Loving this game so far! Rae is definitely one of the best characters I've seen in an AVN 😊
I'm a bit stuck on how to progress Manga Research Club though. I'm on part 2 but no matter what options I choose I never get part 3, they just shut the door on me and the next part doesn't appear. Have I done something wrong?
Hey Crewdy!
Glad to hear you've been enjoying your time with AHITR so far o/
Usually, if you can't get a certain quest to trigger or progress, there's another quest you might need to do that involves the character(s) of the stuck quest.
Give that a shot and let me know if progresses for you!
That worked thanks, I needed to go a bit further into Lyriel's story and it has appeared now 😊
so I was getting to the end of what's in the free version and was in a dream sequence unlocked in the maze and I scrolled back to read a line accidentally I had clicked too early on and it just went black and wouldn't end, and since I hadn't saved since the start of the maze and there were no autosaves, I tried quick saving and loading hoping it would just end the scene but that made a save that just crashes the game, so idk exactly what causes it but you might wanna look into it, no crash log or anything as far as I can tell just not responding
Hey Comfy!
Sorry to hear you've bumped into this error. Sometimes saving during events/cutscenes can cause the game to stall/crash.
Are you able to continue your save file, by any chance?
I can still load the quicksave from the start of the maze, so once I'm willing to replay like 20-30 minutes of stuff I can get back to where I was
Is there any way to increase my purchase price? I bought the game for $8 and I can have the upgrade now for $10. I tried to do a second purchase of a game because of this, and it just created 2 purchases of the same game. Had I known about the early access I would have paid a little more. Now it looks like its too late.
Hey Anubis,
So the $10 version is the only paid version here on Itch. What exactly do you mean by upgrading?
Oh nm. There must have been a special 20% off discount at the time.
A genuinely impressive game with a unique story, full of diverse characters. All of which are consistent in their behaviours & actions. (Which should be expected, but quite a few Hollywood productions write characters who change personalities/motivations on a dime so "X" can happen, without justification).
While I'm not finished, I already felt I should give my compliments to the chef! Well done!
Hey Jerad!
Glad to hear you've been enjoying AHITR! We appreciate the feedback o/
Any particular favourite girl(s)/moment(s)?
Thanks for the swift response, ironically I just experienced my 1st bug. (It just self corrected after an hour+ of gameplay, oddly).
I entered the university maze, encountered the plant, but the battle music continued through the entire maze, plus back at the house & into the next morning. I wasn't sure if it was meant as tense bg music or a bug until returning back to the house. Tried reloading, rebooting device but it persists.
- Fixed itself? As I typed this... - the battle music played through Cait's towel conversation, but the proper soundtrack returned after as I spawned in living room.
As for favourites, I appreciate how the different personalities play & bounce off eachother during the good & bad.
But my fav is Caitlin. Not usually into the shy type, but always a fan of kind & respectful women who aren't overly entitled.
Sometimes the music can outstay its intended trigger, but as you experienced it usually corrects itself! Glad everything is working, but if you run into any issues, feel free to drop a message and we'll do our best to sort it out o/
Sounds good, my initial reason for posting was genuinely just to compliment the game, but I greatly appreciate the speed with which you mods have responded to issues. Thanks for all your hard work!
How to find folder save on macbook?
Hey 3010!
You should be able to find your saves in ~/Library/RenPy/game_directory
Hello! I would like to leave some words here. The first time around I was looking for an adult game to take my thoughts of some IRL issues and found myself on this page. Honestly I wasn't expecting a lot. Man did you overcome every expectation!
This game has a story so well written that I dare say it's in a class of it's own and I've seen almost all "NSFW" games Steam has to offer including many VNs. By the way, will you release it there? It would be nice.
What sets this game apart is that all the characters fell real, like really real. Please keep this up.
If I was in the main hero shoes, I'd marry Lyriel in a heartbeat you know and I'm not a young guy anymore and not saying it because of all the fun you can have with her (which is great), but also because of her personality that is so well written. It's a real feat you know. If only the main character could be a wee bit nicer to her sometimes, though I get that she kinda likes him the way he is. Hope to see more of their adventures in the coming versions :D
Just a huge thank you!
Hey galloper!
Thanks a bunch for taking the time to swing by with your feedback/thoughts on your time with AHITR! Glad to hear you've been enjoying it thus far :)
Do you have any particular favourite moment(s)?
Oh you know, just the whole plot is intriguing. I really like how stories of the girls intertwine the more you move along the main story and how all the house inhabitants start to develop deeper bonds with each other over time.
