love pin. 10/10 would recommend
Thank you very much! <333 We hope to make you continue to enjoy Pin's route!
Loving the game a lot ^^
Thank you so much, we're so happy! We hope you continue to enjoy it much more <3
This game is really impressive! I don't even usually like playing games with factions in them but you've got me hooked on this (i really like that we still overlap with the others on good terms, not just on sight enemies). I've only just finished what's out for Pin and I just had to comment. ALL of these characters are really really fleshed out and endearing, i just want to hug the shit out of these demons.
I can't wait to poke around more and experience what other choices get me.
Thank you so much for making this! I'm looking forward to seeing the rest as it comes!
We are so glad you are enjoying it! One of our intentions was that despite being different factions, the story would not lose that connection. You can experience what happens from three different points of view, but at the same time they are all connected and as you say we tried to make the connections between them complex and developed and that they all depend on each other at some point.
Pin is a great choice (we are especially proud of his development and background), and the demons are certainly a peculiar group that you don't get bored with.
We hope you enjoy the other routes as much as this one. We believe that even if you are not interested in characters from all factions, it is very interesting to complete the story by playing at least once from each point of view.
Thank you so much to you, not only for giving it a chance, but for supporting us with this kind of comments. It really touches us a lot and makes us work even more motivated! Drop by here whenever you want, we'd love to read you! <3
This is my first time writing a comment on Itch, but I felt a strong urge to say how amazing this game is so far. I just stumbled across it a few days ago and I was stunned by the quality of writing and how complex the characters and story are. I went in thinking I would follow Zihel's route, but Pin won me over quickly. I love his kind heart and the optimism he manages to maintain despite the circumstances. The more recent episodes definitely had me on edge, but I'm excited to see where it goes. I would highly recommend giving this visual novel a chance!
The first comment, what a honor! <3 Thank you very much for your comment, it makes us very touched and knowing that you like it so much gives us even more strength to keep working. We're very happy to know that you have fallen for Pin's charms haha! For us, he's one of the characters we were most looking forward to show his story, as his potential to develop as a character is very big, not to mention those ‘other changes’ hehe... We were aware that this could be liked or not, but we're glad that you're still eager to know more about him, and we can promise that he still has a lot to contribute in the plot to come.
We hope you continue to enjoy Chronicles! <3
ahh it seems the app itchio didn't register the update, had to manually download it in zip file ><
upd: found out that it's working via the last build in the app! the app shows 4alike titles and one in the bottom works as 12.1 update
We are glad you were able to download it in the end. We can't control these technical things in the app, but if you have any problems when you're playing the chapter you can contact us <3 Thanks for the warning anyway!
At first, I thought I would really like Zihel but then Maske caught my eye, he's so pretty and I love the way he looks under the mask!! I really hope to see more of him <3
Zihel never go unnoticed haha But who can resist Maske? (not us xP) We can promise that there's still a lot to see of Maske, besides his face! And that many things have to happen concerning them... ;)
We're glad you're enjoying the game, and thank you very much for your comment!
Seriously!? There's more to see of Maske!!?? Now I'm so excited to see what happens next and to uncover their full story... >_<
YAYYY i played chapter 12 on the same day it got updated but couldnt write a review but omg new banner art, it looks so good!! the new items and room look cool too but im a little confused on how to find them haha and i feel so bad for Ariel :( [still obsessed with Zihel tho]
We hope you enjoyed it! And if you want to share your impressions we'll always be here (or in any social media, we stalk you in the shadows) to read and comment them, no matter when ^^ The scenes with Zihel have been particularly amusing this episode, and the drama with Ariel in contrast... We'll see if this team-up works even once, haha.
Thank you! We've been working on the new cover for a long time and we were really looking forward to renew the images. We've also been working on a trailer, another pending task, which we'll share with everyone eventually.
The items, for those of you who have been with us since before this release, can be obtained by replaying previous episodes. For example: Arael's feather, in chapter 7.3. From this episode, new items will be obtained automatically by playing the scenes where the MC gets them in the story. In this version you have a chance to get one depending on your choices.
