i want more girl goth girl will be nice
Hi! I really love the design of the house in A House in the Rift. The house itself is actually one of my favorite parts of the game.
I was wondering if there is any chance you could share the floor plans, blueprints, or perhaps a 3D model/project of the house? I would really love to try building an exact or very close real-life replica of it.
If possible, I’d also be interested in knowing what materials the house is supposed to be made of, its approximate dimensions, or any other architectural details you might have.
Of course, I completely understand if the files or plans can’t be shared. I just really like the house and would love to recreate it in real life. Thank you!
Hey IzaLived!
Unfortunately I don't have any assets to share or such. What I could recommend is grabbing the april fools we did a few years back, where the house was recreated in Unreal Engine. Its not very optimized so I suggest tweaking the settings.
It requires a Patreon account, but its free to create if you don't have one.
You can find that link here:

Curious about some early Lyriel checks... does the freedom choice negate further dreams, and alternatively if you choose the lewd option instead of the good guy option will that alter events for her at all? I am debating wasting time to finish out everything else to focus on it, but it would take a lil while to do lol.
Hey Angel!
That dream doesn't play a role on future events/interactions with Lyriel, it's a contained dream that has different renders/dialogue depending on what you choose. That's about it really.
gotcha, the way it played out made it seem like if you chose to free her in that dream it wouldn't lead to the follow up dream with her in bed, tied to it. There's been a few choices that I have tried while doing her events that I figured were bad options but they still progress in a different way than I expected... the one I just got being an easy example, ordering her to read aloud in the library. I expected her to snap and storm out, but she almost seemed like she liked being ordered to do something. It makes me really curious if she has a split path on how she progresses based on how you treat her, like how if you choose to stay silent in the early options it seems to become a flag that she calls out when you suddenly give her the silent treatment again. Like it almost feels as if she has a route where you could basically train her out of the weird bratty tsundere nature she has or something.
It seems I'm in a softlock. Lyriel is stuck in her room (via Reading Club quest that requires higher stats) at the evenings so i can't ask her to visit the shower and thus level her up. For the quest.
Save:

Hey Holity!
I had a quick look with the save. That particular evening, Lyriel appears in the library for me. If you interact with her and select "Ask her to..." you should be able to select "...go take a shower".
Does she not appear in the library for you?
Oh ffs, that little gremlin... It seemed like she stopped going outside the room at all at the evenings, maybe it was just other quests overlapping.
Alright thank you, that was hasty of me
Bro porfavor para cuando en español pls
¡Hola, Fernan!
Existía una traducción hecha por fans al español, pero no se ha actualizado en años, así que suponemos que ha sido abandonada.
La localización no es una prioridad absoluta en este momento; nos encantaría contar con varias opciones de idioma en el futuro, pero, de llevarla a cabo, se haría mediante traducción automática.
----------------
There used to be a fan translation for Spanish, but it hasn't been updated in years, so we assume it has been abandoned.
Localization isn't a top priority right now and we would love to have a few language options in the future, but it would be done via machine translation if we pursue it.
Está en español?

I downloaded from itch but it a broken file. Phone can't read it or do It requires to be extract?
Hey Masikai!
You need both the Android launcher and .rpa game file. We have a step by step guide here:
https://rift.ink/3PADL3p
Oh it requires launcher now now? I guess the files are too big.
Thx for the optimization to be able to play on Android.
I'm clicking on the download button but it seems to be broken, could anyone please help me?
Hey symbiote!
If you're having issues downloading here, I'd recommend grabbing from our Patreon.
It requires a Patreon account, but free to create if you don't have one already.
Here's a link to the latest free version:
https://rift.ink/3TznNeF
thank you, but it works now, it seems that it was just an issue on my end yesterday
can someone tell me what's the difference between premium and the free version???? please and thank you.
Hey sinya!
The premium version is around 2 versions/updates ahead of the free version!
oh ok I thought offered like clothing customization or something thanks for the info.
Seein others compliment how good this is, and I gotta agree. I would even go as far as saying it's up there with stuff like Once in a Lifetime. Both are super well made and put together. Much respect for the attention to detail and fairly smooth story writing.
Appreciate the feedback and kind words!
Since you've been played both old and new versions of the game, have you any particular favourite characters, and have those changed as the game has progressed?
