I love this game but my ep. 6 has missing stuff as there two scenes I can't get even looked up a walkthrough but it shows choices I don't even get in the game to get all the best choices which 1-5 I have all scenes.
If you have an earlier version of the game before Ep. 5, don't delete it when downloading the latest version. Some of the sex scenes are different in the current version. More tame, and I think more suitable to the story, but the earlier version is still nice to visit.
I have been a fan since before Ep. 5. Really great revision for Ep. 1-4. The toning down of sex early in the game really puts my mind at ease about the future of the story. Ep. 5 and 6, though, lack the kind of tight, energetic main narrative that 1-4 had.
Compare Scarlett's scene in 5, first the photos giving away their relationship which the MC doesn't even know yet and then the come-on, with Luna's scene in 3 where so little yet so much is convey by just Luna's facial expressions and "I left the oven on at home." I am not dissing Ep. 5. It has one of the funniest and sexiest and longest scene in the game so far. Just the main story didn't get much attention.
Cutting to 6 and I feel like I am told a lot and nothing at the same time. Riley gives a deep dive on her history but I somehow feel like it's all either known or expected or not that important, maybe because some of her story was already given away earlier outside of MC's presence. You spend a good while talking to Lizzie, one of the coolest girls since Ep. 1 but again, despite some obvious hints, the MC doesn't ask the most important questions. And again, I am not dissing Ep. 6. It has likely the best date scene I have seen in any game. I am just hungry for some tight main narrative that I am not getting.
The sex scenes may also be getting too long. Skylar's date, for example. It's completely realistic to go at it again in her bedroom, but is it really necessary to have two full blown sex scenes back to back? Ripples is special because it isn't really a porn. I don't know if this is a compliment for everyone, but this game isn't great masturbation material. It's more of a character-driven visual novel with explicit sex, kind of like Game of Thrones in terms of where sex fits into the game. Once you have too much sex, it becomes emotionally draining. The whole time with Alyssa in Ep. 5, I was being nice to a nice girl (I don't want to be a jackass) and crossing my fingers while mutter, "Please don't have sex. Please don't have sex."
There are some really high quality material in Ep. 5 and 6, but I feel like they've decoupled a bit from the overarching story and the game risks becoming disjointed, like a theme park without a theme.
one of the best games I've ever played, keep up the great work man!
just one thing, how do you find the hidden render in episode 3 in Krystal's room? the one with the hint of there being a hotdog, but I swear to god I can't find anything can someone please help?
the hint specifically says "is that a hotdog on the nightstand? I'm sure that would be gone if daphne was there. daphne loves hotdogs!" also having trouble with the hidden render in Darci's room and the hint only says "Bruce lee", I swear I have scanned the entire scene of both of them and have found nothing, any help would be much appreciated!
It's exactly like the hint says. It really is a hotdog on the nightstand. It shows up before sex, so easier to pick out without the distractions. The "Bruce Lee" one is a little trickier. Darce has something about Bruce Lee in her room. She talks about it too, but I think in a different scene. In the scene where you are looking for the hidden render, focus on Bruce Lee, try to find something out of place. This one is actually one of the more clever ones. Again, not during sexual activity.
thank you so much! just found them and I've got say they seemed really easy to find I have no idea how I missed them in the first place. I think my tired brain just couldn't focus so thank you very much for the help!
Can you remake the first four episodes after the game is finished, like the choices? During theese episodes it just feels like your choices always have the same outcome. But the later episodes do it great.
Divergent paths might cause the quality of the main narrative to suffer due to dilution of resources. As the creator's first, mainly one-person project, focusing on one cohesive story might be best.
Bro, this game is crazy, the animations are incredible, the character designs are great and the touch of humor it has makes it the best game of this style by far. My congratulations and much encouragement with the development of chapter 7!
May we please put the android file back to apk it was so much easier and I read the instructions and did everything for the zip thing and it didn't load any of the images or anything the screen was blank
Two hints: 1. It is in your second visit to Cindy's office after finding the restricted area in the power plant basement. 2. It's not a dick-shaped item (like I first thought, based on the word "Frank"). There is actually another Frank related to Donnie.
She stirs up complicated feelings in me. Before Ep. 4 and especially before the partial rewrite of 1-4 with the release of 5, she was one of my favorite. Then I met Luna and I liked Luna more. I am prejudiced in favor of the '99 generation except Krystal and Daphane. Then Skylar comes back in 6 with kick-ass tats, a darker and more mature attitude from a mysterious and likely harsh experience, and goes on probably the best dating scene I have seen in a porn game. I still have complicated feelings toward her, but I wouldn't have her any other way. I do feel like she is emotionally displacing too many other girls from their roles: Krystal as "my girl," Daphane as the best friend with benefit I have seen in a game, Darci as the blossoming best friend. Skylar is pushing to be the "one," and I don't know if I want that.
A pornographic game must have soft moans or soft gasps.
I hope you can enter the top five of the butter ranking after the 0.7 update, come on! You will succeed. I think your game has the potential to become an excellent work.