If you have any other questions please let us know! Thank you very much for your support and feedback.
i download the game recently (yesterday)and i really like it even though i'm still on ep 4 or 5 (i didn't had time for playing)
anyway my point is i really like the game it's really interesting <3 and the characters (even the annoying ones Like Zihel 😂)
Wow, you've started strong! From now on you're going to see the dynamic of the chapters change a bit, but we hope you keep liking it! <3 Thank you so much for playing and for your comment, we love reading all of you.
We firmly believe that a character doesn't have to be a good temper to be loved or at least entertaining. We know that Zihel is loved and hated in the same way, but we've made sure that the players can return all his bad moods and put him in his place when necessary (and we have a lot of fun with it xP)!
hell yes!
Just a few more days!!! it's finishing cooking in the fires of hell itself.... We can't wait for all of you to play it <
I can’t wait to play it now I am not going to be able to sleep for days 😂😂
Que maravilloso juego. No se con cual de los tres demonios quedarme lpm
¡Nos alegra mucho que te guste! <3 Nosotras tampoco podemos elegir sólo a uno... 😳 Pero no creémos que una relación poliamorosa funcionase con ellos, correría la sangre seguro 😂
AHHHH i played everyone's route and all of them are so cute and so well written also the song choices are so good too!! But of course my heart literally belongs to Zihel, love me a grumpy and adorable guy. CANT WAIT FOR MORE LIKE PLS need more of Zihel :3
Thank you for your beautiful comment, SquishyCat. We are working on the patch where Zihel and the other demons will return. The script is quite advanced, not so much arts. We hope to be able to give good news as soon as possible.
You guys are so sweet!! Also i can tell the demons path left off as a big cliff hanger haha cant wait to see what happens!! Also there better be cute scenes with Zihel hehe
I have no patience😂😂😂 like I am already thinking about what will happen next on my mind is Maske, Hasiel, Arsiel, or Zihel what have you done to my mind 😂😂 that last ep hit me so hard, I made posters of them. until then my friend's Heart, Heart, Kiss, Kiss, Love, Love, can't wait for the next ep. 😘😘😘😘
Do you have posters? That is incredible! We promise we are working hard on the next demons update.
yes I do I am a little crazy For them😁😁🤣
hello! will there be a guide available sometimes? i think itll be useful for people who finish and want to explore the other routes!
Hello coffindolle,
At the moment we don't plan to make an exhaustive guide to Chronicles. But, we can provide you with the two key points to get back on the routes.
Finally, the best advice we can give you is to make saves at the end of the episode. In the description of the saves, both the route you are on and the selected love interest appear. This will help you know which save you want to play next.
This game looks SO COOL, but I can't play it! I'm running it on linux through the itch.io app, but even when I go through files, it just gives me a black screen when I start the .sh file... the terminal isn't giving any output for me to troubleshoot, either. Is this a known thing?
Hi JaceBeleren!
I do not have a Linux operating system and I could not assure you that it is as correct as I would like, but the first thing I would do is download the game not from the app, but from the itch website and then follow the manual installation process (unzip and run from the icon inside the folder). Please let me know if it has helped you or not so I can try to find another solution.
Hi guys does anyone know how many hours it takes to complete the game please?
Each chapter will be between 30 to 40 minutes long if you read fast, maybe even less.
The game is divided into 3 routes once you finish chapter 5, where you will choose whether to continue the story with the demons, the humans, or the angels. That is, they are not all played at the same time, and from here on it will follow this order:
Chapter 1, 2, 3 and 4 > Chapter 5 ( Route choice) > Chapter 6.1 (Demons) or 6.2 (Humans) or 6.3 (Angels). > etc.
If you play in a linear way, that means only a single route (angels, humans or demons) about 7 hours, without being exact.
But if you want to play all the complete routes, about 14. (For this option, we recommend to have a saved game at the end of chapter 5).
We hope you found it useful!
Thanksssss!!!
I would love to play your game but I do not know how to download it on my PC and I can't find it so if someone could please tell me how that would be awesome
I have made a small guide to try to guide you.
1) Look for one of the little yellow buttons that are a little higher.
2) If you do not wish to make a donation, deny it.
