As someone who plays AVN's solely for the plots this has been an interesting one so far. I am aware that these games are mostly made for satisfying yourself so it would be fair if you're raising your eyebrow reading this. Now, without spoiling anything, this has to be one of the better sandbox AVN's out there. Usually sandbox AVN's are notorious for its lengthy, drawn out, and boring "in betweens" where you need to attain an obscene amount of goals before the plot progresses and fortunately the closest thing to an "in between" is the fridge and that is super easy to get by. Now as a sandbox type AVN it held itself up on the story conflicts pretty well, it wasn't perfect because it's inevitable if you have favorite characters that you wanted to interact with a lot more (non spoiler example is a character was supposed to not talk to me because of a disagreement but when this character was involved with another character's story, they're now talking to me like normal). The main story itself is pretty interesting and important to not get diluted in the plethora of character stories and dialogues throughout the game. As for the character stories it was pretty good too but of course I have story/stories which I didn't really clicked with and that's ok because it doesn't really force anything on you. As for the romance progression, it wasn't too fast but also not slow enough. The romance dynamics were also more on the organic side, it doesn't really turn everyone to a brainwashed and glorified sex toy like many other AVN's out there and that in itself is very good for me. I have to say though, this game wouldve been an awesome regular AVN because the direction of the stories were so good (Not to say that it's a bad sandbox game, plus I might be biased because i play more regular AVN's). On the technical side, it had very few problems like start up times are slow and if you slide down your phone's notifications it'll "minimize" the app a little bit and freezes. It sometimes crashes and it wipes autosaves for some reason. My phone is not a gaming phone per say but it's not bad either, it's a Redmi note 11 6gb version. To end my comment/rating/criticism (call it whatever you like) I'd like to say some advice. I did make some mistakes that made my playthrough worse and that is to accept all dreams as soon as they pop up. The journal kept on growing and some of them prevented some interactions that I wanted to interact with but then again that was a mistake on my part because I mostly play regular AVN's. So if you want a smooth sailing experience I'd say take your time on each of the characters and gauge whether you can afford to do so. Because it's better if you connect to them as smoothly as possible rather than them changing personalities because the individual story progressions aren't synced up. And yes I did redo the story from the top to come up with this advice and it was indeed more pleasant. That's all for me and thank you for a good story and a good game zanith! Hope all goes well

Hey Amom,

Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback and all overall thoughts on your time with AHITR. Glad to hear it was a positive experience.

In regards to the dreams and the conflict of events: This is something we're aiming to fix/smoothen out eventually, so that events/interactions flow better instead of causing bottlenecks for progress.

We are looking at ways to improve the Android experience down the road, but there's only so much that can be done within the limitation of the platform and the varying devices per user.

Again, appreciate your time with the game and for the feedback!

Oh, no problem! Been pretty much giving feedback to games I've played in the past because it has been my way to say thanks to the tireless developers who stick with their project/s even when irl stuff are getting harder and harder these days.  About the story conflicts, they're really not that bad from my experience. I'm just too invested to games I play that I hyperfixate on things you won't usually pay attention to to these types of games but it is reassuring to know that you're working on that too! As for the technicalities, I understand that Android is pretty hard to deal with (as I've seen on countless other AVN's) so none of it is your guys' fault. I do have a  good PC and I did play very few AVN's there but (mainly those with no Android ports) they've been probably sitting there for months or even years because with AVN's I just really want to chill lying down. So it really just comes down to the users/players in the technical parts but then again, it's reassuring that you're also working on that too. It maybe small but I think it'll help people who don't have good phones and or computers/laptops (especially on phones that treat games like it's on desktop aka:minimizing game when you pull your notifications bar). Small note, it's pretty funny that AHITR somewhat forced me to put all attention to it because I can't even pull the notification bar without risking a crash lol, it made me focus on the game more hence; understand and digest the story better (?) I don't know it's just a schizo theory so don't take this personally lmao. (It was actually quite nice because I DND mode my phone to not get notifications lmao). Thank you again! By far the most involved dev/s, y'all are doing a great job ^^

 

I usually wait quite a long time to download a new version as I want there to be as much new content as possible.

My current save is in 07.2, so is it worth getting 07.13 now? Or should I wait a bit longer?

(+1)

Hey Ad,

There has been a bunch of content added since you last played. If you are curious, search for "Master Release" in the search bar here: https://www.patreon.com/c/zanith/posts

This will show the changelog for each release!

