How to run the game on Android guide


I've been getting a lot of questions about the Android release, and currently there are no plans for an Android version as it would take quite some time to port and then maintain it.

But there is a way: Emulators.

In this guide I'll show where and how to download and set up an emulator - JoiPlay -  to play this or any other renpy game.

 

1) Download the joiplay.

Attention! This one is tricky since if you just google it, you'll 99% get links to the older versions of joiplay.

Idk why they distribute an old version even on their official page but anyway, we can find the newest version on their patreon (free): https://www.patreon.com/posts/joiplay-1-20-540-112995251

Download the joiplay and run it


2) Install Renpy plugin.

After launching the app, tap the three dots in the top right corner and go to the plugins section.



Install "Ren'py Plugin for JoiPlay" version 8.2.1 or newer. Older versions won't work! 



3) Download the game

The joiplay is set. It's time to add the game.

On itch.io or any other platform download the pc build of the game.


Unpack the zip file to any folder on your phone.


4) Add the game in joiplay

From the main menu tap the "+" symbol and select "Add Game"



Find where you extracted the game folder and open it



Find the .exe file and choose it


Follow the JoiPlay's instructions and now you can finally play the game!


5) Additional notes

You can adjust the interface to suit your needs. In general you'll only use "ESCAPE" to open up the menu and "CNTR_LEFT" to skip text, but I would recommend to also add "H" to hide the game's UI and "PAGE_UP" to backroll. 

You can also make the interface smaller or less transparent.

Default:



Customized:



6) To update the game.

To update the game you'll need to repeat all the steps above with a small addition of manually transferring save files.

To do it, simply go into the game folder and find "saves" folder there. Transfer it to the new game version folder.

Attention! Be careful with the saves! If you delete the game folder without securing your saves first, you will lose them!