So I had actually stopped playing the 0.7 version before getting Lyriel. I forget why, probably just started doing other things and forgot to get back to it like many other games lol. As for my current run through, I have been taking my time to try out different dialogue options so it's been a bit slow and I am currently doing Lyriel stuff before finally progressing to get the pool and back yard. At least I assume that's what the dream will do. I am partial to Naomi for the most part, and it's probably because of that that the ship events made me really wish there was a different way to go about the situation... because it really sucks having her feel like she was betrayed when she really wasn't. It is also really weird going from that to her default upbeat mood in her repeatable events. I did see in the gallery how there's 2 more that join the house, and one looks like a mechanic. So that will be interesting given the 4 girls are from ye olde myth n magick worlds. Will get there eventually though.
yo, is there any way to recover my save? had to format my pc and lost my save with 800+ days of progress.
Hey Jaspionn!
Sorry to hear about losing your save. Unfortunately if it was a full format without any backups, those saves are gone.
We do have a save with everything up to 7.4 completed. It may not be the most idea solution, but its a great starting point to get the ball rolling again.
https://gofile.io/d/QI3bZypu
np, thanks!
How do you update it on android
Hey Wakidoodle!
Download the latest .rpa game file.
Place it in the "game" folder (like you would have when you installed the game for the first time).
Delete the old .rpa
Launch the game! Saves sync over automatically.
I don't remember the file the folder it was
Documters > ahitr_storage > game.
Move the new rpa file into that folder and delete the older one. Fairly simple unless you changed where the file is. Maybe even just in the downloads folder.
Thank you
No problem, enjoy yourself o/
You could be proud of yourself this is one of the best h games i have ever seen
Glad you've enjoyed your time with AHITR so far! Do you have any favourite moments or characters?
Definitely Rae is my fave and i love the part where she considers living in mc world
Best game ever great story line
Appreciate the kind words!
Do you have a favourite character?
will you ever add SFX and voice overs
Hey Hexom!
As of right now, we do have a few dreams that have both lewd sounds and voice acting.
We do tests every so often and something we'd like to look at down the road, but for the base game, this is something that isn't a top priority right now.
Im a bit confused didn't we have version 12 or 11 already free before or am i making mistakes
Hey Angelo!
This might have been version 0.7.11 when it was released way back or perhaps you saw 0.8.11 in the premium section.
Either way its released now!
when is the update coming out in itch for pc? or there is a way to update the game without waiting itch, and if there is a way, itch would recognice my saves?
Hey Kempachii!
If you're using the Itch Launcher, you can directly download from here instead if you'd like. Download, unzip and run.
Saves will sync over automatically.
Updates/New versions take a tad bit longer to release on Itch. If you'd like to obtain the free version as soon as you can, I'd recommend checking out our Patreon release. It requires a Patreon account (free to create if you don't have one already).
Here's a link to the latest free version:
https://rift.ink/3TznNeF
Saves should syn over from your Itch version too. In the rare case is doesn't.
Go to where AHITR is located on your system. In the "game" folder you'll find "saves" - You can copy or move that folder over to the location, in the same place, if your saves don't sync.
Hope this helps!
Thank you so much<3
may i have the new save data? the last link doesn't work.
Hey de el en!
What save data are you referring to? If its the save with everything up 7.4, here's a fresh link for that:
https://gofile.io/d/QI3bZypu
thank you mr
thank you mr
Wonder how much has been added since... *checks old file version before deleting it* 0.7.2r3 :o
Hey Angel!
You have quite a bit of content to catch up on! Hope you enjoy!
Have this habit of saving for event choices, and a weird thing with my brain where I remember game related info really well. So it's been neat to see how even the start of the game has changed. Some subtle stuff like grammar and spelling, though there are still some weird spots. But even the lighting and character looks have been updated. A lot of the animations have even been smoothed out, though like the grammar and spelling some need to be smoothed out still (like Cait's morning BJ, it's still a bit clippy). Even feel like a couple things have been outright changed here n there. So, ya, it's been a good time so far.
There has been some revamping of the earlier renders/animations, and some of the systems too.
Grammar is something we try to catch before the main release, but can slip through the cracks, but will come back around to down the road.
Glad to hear its been a pleasant experience overall though!