The CG capture of dynamic images must have the effect of horizontal rotation or stretching of the lens, combined with moans. (Compared to the silent dynamic CG with a fixed lens angle, it is a dimensionality reduction strike)
Promise us to further utilize the camera in capturing the CG paragraphs of the dynamic image. The rotating or stretching shots in pornographic dynamic images CG showcase the female character's body shape, chest sway effects, and hip sway effects, all of which are very profound and excellent.
Hey Jestur, love the game so far, great stuff! I’ve played through episodes 1-5 all the way to the part where Skylar comes back on version 0.5.0 public lite pc. I downloaded version 0.6.0 now and copied my saves from 0.5.0 to 0.6.0, it just keeps saying to be continued… Do I have to start all over from the beginning on 0.6.0 rather than pick up where I left off???
Alright so I followed the instructions, Installed apk, opened, allowed access, closed game. copied the one file, did not have a "game directory" file. So i made one and placed the file there. no images are found.
Hi, I've tryed to follow the install instructions and haven't managed to get anywhere. I'm woundering if there's a way that I could show you my screen and have you talk me through?
i have a question about the choices that appear on walktroughs on the internet and how they differ from the choices that appear on the public version of the game. Is there a difference on the early access/patreon version from the public access version? if not, how come i'm choosing the same choices that appear on one of my saves as the walktrough and it doesn't show all the same choices? Here is a link for reference of the choices https://www.mejoress.com/en/ripples-walkthrough-guide/
Why do you have to be such a bitch and change the way we can download it for Androids! Now i cant even play the fucking game because you want us to do all this shit that is supposed to be done through the pc version for Androids, so fuck you, you just lost a paying customer.
The game is too big for Android now. It's either separating the installation and the media, or dropping support for Android altogether. I wouldn't change things for no reason.
Has to be one of the BEST VN I have ever played, the story, plot, characters were terrific! Would love to play the next episode! (Also my favorite character was Skylar, best character overall
can you not get all the wallpapers on a single save? spoiler below..kinda
two are based around the photoshoot at the lingerie store. one wallpaper is the mean girl if you give her the red outfit, and the other is if you give the red outfit to the blonde, but the wallpaper is her in the blue..
"Wear the grudge like a crown," +1, nice reference if it was intended.
*edit - Daniel Carey, OK, now I know I was correct. Also, wasn't so sure about this one when I started but it really is great. Thank you, it is really well done.
I've never really felt attached or too immersed in a VN before, especially if its 18+, but this game proves otherwise, the characters feel very unique and fleshed out, the story and lore are extremely interesting and deep, I cannot wait to see where it goes, I don't really like time travel in games or movies but this game pulled it off VERY well, and I'm like 90% sure I'm in love with Skylar now, i don't even care for the porn in the game anymore i just wanna see where the story goes, i cant wait for the continuation.
Haven't done a replay since picked up game at 5 and 6 was announced before I finished, so only one play through. Daphne in cat suit is bottom middle,and won't appear on "best" play through, but think that is page 5.
I really love the game deep level of focus on history detail, this is rare, very rare, and makes it stand out in compare to most games.
Just wish like a bunch other games found on itch and other sites that it had the 'x32' exe version... every other game it feels this version is less resource-hungry... not sure if the quality of the game in overall is the reason why its not possible...
Never commented on any game but your's I need to do it. Man this game just absorbed me into it, couldn't rest until I played it all, this one is probably the game with the most real relationships I've seen só far from here, the "main girl" and mc relationship is pretty cute and very very relatable (in some points ) like I've seen some situations and conversation's that if you alr had a childhood friend that you had a crush you can't truly relate
Would pay if I could bc your work is truly a masterpiece, and you work very hard as it seems, dropped the chapter 6 not long after dropping the chapter 5, get some rest and be healthy
the .exe file in version 6 to start the application isnt working, I tried copying the files in version 6 to version 5 since the .exe in version 5 is working and it works with the version 6, is this fine though?
Episode 6 was about jumping from one girl to the next and little / nothing to do with the main story. I found that to be frustrating. The best AVN's have adult scenes that complement the story, not be the main focus. I hope that changes in Episode 7.
Episodes 1-5 had a good balance because it kept the main story in focus and moving forward. While Episode 6 lost its way, the game isn't unsalvageable. Episode 7 will be telling as to whether it becomes a meh porn game or whether it goes the story-first route and gets back on the right path.
The dev was up front about that, as I recall, at least with respect to the AVNs with cameos in this one. 6 had more set-up than reveal, but just because Riley tells you nothing and Shelby's dad reveals nothing doesn't mean nothing was put in place. As an old guy, the presentation methods can be a little jarring to me, too, but that does not make them bad, it makes me old. Roll with the story as it is told, and enjoy.
My issue with 6 is that it didn't have much in the way of set-up and even less in reveal. 6 was just a series of porn scenes with not much else. It's akin to fan service. I was rolling with the story up until 6, but 6 had no story to enjoy. Episodes 1-5 were good. 6 was a step in the wrong direction.
In a game scripted months in advance, the complaint is that based on size, this chapter wasn't paced in serial format? Not sure about that as a critique, as it is only that noticeable because of the time between releases.

