Loved the game. Cool art, unique story with all those drama and suspense. Huge cliff in the end of Chapter 8 tho 🤣. Looking forward for more. I absolutely simp for Ciarara, would love to see more scenes of her especially with Amy(●♡∀♡)
Love this game! But is there any possible way to get all the scenes to save to the gallery without having to replay the whole game? Also when is chapter 9 coming out im left on a cliffhanger!
So I'm having an issue, it won't download I tried both Android and Windows then I decided to spam hit the download out of frustration and I accidentally blocked downloads from Berkill4 themselves when it popped up in the middle of my screen.... Where do I go to unblock downloads?
i cant send you direct messages and i dont know if am allowed to send you links here, but if you join my discord and write me a message there, i will be able to give a direct link which you should be able to download from.
I've figured it out somehow and I got so excited I jumped straight into it, read it straight through it is a great AVN, I'm definitely hooked and with that being said I got a bone to pick with you...... WHY DID YOU HAVE TO END IT WITH THE BIGGEST CLIFF HANGER OF ALL TIME?!?!
I was so excited the (Mc) which somehow looks like an anime version of my younger self?! Which stunned me for a sec, but non-the-less we finally catch up to Noel and bam some fighting he gets in her head and black game over.. made me big sad:(
Regardless good job you've got my attention for this game and any future projects you come out with...
Definitely my second favourite AVN ever. Story is unique and the characters are well plotted. Plus this new update added the much needed UID revamp and gallery. Looking forward for the next chapter. Good work Berkili4.
I like it so far but I'm stuck in a loop where it keeps trying to get me not to fly to England, but I'm definitely not changing my mind. - Actually just found out what happens after if you don't go to England. I 100% stand by my choice. No regrets at all!!!
Done! I feel like half the games I've played could have been easily solved by having the MC take the girl and fly to England, never to return. (Edit: Just found out what happens after. No regrets at all. Little cottage in England is perfect.)
While playing through the game again to unlock all the gallery scenes, I realized there's something I've been meaning to ask. Is there any chance of Styx coming back in the game? I know Noel said she needs 10 years before she can get back into a physical form and get a Companion, but she actually seemed like a nice girl, and I was hoping to see more of her.
Love it so far just finished 8 can't wait for the next installment. It's been a great storyline with great writing. I did run into a couple errors around the time gab starts showing the map for France some scenes just at it starts and some during transitions. Other than that ran pretty smooth (android) I highly recommend people give this one a download it's well worth the time.
Downloaded and read beginning to end of chapter 8 this weekend. All I can say is this is a great story full of twists and turns, and definitely some gut wrenching moments to keep you on the edge of your seat. Overall great story worth reading. There are a few grammatical issues, but nothing that can't be overlooked. Keep up the great work!!
Early thoughts I wanted to put down, I'm early in Chapter 2 but that scene with Clara at the end of Chapter 1 sucked to watch. Poor sweet girl, I hope all goes well for her. I'm really enjoying the story and like all of the characters that are likable so far. Keep up the good work. :)
Hey man, I just wanna say, fantastic work on the story! This is one of the best avns I've played and probably one of the only few in which the story actually had me hooked. Speaking of stories, I like to write in my free time so I was wondering if you'd mind me using your power system and the overall world you built for my story. I'd feel scummy if I used your ideas for my own works without your permission so I had to ask. The characters will be completely different obviously, the only thing I'm struggling with is building out a power system and world for my story and the one you built happens to fit it perfectly.
Interesting that there are characters from the game Portal Heat, Wartribe academy and maybe 4 other games in the CH4 Congress scene. Are most characters premade and able to be implemented anywhere? plus, which games are they from, would love to try them out..
hey there, the other chapters also have cameo characters from other games. and it would be to long to list them all. you can find a list of all cameos in my discord.
Fucking gold star! Thank you for continuing to keep updating and making this amazing story. You know a story is good when I'm screaming at the screen like I'm there. (Fuck you Az just fuck you) The character growth and everything is what makes this story so good. Amazing story. Everything is believable and realistic to as much as it can be. You can really emphasize with the characters. Thank you thank you thank you.
Has it finished yet? If not, since I really don't like cliffhangers, where should I stop playing and wait for the rest to come out? Should I just wrap it up at the last chapter, or maybe pause earlier, like at Chapter 5 just as an example, for a neater ending?
Well in the middle of chapter 5, there is the end of act 1 which could be a good stopping point. The end of Chapter 8 will also be the end of act 2. So this might be a good stopping point as well.
So I just got to the Chapter 7 End, and throughout the story I came across a couple of choices, that lead to story endings, NEWLIFE and REUNION. But I've not come across any other choices that sounded like they would lead to endings. Are those the only ones? Oh, and will the gallery added with Chapter 8 automatically have the seen scenes unlocked when loading a save game, or will we have to do another playthrough from the beginning?
And also, damn you for including so many characters from other AVNs! xD I recognized a couple of them in the cafe scene, but I've played so many games after recently looking into itch.io, that I can't remember where they're from, and unexpectedly, they're not mentioned at all at the end of the last current chapter.
hello, yes up to chapter 7 these are the only non canon storyendings to far. But there are also also bad endings that you can get. And no Gallery will not automatically be unlocked. But i will share a file in my discord server that unlocks the gallery up to chapter 8.
Pregnancy is already in the game but only very little by now. But there will be more pregnancy content. Especially when there are more endings and the story moves forward. Pregnancy is a great way to illustrate the progress of a relationship
yes but how far does it go. Do they eventually give birth, does the kid grow up and can you interact with the kid or is it just "you got them pregnant at the end of the game"
He might as well put the script in a shredder and glue the strips together randomly. Machine translation is still at least a decade away from producing good, accurate translations, even with AI support.
Started and finished the game in 2 days. Incredible story, amazing animations. Would be nice if the H-scenes were voiced too. And maybe get multiple people to proofread the script, there were tons of grammar and spelling errors throughout the story. nothing major but as someone who reads a lot of books I do find them a bit jarring. But overall still an amazing game. Definitely something worth supporting.
I found the grammar mistakes and typos just as jarring, and I started a proofreading document, yesterday, to try and root them all out. I've also been told that with the upcoming release of chapter 8, the contents of chapter 1 and the latest chapter will have gone through more rigorous quality control, but I will be brutal in my assessment of that. 😁
The comfort cafe next door is updated in January, and the update speed here is very fast every month and a half. Both of you are in version 0.8 keep on cheering. Looking forward to the gallery in Chapter 10, haha 😜 I will share it to let more people know about this game and let everyone know that this game exists because the plot is really great. Although there is no modeling quality like the eternal world, the plot is very good and it deserves publicity.
It's impressive how fast your updates are. It hasn't even been 2 months since chapter 7 released. This game seriously deserves much more attention. Keep up the good work!
Berkili4 e que o Android, o seu VN em uma parte a onde o MC está fugindo do vilão, então ele vai para cima de um prédio, e nesse momento a animação fica travando e sair do jogo, e não tem como passar dessa parte, por que a todo momento fica saindo nessa parte específica, aí eu queria saber ser você fez alguma correção nessa parte
Best game by the best author. Writing, pacing, worldbuilding, premise, sexy as fuck female cast. Game is goated. Dropped other novels after playing Eternum as my first one but this game is up there with it.

