Having issues installing on android. I've extracted the APK file from the ZIP but every time I try to install it it just gives me an error and says "App Not Installed." I checked and I have enough storage for it. Any ideas what the issue is?

0.13.1 has been confirmed as working on a Pixel 4. Have you allowed installs from unknown sources and do have about 3x as much storage as the APK to make sure it installs correctly?

(1 edit) (+1)

Yeah, I have installed a few APKs before and they have worked just fine. It may still be the storage space since I only have about 2 GB free. Lemme delete some stuff I don't use and try again.

Edit: Purged like 5 GB of random shit off my phone and it installed no problem. Thanks for the help!

I can't install the game.

Can I get more details than that? What platform is this for?

It's for Android and when I try to install the game it says unable to extract file.

Use something like 7zip on your PC and install it that way? It extracts fine on my end.

Do I need an emulator to play the game?

No. It is natively for PC/Linux, Mac, and Android.

 64 bit only?

Python 3, which Ren'Py 8 is based on, it 64 bit. Sorry.

Thx for the answer )

I created this account for the soul purpose of writing a review (On second thought it is now more an Essay) on this game and it is amazing. So, far I have only completed the Alone route and I'm working my way through the Keisuke route so what I'm saying is mostly based off that, the shortest route so far (Unless you count the Mum route, which I have also completed) and it's gotten me this interested in the game.

When I'm looking for an erotic game one of the main things that I'm looking for is a great story line and the characters choices making sense for their characterization thus far. This game delivers on that and more with every decision and choice the protagonist makes based off of their choice's despite being accidental Zack makes himself into Zoey and as AI states that he has made himself who he wanted the most something impossible made possible.

*Spoilers for the alone route which it is easy and the quickest route to complete, so do it

The story has been amazing so far and I love the mental side of things explored in the Alone route. I was mostly skimming through things but I thought I got the main ideas. But the next day something struck me about the route I completed (This might be wrong entirely but if it is my interpretation of it and it got me thinking about it for a few minutes instead of working on a big project I have). Zoey as you're playing as her throughout it is being hunted by this shadowy mist then she meets Haze and he's not being effected by it. I didn't think much about it, but then all the mental implications of this entire scene hit me. The mist represented the subconscious of Zack. It blew my mind when I realized it (again it might of been stated in game but I might of missed it). 

Zack throughout his entire life has been trying to hide his female side and has oppressed Haze who used to represent those emotions due to it but now his masculine side is becoming less dominant but he still has this subconscious defense mechanism against it to try and not show his true self. But this backfires as when he does becoming female and his feminine traits start showing more and becoming the majority he dreams of himself with those traits and the mere fact that he is already dreaming himself as female really shows how adapt to the concept of being a women he was prier with it not seeing the light of day until now when his feminine traits have become more prevalent.

The story of Zack/Zoey's mental health is one that should be brought up throughout the story and with many other lewd games they don't consider what the mental effects of putting characters in positions like this are. Here's an example from another game I played with a basis of the protagonist being a male and ending up as female which, the mental health of the protagonist hardly got mentioned and when it was, it was just after the transformation and didn't heal it properly. This annoyed me, the lack of care to the character's writing but the game was still interesting from the world building.

Haze being unaffected is another main thing that drives the subconscious killing off his feminine traits thing through. Haze has probably been through the same pain that Zoey was in for less than a second for the majority of his existence but he is still willing to help out the main cause of the pain. But the fact him being around Zoey blocking off the detection of the mist as Zack/Zoey's masculine traits decrease while the opposite is true for Haze with the masculine traits wording off the mist as it has always done is just amazing writing.

The Mist as I mentioned prior represents Zack's subconscious with it being created undenounced by Zack as a  suppression method for his feminine side. This self destructive mentality, if never realized would of lead Zack to an absolutely miserable life where he would of never been able to express how he really feels without harming his mental health. 

In the end Zack/Zoey are complete again which comes with the disappearance of Haze as he has completed his purpose, to make Zack/Zoey be their true self. This results in the destruction of the subconscious hatred that Zack felt for himself and truly accept that he has become Zoey and if he didn't it would of lead him down a darker path.

TLDR, this game has an amazing representation of ones mental health when faced with becoming something you repressed your entire life.

Thank you for making this game and even if it's not at the front of the priority's list I hope for a continuation on the Alone Route.

Thank you very much, and I'm glad you enjoyed the VN so much to leave such a long comment about it. The game explicitly states almost all of what you are saying with Haze's dialogue, but you're right on the money with it either way.

Hi, is right after the dream with your feminine side the end of the update?