I usually play update to update but I understand wanting to wait a bunch and binge a lot of content.

Thanks for the info! I'll definitely get the most recent one then.

Zanith, could you please help me with my save as you've done with others? I have the same problem others have addressed, can't play through Caitlin chapter 4, when the event triggers, after going downstairs, her door is locked from the inside and the event doesn't complete.


Here's my save: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qu016k0r095uGiMmMQNA7ezWii6iYoEx/view?usp=shari...

In case it's relevant, I've been playing the 7.13 beta I downloaded through Patreon.

Thanks in advance, love the game!

Hey Blason,

Appreciate the save! I'll send you the fixed version once its been sorted, I'll reply back here with a download link!

Hello! I would like to ask two things:
What is the time period between a paid release and a free release?
About how many updates till the game finishes? I would like to finish it all in one piece. I  know it may be hard to tell, I'm mainly interested in Rae's and the main story.

(1 edit)

Hey Yeetstick!

Here is the current schedule of the game:

The Alpha build of a new version is released at the start of each month. About a week later the Beta build is released. Then after another week the Early Access version is released. Then about a month later this version goes free and public. This is the Patreon schedule, so it gets released a tiny bit later on other sites.


As for how many updates remain for AHITR, I honestly couldn't say. We are currently on 7.13 so we do have a bit to go.

Will the first full-release version be called 1.0.0?

Hey Yeet,

I believe so, but can't 100% confirm with how things can shift in development and such.

I downloaded 7.11 but my saves from 7.9 aren't there did I install it wrong? I'm on pc

Hey Carr!

This seems to be an issue that sometimes pops up with the Itch version/launcher.

You may have to manually move your saves.

These can be found in: AHITR/Game/Saves

You can drag n drop the old saves folder into the new one and you should be good to go!

(+2)

Aside from the sexual things in the game, they did a great job building the characters and their personalities. I actually like opening the game to see all of their faces, it might sound weird but bc there's no voiced acting it lets you determine how you and the others sound, also the fact that you can name your character i think puts a personal element to it. 10/10 game when it comes to character building and personalities. Can't wait for the updates, the story is too good.

(+1)

The anniversary event was so wholesome.. Who would've thought this game would bring me to tears

what anniversary event?

Hey Yeet,

There's an in-game event that only triggers within 15 days of the in-game anniversary. So on days 350-365, 715-730 etc.

How do i increase lyriel lewdness? Ive tried everything

Hey Razor,

Certain dialogue options can raise her lewdness (Try doing the dishes with her) and if you're capped, you might need to progress her story or the main story!

well my file be saved after i download the new version or i will need to play it again ?

Hey Abdo,

Saves carry over automatically to the next version! So you can resume wherever you last saved!

Thanks for answering:)

how to install in android?

Hey Dayyuum!

You'll need to grab both .rpa game file and our official Android launcher.

We have a step by step guide here!

Hope this helps!

come on my guy .... added this on steam ... make it happen

Hi Neia,

As mentioned previously, we have no plans to release AHITR on Steam.

Can i ask my i know the Code on gallery unlock ?

Hey Samuel!

The unlock code is a Patreon exclusive reward!

You can find out more here:

been wanting to ask this question for a while, but will there be any other girls added to the house?

Hey Botanic!

As of right now, there are no plans to add any more main girls to the house.

If I buy this version, do I get the newer patch if it's out?

(+1)

Hey Elo!

Yep! Purchasing the game grants you access to future versions of AHITR!

Kinda stumped on how to get the Naomi/Rae interaction

Hey Tristan,

I'd recommend playing around with Rae whenever she's upside down on the sofa and go from there. There might be some RNG involved but that's the starting point o/

cheers

If I choose the wrong choice will there be a different ending ?

Hey Etx,

As of right now, choices don't alter the story!

Oky thanks

How are you supposed to install it on Android only? Downloaded and won't open.

Hey Secret,

We have a step by step Android guide here!

https://zanithone.itch.io/a-house-in-the-rift/devlog/583030/android-installation...

Hope this helps o/

Can I update the game directly or do I have to download it all over again? Because if I have to download this all over again I might have to abandon this completely seeing as I no longer have the means to download this the first time I did

Hey ASW!

