in because he had nowhere else to go. My guess is Jestur just didn't want to use the cliche of step mom/sister.
this VN is heavily inspired on the TV show dark i had a suspicion but during one of the scenes where MC has to lie he's from Winden i knew for certain its the town the series dark is set in (because of this i already have a good idea where this story is going to go and i hope it will go that way cause it'll blow a lot of people their mind haha)
Not as of yet. Just finished all content that's out and the closest to anal is a couple analingus scenes, but it seems like there's still a lot of story left to tell at this point, so who knows what will be in future episodes?
There is a problem on andriod to where I can't get past the name screen i put my name in and it keeps my keyboard up and I press the enter and it only adds a space and i click but my keyboard pops back up
I love the comedy of this game. Also the girls are hot af. The story is really great, I'm into physics and I actually learned more here specially the theory of time travel. Waiting for Episode 5.❤️

Playing on Android btw

For me it will only get worse. My device does not run games with Ren'Py 7.4.x.
On Episode 4 what was the background song called with the MC and Scarlett sitting on the edge the lake?
I love this game. Can't wait for episodes 5. This is truly an amazing well written and masterfully done peice of art. I've raved about this game all the time.

Awesome game, everything about it it's 10/10.
Possible spoiler alert:

Great game, I'll be waiting for the next update.
Great game, forgot if I played it on pc or android, but had great character development and scenes. 5/5 like where the story is heading.
Is this game still being worked on? It's a amazing story and great characters.
Game is currently on a break as the dev just had surgery
ok thanks hope they're doing good
this needs to be on steam
I don't even enjoy time travel stories but the characters in this game are just incredible.
hope the game is still being worked on as it seems the last time the dev gave an update was back in February
What program do you use to make the renders? Is it HS/HS2?
looks like HS1 to me
I just finished this and man, I can't wait for episode 5! I looooove Scarlett man, are there any future scenes with her? idk why but red heads really turn me on very much. Are there any games like this?
Anybody here knows how to fix the "forbidden" thing on Android dl?
did someone know song on Cindy fuck face scene?
Does anyone have a saved file for Episode 3 Part 2? I've finished that version some months ago and now I want to continue with Episode 4, but I lost my saved file.
How to stop it from crashing on Android devices?
Game crashes at the start of the game.
you need a really good phone for android version, if youre on pc make sure you dont have anything else running and you use winzip to extract it
Bruh my android 9 beaten my new android 11, my android 9 phone runs the game like no problem and then android 11 just runs the game and instantly closes xD
Is that Cindy Option "take control" is bugs ? or coming soon content. cuz i cant pick that option
(sry if my english suck)
No, you have to pick that you don't like mint to unlock it.
When will episode 5 be released?
And can somebody suggest me games like this with many hot girls
Ik a lot of similar ones, its a lot tho, you can add me on discord, Sorata#8070 and I can send a screenshot of my folder if you want
Can u share some of it here?
Sharing a list of other games here would be disrespectful to Jestur. It would basically be promoting his competitors content on his page. Would you want your competition getting free advertising on your page?
Hi I friend requested you on discord. My username is TOTALLYNOTSUSSY :p
Great, awesome, interesting and very exciting game! II can't wait to continue!! There are so many questions, the answers to which I want to know so bad! :)

Does anyone know the name of the anime the MC watched with Jessica? Looking for something new, and that sounded good.
"Is it Wrong to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?" maybe? I wasn't really paying attention, but there's a lot of stuff for that anime in the game and I thought I remembered seeing one of the main characters on the TV in the background. I might be wrong.
Thanks
It's "The Fruit of Grisaia", if im not wrong.
Thanks, I'll check both.
Am I the only one that can't wait for MC to fuck Darci's grandma?
So, is Jessica and Tiffany supposed to be related to the MC or something? I mean why would Jessica be worried about feelings for her roommate and why would Tiffany be mad about it?
The way I understand it is that MC's dad was either dating or married to Tiffany when he died. She's not his bio mom because she died when he was young.

But Tiffany took MC in because he had nowhere else to go. My guess is Jestur just didn't want to use the cliche of step mom/sister.
GOWDDAMM THIS GAMES IS AWESOME!! CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MORE OF IT
I can't install this on Android even the version before the current it always says "application not installed"
Not enough Space
this VN is heavily inspired on the TV show dark i had a suspicion but during one of the scenes where MC has to lie he's from Winden i knew for certain its the town the series dark is set in (because of this i already have a good idea where this story is going to go and i hope it will go that way cause it'll blow a lot of people their mind haha)
I need this game to update fast to play remaining story of scenes in the game.
When will going to update this game.
Is there a way to update via itch, or only by downloading online? I used that as a workaround, but was curious.
Definitely enjoying it, great work. Hate to say it but Scarlets swimming animation is my favorite so far
any way to start from ep 4?
Not as of yet. Just finished all content that's out and the closest to anal is a couple analingus scenes, but it seems like there's still a lot of story left to tell at this point, so who knows what will be in future episodes?
Is there anyway to start at Episode 4? I lost my progress
The saves folder is in the "Game" folder, just copy and paste it into the newer version i believe is what you need to do.
There is a problem on andriod to where I can't get past the name screen i put my name in and it keeps my keyboard up and I press the enter and it only adds a space and i click but my keyboard pops back up
I love the comedy of this game. Also the girls are hot af. The story is really great, I'm into physics and I actually learned more here specially the theory of time travel. Waiting for Episode 5.❤️