0.13.1 covered Britney's route, not the dream. Check the changelog for this version, the full changelog, or the route flowchart in your game folder or online for details of the pathing available in your version, but the entire VN as of 0.13.1 is about 20 hours long and you're missing a lot of the game if you just do the Alone route.

You made me stop using skip button and i feel like thats really rare. I had this sudden realization that the writing was really good and funny. I dont know what else to say im truely speechless, its a good game i guess lol

Thanks! If you don't mind me asking, where was the "sudden realization" of the game's quality?

At very begining when the AI asked me to get re:Dreamer partner to talk to i choose "mom?" which literally made say "what the fuck this is good" and i remember doing this hysterical giggle on multiple times  afterwards which ended up making me be awake at 4AM being like "i need to go to sleep but plot thickens"

The mom is getting her sprites very soon, btw

MonkaS why does she have a knife and red eyes in one of them! IS SHE EVIL?

No, she's a mentally-ill genius yandere. Check her World Information page out.

Hello, can you elaborate please, I heard the free version is restricted, but what if I paid the min 3$? or how much should I pay for a fully unblocked version? and do I have to pay for every new update?  

The $3 patron tier is for sneak previews of NSFW content and art on the game's Patreon. It offers no in-game benefits. itch.io's button to payment system is a tip jar.

The only things restricted in the free version are features designed for returning players to make returning to the game easier or more interesting but could be overwhelming for a new player.

The features a Patron password provide are (italics is for both $10/month Backers and $20/month Sustainers, bold is only for $20/month Sustainers):

  • In-game C.H.E.A.T.S. adjustment.
  • The full route jump menu to return to previous content (not just the new and edited stuff for a release, which is always available). This is recommended over loading saves as things can break as I update the game and this menu recreates your saves.
  • In-game developer commentary.
  • Saving edits from the sprite viewer to appear in-game (such as Zoey's eye color, hair color, hair style, and outfit).

Additionally, the Sustainer tier gets an update right as it releases, the Backers have to wait 1 month, and the public has to wait 2 months.

Outside of the writing in a new update not existing in an older update that isn't available to the public yet, re:Dreamer will never have story content gated off in its public version just because you didn't pay for it (unless you count the expansive developer commentary as such). This means that this visual novel is free (or shareware, if you want to get into a technicality).

I'm excited for the next updates. This game is so well developed and written and I appreciate the focus on character development and world building.

re dreamer made me cry three times


once when i read through Ai’s “do you want to be her” speech

once on the dinner date with Britney

once when i got to the end of Britney’s route


if I’m being honest, experiencing overwhelming dysphoria and a mental breakdown while playing re dreamer significantly enhanced my playing experience. I don’t think I’ve ever played a game that’s hit as close to home as this one has. honestly, id play it completely independently of any of the lewd content (honestly haven’t even payed attention to the lewd stuff at all for the most part). thank you for making this

By the way "you gotta be the cat" just had me spill coffe on my keyboard when i burst out laughing.

Hey, just tried it and, damn it is good! The writing and the background complexity are crazy. A small comment that i'd make is maybe insist that people go read the  world information early. At the start I thought that it was a long intro and I didn't get that I had access to that and I got very confused with where I was. OK they said Portland, it is in the US Oregon I think, but there is a lot of japanese stuff, so maybe there is  another Portland, or I am completely wrong and Portland is in asia, but hell no I am quite sure it is not!  Where am i? The US or Japan? (I am native from none but lived in the US for a while , and in Asia too, albeit not in Japan at all). It is only when I found out that you had access to world info and that i read it all that I understood that it took place in an uchronia where Japan had invaded a part of the US.

Just to get an idea, to what percentage of the game completion would you say you are, and what do you imagine the full release date to be? I know that these things are really hard to predict while you are still in the creation phase but it is just to get an estimate.

And to say it again. What I read up to now... Damn great! Thx.

Thanks for the warm feedback! Based on the feedback about the World Information, I've brushed up the first two pages of the screen (the one that tells you how to use it) with more current and accurate wording.



I also added "While the World Information is technically optional reading, it contains extensive lore of the setting, character backstories, and more in an extradiegetic encyclopedia that adds much to the rich detail of the game." to the notification the first time you launch the game about the World Information.

I'd estimate re:Dreamer has about 5 years of work left before I consider it "done," but that could change if my health declines (I have what is basically Parkinson's) or if the Rich route gets more complex than I had planned.

Are there plans to release the game in other languages?

Maybe someday, but not until long after the game is finished since I do not trust machine translation in the slightest.