3) Click on your operating system and don't forget to read the installation instructions.
I hope I've helped.
and I lovee this game, maskeguys is so cute I can't wait to see them now RIGHT now, but I can wait for the time when we meet again, hearts, hearts, kiss, kiss, love, love can't wait to see you baby maske
Thanks! We're happy that you like it! And, yes they're too cute for this cruel world <3
yes I am so happy you see what I see :3
it would be so cool and interesting if the MC was carrying the seed of satan's child on the next episode, like somehow we don't have to have s*x with Demon, just carry it somehow
LMAOO
this is such a unique and interesting thought 😂🙏
👀
We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for letting us know, your comments fill our hearts and we couldn't be happier for how you have received this episode <3 From my side I can only say that our writer has a talented and wonderful mind that is still full of many more scenes and plot twists that we can't wait for you to see...
The next patch (12.1) is already in progress, and we'll go back to the demon route... And as the situation is in Raziel, we can also promise that you won't get bored with them.
But after this one, in the 12.2 chapter, yes, we will be able to see Maske again. And, oh... Believe me a lot of things are going to happen as well. 😏
OMG YES, MY BABY MASKE HERE I COME AND I HOPE A LOT OF THINGS ARE GOING TO HAPPEN YAAY, heart, heart, kiss, kiss, love, love, can't wait to see my baby's maske and zihel 😁😘😘
and how would that even be with male MC? x_x
What are you talking about?
"it would be so cool and interesting if the MC was carrying the seed of satan's child"
I think I didn't quite get the meaning of this sentence. Did you mean like being pregnant?
just the girl would be pregnant, but the boys would be satan's child or both could be his kid 😁😁
Hi, I just started this game and reached chapter 3 at this point (very intriguing so far!), but I actually wanted to ask about something before I continue since I'm unsure about how to proceed.
From the very first second he appeared, Ariel has been my favorite character - and like, BY FAR. And I don't think this will change to be fair. Now, that's all good but... well, until it isn't, I guess? You see, I don't like playing the "evil" route in games that offer the possibility, and knowing the game later branches in a demon, a human and an angel route, I'm sort of worried I'd get blocked if I'd like to do Ariel's route but not play an "evil" character.
I've been trying to look it up a bit, but obviously I want to avoid heavy spoilers so I've been having a really hard time, and at this point I just prefer to ask you how does this work? Would your "alignment" default you to one faction or the other and thus I need an "evil" character to romance any of the demons, or is the faction route an actual choice and then the MC being "good", "neutral" or "evil" would influence which ending I'll be able to get?
I know it's a very peculiar question and I'd be able to get the answer just by playing, but yeah, considering my favorite character vs favorite playstyle issue, I prefer to just know that beforehand and see if I should give up on either the character I most want to romance or the kind of MC I most want to have heh.
Thanks for your time!
Hello Konoi!!
Thank you for your comment, it was very kind. What I can tell you is that Ariel falls under the 'evil' route. Each alignment has three characters to filter with and Ariel is aligned with the demons. Still, there are several things to keep in mind, being in the demons' point of view is not necessarily being a villain, the morality bar still comes into play and the demons' arc is designed to have its own antagonists and not so much hurting others. What the MC does most of the time in his lineups is deal with the problems of their territories and not so much participate in actions. It is also the most violent lineup and that must be taken into account.
Another thing to keep in mind is that the story endings will depend to some extent on being consistent with the actions you have taken. That is, if you have chosen the demons and your decisions have tried to be 'good', you will end up having a very high morality bar, it will generate distrust in you and it will have negative consequences, given that you are a main piece in the plot.
This explanation may not have resolved your doubts too much, but we encourage you to continue with the demon route, we promise that the MC is not a particularly evil character. On the contrary. The MC is the only one who manages to bring some order to the chaos.