When updating to a new version here on Itch, you'll need to download the full game. (Either from here or through the Itch client/launcher). Saves do carry over automatically. 

If you've previously purchased the game, press "Download" and there should be an option at the bottom "I've already purchased" and it'll take you to the appropriate page for getting the latest version.

However, over on our Patreon we offer a "Patch" system that will take you from X version to X. For instance, here's the latest free version. You'll see the "PATCH from X". If you are using patches, you can only update High res patch for the high res game, and compressed for compressed, you can't mix and match.

https://www.patreon.com/posts/0-7-10-free-111796653?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&ut...

If however, you are several patches behind and somehow the patch system doesn't work, you're better off just grabbing a fresh, full download.

Hope this answers your question and helps out!

Damn...im shit outta luck then

Yeah so are you just screwed if you potentially missed certain H events? Cuz Im missing "Useless Mutt" and "Alchmical mishap" for Lyriel, I don't have "Pre-reveal service" somehow, and "Punk gal", "Special order", and "Milfing it up" are lost to me. 

Hey MasterFruit!

There are a few scenes that can be missed on a playthrough.

"Useless Mutt" is when you first start dipping into Lyriel's dreams where she's dreaming of being a slave.

"Alchemical Mishap" is related to an event in game that also unlocks for Cait.

"Pre-reveal Service" is when its just you and Rae in the house, when you visit her in the attic again.

"Punk-Gal" is at the very start of the game when you're chilling in the park.

"Special Order" is from the space dream and can be done at anytime.

And "MILFing It Up" is when you dream of the pool in the backyard for the first time and have a choice between Jenny and Vivian.

If you have missed these, I suggest to make a dummy save and just speed/skip through the game to those points if you wanna unlock them for your gallery. I know its not ideal but I hope these help pinpoint where to snag em!

Is there a way to unlock the alternate Jenny/Vivian choice for the gallery besides reloading a save prior to the event? That's what I did, but I'm not sure if you're saying there's a way to see both in-game that I missed around the time of the event. 

Hey Siolence,

As of right now there isn't, so you'll need to either load a save before that dream/event or make a new save and zoom back to that point.

whats the difference between lewdness and intimacy and what should i level more?

Hey Banan!

Lewdness is doing or saying/mentioning lewd stuff, but is primarily levelled through sexual activities.

Intimacy is like hanging out with the gals and doing activities with them.

Some events/quests require you to be at certain levels in each, so its best to level them whenever you can!

Am I correct in assuming if I do the 8$ thing I'll have the latest versions always unlocked going forward?  I don't want to pay for a singular version.  And this is one of the few games worth paying for personally.

Hey Svalinn!

You are correct! Purchasing the game will give you access to future versions!

Thank you kindly for the swift reply.

Heyo, I've decided to replay this game and I noticed some issues. "Eager student ch. 4" and "Manga Research Club  pt. 2" don't progress no matter what. I completed every quest available and I also saw other comments regarding these issues, I believe some new update might have messed these quests up.  I tried everything you offered in other comments, but they don't work no matter what. You have made an amazing game, just thought I should inform you on a potential issue :).

Hey Garrow!

Can you upload your save to a file sharing site (Mega, Google Drive, etc) and paste the link here?

I'll have a look into this for you o/

Heyo, hope I shared the right one, cause I have many lol. Should be day 198 morning. The Cait quest always has the door locked and the manga quest never starts as they are never in the room. I hope this helps you out.

Hey Garrow,

Thanks a bunch for the save. It does appear to be an issue, so we're looking into this and hopefully will have a fix for it soon!

Hello, I'm having the same issue as Garrow

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QYYfewQsFHjsIm99D-scyJgAUkNnZqdy/view?usp=drive...

Hey Ara,

Can you make the folder public so I can download it? Will have the fixed save with you as soon as I can!

Hey Garrow!

Apologies for the delay with this.

Here's a save with the event sorted.

https://mega.nz/file/TEd2xQCJ#yR6zb30aH2WeYzDUPIc08B80f77PO4syXMgSIxCdWp0

We will also have a fix for this in the next patch too.

I noticed similar issues with other characters. It could be that intimacy and/or lewdness are too low to kick off the progression event. 

I had to suffer through the same boring (no offense intended) bar brawl story of hers 10 times or so until her intimacy was maxed out to kick off the next event.

Similarly, I had to "farm" other characters' events to get either lewdness and intimacy stats up and it is hella unclear what works for how long, which can be frustrating.