When updating versions do the saves still work or do we need to start over?
Hey Loki!
Saves are carried over automatically! So all you gotta do is download the latest version, boot up and you can resume where you left off!
If you'd like to ever make a manual backup, saves are located in:
AHITR/Game/Saves for PC
ahitr_storage on Android
Hope this helps!
Awesome thanks!
can some one pls tell me, how is money stored in the files
Is this finished??
Hey :D!
AHITR is still ongoing! The latest release in early access is 7.18.
The rough estimate right now is around 60-80%!
I'm currently considering paying for the 10$ quality up version after playing the first hour or so, but I'm wondering about the difference in quality for both versions? Is there a photo comparison I can refer to?
Hey Evil!
The game is rendered in 1080p natively for both the high-res and compressed versions. The quality is lower for both images/videos in the compressed (and of course, file size) though you may not notice a difference depending on your screen size. Here's some example side by sides I put together real quick.
There does seem to be a noticeable difference! This is very helpful thank you!
Hello, good evening. Can I pass the maze? What should I do?
Are the days infinite? I'm asking bc i've played until Naomi showed up and now the quest book is full of quests, can i just do them in whatever order i want without worrying about losing content?
Hey Mike!
Correct, you can tackle the content in whatever timeframe you'd like, none of the quests will disappear until you finish them.
You might need to do some content in a certain order (sometimes there are overlapping triggers for characters, which means you might need to do some other quests to make another trigger correctly).
Understood, tysm, not only the game is great but reading the comments made me happy to see a dev who's both active and nice
Where can I listen to the soundtrack for this game?
Hey Jack!
The main track used in AHITR is "Lonely Fish" by Sascha Ende
As for the other tracks you hear in the game, some come from asset packs that unfortunately have no particular name or artist.Thanks!
I really should get back to this one. But it's been so long and I'd have to try and remember how I got it set up on mobile in the first place let alone how to update it on mobile... Iirc I had to use a file app to move the game folder into the launcher folder (which I'm pretty sure I had to redo at least once to get it right lmao). But would I just do the same and replace with the new folder or would I have to delete the old folder outright and then slot the new file in?
Hey Angel!
We have an Android installation guide here:
https://rift.ink/3PADL3p
If you're updating, you can place the new .rpa file into the "game" folder shown in the guide, and the delete the old .rpa before booting up!
Saves will carry over automatically, but you can find your saves in "ahitr_storage" if you want to make a manual back up!
Also, welcome back, hope you enjoy catching up with all the new stuff you haven't seen/played!
nice, ya it's been like a year or so since I last commented I think so probably somewhere around there xD also good to know it's basically a "pull batteries out place new batteries in" type system. I will just have to find the file with my app.
how can i update on laptop guys ?
Hey hung,
On PC, you can download here on the website itself, unzip and run (saves carry over automatically).
You can also get the latest version through the Itch app, and its the same process of downloading and running.
Hope this helps!
Does that mean i just need to download the new version and it will upgrade itself while the old version is already downloaded?
Hey Hung,
The new download is a folder as its own separate thing. So you can boot the game up, your saves will automatically sync over and you can delete the old folder.
Thanks
I've been playing this game for a while now and just downloaded the latest version, idk if I updated the game properly (just deleted the old rpa file and put in the new one) , sorry for any inconvenience
Hey sgususis!
That is the correct way to update on Android!
not sure from when they are, but do the dream sequences cause problems? I had it with the blue haired girl just now, some sort of loading problem maybe if you roll back somehow I actually just left the room and was trying out something.
Hey Mausa!
We currently have no reports of the dreams causing issues, but corrupt downloads can cause some content to be missing/not playing properly. It can also be down to the individual device too. You can try changing the renderer (Shift + G), save and restart the game.
If that doesn't work, I'd recommend a possible clean installation/reinstall and see if it helps!
I'm stuck on day 2 Wednesday Night it tells me i cant go to sleep yet but once i try to leave out the room its say no reason to roam the at night i don't know what to do.
Hey Vert!
If you showered early game you'll be soft locked. This was a bug that was fixed for 0.7.16r4 - You'll either need to reload a save or start a new game!
I've got a minor bug for you. Blair's sex stat isn't rising when you do it with her.
Also, a small continuity error. During Lyriel's morning visits, her panties inexplicably disappear.
Hey A4,
Lyriel is just that prepared to get down and ready ;) (For real, appreciate the feedback!)
