Ok, so I have held back in asking because I almost always prefer to figure things out for myself!! However, the more I read your amazing story, the more I have to ask one simple, yet loaded, question!! Is Nagisa a prophet??
Have you ever considered a career as a screenwriter or a show runner!! The more I read, the more I catch your subtle genius!! Nagisa?? A squirrel?? A bunny who saw his own death?? Oh man!!
I have not, no. Being a game dev is my career of choice. :P If you like subtle details, CH is exactly the game for you. I especially enjoy hiding things in plain sight that you only catch in a second playthrough. :D Thanks for your kind words again, compadre!
Excuse me I love this game and the music are incredible and really immersive. Please I would like to know if there is a downloadable soundtrack. And again the game is insane!!!
Thanks a lot! I really appreciate your kind words. :) There is no downloadable soundtrack per se, but there is a folder with all the audio files used in the game.
The story is getting better and better and I just hate to wait for the next update!
Just two questions: Will Miri be back any time soon? She's by far not my favorite character,but I like her pretty much,nonetheless and second: do you like Bourbon? Claws says,she wants some WhisKEY after the job is done, but since the story is located in Japan, I would have expected, she'd prefer a good Whisky, especially since there are many very good Single Malts out there from Japan?
Anyway, keep up this fantastic work! It's really outstanding!
Miri is going to come up in the next update, yeah, although only via text message for now. Anything beyond that I'll let you find out in the update itself.
As for Claws: She's gotten into whiskey through Morrigan (who swears on the Irish stuff) and ever since prefers it over the local whisky. :P
Myself? I don't drink any alcohol, so I don't really have an opinion on what alcohol tastes good.
Thanks for your comment and your praise! I'm very happy to hear that you enjoy CH so much. :)
As a Scottsman and an avid whiskey drinker most of the more popular Japanese Whiskeys are closer to Scotch, and there are a lot of worse western whiskeys than Suntory or Nikka.
I usually have Suntory Single in the cabinet. It isn't as smooth as a MacAllan or a GlenDronach Revival but what is.
I just finished the new update!! You dirty, dirty, DIRTY tease!! You certainly have perfected the art of the cliffhanger haven't you?? I haven't decided if I no longer like you, or if I like you even more lol!! Great work as always!!
Haha, thank you. Look at it like this: Wanting to know how the story continues, with heightened anticipation thanks to the cliffhanger, makes the next update even more enjoyable. So, by teasing you with a cliffhanger, I'm enhancing your future experiences. And with that in mind, I'd argue you should like me more. :P
So, I never like to ask artists of the written and visual media about their work!! I enjoy trying to figure things out on my own!! However, I've read through many times and have one question I can't get out of my head about the story!! So I have to ask, why is Suzu not listed amongst the main or side cast?? It makes me concerned for her safety!!
*face palm* I probably shouldn't admit this, it's going to make me sound stupid and foolish; but I never tried to scroll down!! I tried side to side but never down!! Now, my inner Pollock is showing!! Oy vey!!
Hehe. Don't worry about it, these things happen. Sometimes your mind is so preoccupied with other things (like worrying about a certain princess) that obvious stuff goes amiss. :P
I've said it before, but this story/game is amazing!! No matter how many times I read/play, there are always parts that will hit the feels and mist the eyes!! I agree about the anime movie, however, too bad I'm not a producer because I would bet heavily on turning your story into a TV show!! Anime or live action!! Though, live action comes with it's own drawbacks!!
Ahhh, the praise! Thank you, friend! I'm not sure that live action would be a good pick for CH, to be honest. Although, I have to admit that I'm kinda curious about the actresses for the girls. :D
olha ja faz uma semana que estou jogando esse jogo e digo uma coisa você esta de parabéns cara que jogo bom continue assim e digo que ja sou fã do seu trabalho e mais uma coisa eu sou seu fã numero 1 do brasil. continue assim que você vai long
I wonder. Were any of the cast planned to be a different Myth than what they are currently?
