Troubleshooting PM me the exact option you chose to fix your display problem. It's just for me to know which solution works best.

If you run into a black screen, or if images in the game don't display properly (clothes don't display in the game), you may have to...

1.)Update your graphics drivers
2.)Update Direct X
3.)Try to force the game to read from a different driver. Click on the game icon once. Then hold the shift button and press enter to load the game. The game should open and look like the image attached. Cycle through the choices starting from to see which one works.

Thanks for this game, it looks really good, and it's been a while since I played and found an otome game that piqued my interest.

Congratulations for the release!

Hello!

I've tried out your game, and I was really impressed by it. It had a quirky story and I love the characters I've seen so far. I was planning on offering feedback after I had completed at least a few playthroughs of it, but I ran into an error/glitch.

The clothes don't show up at all. When I'm trying to buy clothes, all I see are blank spaces with the price listed below. I bought one piece of clothing, but it didn't show up in my inventory. I randomly guessed where it was, and it appeared on my character, but it doesn't appear at any other time.

Thought you'd like to know.

Thank you for understanding.

OMG!!! OMG!!!! finally!!!!
thank uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu......................

I downloaded and it works fine!!! It looks pretty cool!!
Though I have some problems! When buying clothes or a costume i can't go back, I mean just get stuck watching the clothes. What ever I click on it doesn't gets me back :/ is there a button I should pick or something?

Hi Venus I am currently playing now and I sort have the same problem as RunicV. Good thing I found your instructions on your forum and I am now updating my drivers. I hadn't thought of that.
