This story instead, is similar but not quite identical. It branches out into a different direction...

this was great I felt a little unsatisfied with the ending since following up the yang route but It was a great game
Huh a remake of this game, that's neat, since this is getting remade, I can't wait to see how this game plays compared to the orginal version that I played some few months ago.
Now my question is, would the 18+ mod that goes with this game get updated to go along with the new remake of the game? or is the 18+ mod gonna be updated once the remake of this be finished?
Refrain is good so far i think the old combat system would be better for a remake
getting a weird bug where the name defaults back to David for Refrain not the OG
I love your work so much. Great fan. Now, I'm sorry to complain but I just have difficulty at finding the sound/vo patch. It is said that this file is external to itch io. I presume it's necessary for Refrain since the PATCH IS REQUIRED FOR ANY VERSION OF THE GAME. I am making a mistake?
It's not necessary for REFRAIN :)
guess this means the original is gon
So, is this a remake or something? I see the UI is changed, but not sure what else is different
The Alt Links has the original. And I hope they keep it there.
We will :) Properly cleaned and updated but it stays.
they aren't working.
Love your work guys. Thanks for everything.
Hey! I am a big fan of your guy's work and I just wanted to ask if the refrain was out or not yet?
Part of the first demo has been released for supporters. The full first demo is scheduled to come out for everyone on December 3rd, 2024.
Hey so... I just finished JPDE last night... I must say I absolutely loved it! I had followed this game when it was in early development, back in like... 2017 or so? I joined the discord back then! It was actually kind of a part of why I even made a discord account to begin with... At some point though I wasn't very much into RWBY or this game so I kinda didn't follow it too closely, then I remember Meinos made a new Discord server, and since I wasn't very active and stuff I decided to not join the new one.
The most I had ever played before a few days ago I believe was when the ending was the cliffhanger of Jack's semblance in the match against Weiss! Not too long ago I was in a bit of a RWBY mood and decided to download this game again... and Oh my god! did it deliver! the start was mostly how I remembered it! and as such I kinda wasn't so enraptured in it... but as shit started to hit the fan... I honestly started to love it more and more... I love what you did with the characters, the whole subplots and stuff with the side characters and the new angles of some more main ones! I love the way you handled Ozpin and Glynda! But I believe one of my favourite things was Raven, It really painted her in a new light! and honestly I love it!
Anyways... I just wanted to say thanks for making such an awesome game... and kind of apologize that I wasn't there for more of it and that I just finished it now... I couldn't really help much back then and I still kinda can't... I was in highschool when I started following it and now while I finished that, I am still studying some stuff and don't yet have a job so... yeah... But honestly Meinos you outdid yourself! And I am very glad this project came through and I played the full story!
Also I went with Yang for the Dance, and I loved the whole endgame a lot! many a super saiyan reference from what I could tell! lol
What happen? I cant open cg and bgm can someone tell me to fix?
WARNING: THE GAME IS NOT CURRENTLY PLAYABLE ON ANDROID! New security features in Android have disabled the ability to move files as described in the instructions for the sound patch; your system will not give you the necessary access to your SD card. No file manager I have tested can circumnavigate this issue. Without the sound patch, the game experiences constant errors and is effectively unplayable. Unless the designer provides a release making this issue irrelevant or more functional instructions, I would advise against downloading the Android version.
Yet another reason why the Remake is needed...!
I am just used root
Or you can play used joiplay emulator
really? How?
Doing download joiplay and ren'py 8.2.3 plugin just like and add game where you extra file game
Is Refrain being actively being worked on rn? Or is it something for after Adagio is done?
The first episode of Refrain is going to come out this month, actually :)
soo episodic system with one short episode per month again? i have a dejavu suddenly. how much of core story will change tho? what % we need to expect
I clicked on the download links but I didn't get any downloads
no hay un parche para ponerlo en español?
Are their suppossed to be only Evelyne and Penny voiced? Or did I somehow mess up installing the voice over patch?
I had the exact same issue...
i know its probably a dumb question but can someone give a full list of characters who have events and requirements for unlocking them.
I can't seem to install the sound/voice patch in the game is there by any chance a future version of the game that already has the sound/voice patch is in the works?
I can't download it in windows, i checked the pop ups and its all good, I don't know what else to do, the download never starts.I can't download it in windows, i checked the pop ups and its all good, I don't know what else to do, the download never starts.

So, when I try to open the gallery I get this:

Any idea how to fix it?
fighting dose not work
:/
i almost came to the same conclusion at first but then i realized the game asks if you want fighting and i clicked no thinking it meant fighting tutorial
Im trying to download the game on android and I tried doing the sound files like you said to do them but it still gives me that error screen. Is there something im doing wrong?
i have a problem, the characters not shown and i want know if someone know the reason ( i download the game in pc)
Are you able to romance anyone in game?
Late, but yes. Quite a few characters are romancable.
The battle tutorial keeps crashing the game.
This is the message that appears is:

Any help?
You need to install the VO/Sound patch.
Anyone else's browser calling this a potential security risk and not downloading it?
Can someone give me a discord link that one's expired.
Not gonna lie have had to many issues installing on Android so I'm just gonna assume it's great and call it a day. Also instructions seem kinda vague but could just be to me.
Yeah, let's just say that the code for this is old enough now to be a problem... We're officially working on a total revamp, now.
When is the Gallery being fixed?
How soon is the new update?
Just finished the game. Its amazingly well written, great voice acting, the art is jaw-droppingly good and the music incredible.
Thank you very much! ^^
i got the sound/vo patch now what do i do with the rpa file
One of the links is down for Android and the one I did download had a lot of rollback pop ups
I'm trying to do the yang route, but the option doesn't show up for it at the end. I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong, as I got all of the events leading up to the one with her mom.
Sorry, I guess the game lacks enough diegetic info! You're also supposed to do Raven's route to unlock it...
Found this game before the animated series and I like the game more that the animated series so far! Though kinda wish I could hangout with the characters more like on Saturdays, but not on Saturday.
Why do many pop ups of rollback and ingnore codes.