Say for example, Claws. Her abilities as a Panther Myth help her with her roles in security greatly, but maybe she was initially going to be a Minotaur for their ridiculous strength. That sort of thing
i can honestly say i wish i had found this game in a couple years that way it would be closer to being done if not done already. love the story hate the cliffhangers
P.S. you are an amazing writer i would probably read this a just a book as well
Thank you so much! I wish I could spare you from the cliffhangers (okay, I'm lying, I kind of enjoy them) but sadly this takes a while. Glad to hear that you found CH at all, though, and that you enjoyed playing it! :)
Found the game couple days ago and just finished the last update. Thanks cliffhanger, you killed me.
You've managed to create multiple likeable characters and raise in animation quality was amazing. I might have to join your Patreon for next update, keep up the good work! :P
Thanks a lot! Glad to hear that the improvements in quality are noticeable. :) Next update's probably going to be done by the weekend, but I'll make a post on here with a release schedule when I know for certain. :)
Wow!! New update is fantastic!! Writing and story are delightful as always!! Graphics and visuals continue to be top notch for this animation style!! Since CH is FAR more romantic than erotic, in my humble opinion, my, entirely subjective, review will be out of 5 hearts instead of 5 lil swimmers!!
Writing: 4.8 hearts
Story: 5 hearts easily
Animation: 4.8 hearts
Desire to re-read/re-play: 5 hearts
Angus' total review(what little it is worth lol): 4.9/5.0 hearts
I know its a really dumb issue to have all things considered... BUT... in what fucking world is 25% a "small" tip and 100% is ONLY a "big" tip. Literally unplayable smh.
Legit thought it might have been a cultural thing for some places haha. For the record, my reaction was also meant to be satirical (although my confusion/curiosity was genuine).
I was undecided between you being sarcastic and you being a dick, to be honest, but I'm glad to see that my gut feeling was right and it was just conversation via internet being hard again. Damn lack of inflection in written conversation. :P
Anyway, those tip numbers would be horrible, yeah. But the tipping system is nasty in general. Decidedly not a fan of it.
in my defense, I was under the impression that "literally unplayable" was a well known joke statement, among gamers, and was hoping that would do the heavy lifting of showing sarcasm
That makes it unplayable?? Perhaps you cannot look past your...frugal nature to see that others don't necessarily view material wealth the same way you do!!
Nope, lol. Next one's going to be even worse. :P Please don't kill me, though. I kind of need to be alive to continue making CH. Also, I kind of like being alive. Most of the time. :D
Hello, I love your game but I must ask in case I am the one who is wrong, does the game end when we go to school in the afternoon? I mean, when the "bad monster" attacks us?
because I've completed the game in like 10 different ways and it always gives me the same ending and it's a shame that a game that was so fond of its story ends like this :(
Hi there! It seems like you're playing on an older version of CH. Namely v0.9, I believe. By now we're up to v0.22 here on Itch, so you've got 13 updates worth of content to play through still. I'd suggest downloading the game from here again and unpacking it into a fresh folder. Make sure it says "CrimsonHigh-0.22.1-pc.zip" (or -mac or -android, depending on your platform) and then you should be good to go! I wouldn't end CH on that scene. :P
Just finished Chapter 1 and honestly the writing surprised me with how good it was. At first glance this may seem like just another Koikatsu AVN but its so much deeper and well written than the average you see here on Itch. So much attention to detail in the character models and environments helps elevate the already fantastic story. Its also refreshing to play an AVN that isn't all about porking your "landlady" and "roommates" and instead takes you on an adventure. Definitely worth the download, thanks for all the hard work Vertigo! Its definitely noticed and appreciated.
Thank you! Yeah, I do love CH, too. It's a passion project unlike anything I've done before. Thanks for sticking around and continuously playing it. :)
This game is freaking awesome! The writing is great and the characters are fantastic! The humor is spot on as well! Easily one of my favorite adult VN!
For anyone on the fence looking to the comments to see if it's worth it to invest your precious time and hard drive space for an unfinished visual novel, go no further - it is 100% worth it.
Crimson High is my favorite linear visual novel I've ever experienced, and it's updated regularly enough that you're never waiting too long for the next chunk of story - though Vert is a master of ending every update with a horrible cliffhanger that hooks you in and makes 100% sure that you'll be waiting for that next sweet, sweet update.