The Manga Research Club quest DEFINITELY hinges on Lyriels' Lewdness, I got the last couple of points by lightly smacking her ass on morning visits and commenting it with "couldn't help myself"

Hey is there any way to use the magic wand as the girls do in the game or do you just obtain it and then it does nothin

Hey PornJoe!

Sorry for the delay with this reply!

As of right now there isn't a way to use this.

Guys am I stupid? I can't progress Manga Reasearch Club part 2. Cait and Lyriel are never together!

Hey Master!

You might need to progress either Caits own personal story or Lyriels! As they might be conflicting with each other.

Hey Eldjotnar

I havent gotten a new Cait mission in awhile, and I don't see a missions really interfering with Lyriels so idk. Is there a specfic mission I need to clear before doing or something?

Hey MasterFruit,

You may need to progress the main story (if you haven't already). You might need to progress the other gals quests too.

Usually if a quest isn't triggering, the gal (or gals) are overlapping with each other. Its kinda like untangling a string.

If you still have issues, lemme know and we'll have a further look into it.

(2 edits) (+1)

ah another nice bit of conent with 7.12  :-)

I do wonder when the story will continue though....?

Does Cait's story have to play out first?

I'm curious to see when we'll go back to visit the Elves again.... lotta stuff happened there which was never resolved.

Hey wwdragon!

I can't say or such but there's a lot of cool stuff in store for AHITR :)

Heh yeah I have no doubt.

I'm looking forward to seeing it! :-)

what to do after extracting the files from rpa?

Hey Krazzy

You'll need our Android Launcher and .rpa file (Don't extract).

You can find our step by step guide here:

https://zanithone.itch.io/a-house-in-the-rift/devlog/583030/android-installation...

so...all I need is to move that rpa inside that file???damn I spend a long time contemplating how to update this since I'm being addicted to it😅

last question.. I've found the previous compressed rpa file inside the folder, what should I do with it??

Hey Krazzy,

You can delete any old versions whenever you update to a newer one!

thank yo

save file was corrupted and i dont know why, usually yall are pretty good when it comes to save files being carried over through each update, but 333 days worth of gameplay are down the drain and im feeling discouraged to grind all of that again :/

Hey Try,

Sorry to hear about the save issue. Its completely understandable to feel discouraged.

There will be two locations for your saves. One in the game folder (AHITR/Game/Saves) and (AppData\Roaming\RenPy\AHouseintheRift) (The Renpy folder acts as a sort of sync) - You could try seeing which save location is corrupted by maybe moving the saves to a temp folder, loading the game and trying the older folder etc.

If it is still corrupted, I do have a save that has everything up to 0.7.4 completed. I know its not ideal but it would get the ball rolling for you again.

Lemme know if the first method works!

sup, i have the same problem. can u give me the save?

Here's the save https://mega.nz/file/uJ0j1BDS#Vba7BkNL7hr9idrvBX-T_QeLcmynWmPhjNpEj3YVruE

Hey Darth,

Currently there's no plans to release it on Steam but we appreciate the feedback all the same o/

thanks for responding

reposting in main thread:
How do we trigger the "Naomi helps you deeply humble Rae" scene?

Hey Ch1dori!

I replied to you on the original comment, hope you enjoy!

Something wrong with the latest download. Always bricks the download half way. The non paid one works tho

Hey Giga,

Thanks for the feedback! This could be an issue at Itch's end. Which version is causing issues (PC, Android etc)? 

A House in the Rift 0.7.12 PC - LATEST8.1 GB windows

(+1)

Hey Giga,

So we had a look into this and all seems to be fine at our end, so might be something at Itchs end.

Have you tried downloading through the Itch client by any chance?

Hey I purchased the game a long time ago so that means I can download all new updates so why can't I download 7.12?

(+1)

Hey Beasty.

Have you tried pressing the "I have already bought this.." at the bottom of the download page?

It redirects here:

https://itch.io/docs/buying/already-bought

Lemme know if this helps!

It helped thank you very much Eldjötnar

I have to ask, can we avoid harem routine and be with just one person?

Hey Kuro!

For the main story, you are correct. For their individual stories, lewd activities aren't optional.