Downloading for android can anyone help me with a step by step on how to download for my phone and be able to access it
The steps had been writen in the instruction txt file
I love this game but my ep. 6 has missing stuff as there two scenes I can't get even looked up a walkthrough but it shows choices I don't even get in the game to get all the best choices which 1-5 I have all scenes.
What scene are you talking about?
Its the two scene after Riley sex scene and before Skylar two sex scenes.
I look up a walkthrough hoping to figure out how to get them but some of the choices they say to pick I don't get.
I'm pretty sure you can only get those if you didn't risk your relationship with Jessica a few episodes ago. You can't get everyting in one run.
Ok, I did follow a walkthrough but maybe it wasn't a good one as it just show me what to pick from 1-6 to get everything it said anyway.
If you have an earlier version of the game before Ep. 5, don't delete it when downloading the latest version. Some of the sex scenes are different in the current version. More tame, and I think more suitable to the story, but the earlier version is still nice to visit.

Ok that helichopter scene funny as hell
It wont let me create a folder with the name, keeps saying invalid character
Can you remake the first four episodes after the game is finished, like the choices? During theese episodes it just feels like your choices always have the same outcome. But the later episodes do it great.
? The only "divergent" choice so far seems to be Jessica or Skylar. The others all have a "better" option.
Divergent paths might cause the quality of the main narrative to suffer due to dilution of resources. As the creator's first, mainly one-person project, focusing on one cohesive story might be best.
I transfered the saves as requested yet I still cannot play the game (blank screen)
Can someone explain what's going on? I'm updating from the 5.0 version...
It should just work, no special actions.
„it should just work“... Really bruh?
I don't know if you read it but I just said it didn't worked...
Then you are doing something wrong. Just try to re-save in different scene and try again.
I have no idea how to install the new version 0.6.0, it was so much easier with the apk files can someone help?
I mean there is a help file inside the folder no?
It would be great to have compressed PC version.
Bro, this game is crazy, the animations are incredible, the character designs are great and the touch of humor it has makes it the best game of this style by far. My congratulations and much encouragement with the development of chapter 7!
May we please put the android file back to apk it was so much easier and I read the instructions and did everything for the zip thing and it didn't load any of the images or anything the screen was blank
You need to put the apk file into the "game" folde
How often do new episodes come (approximately), and how many episodes until this novel is complete?
It was about 7 months since the last episode and before that a year for 4 episodes. Join the discord to see update progress.
Having issues finding the render in chapter 4 in Cindy's office. Not sure exactly what im supposed to be looking for..
Two hints: 1. It is in your second visit to Cindy's office after finding the restricted area in the power plant basement. 2. It's not a dick-shaped item (like I first thought, based on the word "Frank"). There is actually another Frank related to Donnie.
can you guys tell me your thoughs about skylar
[SPOILER WARNING]