For anyone looking for lots of H-content, there currently is a decent amount, though it is decently spaced out to make way for tons of beautiful worldbuilding, wholesome moments, romantic scenes, and plenty of character building.
hey what I will saying is only a fantasy but maybe an idea for you
Maybe some day it comes an war between all humane that are hunting myths and the MC awakens some power in him that can bring peace but before that he must train, difficult choices to answer and maybe Miko is a weapon that the hunters need to use to destroy the myths.
Thank you so much! I don't know if anyone ever told you this, but Crimson High would make the most amazing anime! Ho! And i absolutely love (Jun)!I can'twait to see how her ark continues!
Hello good sir, just checking if your uploading v0.22.1 today as you said it will go public on the 10th. Aside from that thanks for the awesome story and all of your hard work! I feel like a kid on Christmas day whenever a new update is out!
Haha, I'm happy to hear that! And yes, the update will be out shortly (more or less, depending on how fast the upload's going to be :P)! Thank you for your kind words and for playing CH. :)
It doesn't really effect the game whatsoever, but I figured I'd let you know anyways. During most of the scenes on Android it's like clips of past scenes glitch and layover on to the new ones like this. Of course it could just be a glitch on my end. But, I'm enjoying it immensely! Keep up the awesome work!
Yeah, that's a bug with the hamsters that I accidentally introduced in the last version. It got fixed on PC already for 0.21 and is now fixed for all versions of 0.22.
Thanks for letting me know anyway, though! I appreciate that. :)
you know how you have music credits in the about section? love that its there, hate how messy it is to read and use to find the songs. any chance you have another track list somewhere? couldnt find a few songs from the VN id love to hunt down.long live crimson high keep it up : )
Haha, yeah it's awful to read, isn't it? I gotta clean that up at some point. Don't really have a track list or anything like that but if you let me know what scene the song(s) was/were playing in, I'll look it up for you. Provided it's not all of them you wanna know. :P
nah not all i think i found most. think im down to the ones in yukari's drinking game slash science experiment lol, waking up to suzu and daisy, picking the athlete with kagome, and pretty much most of the ori beach trip. that counts as not all of them i think? not my fault you are killing it on the soundtrack on top of the story, characters, etc :P cheers
Haha, sure I'll look them up. Drinking game: Karl Casey - Slice of Paradise Waking up to Suzu/Daisy (first night she stays over, I assume?): Darren Curtis - The Corporation Picking an athlete: Roa - Memories Beach trip: Bunch of stock music with no attribution, but I'll give you the song titles anyway. "spanish-beach-109195", "kalimba-beach-party-music-3342", "lo-fi-1_04-15745", "tropical-music-all-of-u-129834", "sunlights-and-coconuts-8888", "bossa-in-my-heart-13187", "island-beach-3854", "summer-surf-120252", "staycation-118405". Not sure how much you can do with those but yeah, there you go. :P Glad to hear that you're enjoying the music in CH. :D
right on the scene with suzu/daisy but wrong song, like literally waking up 'something urges me to wake up" that 1. i think it also plays at the beach talking to kagome and miko in the ocean if that helps. also right on the drinking game 1 but my bad realized there was 3 songs in that one was curious about the track playing when we get...lets say closer to yukari lolol :P i think its been in other scenes too. regardless, ill quit bugging you after this ahah your too kind gracias
Ahhh, that Suzu/Daisy song should be "LoFi - River Background". As for the Yukari drinking game one.. well, depending which stage of getting closer you mean, it could be either "Formalin Fetus" (when MC asks her that question for 6 shots), or "Purrple Cat - Wild Strawberry" (when Yukari suggests an experiment in the name of science). I assume it's the latter, though, from what you said. No worries. Enjoy the great songs by those talented artists! :)
Yeah, but if you're just in it for the porn, you might as well not play it because the game takes its time to get to the "good parts". So far there's less than 10 scenes in the game. Just as a heads up.