Oh, good then. Now I can play this game 👍🏿

Hey so I'm not sure what exactly is happening with the larger renpy games I've been trying to download recently (such as ahitr), but extracting them keeps causing errors on my end, clearly this is a problem on my end but I'm not sure how to fix it. I'll leave a full trace back incase anyone can help.

Full traceback:

So whenever I try to extract the file two files cause errors for some reason:

images_girls_naomi.rpa

images_side_quests_ani.rpa

It just keeps returning as error unknown, my guess is that my pc thinks these files are dangerous, but 7-zip also registers these as errors so I'm at a loss.

I just used the test feature with 7-zip to see what might be the problem, it comes back as a data error for both of the above mentioned files for version 0.7.12r3

Hey Gold Bat,

This looks like a corrupted archive. If you have any anti-virus software, make sure to allow the download through as it can flag the game (and others like it) as a false threat and cause files to be deleted/quarantined!

I figured it was the case. Thank you so much for the help!

so hi, me again, if any one else has had the issues I had, I was able to fix it by redownloading the game. I think when I downloaded the game the first few times the download got interrupted by something and caused the files to go corrupt. 

I tried with my anti-virous but it wasn't what was flagging the game (literally disconnected myself from the internet and shut the whole thing down). It was my windows file explorer that was having a hernia. So yeah, if anyone else has similar issues, thats what happened to me. 

Love the game, but I can't seem to figure out how to complete Caits Chap 4 quest with the banana. I see her on the living room, and then her doors locked and I get stuck there. Any ideas?

Hey Nero,

If you have any quests in your journal, you might need to do those first, as there might be characters conflicting with Caits chapter. Give that a try and lemme know it that helped!

Well I was all the way up to Blairs storyline, but I decided to start a new save game in case I missed something or did it out of order, so now I've completed every side quest up to recruiting Lyriel and I've still got the same issue. The quest im stuck on is An Eager Student Chap 4, I bump into Cait, she runs to her room, the next instructions are "see what she's up to" but her door always says "Locked from the inside". I'm feel like I'm missing something just not sure what.

Hey Nero,

Sorry that this has been a weird hiccup.

Can you post your save to a file sharing site (Google Drive, Mega etc) and share the link here? I'll have a look further into this.

(You can find your saves in the AHITR directory: AHITR/Game/Saves. Saves should look like 1-1LT1 - First number is the page and the second is the slot)

Much appreciated!

Here you go boss: https://mega.nz/file/xrdgEBAQ#vEN3OcS6wjxZyEwwjzWyBUluT1T1CPJf87Hx82b4i_g

Just FYI I mainly use the android version, but I tested on PC and problem persists in the save.

(1 edit)

Hey Nero,

Thanks a bunch for uploading and sending that my way!

I had a look and if you if you do the following:

Tuesday Morning on Day 113 check on her when she's sneaking a banana upstairs.

Thursday Morning on Day 115 same again with the banana.

Saturday Morning on Day 117 again with the banana and you should now be able to proceed with the event.

Lemme know if that helps!

I love that game but please make more cosplay scene with rae and more scene with lyriel in a romantic way

Does this have any voice acting and H-scene sound effects?

Hey Amom!

Currently, there's no voice acting for AHITR or lewd sounds (One of the dream scenes does have sounds for a side character). We did a test a while back with Rae for a BJ scene, but haven't returned to it. 

Ah ok, thank you!

Will you circle back to it? Voice and effects, in the future of course.

Hey Amommymous,

We don't have any plans right now but it could be something we test again someday.

Ok ok, thanks again. You reply quick holy shit. Glad you're a hands-on developer. It's so nice to see that.

Try my best to get to comments as quickly as I can, but Itch's notification system can be a bit funky sometimes.

Dude this is one of my favorite VN with great character designs. Fantastic story. Will you ever bring this to Steam? You have so much content in this.

Hey Red!

Thanks a bunch for the kind words, glad to hear you've been enjoying AHITR!

We currently have no plans to bring AHITR to steam.

hi, i finished playing ver 7.7 and i would like to know how to update the game. do i just download the latest version?

Hey John!

Yep, just update to the latest version and you can continue exactly where you stopped (saves carry over automatically).

thanks. i think i updated the game but im not sure. I still have the What The Future Holds quest. is that normal?

(1 edit)

Hey John,

That is normal. That quest means you've done all main story content for the current version. Note: Not every patch will have a main story quest!

Here's the change log for 7.8, 7.9, & 7.10:
