I did not know I needed this game until I played it. I love the art style, the MC, and especially Mathis. I just finished chapter two and I don't think I could have said no to him if I tried, he is so lovely and sweet. 

This game is a treasure in the making and I can't wait to see how it turns out. 

I put off reviewing this for way too long. This was the best thing to come out for me in 2020. Things were rough and I was just looking for a simple distance when I came across this game but I ended up finding a true treasure that gave me a much needed sweetly soft story about childhood friends. I love that Cove can be MC's best friend or partner depending on how people chose to play. I always find that a nice touch in visual novels.

Thank you for this. I didn't know how much I needed it when I started playing through it. I can't wait for Step 3's DLC and Step 4.

Thank you so much for getting this fixed. My save files ran smoothly and I finished both without anymore interruptions or error messages. I played for a while longer to see if more issues popped up, but none did.

Once again, thank you so much for getting this fixed. I love the game and appreciate all the work you put into it.  

Unfortunately I was mistaken and I didn't save the tracebacks. I opened the game today and got them, but its happened this way since the 24th of September. I copied and pasted them from today 

The first on is Iscari siding with Golgotha: 

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
TypeError: unbound method visit_all() must be called with Null instance as first argument (got function instance instead)

EDIT: I realized that both these are saves are on Randal's routes. I didn't realize that until after returning to the Steam discussions and found someone else having issues as well. They're game was also on Randal's route.

I'm so sorry this had to be my first post here.

I posted this on the Steam discussions after doing everything Steam suggested for fixing the game and after talking to my dad he says that the issue I'm having is a bug. I've had it for two routes,  the first one starts right when I'm about to start the epilogue for siding with Golgotha as a Iscari. I'll get to the final test before the screen blacks out and rather than starting the epilogue looking out at the city, a white error exception occurred screen pops up. This is what happens in my other route where I'm replaying Randal's route as a Isacri trying to take over LA and romance him. The second error occurs on the roof after the talk about celebrities and he's about to respond.  

I've got the tracebacks for both and screenshots of the error message saved still if needed. I really love the game and want to keep playing it but I don't know if more issues are going to arise if I do. I still don't know why this is happening now since my game is up to date with the last patch.