Well I'm always looking for something new and I don't play these just for the porn but to see the gameplay and character development seeing as there are only 9 or 8 scenes however means this one will be short oh well ig I can keep looking until something new is made or if this updates can't really say I'm looking for a challenge bc vn's usually aren't but they are a lot of work especially if you have to grind a lot I can only imagine a game like this as it is would only cause edging and that's not for everyone
Well, I don't know about it being short. It's just not a porn game per se, because I like to build up the relationships first and we're just now slowly getting to the part where the MC gets close enough to the girls My suggestion would be to just give it a try if you like character development, because that's one of the things I pay a lot of attention to in CH. As for grind.. there is none. Neither is there edging, I'd say. Teasing, maybe, but that's not intentional and rather a byproduct of the story and how things are going between the MC and the girls.
bruh you cant do me like that, its just getting good!! i knew this is one to watch out for an intended to wait but damn my weak resistance to temptation XD
I have to admit, i dont have much in terms of expectations for games of this nature but you have really done something amazing here. the story, the characters, everything is a cut above. a job very very well done mate, i cant wait to see where this goes. incidentally, from a story perspective, how far in is the latest update?
Haha, oops! I guess now you'll have to play the next update, too. :P
Thank you for your kind words! I do try my best to make CH something special and I guess being passionate about it pays off, too. :)
As for the story.. well, this is of course not a final answer but I do plan for 9 chapters. Since we're now early in chapter 3, we're somewhere between 25-30% of the overall story. But we'll have to wait and see what'll happen in the future. :P
Aaaaaaand…. he did it again! Another cliffhanger at a crucial time… Now I know why people always were mad at me when I used to write and ended chapters with cliffhangers 😅
Now I’m gonna replay all the game and hunt for those hamsters I missed…. until the next update, at least 😉

Ok, so I have held back in asking because I almost always prefer to figure things out for myself!! However, the more I read your amazing story, the more I have to ask one simple, yet loaded, question!! Is Nagisa a prophet??
A prophet of the coming king before yyou ask!!
That will remain my secret for now. Can't give all of them away here, otherwise I won't have any left for the game. :P
Have you ever considered a career as a screenwriter or a show runner!! The more I read, the more I catch your subtle genius!! Nagisa?? A squirrel?? A bunny who saw his own death?? Oh man!!
I have not, no. Being a game dev is my career of choice. :P
If you like subtle details, CH is exactly the game for you. I especially enjoy hiding things in plain sight that you only catch in a second playthrough. :D
Thanks for your kind words again, compadre!
you are very welcome!!
Subtlety is VERY underrated and underappreciated in a modern society that hits like a sledgehammer!!
I definitely agree. Some things just work better when implied or hinted at. Makes it even more rewarding when you figure them out/spot them. :P
Excuse me I love this game and the music are incredible and really immersive. Please I would like to know if there is a downloadable soundtrack. And again the game is insane!!!
Thanks a lot! I really appreciate your kind words. :)
There is no downloadable soundtrack per se, but there is a folder with all the audio files used in the game.
Thanks a lot for taking the time to answer.
Ooooh this agony!!! You're really killing me ;-)
The story is getting better and better and I just hate to wait for the next update!
Just two questions: Will Miri be back any time soon? She's by far not my favorite character,but I like her pretty much,nonetheless and second: do you like Bourbon? Claws says,she wants some WhisKEY after the job is done, but since the story is located in Japan, I would have expected, she'd prefer a good Whisky, especially since there are many very good Single Malts out there from Japan?
Anyway, keep up this fantastic work! It's really outstanding!
Miri is going to come up in the next update, yeah, although only via text message for now. Anything beyond that I'll let you find out in the update itself.
As for Claws: She's gotten into whiskey through Morrigan (who swears on the Irish stuff) and ever since prefers it over the local whisky. :P
Myself? I don't drink any alcohol, so I don't really have an opinion on what alcohol tastes good.
Thanks for your comment and your praise! I'm very happy to hear that you enjoy CH so much. :)
As a Scottsman and an avid whiskey drinker most of the more popular Japanese Whiskeys are closer to Scotch, and there are a lot of worse western whiskeys than Suntory or Nikka.
I usually have Suntory Single in the cabinet. It isn't as smooth as a MacAllan or a GlenDronach Revival but what is.
Also great work so far.
Thank you for the insight! If the topic comes up in CH, I might use it to enhance Claws'/Morrigan's dialogue. :P
And thanks for your kind words. :)
A Scot eh?? Irish whiskey will ALWAYS be superior!!
i love the intensity of the house that you made, made me shake with anxiety and anger at whats going on there. Good job man! Keep up the amazing work!
