We've decided against rushing everyone out and dealing with a thousand bugs at once (that would be the worst) so we're rolling out the content over time. Story Mode is complete in content, however, and is playable right now. Open Mode characters will be released when they are completed, like free DLC.
THIS IS A BETA. THERE WILL BE BUGS. SAVED GAMES MAY BE CORRUPTED. If you want a very smooth experience, this is probably not the time to jump in. You're more than welcome, but you've been warned.
Helpful things you can do for me as a tester:
- Attach a traceback to your post for any game-breaking errors and describe the scenario you were in when it triggered.
- If you catch a typo, I wanna know about it!
- Refrain from modding the game your first time through.
- There is a questionnaire attached to this post that you can fill out if you're not sure what kind of feedback to give.
- For some reason everyone PMs me their bug reports & feedback but I'd rather that be public so people can know what is already reported. If you don't feel comfortable with that, that's okay. You can still PM me.

This is likely a problem with your video drivers / video card or you have a corrupted download.
Where are the rollback/game menu buttons on screen?
You'll need to use keyboard/mouse buttons. The mousewheel or PageUp/Down buttons work for rolling back and the ESC key or right-click brings up the game menu. All of the game's controls can be viewed from the "Help" screen on the main menu.
Who's that guy on the Open-Ended Mode graphic?
You'll find out when I release that mode's story next week!
The Open Mode characters don't have anything to say.
They're probably not released yet.
Will I be able to continue playing my band that I made in Story Mode after the ending?
Not right now, but I am thinking of making a cheat code where you can enter to play Story Mode endlessly.
Why can't I scroll down the thread on the Public Opinion forum?
It is a fake thread. You will only ever be able to see 2 posts in every thread.
It's taking a long time to generate $1,000,000 in CD sales.
Your CDs sell more if you're more popular, meaning you should probably play more gigs.
Certain things in the story happen no matter what I do!
These are pre-determined and won't change. They are there for character growth and to account for Open-Ended Mode.
How do I mod the game?
Instructions are here.
Why doesn't the music being played in the gigs reflect the actual instruments I have in my band?
The amount of time it would take to accomplish that outweighs how much that would add to the game.
Can I accidentally romance other characters?
Not in Story Mode. You pick your romance path early on at Sophia's party ("Who do I want to hang out with?") and you can only fail that character's path from then on. So you don't have to ignore the other band members.
What happened to the characters that I met in Story Mode that just disappeared? (Wizz, etc.)
These are band recruits for Open Mode that you are unlocking for later. Once they are officially released (see release schedule above) and you recruit them in Open-Ended Mode, their story arc will begin to trigger.
Why is this game free?
Because we started this game 6 years ago when commercial VNs were barely a thing and quality otome/EVNs were few and far between. Also, I built this game with a lot of resources with strict non-commercial licenses.
I'm getting an error about "mini_Faust_love.png" whenever I try to save/load.
There was an error while updating that didn't let the GUI files update. Follow instructions here to fix it, or re-download the game. Sorry!