Big fan of youre work,I simply love it soo much.Do you consider in the future to launch this game on a bigger platform like steam or something???
Hey coco!
Glad to hear you've enjoyed your time with AHITR o/
Not sure what the future holds, but for now, in its current iteration, it won't be released on Steam.
how do i update the game?
Hey Laramon!
On PC, you can download, extract and run. Saves will syn over automatically.
On Android, drop the .rpa game pack into the "game" folder (like you would have when installing for the first time), delete the old .rpa and launch the game. Saves will also syn over automatically!
Enjoying the story but having a real issue with Rae at this point. MC is written to be smarter than he is acting with her. The obviousness of the shady, manipulative shit she is pulling by chapter 25 of her story is comical but the MC seems to just be a moron incapable of seeing it. At this point any interaction with her for me I want a "Until you can stop the secrets and manipulation you can go fuck yourself." option but all we get are "Oh alright, I guess you'll fill me in during your villain speech."
The MC is easily in a position to force her to spill her secrets but is too dumb to do it. Kinda kills the story for me.
Am i softlocked?
I am at Cait story 31 and Lyriel story 29 at the same time and don't know to advance. From my perspective the Lyriel event can not trigger if Cait locked herself in the room all day long, and i miss some intimacy points to advance with Cait's story. Don't know how to get Cait's points up.
Am i missing a crucial dialog option with Lyriel?
It seems nothing works at the pool or the hallway in front of the mirror. Also if both Azraesha and Lyriel are present and talks at her room later also seems don't do anything with each option.
Hey VASD!
Could you drop your save for me, please? You can use any file sharing site of your choosing, just make sure the link isn't private.
Saves will look like "5-2-LT1"
If you need info on where the saves are:
PC
Where your game folder is located, you'll have a "game" folder where the .exe is. Inside the "game" folder you'll have "saves".
Example: C:\AHouseInTheRift-GameVersionHere\game\saves
Android:
You can find your Android saves in "ahitr_storage".
I'll have a look into the save and get back to you when I have more information.Example: Internal Storage/documents/ahitr_storage.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vG6EfbYSNmnlb-rZ2I1qtSxs1bomPO4P/view?usp=drive...
Thanks for the save! I'll reply when I have a bit more information.
Dear dev,
i hope every side of your pillow feels cold tonight. i really enioyed your game, loved everything about it, story, animation, the jokes, you name it. i just have a few questions, first i just reached winter market date with rae, and the game present me with three choices and a noticeable text telling me that it was and important choice, just curious, how many route or endings i could choose? can i pick only rae or anyone else for the ending? or could i pick 2 out of 6 girls? my next question, as i rarely save the game, i forget to save before choosing rae's option, is there anyway to roll back? starting from scratch will take too long tho unless there are some new contents. and my last question? do you consider pregnancy?
many thanks dev, i hope you have a great day and stay healthy
Hey revocalypse!
At the moment, it is unknown how many endings there will be, but as you've mentioned, it would be highly recommended that you save at those decisions to reload at a later time. You should be able to rollback but if you've progressed passed it, you may not be able to and unfortunately, will have to create a new save.
In regards to pregnancy content, we have no plans to add it.
Appreciate the kind words and for taking the time to play AHITR! Glad to hear you've enjoyed your time with it o/
thanks for the reply. that's a shame, but well i have a save file that isn't too far from those decisions. i'll keep that in mind.
Aw i was hoping that i could see preggo rae tho lol. but it's okay, your game, your stories. i'm glad i could play your game
Olá , como faço pra baixar o jogo , baixou o arquivo e depois coloca ele no apk? Não estou conseguindo
Olá yzf-claiver!
Você precisa tanto do launcher do Android quanto do arquivo .rpa do jogo. Temos um guia passo a passo aqui:

Hey yzf-claiver!
You need both the Android launcher and .rpa game file. We have a step by step guide here:

It's a great game and has an entertaining story; however, the language aspect is where it really falls short and loses potential for players from other parts of the world.
I hope they manage to fix that section in the near future.
Hey Shadow!
Localization isn't a top priority right now and we would love to have a few language options in the future, but it would be done via machine translation if we pursue it.
Sorry, i was really interested in the game but the android version is literally impossible to install, for some reason it requires me to instal an external app that isn't available on the latest versions, do you think that could be fixed?
Hey Mickey!