Thanks a lot! :)
just seen this has updated and now I'm wishing the download would hurry up lol, I'm late to the update
ok caught up and that has to be the most infuriating cliffhanger yet, I grudgingly love it
Right?? I said I hadn't decided if I no longer liked them after that or if I liked them even more!!
Heh. Sorry to tease you (not really, I'm enjoying it), but I'm glad you enjoyed it nonetheless. :P
I just finished the new update!! You dirty, dirty, DIRTY tease!! You certainly have perfected the art of the cliffhanger haven't you?? I haven't decided if I no longer like you, or if I like you even more lol!! Great work as always!!
Haha, thank you. Look at it like this: Wanting to know how the story continues, with heightened anticipation thanks to the cliffhanger, makes the next update even more enjoyable. So, by teasing you with a cliffhanger, I'm enhancing your future experiences. And with that in mind, I'd argue you should like me more. :P
oh I agree!! I call it the drumroll!!
Hehe
So, I never like to ask artists of the written and visual media about their work!! I enjoy trying to figure things out on my own!! However, I've read through many times and have one question I can't get out of my head about the story!! So I have to ask, why is Suzu not listed amongst the main or side cast?? It makes me concerned for her safety!!
Nani?!
I know right??
You're talking about the phone, right? For me she's there.
Silly question, but did you scroll down in the main cast menu? :P
In case you did and she's not between Okami, Yui, and Yukari, is there a locked icon instead? Or does it just skip from Reina to Yui?
*face palm* I probably shouldn't admit this, it's going to make me sound stupid and foolish; but I never tried to scroll down!! I tried side to side but never down!! Now, my inner Pollock is showing!! Oy vey!!
I swear I'm not as unintelligent as that makes me seem!! I just have a tendency to overlook the obvious and complicate things unnecessarily!!
Hehe. Don't worry about it, these things happen. Sometimes your mind is so preoccupied with other things (like worrying about a certain princess) that obvious stuff goes amiss. :P
yeah well your story is helps me take my mind of off real world problems!! Ones that will never go away unfortunately!!
I ALMOST DIED BECAUSE OF HINAS,, DADDY" XD YOU WERE ABOUT TO KILL ME XD
Hehe
DONT EVER DO THAT AGAIN XD
Can't promise anything :D
okay XD it was funny yea XD but it killed me AS th MC was going out XD
Glad to hear that it was as funny for you as it was for me :P
I've said it before, but this story/game is amazing!! No matter how many times I read/play, there are always parts that will hit the feels and mist the eyes!! I agree about the anime movie, however, too bad I'm not a producer because I would bet heavily on turning your story into a TV show!! Anime or live action!!

Ahhh, the praise! Thank you, friend!
I'm not sure that live action would be a good pick for CH, to be honest. Although, I have to admit that I'm kinda curious about the actresses for the girls. :D
My thoughts exactly!!
olha ja faz uma semana que estou jogando esse jogo e digo uma coisa você esta de parabéns cara que jogo bom continue assim e digo que ja sou fã do seu trabalho e mais uma coisa eu sou seu fã numero 1 do brasil. continue assim que você vai long
Hey, thanks, amigo! Glad to hear that you enjoy it so much!
Cheers to Brazil! :)
yuu totally threw me off
I wonder. Were any of the cast planned to be a different Myth than what they are currently?
Say for example, Claws. Her abilities as a Panther Myth help her with her roles in security greatly, but maybe she was initially going to be a Minotaur for their ridiculous strength. That sort of thing
There were a couple, yeah. I don't think any of them have their Myth types revealed yet, so I can't give you any examples just yet, sadly. :(
Aw, fair enough. Story for another time then!
Yeah, at some point within the next 10 updates :D
i can honestly say i wish i had found this game in a couple years that way it would be closer to being done if not done already. love the story hate the cliffhangers
P.S. you are an amazing writer i would probably read this a just a book as well
Thank you so much!
I wish I could spare you from the cliffhangers (okay, I'm lying, I kind of enjoy them) but sadly this takes a while.
Glad to hear that you found CH at all, though, and that you enjoyed playing it! :)
i honestly cant say they make not worth it because it totally is
Thank you kindly :)
I would love watching this as an anime movie
I would love making this into an anime movie. Maybe at some point in the future. :)
That's awesome to hear, though!
Found the game couple days ago and just finished the last update. Thanks cliffhanger, you killed me.
You've managed to create multiple likeable characters and raise in animation quality was amazing. I might have to join your Patreon for next update, keep up the good work! :P
Thanks a lot! Glad to hear that the improvements in quality are noticeable. :)
Next update's probably going to be done by the weekend, but I'll make a post on here with a release schedule when I know for certain. :)
Though I will say, for some odd yet compelling reason, MORE NENE!!
Hehe, soon. We're getting there. :P
its not just me i thougt i was alone
Nah, Nene is a cutie
Wow!! New update is fantastic!! Writing and story are delightful as always!! Graphics and visuals continue to be top notch for this animation style!! Since CH is FAR more romantic than erotic, in my humble opinion, my, entirely subjective, review will be out of 5 hearts instead of 5 lil swimmers!!
Writing: 4.8 hearts
Story: 5 hearts easily
Animation: 4.8 hearts
Desire to re-read/re-play: 5 hearts
Angus' total review(what little it is worth lol): 4.9/5.0 hearts
Hey, thanks a lot, man! That's an amazing review :)
I really appreciate your kind words!
just telling it like it is my friend, objectively speaking as both a literary nut and...well, honestly, a bit of a perv lol!!
Not only that, but the interaction between the mc suzu literally friggin melts my heart every..time!! There is no choice!!
Hehe, I see you can appreciate some cuteness. Yeah, MC and Suzu are great with each other. I love writing for them, too. :)
You seem to know the subtle differences between romanticism and eroticism without them being mutually exclusive!!
I try my best :P
I know its a really dumb issue to have all things considered... BUT... in what fucking world is 25% a "small" tip and 100% is ONLY a "big" tip. Literally unplayable smh.
Ever heard of satire, friend?
Legit thought it might have been a cultural thing for some places haha. For the record, my reaction was also meant to be satirical (although my confusion/curiosity was genuine).
I was undecided between you being sarcastic and you being a dick, to be honest, but I'm glad to see that my gut feeling was right and it was just conversation via internet being hard again. Damn lack of inflection in written conversation. :P
Anyway, those tip numbers would be horrible, yeah. But the tipping system is nasty in general. Decidedly not a fan of it.
Perhaps I, as well, was too quick to judge!! I apologize!! Conversation without expression is difficult!!
in my defense, I was under the impression that "literally unplayable" was a well known joke statement, among gamers, and was hoping that would do the heavy lifting of showing sarcasm
That makes it unplayable?? Perhaps you cannot look past your...frugal nature to see that others don't necessarily view material wealth the same way you do!!
BROO XD i swear to god i will kill you someday XD STOP THE CLIFF PLS XD
Nope, lol. Next one's going to be even worse. :P
Please don't kill me, though. I kind of need to be alive to continue making CH. Also, I kind of like being alive. Most of the time. :D
not worse plsssss one time end in a not so exciting sceneXD
But if I can have a Job i will buy patreon from you XD and then I have easier gameplay ^^
There were a couple updates that ended with everyone just going to bed. That's pretty unexciting, no? :D
Ha, I don't know about easier, but I'll take it anyway. Thanks, friend :)
I will let you end your story maybe I will not kill you XD
Haha, too kind of you
yup its me XD
but naah I will be easier in the future so I dont need to wait so long XD
Hehe. Well, if you insist, feel free. I'd appreciate it :)
Darth Vader saying NOoooooooo.
Why the cliff hanger why
Because.
Meanie... also Nagisa wedding when??
What do you mean "wedding"? She's already MC's wife. :P
Kana will remember this.
Hehe
GOOD LORD NOT ANOTHER CLIFF HANGER! WHY?!?! ITS TOO GOOD
I DON'T KNOW! THEY JUST KEEP HAPPENING! PLS SEND HELP! (Glad to hear you enjoyed it!)
