IMPORTANT NOTE: the game is free to access. If you bought a key on any other service at any other price, none of the proceeds went to the game’s authors, and you have in effect been scammed. I would recommend getting your money back from the site that sold you the key and getting your copies of the game only from the recommended sources listed above, or another source that allows free download of the game!
TROUBLESHOOTING
– For Mac and Linux users, there is no dedicated version available, so please use the Browser play option in one of the recommend browsers: Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and Safari if you use an addon to support the .ogg format.
– If you encounter any issue during play, please report it by writing to @lavantdapres or honeyUFE@gmail.com, with a screencap of the issue if at all possible!
– The game has known issues with 32-bit windows versions, and machines with low RAM. Make sure you meet the minimum specified requirements!
– The game can be misidentified as a false positive by Avast, Avira and AVG. If they block the game process from starting, make sure to allow an exception for nw.exe (for steam version) or honeyrose.exe (for all other desktop versions), or access to the site if playing through your browser!
– Initial launch on any configuration may require up to several minutes. Please wait to make sure the game starts correctly when first launching it!
– Make sure you have the correct version of Directx installed. By default, the installer should setup it for you, but if you skipped the process, you can access it again via the dxwebsetup.exe file in any of the desktop versions.
– When using the web version, the game’s data and your progress will be stored in your local browser cache. Be sure not to clear it unless you want to delete your game progress!
– If fonts are not displayed correctly in the game, make sure you have the following fonts installed on your computer: OpenDyslexic, Blue Highway, Komika Text. They should be installed as part of the installation process of the desktop application, but you will need to install them separately for the browser version! Download a bundle with all the required fonts here!
PAY-WHAT-YOU-LIKED
The game uses a “pay-what-you-liked” remuneration model.
“Pay-what-you-liked” is a system designed after “pay-what-you-want”, except you choose to support the game *after* having played it for yourself, and determined its personal value based on your own experience. It is designed to offer each player the most choice possible in whether to support the game or not.
To support the game and its creators, you have several options available:
– you can use the following paypal.me link to forward any amount you want. This amount will be split between the two developers of the game: Pehesse and Morusque.
– you can use the itch.io pay-what-you-want system to pay any amount you want, and obtain another copy of the game. The amount will be split between Pehesse, Morusque and Itch.io.
– you can buy DLC for the game on Steam. DLC stands in for suggested pay-what-you-liked tiers, and will not unlock any additional content for the game. Proceeds will be split between Pehesse, Morusque and Steam.
– you can buy the soundtrack: All proceeds will go to Morusque.
– you can support Pehesse’s Patreon, to support the development of his upcoming work. All proceeds will go to Pehesse.