Thank you for your answer! And don't worry, I just needed to know if I can have a "good" character and still side with the demons! And what you're saying is that I can! I guess my phrasing made it seem as if I was scared my MC would "turn" evil if they sided with the demons, but it was more about if going on the demons' route was at all possible or not with a "good" MC. As long as it is, then what happens, happens - the consequences be damned! As long as I can go that path, I'm happy!
i love this game so much i'm going to stream it on my debut! https://www.twitch.tv/angelsilversong
Oh, we are very happy to read you, when you have a schedule don't hesitate to tag us on any of our social networks ^^
I love this game a lot just one of the only things I didn't enjoy- (Spoilers!)
was specifically in the human route you can explicitly reject Akane if you don't view her romantically but until you lock in you're still stuck with her being jealous of interactions with other characters so it feels weird.
Hello, we are glad that you enjoy the game. Although it may be a little uncomfortable, Akane's feelings are still being processed and it is quite possible that she is still working on getting over Jordan, even harboring some hopes.
I'm playing all the routes, but now in Akane's route in chapter 7.2 there is a moment in which nothing appears, it doesn't let me advance in any way, I tried checking the option to skip the unseen text, to see if it would show me something, but still nothing appears. This is the last thing I get, then the second screenshot happens and it stays like that.
Hello R4v__3n. It is a point & click that you have to collect trash from the stage to clean the environment. When you move the cursor you will see how these elements light up with a yellow outline. I hope it helped you. All the best.
I can't remember if i've left a comment on this page before, but as a general statement I love this games concept and story, its a fun play and worth the time!
Now as for the new Red light update
Spoilers ahead!:
HOW DARE THIS LIGHT
COCKBLOCKPREVENT ME FROM GETTING MY GODDAMN KISS GODDAMMIT, FIRST KEYRAN STEALS A KISS FROM ME, NOW MASKE ALMOST KISSES ME? I SWEAR RED LIGHT IS GONNA GET A GLOCK /jkgoddamit maske just let me love you cries
Thank you for your lovely words! We always love your feedback, screams and cries! hahah
Maske is a route in which we know that we suffer... But we promise that that kiss will come one day! and it will probably be the most satisfying for all the waiting. Although... there are still a few things to happen...
is this game stream safe? i love this game but it's been a bit since i've played it and need to know
Hello!!
If you mean sexual content, it currently does not contain scenes of this type, but if there are in the future we will enable a button to skip them. If you are referring to the violent content, the game contains some violent scenes, but if you have reached episode 6 or 7, you have probably already witnessed the tone of them. We are not interested in being vicious in these scenes and we consider the game to be suitable for ages 16 and up.
If you stream, don't forget to tag us on social networks or leave a link here, we will be happy to see your impressions and help you promote the streams. All the best.
Thank you for replying in a course I'll do that!
LITERALLY IN LOVE WITH THIS GAME i was blushing and giggling lol, cant wait for more!!
I LOVE MY GRUMPY BABY ZIHEL <33
Thank you so much!! <333 We are delighted to hear that you are enjoying it!
tried to download the latest update for windows but it says file wasn't available on site
Hello! We're sorry to hear you're having problems. Try to check the requirements for your pc, I copy them here to make it easier for you:
Windows
Also try to see if you have enough memory on your computer to be able to save it. We hope it helps, but if not, we will try to help you in any way we can.
Hey, I loved this game!! The art and the story are amazing - I was hocked and finished everything on the same day haha
Ofc Maskeguy has my heart <3
On the same day, wow, that's amazing! hahaha We're so glad you enjoyed it so much, and we hope you'll continue to do so in the next episodes. Thank you so much for your comment (and welcome to the club of trying to give Maske love! xD).
I don't see the prompt to continue to episode 11.2. I tried pressing "d" and loading from episode 10, but nothing worked.
We are sorry this happened to you. The only solution we found is to replay from a previous save that belongs to the human route. It may be a save from episode 10 itself (human route) but before the end of the episode poster. We hope it helps you and we are sorry for the inconvenience.
Please make sure it is the 10 of humans and not angels, because you will not be able to continue from there.
Oh! We welcome you then! <333 We're so glad to hear you're enjoying it, and we hope you'll enjoy the rest of the chapters even more! You can report any bugs like the one you mentioned about the gender choice to us by sending screenshots to our email (toxicsquad4012@gmail.com) or through our discord channel: https://discord.gg/KpbPhm5X
cant wait for more! <3
We are finishing the script for patch 11.2
Can we chose the gender of our MC in this story ?
