Do you plan on making this downloadable through itch at any point? Mega always has issues, especially when getting into the territory of larger downloads.
Besides that I just wanted to let you know how awesome the game is. some of the best renders i've seen, along with an amazing story so far. Keep up the good work dev :)
Where I can find episodes 1, 2 and 3? I see that there is new episode 4 out, but if you want to play previous episodes before 4, so you will understand whole story what's going on, what you should do?
can't wait for the next update, I'm so invested with the story and the heroines. Plus the way humor and the intimacy of this game was written rocks. I love every ounce of ripples I wish to see more, I'll be sure to send support at patreon once I got my money 😂❤️ thank you for this wonderful Visual novel
Is there a different sever than mega? I can't download it because it seems my file quota was reached. I know it's my problem, but is there a way to download this on another server?
Holy crap! These last 2 chapters were absolutely spellbinding. This is shaping up to be one of my favourite time travel stories of all time. Also am I tripping out or did I see Judie from OIAL in the cell phone shop? I get that you guys share resources and all but this felt like an actual cameo. All the thumbs up!
I'm officially shipping Jestur and Caribdis (idk if the aforementioned developers are a he, a she, a real collective they or a "modern" they, but really, who cares) as "The X-Men of Eroge VNs"
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.

The animations in this are some of the best I've ever seen, i need to see this series flourish!
I've been trying to download it for days to play. Could you put it on another server please? Tks ^^
Check my Patreon page
Or come to the discord server and talk to me if you continue to have trouble. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Thank you for the support :)
Would it be possible to add a direct download or media fire? It won't let me download it from mega.
If nothing else, at least evil google cloud!!!
Check my Patreon page
The mega link doesn't work because I don't have a paid account and it says that the google drive link isn't real.
I'm really enjoying the story of this game and I'm very thrilled to see the Episode 5 update to come out. Keep up the good work!
I know you really don't like answering this question, but any chance we could get what season and year for Ep 5 release date? Ballpark.
Hi.. Any news on Ep5??
Absolutely amazing, can't wait for Episode 5.
A very good game! I enjoyed it very much.
When approximately will it be completed and put on sale?

I hope this game in the end or final version will have a multiple endings or route...
i don't hate Harem but, i just don't like it. ✌🏼
Any plans for the episode 5 launch date?
Where I can find episodes 1, 2 and 3? I see that there is new episode 4 out, but if you want to play previous episodes before 4, so you will understand whole story what's going on, what you should do?
It's all in one, my dude.
What can i say except , Great game
I have to admit, this story is fantastic! Plot and characters are deep and sometimes hillariously funny!
Great work so far and I'm really looking forward to the next update!
So I hope (selfishly) that Jestur will be better soon!! Thousand thanks so far!

If it ok with Jestur I'll link you to my copy...
Idk why my gallery has locked scenes even tho i went through with it already.
Did you do the scene the sex way? I didn't for two scenes and they are locked for me. It probably will unlock after doing the scene the sex way.
I can't download the game cause MEGA sucks!
Is this game finished?
Not yet, but it does have a lot of content imo
Holy crap! These last 2 chapters were absolutely spellbinding. This is shaping up to be one of my favourite time travel stories of all time. Also am I tripping out or did I see Judie from OIAL in the cell phone shop? I get that you guys share resources and all but this felt like an actual cameo. All the thumbs up!
It is a Camero ☺️
Yeah, that's what Caribdis said. You guys need a group name like the XMen of eroge or something!
I'm officially shipping Jestur and Caribdis (idk if the aforementioned developers are a he, a she, a real collective they or a "modern" they, but really, who cares) as "The X-Men of Eroge VNs"
...Just YES!!!
If you know Depravity game by Dante, one of the girls looks like Kaira.
Amazing game. Looking forward to your next update!

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.

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?