You'll need both our Android launcher and game pack (.rpa). Our Android launcher has been the same version (more or less).
We have a step by step guide here:
https://rift.ink/3PADL3p
Hey how can i get the alchemical mishap scenes ?
Hey Kospae!
They are part of a lost and found quest with the alchemy minigame! Just be sure to not skip it when it appears!
Hello, so I have an older version before, and I updated and placed the new game version in the game file but the launcher just forcibly turns off
Hey Anime!
When placing the new .rpa into the "game" folder, make sure to delete the old .rpa if you haven't done so already.
If you have, the new download might be corrupted or incomplete. I'd recommend either trying redownloading, or grabbing from our Patreon, as we offer a few mirror sites to download from.
Requires a Patreon account (free to create if you don't have one already) and you can grab the latest free version (0.8.11) here:
https://rift.ink/3TznNeF
Hope this helps!
Hello! I've already done so yesterday, after deleting the new download and the old .rpa for some reason it just doesn't want to start. I deleted everything and redownload everything and it finally worked. It costed me my save file but eh it's fun to replay the game so no worries.
I was just curious about Rae's Story Chapter 29, is there a best possible choice or will only time tell if we chose the best or worst option?
Hey Down!
No one knows just yet! Tis recommended to make a save there for now.
Hey, the additional content for Rea, does one need to buy the premium, or will it be release in public?
Hey Diogasto!
Which additional content for Rae are you referring to?
In regards to the premium version, its 2 versions ahead (usually) of the free, so any content in that will eventually come to free/public releases.
Can someone show me how to download it on Android?
I downloaded it but couldn't open the game.
Hey Peter!
You'll need both our Android launcher and game pack (.rpa).
We have a step by step guide here:
https://rift.ink/3PADL3p
Much appreciated, I needed it as well. Eventually I'll be able to send more your way but at the moment bills are priority
Does enyone knows how to unlock the Xmas event? I'm on day 397, I've done every girl's quests, the only thing that the notebook says is: "What the feature holds?". Which I think is the end for the v0.8.10 version of the game. So why didn't the event got triggered to me?
by the way the game was absolutely peak
Hey PrimesHD!
Seasonal events appear in game during the actual time of the year. (Our Patreon subscribers have access to codes to play them whenever they like).
You could try setting your computers clock to around Christmas time and trying again.
Oh that makes sense. Thank you so much 🙏
I purchased the game awhile back, and yet I cannot download the premium version, any way to fix that or is it just borked?
Hey Svalinn!
We have a form you can fill out if you've previously purchased the game:
https://forms.gle/2i8Mrj7pHPkL4Kmc8
It can take up to a week to get the email but if you hear nothing back by then, let me know!
Fantastic. I'll do just that then!
Is there a good walkthrough guide anywhere? I am now at the decision point with caithlin and would like to know what the "choose careful" options will mean down the line
Hey Tairirion!
There isn't an official walkthrough. We recommend making a save at those choices as no one knows the outcome at the moment!
Peak game.
more Lyriel story?🤔
Still more in store for everyone
Do you think you would need help with a Spanish translation for your game?
Hey Void!
Localization isn't a top priority right now and we would love to have a few language options in the future, but it would be done via machine translation if we pursue it.
I downloaded both the files and launcher but the game takes so long to load until it crashes. Do I need to unzip the compressed file first? I'm in Android.
Hey Hasch!
If you've followed the guide here:
https://rift.ink/3PADL3p
And you're encountering issues, it could be a faulty download.
I'd recommend grabbing our Patreon version, as the servers on Itch may have caused an issue with the download here. You'll need a Patreon account, which is free to create if you don't have one
https://rift.ink/4xU4KeN
Beyond that, the games performance will vary device to device.
Hope these help!
I found a bug when trying to load in
Does closing and restarting help in this instance?
Good afternoon, can someone please tell me. Maybe I didn't understand something, or maybe there's something else, but are the items in the inventory actually usable? Or do they just lie there until they're needed in the story?
Hey chemtra!
Some are used for quests and will be used when needed, but for the most part, they just stay there.
Thx <3
I cannot view the contents of Sofa quickie and Movie extra inside the Scene gallery. Could you help me fix this problem?
Hey collective!
Do they not play at all? If so, could you try redownloading the game and trying again?