Also, I feel the MC, I also fucking love Noel. She's so cute.
Well happy to hear that you like it :D

Well i like my cliffhangers :P
Oh and thanks for playing
Love this game! But is there any possible way to get all the scenes to save to the gallery without having to replay the whole game? Also when is chapter 9 coming out im left on a cliffhanger!
So first of all glad to hear that you liked it.
I am currently working on chapter 9, but i can't tell when its going to be ready yet.
So I'm having an issue, it won't download I tried both Android and Windows then I decided to spam hit the download out of frustration and I accidentally blocked downloads from Berkill4 themselves when it popped up in the middle of my screen.... Where do I go to unblock downloads?
i cant send you direct messages and i dont know if am allowed to send you links here, but if you join my discord and write me a message there, i will be able to give a direct link which you should be able to download from.

well then you need to fly to england, and accept that none canon ending.
Done! I feel like half the games I've played could have been easily solved by having the MC take the girl and fly to England, never to return. (Edit: Just found out what happens after. No regrets at all. Little cottage in England is perfect.)

Looking back at previous comments, I should've known that would be your answer. xD
One of my all time favorites
Happy to hear that and thanks for playing.
Love it so far just finished 8 can't wait for the next installment. It's been a great storyline with great writing.

hope you will like the rest of the game.
I'm sure I will, that scene just made me cry and hate Michael more and then that happened to him. lol

Glad to heart that you like the story. Heh i can't stop you creating fan ficition, so have fun.
Just downloaded chapter 8! I saw somewhere that you were going to post a link to the gallery files on discord?
yes i will once i figure out how to do it XDD
Haha, and just want to say, love the story so far. Can't wait to see what happens next!
Amazing chapter, can't wait for what you have planned for the future.
happy to hear that you liked it.