Nevermind, I just realized copying the saves was my mistake. Deleted that folder that I made and now I’m good to go!
I am madly in love with Riley. She has become a physical necessity.
Alright so I followed the instructions, Installed apk, opened, allowed access, closed game. copied the one file, did not have a "game directory" file. So i made one and placed the file there. no images are found.
Update.. maybe im misreading. Moved the file to the "game" folder. I thought directory was supposed to be apart of it.. my bad..
I agree. I rewrote the installation instructions to make it more clear. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Its all good
What is the difference between full and compress? Do compress have some event missing?
Compressed is not missing anything. It's just lower-quality videos/images/audio.
I see thanks

How am o supposed to play now? Buy a 440-600 dollar computer? Especially on my budget.
So, the complaint is "there is too much content, waaaah!" Apt screen name in the middle, anyway.
can someone tell me the difference between full and compressed based on content
Compressed looks slightly worse.
Has to be one of the BEST VN I have ever played, the story, plot, characters were terrific! Would love to play the next episode! (Also my favorite character was Skylar, best character overall
Idk why but on android whenever i load it up it boots me back to my home screen but was working yesterday any fixes?

two are based around the photoshoot at the lingerie store. one wallpaper is the mean girl if you give her the red outfit, and the other is if you give the red outfit to the blonde, but the wallpaper is her in the blue..
some are one or the other. much like the skylar vs jess choice

Will you release a compressed version for Mac of Episode 6?
Any answer or update about this?

how to fix the black screen on android i can only view the yes and no then on gameplay its black
Yes i am having the same issue someone please help
bud, maybe we made the same mistake
Did you follow the installation instructions?
i made some mistakes while reading it hehe
Tell me, is there an additional 18+ scene with Valerie in the game? According to the plot, there were supposed to be additional yoga exercises.
the .exe file in version 6 to start the application isnt working, I tried copying the files in version 6 to version 5 since the .exe in version 5 is working and it works with the version 6, is this fine though?
Don't copy any files for the PC version. Just extract the zip and play. Your saves are stored elsewhere.
Episode 6 was about jumping from one girl to the next and little / nothing to do with the main story. I found that to be frustrating. The best AVN's have adult scenes that complement the story, not be the main focus. I hope that changes in Episode 7.

Time between releases isn't my issue at all, as I do a new playthrough upon every update.
I've explained my gripe with chapter 6 twice now? Why are you asking further questions as to what my issues are with chapter 6?