So is there a way to return to former man self? These kind of games usually don't even consider it, so the question is crucial 

There is, but there's a compelling moral reason not to do so that Zach realizes over time, which is that instead of changing back, he can use his wish to permanently shut downwhat is likely a magic sex crime game. With that, Zach's family life improving in ways because he is his parent's daughter instead of their son, and other reasons, chiefly Zach maybe not being a cis male to begin with, firmly leaves the option as a bad end.

Ok, thank you for the answer. I was just curious if there is a game in this genre where main goal is to contain the original self with all the possible temptations and return to it, that would be an interesting concept considering that these games always intend to end in girl form

lol, that's certainly a strong turnaround of an opinion.
To answer the initial question, no, re:Dreamer is not a "going to school simulator." It is a largely linear visual novel with many small variant branches based on the C.H.E.A.T.S. system to add variety to that largely linear story and to change context for why and how things happen. The campus setting is important, but the structure and flow of the visual novel will befocusing on important events of the sixth main months of the story through time skips to certain set pieces (such as a Halloween costume party, home visits, a Christmas Eve date, a spring break trip, and extracurricular activities); providing supplemental context for the setting, those events, and the major characters via the World Information entries; and a brief epilogue for each route that ends shortly after Zach/Zoey graduates to show what has happened in their life after the re:Dreamer season has ended (and they have likely not changed back) and to provide a glimpse of what the rest of their life is going to be like now that they are an adult.
Classes are focused on for the Friday intro day (Zach's last day as Zach), the following Monday (Zach's first day of classes as Zoey), and the briefly in the following Friday (to contrast the difference of the routine that Zach had with the routine that Zoey has). With exceptions given to the first day of classes of the second semester and a potentially compromising transformation in early November that will make maintaining Zoey's disguise as Zach harder, they will otherwise not be focused on in the story of this visual novel.

Honestly, the barrier to entry is too high. I spent half an hour in the game and its still entirely internal monologue about mundane stuff. Just the main character talking about how awesome they are at everything and a bunch of useless information on a variety of subjects. Theres like 6 paragraphs about coffee. It could really use alot of trimming.

It is slightly dense, but Zach is the narrator of the game and that's just how he thinks and talks. He's also not awesome at everything. He's largely puffing himself up with his few genuine skills to feel better because he's lonely and miserable and how much he wishes he wasn't the way he is.
The Awkwardness stat shortens the narration and makes the overall game less verbose, so consider cranking that to 1 or 2 for a more "streamlined" read (even if this game's character is how excessively you get inside Zach's head).

(1 edit) (-1)

Would be awesome if there was someway to influence the character creation. I vastly prefer smaller tits- is a shame because otherwise I love everything about this game but tits bigger than her head kind of ruin it for me :(

(1 edit)

Fun fact: Zoey's sprite artist messed up her breast size ages ago by making them H-Cups when they were supposed to be DD-Cups. My producer and I tried to get him to shrink them, but he didn't really understand what we were asking (he's Indonesia, and while he knows English, it's maybe fair to say that he doesn't fully understand it at times) and made them even larger in one revision, and we ran out of revisions and patience.
I do agree that they're a bit too big, but this game takes a detailed look at what the logistical issues involved with someone suddenly changing the sex of their body and having to hide it and a sort of "buyer's remorse" for Zach to a degree as he might have thought about being a woman but not the consequences of being one, and the breasts being so big draws attention to both.

How to uncensor the game?

(+2)

You already asked basically this question, and my answer is basically the same:
Any censored art is placeholder art in the processed of being replaced with new art. All final art is uncensored.

Wait, is this the game I used to play back when it still using Koikatsu? The Keisuke's route first cutscene still look the same.

(1 edit)

Koikatsu is not used and has never been used for any assets in this game, but some of the art is "borrowed" placeholder art in the process of being replaced. The game did just get a massive update to Keisuke's first CGs with new and replacement art, but that update is not public yet (but will be in about 2 months).

No apk for android??

There is, in the .zip file. Due to the assets this game uses, I have to distribute the licenses for those assets in a .txt file in that .zip file.

Что это значит, что папка не может быть обработана в Android?

Check the .zip file. Due to the assets this game uses, I have to distribute the licenses for those assets in a .txt file in that .zip file.

This made me start listening to blame by Calvin Harris and I love the altered version of the kids aren't alright by the offspring

Can anyone help me how i can download the game on android. I cant bring it download because its a zip file

Using 7zip on your computer or a local Android extractor like Files by Google isn't an option?