I can't follow your progress because the game is just too damn big. How about a patch system?
Hey Foo,
We actually do over on Patreon! It'll patch from X version to X. If you're several versions behind I'd recommend just grabbing a full download instead.
This is a link to the latest free version.

How do I update the games since I installed it when I had no accoun
Hey Slam,
On PC, you can download here on the website itself, unzip and run (saves carry over automatically).
You can also get the latest version through the Itch app, and its the same process of downloading and running.
On Android, we have a step by step installation guide here:

Hope this helps!
What Do I Have To Do In The Quest That Says That Im Able To Open Doors Whats Next It Says "Tell Her You're Ready" so What Do I Have To Do That?
Hey Mappi!
Could you give me a bit more information? Who's quest or what quest is this exactly?
Hey i really really like your game since 2023.
But can u please put more "Do" option, not add more but now i can choose the first option of "Do". Example: when i max Cait's "do" steal cereal, i only can do the last one, and when i want to watch the first time i steal and i didnt save the game at that time, i dont know how to watch back.
Thanks for the nice game and reading my request.
Hey Kono!
As of right now there's no way to replay the earlier "do" scenes, unless you have a save before the particular action. Being able to choose which step you want to see that particular morning would be nice. Appreciate the feedback and the suggestion!
Just got the new version after playing 0.7.14
Now I can't get the new android version 0.7.17 to work, any ways to help with this? I think the .rpa files is what's messing with me
Hey Orbital,
Have you tried the steps in this guide?
https://rift.ink/3PADL3p
Also, make sure to the delete the old .rpa before launching the newest one.
Hi there, Yes i tried those steps and even deleted the old .rpa and it still hasnt worked.
Its okay as i will download it on my laptop instead
What is the potion recipe for Blairs sturdys spy secrecy

When opening the game on android after adding the .rpa file it crashes (i tried redownloading both launcher and rpa file) also its the compressed version
of course it crashes ts is 9GB!!
Hey Weegee,
Sorry to hear you're experiencing issues getting the game up and running.
If you haven't, please make sure the launcher has all the necessary permissions granted. Disabling and re-enabling permissions can also help.
Also make sure the .rpa is inside the "game" folder, having it "ahitr_storage" won't work.
Alternatively you can try downloading from Patreon as Itch can be a bit funky sometimes. This is the latest free version (You'll need a Patreon account but it's free to sign up)
https://rift.ink/4kN5dJ2
If all else fails, you could grab JoiPlay app and grab the PC version of AHITR and run it that way. Can't guarantee it'll work but that's a possible workaround.
Hope this helps!
I wound up with a slightly corrupted download. Downloading again fixed my issue, hope it fixes yours!
Question before I try it, does the voyeurism fetish mean that you are watching the girls naked, or watching them have sex with other dudes? Also, is the BDSM just some light bondage and spanking or is it more intense than that?
Hey Rune!
There's a few scenes where you can watch the girls shower and another scene where you can watch one have some fun by themself.
The BDSM is on the lighter side of things, nothing super intense!
Alright good Just making sure
Brother, you have created a great game. The story is amazing I play everyday after work, I see the the time and effort you put into this game clear as day. One thing is please add more music, I can only listen to the same track so many times lol!
Hey Beanos!
Thanks for the kind words/feedback! We appreciate it o/
LonelyFish.mp3 forever. And ever. :)
How do i open the .rpa file on mobile?
Hey Gjri!

Talked to Rae in the morning about finding ingredients but she still says she'll wake you in the morning?
Hey Rhavyc!
Are you still having issues with this?
I feel like I should start over and be taking notes. The dialogue needs some proofreading. "And others do know this too?" followed by "I guess many aren't."? That kinda hurts to read, sorry.
Hey Rhavyc,
Typos and grammatical errors slip through the cracks at times but feedback from the community helps us fix them for future patches!
Rhavyc, I've been collecting such things myself. I started a thread on the AHitR Discord help-and-bugs space for them. Maybe add yours there, to make them easier for the devs to find? (I *think* the ones you mention were on my list, but I don't for a minute think I didn't miss any; probably better to have a few dups than to miss some...).
can you add sound for the h scenes? my only problem with the game otherwise its goated
Hey Wibigus!
We have lewd sounds and voice acting in a dream (Which is in v0.7.16, that dropped as a free version on Patreon, dropping on Itch later this month) and in and another dream, we have a scene with lewd sounds.
We look at and discuss sounds in the game every so often but its not a top priority for the game right now.