Yes, but it doesn't have the 'they/them' option, only 'he/him' or 'she/her'. We may include 'they/them' in the future, but at the moment that's quite complicated.
Alright then, I was asking to see if I could play as a male MC.
Question, I know it says depending on which path you take you should keep your morality bar a certain way like being good on the angel and being bad on the demon path.
I was wondering, is it recommended to be more neutral on the human path or can you go with being good or bad and it won't matter that much?
Neutral is the good way, but that depends what you want.
YAAAY NEW UPDATE!! I'm such a big fan of your work guys! Man, the time truly flies! I started playing it while still being in school and now I'm graduated and going in masters degree, and I replay it from time to time. Story is really, really great, I always want more after an update xD
Gonna play rn. Thanks for the food!
Thank you Chestershire for being with us for so long. We are really happy that you like our work and enjoy playing it again.
the story is amazing but the drawing make them all look like teenagers, pin literally looks like peter pan... sorry, I do not mea to offend, but they do look too young
Pin is 19 years old, he is the youngest of all (if we don't count Arael's human age) and, despite having trained with demons for years, he does not have a very developed physique (muscles, height, etc. ). It's part of the character story. We wanted the cast to be varied, Kyeran is over 30 and you have much older demons and angels. Also, in the next patch something could happen with Pin that will make you change your mind.
I can update my game now, but when I loaded into the part I saved on 9.2, it doesn't allow me to continue onto 9.3 it only says 'save' and 'exit'.
Edit: I'm going to try and delete it and re-install it again. (didn't work)
Use your mouse wheel to go back a bit in the progress of 9.2 and then hit 'd' that will reload the files. It's not a problem with the patch, but, sometimes, renpy has this problem. Sometimes it gets 'stuck'.
I have the same problem and it did not help. still cant play 9.3
I just found out that the patch is 9.3, so you have to access it from 8.3. 9.2 will give access to 10.0
have no idea how to do that
To play the route of the angels you have to select its door at the end of chapter 5 (the same for the route of the humans and the one of the demons) for that reason we recommend you to make saves at the end of all the chapters. from that moment the routes are differentiated as x.1 (demons), x.2 (humans) and x.3 (angels)
I am not able to download the 9.3 update, it only shows up as launch game with no update button. i have windows, but i don't think there is a download file for it
we have a problem with windows icon, but the problem has solved. Sorry for the inconvenience
Thank you for the fix! I was worried that there was something wrong with my computer! :)
Don't worry. The fault was ours.
ugghhh so good,
Honestly I was all over the place with this story. So much of it I enjoyed, and then parts of it just through me off in unexpected ways. Its hard to talk about never mind ask questions without spoilering anything.
Like the title to one of the chapters (like the first one I think, or maybe the second) Im just not interested in such a person. In a later part of the story as I played through i was offered an option to follow up on a request from said person, or ignore it. I chose to ignore it as like im not into that sorta person. Is that gona be bad later?
Also one of the guys i did sort of get into (its still intro period so not really got a chance to get to know them much) turns out to be a she, or atleast look like a she. I was sort of bothered by that, but then I was intrigued, as the character them self Also seemed to be bothered by other people being confused (like I was) about their gender. Is that something that is going to be gone into. I wasnt happy about the reveal, but I honestly was interested when i realised they them self were also unhappy about everyone elses confusion about it. It made me wonder If there was a story or something to be figured out there.
Finally I only managed to meet 2 of the evil? teams side, and honestly only one of them that I had any actual involvement with (the first one, the second one i just saw in passing, and i think i missed the chance to have any interaction when i didnt go closer to the stage but stayed back and watched.) Anyways the one i did have some interaction with was a complete ass. I dont understand how they are supposed to be a route at all, as nothing in the scene with them ever gave me any reason to consider siding with them. They Are Just Mean! And after the things that unfolded later in another encounter with them, I really dont see how anyone could ever reasonably be interested in them, or want to help/side with them. Did I miss something? Usually bad guys routes are written in such a way that they have some redeeming feature that the Player can latch on to. This guy just is mean, hateful, vicous, etc.