Amazing game so far, beatiful art work :)

Just out of curiosity, how long is Britney's story line/route?

Every major route (Britney, Keisuke, Rich) is planned for about 20-25 hours of reading (Rich on the short end of that, Britney in the middle, Keisuke on the long end of that).

Currently, Britney is about... 6 to 8 hours? It's hard to get an accurate length without just turning on auto read and timing it because C.H.E.A.T.S. makes (word count * average English reading speed of 250 WPM) estimations impossible from the micro branches everywhere in the script.

The re:Dreamer in-VN game takes place over 6 months (October 7 2022 to April 6 2023) but there's an epilogue for each route I don't want to get into spoilers here as that was not what was asked, but it will use time skips to very briefly cover the rest of what happens at the 3.5 years of college for Zach (or Zoey) and the route partner, a little after graduation, and setting the stage and tone for what this character's life is going to be like from now on and their trajectory into the future.

If you do want to heavily spoil yourself for Keisuke route, this outline and this outline show an excessively detailed plan over the main game and the epilogue which you could use as the framework for understanding how Britney's route would be presented over that same period of time.

tl;dr 20-25 hours planned planned for her route, 6-8 hours of which currently exist.

(+1)

Thank you, I appreciate the answer, I don’t plan on spoiling it. I’d rather just wait, and experience it then.

Still a good game with a lot of replayability and different routes. And a pretty long playthrough it would seem : ) which is always a nice thing.

This game made me re-think my entire identity

You normally need to have a Sustainer patron password from the game's Patreon, but this 3rd anniversary release has that unlocked for everyone

Yes, 0.11.0 has that feature for everyone, unlike 0.10.10 where it is a patron-only feature.

...

I don't know how to say this.

The AI's speech on the "same age girl, a bit smarter" the protagonist is waiting for kinda... got me realizing some things about myself.

...Thank you ?

(+3)

This game kind of does that to people... I hope you end up happier with this knowledge and your trials after this go smoothly

Thanks a lot, again! <3

im finding some problems opening the game, and it shuts down a few dialogues in, did this happen to anyone else?

What version and platform are you playing on, and does the game not even start or does it crash into playing the game?

version 0.10.10, platform windows and it crashes soon after hitting start game

Do you have an errors or traceback file in the game folder you can post for me to help you diagnosis this? If not, try to delete the game folder and reinstall it (don't worry; saves are stored in your appdata folder and won't be deleted)

Following up on this. Did 0.11.0 fix your issue?

I'm really enjoy this game,keep up the work and i'll waiting for the new update 

Keep up the good work!

Is there a way to directly update to new versions or is it a fresh install every time?

It should be able to work with the itch app to only download changed files, but due to how the game files are archived, you might end up redownloading a decent portion of the game.

(+1)

ooh this looks really cool!! i love how a character can be customized with their choices so this game sounds right up my alley! plus attractive girls so <3 well done DTSDevs!

is the rich route not in the game yet or is it a patrons thing?

Not in the game yet because we don't have sprites for him

thanks for the reply

Can u make download link without Mega? I'm sick of that apps

(+2)

The game is too large for the file size limit of the itch.io servers; alternative download links to MediaFire can be found on TFGS.

thanks, i'll try it

You should be able to download the game in the itch.io app now

Would love to play the game but there is no option to install it from the itch.io app

(+1)

I unfortunately haven't really been able to get the itch.io app stuff to work, but I'll keep trying!

Could you possibly change the android ver from zip to APK?

The APK is inside of the zip file you scallywag

The ZIP comes with stuff that has to be distributed with the game, such as credits for a bunch of the audio file, and stuff that is helpful for players, such as a changelog txt and flowchart.

Pretty nice game, I liked the idea and art as well keep up the good work! 

👍

Love it! But, how come a certain part of your body is censored during nsfw scenes? But for real, I usually delete games after finishing what's available but I may keep this one and wait on the next update lol

The game still has a decent bit of placeholder art taken from Japanese visual novels (which are generally censored), but all of it slowly being replaced with final commissioned art that is roughly the same, except uncensored.
If you want to weigh in on which placeholder art should be replaced first, there's an active poll on the game's Patreon page about exactly that subject.
For an example of the art style we're targeting, the shower sex scenes with Keisuke and the measuring scene with Britney were commissioned for this game and are uncensored.

I'll definitely be keeping up with the updates on this game! I enjoy the art, story and the game itself.

During the female friend route, the first night they "get together" it says we can't see it because the art for it isn't done... Will you be adding that so we can replay the first night they stay together? 

Down the line, but our artists are unfortunately pretty slow...