Just thought I'd say, legitimately a great lewd vn game. Characters are cool and are interesting and the H content is plentiful. Im glad, at least from what I can see, you cant miss content, although once I was asked by someone to go somewhere and im pretty sure I lost Intimacy, if intentional I guess its fine since it only happened to me one time in my whole playthrough.
I will say however sometimes its annoying how often I found myself stuck on doing evenings and being unable to do certain evening events due to special events and/or due to the amount of evening events compared to other times and scheduling between them being unavailable. Maybe it was incredibly rare that it happened to me as much as it did and it wasnt game breaking, I dont have much criticism so this was pretty much it so I thought id mention it.
Also am I missing something or can we never go out at night? I was waiting for some kind of "meet me here" for some scene or some ritual. Maybe some mini game of sneaking around to not draw suspicion and if you fail you get sent back and have to wait for next night.
All in all BANGER game I will be buying just because I hope you guys continue wether more of this game and your future endeavors
Hey Martiano!
Thanks a bunch for taking the time to play and leave feedback, we appreciate it! There's a few scenes that you can miss out, but for the most part everything else is not!
With how the patches/content updates for the game have been released over the years, there's a bit of overlap with events/quests, so I completely get the frustration of not being able to do a particular event/quest.
Currently there's no roaming the house at night.
Again, much appreciated for your time, support and feedback!
why do i always crash whenever i try to load?
please help
Hey keejayyy!
Do you get any errors or such? Can you explain exact what happens and the process that leads to said crash?
Much appreciated!

10/10
Hey Notsosure!
Just in case you're unsure how to progress with that bug, don't shower early game! This was a bug fixed in 0.7.16r4!
Good thanks haha
XD
para cuando el español?
Hey Trankito,
There was a fan translation for the earlier versions of the game but I don't think its been updated for sometime/some years.
Localization is something that comes up every so often. Its not our priority right now but we would like to look into it in the future.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Hola Trankito,
Hubo una traducción de los fans para las versiones anteriores del juego, pero no creo que se haya actualizado durante algún tiempo o algunos años.
La localización es algo que surge de vez en cuando. No es nuestra prioridad en este momento, pero nos gustaría analizarlo en el futuro.
hey everyone, i can't complete the "potion of human bondage relief" anyone can help me
Where are you stuck ?
I did lots of combination but can't find the recipe
The recipe should be like this.
Thank You. I always did 5. gring bismuth 6 Add bismuth. I finally passed. thx a lot
You're welcome
I am stuck in there too
I have some troble with Naomi's story ch.11, Lyriel's story ch.9 and Dreamy pool quests, because Naomi just stuck in her room every evening. I just can't do anything with her
Hey Azrael,
If Naomi is stuck in her room, you may need to do other quests involving Naomi, Lyriel or other characters who would occupy the rooms that these characters need for certain quest triggers.
Can you try doing that and letting me know if it works?
idk what heppen, but Naomi unstuck
I really liked the game and I'm trying to redownload it on my new computer but it keeps getting to the last couple mb and says that the file cant be found is there any fix to this?
Hey Chilled!
This could be an issue at Itchs end! If you haven't tried a different web browser, you could try our Patreon download links. (You'll need a Patreon account, but its free to create. The latest free version is 7.15 but 7.16 should be releasing sometime soon).
Also, ensure if you have any anti-virus software to allow the download through or firewall settings. The download can be flagged as a false threat sometimes.
Three small comments:
(1) I really like that Yona is *not* stupid.
(2) When etherwalking to MC's world, the list of business names visible just inside the building doors on the ground floor make me wonder if we're going to end up meeting characters named Jen, Viv, Eld, Yho, Oonur, or Gilviel!
(3) I find it amusing how often, when a random book is shown, it is identifiably an old Encyclopaedia Britannica volume.
Hey Luchog!
Jen and Viv are already in game! (Jen is short for Jenny and Viv is short for Vivian).
Gilviel is one of the AHITR devs.
Yho, Oonur and Hats are all mods on the AHITR discord.
And Eld, well, that's me :-)
Ah, so they're all already live references! Cool.
Hmm...Eldjötnar..."old giants"?
The Eldjötnar were a race of fire giants in Norse mythology!
I *thought* "jötnar" looked like a plausible plural of "jotun", but I was guessing about the "eld" part. The only fire root I think I would recognize offhand from Norse would be one related to Muspelheim. Or *maybe* Surtr, though I think of that as more an individual name.
Thanks for explaining!