Sorry for the super long post, honestly Im way interested in the story and characters as you can see, Or I wouldnt even bother posting. But Im also confused / conflicted with some of the characters. If nothing else I hope this feed back is meaningful / helpful to you. Thanks for sharing the story with us, and I apologize If Im being unreasonably dense about things.
Hello ahnkra, thank you for leaving us your comment, we hope that some notes that we leave below can help to make our point of view understood. Thanks for playing and for stopping by to comment. We hope to read you more in the future.
No, not at all, not being interested in a character usually results in spending less time with him or getting less general information about the story, but it doesn't penalize. The story is quite long, currently, it takes fifteen episodes of development. Some options are saved and returned to in the future, but above all, in the first episodes, everything is completely introductory.
In episode one you can meet two of six characters in a single lap. To unlock the rest of the images and character profiles you must take different options. However, in the following you will definitely meet the entire cast. Episode two (Hasiel and Zihel), episode three (Arael and Ariel), episode four (Akane and Maske), and episode five (Kyeran, Joe and Pin). From here you can choose a lineup and thus choose if you want to be 'bad' or 'good'. Your choices constantly affect your morality bar. The only thing the game asks of you to get proper endings is to be consistent with your decisions.
Hasiel is a trans man, we wanted to make that clear early in the game. His pronouns are he/him and it's an important part of his character's story, because it's something he has had (and has) to deal with on a daily basis.
Zihel is an evil character. He isn't a 'bad boy' he is a real criminal. His acts won't be justified, because they aren't justifiable. The cast was selected to generate different stories and different interactions. There are many different personalities to choose from and if you want to see the world burn alongside a villain just as corrupt as you, who are we to stop you? We don't see any fun in giving only morally positive options in a game where we consciously try to play with those aspects. History also allows us not to limit ourselves. Things would be different if, for example, we talked about the protagonists being high school students. Zihel is a corrupt, evil, age-old demon, and yet it's perfectly okay to want to be in a relationship with him. We understand that he isn't a character for everyone, but that's fine, there are eight others.
CHR is buggy, it's obvious to us, especially in the beginning (It's our first game!). But we wanted to create a different experience. We come from playing too many games that don't let you choose how evil you want to be or choose who you want to be with in a gang war. Here you can and we won't penalize you for it, we want it to be fun and stimulating and not a form of reprimand for the player who wants to make flawed choices.
Thanks so much for taking the time to reply and clarify things for me! It really helped to clear up my confusion, and gave me a much better idea on how to approach the story and characters. Im glad to hear I was right in picking up on those uncomfortable vibes from one of the characters. It means they really are going to be interesting, and I might even learn something following their route.
And also thanks for the explanation on how your evil characters work. Its actually refreshing to know that a character is exactly as they are portrayed, and not just a "bad boy" with alot of (for me) unacceptable behaviors I have to put up with to figure them out. Im perfectly ok with avoiding a route or two with that knowledge in mind, and like being spared the "responsibility" of figuring out why someone is acting the way they are and then having to figure out how to "fix" them.
I have loved this game every since i started playing for the first time- which was like- half a year ago-? eh doesn't matter. Tho i make sure to check regularly for any updates as this amazing creation just lights up my mood to a whole other level. Anyways- putting my simp energy aside.
I want to ask if there will be any possible they/them pronouns to use in the future-? I don't mean to brag about it- but i am curious about it since i sometimes tend to get a little- uncomfortable sometimes.
But overall i hope you have a nice day! Or night if what :D
Hi, TheFinestPigeon,
when we started the project it was something we didn't know how to do. Internally the gender selection is an on/off button. Although it is something that we will implement for sure in future games, currently including the they/them option would mean many hours of rewiring code and reviewing two versions (Spanish and English). We're not ruling it out in a future revamp, but currently, that option is far from real.
Review incoming later, but you should have seen my face when I opened the game and everything was initially in Spanish. Probably a blind look of panic while my brain was yelling, "noooooo, mi espanol es mallllooo."
hahahaha we would like to implement a selection screen at the beginning of the game, but it's something we never find time for. We hope it wasn't a big inconvenience. ^^U