Beep Boop So edgy
Hello, I love your game but I must ask in case I am the one who is wrong, does the game end when we go to school in the afternoon? I mean, when the "bad monster" attacks us?
because I've completed the game in like 10 different ways and it always gives me the same ending and it's a shame that a game that was so fond of its story ends like this :(
i personally havent gotten there yet but there is an update coming next week so its probably a cliffhanger
Hi there! It seems like you're playing on an older version of CH. Namely v0.9, I believe. By now we're up to v0.22 here on Itch, so you've got 13 updates worth of content to play through still. I'd suggest downloading the game from here again and unpacking it into a fresh folder. Make sure it says "CrimsonHigh-0.22.1-pc.zip" (or -mac or -android, depending on your platform) and then you should be good to go!
I wouldn't end CH on that scene. :P
Just finished Chapter 1 and honestly the writing surprised me with how good it was. At first glance this may seem like just another Koikatsu AVN but its so much deeper and well written than the average you see here on Itch. So much attention to detail in the character models and environments helps elevate the already fantastic story. Its also refreshing to play an AVN that isn't all about porking your "landlady" and "roommates" and instead takes you on an adventure. Definitely worth the download, thanks for all the hard work Vertigo! Its definitely noticed and appreciated.
Dang, that's so nice of you! Thank you, friend! It's nice to hear that these things don't go unnoticed. :)
by the way, is the end of chapter 3 the last thing available in the free version currently?
We're currently somewhere in the middle of chapter 3 in the public version :)
The commitment you have to this is amazing. Been following and playing for while now. Absolutely love it.
Thank you! Yeah, I do love CH, too. It's a passion project unlike anything I've done before.
Thanks for sticking around and continuously playing it. :)
Kana for Waifu of the Year!
This game is freaking awesome! The writing is great and the characters are fantastic! The humor is spot on as well! Easily one of my favorite adult VN!
Thank you so much! I love to hear that! :)
What did you use to make the characters and backgrounds?
CharaStudio from Koikatsu
For anyone on the fence looking to the comments to see if it's worth it to invest your precious time and hard drive space for an unfinished visual novel, go no further - it is 100% worth it.
Crimson High is my favorite linear visual novel I've ever experienced, and it's updated regularly enough that you're never waiting too long for the next chunk of story - though Vert is a master of ending every update with a horrible cliffhanger that hooks you in and makes 100% sure that you'll be waiting for that next sweet, sweet update.
For anyone looking for lots of H-content, there currently is a decent amount, though it is decently spaced out to make way for tons of beautiful worldbuilding, wholesome moments, romantic scenes, and plenty of character building.
Quoth best girl.
Wow, what a comment! Thank you so much, Tloor!
hey what I will saying is only a fantasy but maybe an idea for you
Maybe some day it comes an war between all humane that are hunting myths and the MC awakens some power in him that can bring peace but before that he must train, difficult choices to answer and maybe Miko is a weapon that the hunters need to use to destroy the myths.
I know its just fantasy but can maybe happen XD
Or maybe you've unknowingly uncovered the story of CH. I guess we will have to wait and find out if you did. :D
Thank you so much! I don't know if anyone ever told you this, but Crimson High would make the most amazing anime! Ho! And i absolutely love (Jun)!I can'twait to see how her ark continues!
You're welcome! I think you're the first one to mention that. :P
Jun is so adorable, isn't she? :D
Thank you for your kind words. :)
Hello good sir, just checking if your uploading v0.22.1 today as you said it will go public on the 10th. Aside from that thanks for the awesome story and all of your hard work! I feel like a kid on Christmas day whenever a new update is out!
Haha, I'm happy to hear that! And yes, the update will be out shortly (more or less, depending on how fast the upload's going to be :P)!
Thank you for your kind words and for playing CH. :)
There you go. :P
Does this Game have sex scenes ?
BTW I heard that the plot in this Game is very good so right ?
It does, yes.
As for the plot/story.. well, people seem to like it so far. :)
Tha game hasn't finished yet right ?
Correct!
thanks for your answers
And last question how many sex scenes are in The game yet and how many girls ?
It doesn't really effect the game whatsoever, but I figured I'd let you know anyways. During most of the scenes on Android it's like clips of past scenes glitch and layover on to the new ones like this. Of course it could just be a glitch on my end. But, I'm enjoying it immensely! Keep up the awesome work!