The android is ver 8 and the other is ver 9, the android is not as complete as other?
Nope same version.
Fucking gold star! Thank you for continuing to keep updating and making this amazing story. You know a story is good when I'm screaming at the screen like I'm there.

well happy to hear that you liked it.
And thank you for playing :P
do you get to have sex with claire or is she just a tease?
This was a great game when what happened to the girl i was shocked and the other is still lookin for you ugh cant wait for more
glad to hear that you liked it
Has it finished yet? If not, since I really don't like cliffhangers, where should I stop playing and wait for the rest to come out? Should I just wrap it up at the last chapter, or maybe pause earlier, like at Chapter 5 just as an example, for a neater ending?

Oh, wow. it's a total coincidence that the 1st Act ends in Chapter 5. It was just an example in my previous comment lol. Well, thank you.

So how far does the pregnancy go. Is it just end game content or is there more to it like raising a family
Pregnancy is already in the game but only very little by now. But there will be more pregnancy content. Especially when there are more endings and the story moves forward. Pregnancy is a great way to illustrate the progress of a relationship
yes but how far does it go. Do they eventually give birth, does the kid grow up and can you interact with the kid or is it just "you got them pregnant at the end of the game"
希望未来能有中文翻译
对不起，我不会说中文。
不幸的是，我没有足够的财力聘请翻译。
I'd love to help you, but I don't know much about the code. what a shame
thanks for the wonderfull game but when is chapter 8 release
You can check it here:

We need Chinese,please.I don't want to play the unofficial version anymore.
I'm sorry but I can't speak Chinese.
and unfortunately i have nowhere near the financial means to hire a translator
Maybe you could try some translation software.
He might as well put the script in a shredder and glue the strips together randomly. Machine translation is still at least a decade away from producing good, accurate translations, even with AI support.

Love this game so much. It almost perfect in every way. 10/10 would definitely recommend.
Glad to hear that you liked it. :D

Thank you, and glad to hear that you enjoyed the game.
A little secret, perhaps you will see a gallery a bit earlier then chapter 10 :P
You finished half of chapter 8 in just 37 days? That's amazing consistency
my friend chapter 8 is nearly done
That's great news. Does chapter 8 have less content than usual?
No... either same as the last chapters or maybe even a little bit more. :D
It's impressive how fast your updates are. It hasn't even been 2 months since chapter 7 released. This game seriously deserves much more attention. Keep up the good work!
i will and thank you. <3
Are you able to hide the text box on Android? I know you can change of opacity of the text box but it's still fairly dark.
Yes the text box on android is at the moment not changeable i am sorry.
harem or multiple solo Lis? pregnancy?
Yes
so we have the choice of harem or going just solo routes? good :)
One of the best VNs here! Amazing Story and Character ! Pls keep it up this way. Who miss her too ? :')
Happty to hear that you enjoyed the game. :D
Cant wait for the next chapter 🫡
God tier game. Super hyped for chapter 8.
Glad to hear that you like it.
Hi, I would like to know that that moment when the game leaves alone in the building, is it already resolved?
I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean.
And why is there a part of the game that just leaves, I can't get through, when the MC comes to the building
okay i'm sorry i still don't understand you properly, why don't you write in your native language and i'll run it through a translator
Berkili4 e que o Android, o seu VN em uma parte a onde o MC está fugindo do vilão, então ele vai para cima de um prédio, e nesse momento a animação fica travando e sair do jogo, e não tem como passar dessa parte, por que a todo momento fica saindo nessa parte específica, aí eu queria saber ser você fez alguma correção nessa parte
Se está a falar do local onde penso, então sim, isso deve ser corrigido.
Best game by the best author. Writing, pacing, worldbuilding, premise, sexy as fuck female cast. Game is goated. Dropped other novels after playing Eternum as my first one but this game is up there with it.
Edit: Noel and Clara are S tier
Thanks for playing, happy to hear that you like it :D
How do you hide the textbox on android? (Also great game btw)
Glad to hear that you like it and to be honest i don't know.
Just make the color transparent, the font is black, so it doesn't affect reading or visual effect
Your phone should be able to unpack it. just open it with your installing programm