Yeah, that's a bug with the hamsters that I accidentally introduced in the last version. It got fixed on PC already for 0.21 and is now fixed for all versions of 0.22.
Thanks for letting me know anyway, though! I appreciate that. :)
you know how you have music credits in the about section? love that its there, hate how messy it is to read and use to find the songs. any chance you have another track list somewhere? couldnt find a few songs from the VN id love to hunt down.long live crimson high keep it up : )
Haha, yeah it's awful to read, isn't it? I gotta clean that up at some point.
Don't really have a track list or anything like that but if you let me know what scene the song(s) was/were playing in, I'll look it up for you. Provided it's not all of them you wanna know. :P
nah not all i think i found most. think im down to the ones in yukari's drinking game slash science experiment lol, waking up to suzu and daisy, picking the athlete with kagome, and pretty much most of the ori beach trip. that counts as not all of them i think? not my fault you are killing it on the soundtrack on top of the story, characters, etc :P cheers
Haha, sure I'll look them up.
Drinking game: Karl Casey - Slice of Paradise
Waking up to Suzu/Daisy (first night she stays over, I assume?): Darren Curtis - The Corporation
Picking an athlete: Roa - Memories
Beach trip: Bunch of stock music with no attribution, but I'll give you the song titles anyway. "spanish-beach-109195", "kalimba-beach-party-music-3342", "lo-fi-1_04-15745", "tropical-music-all-of-u-129834", "sunlights-and-coconuts-8888", "bossa-in-my-heart-13187", "island-beach-3854", "summer-surf-120252", "staycation-118405".
Not sure how much you can do with those but yeah, there you go. :P
Glad to hear that you're enjoying the music in CH. :D
right on the scene with suzu/daisy but wrong song, like literally waking up 'something urges me to wake up" that 1. i think it also plays at the beach talking to kagome and miko in the ocean if that helps. also right on the drinking game 1 but my bad realized there was 3 songs in that one was curious about the track playing when we get...lets say closer to yukari lolol :P i think its been in other scenes too. regardless, ill quit bugging you after this ahah your too kind gracias
Ahhh, that Suzu/Daisy song should be "LoFi - River Background".
As for the Yukari drinking game one.. well, depending which stage of getting closer you mean, it could be either "Formalin Fetus" (when MC asks her that question for 6 shots), or "Purrple Cat - Wild Strawberry" (when Yukari suggests an experiment in the name of science). I assume it's the latter, though, from what you said.
No worries. Enjoy the great songs by those talented artists! :)
will it have multiple endings?
btw love the game.
Probably, yeah.
Thank you!
Is this a nsfw or no?
Yeah, but if you're just in it for the porn, you might as well not play it because the game takes its time to get to the "good parts". So far there's less than 10 scenes in the game. Just as a heads up.
Well I'm always looking for something new and I don't play these just for the porn but to see the gameplay and character development seeing as there are only 9 or 8 scenes however means this one will be short oh well ig I can keep looking until something new is made or if this updates can't really say I'm looking for a challenge bc vn's usually aren't but they are a lot of work especially if you have to grind a lot I can only imagine a game like this as it is would only cause edging and that's not for everyone
But the full game is worth looking forward to
Well, I don't know about it being short. It's just not a porn game per se, because I like to build up the relationships first and we're just now slowly getting to the part where the MC gets close enough to the girls
My suggestion would be to just give it a try if you like character development, because that's one of the things I pay a lot of attention to in CH.
As for grind.. there is none. Neither is there edging, I'd say. Teasing, maybe, but that's not intentional and rather a byproduct of the story and how things are going between the MC and the girls.
bruh you cant do me like that, its just getting good!! i knew this is one to watch out for an intended to wait but damn my weak resistance to temptation XD
I have to admit, i dont have much in terms of expectations for games of this nature but you have really done something amazing here. the story, the characters, everything is a cut above. a job very very well done mate, i cant wait to see where this goes. incidentally, from a story perspective, how far in is the latest update?
Haha, oops! I guess now you'll have to play the next update, too. :P
Thank you for your kind words! I do try my best to make CH something special and I guess being passionate about it pays off, too. :)
As for the story.. well, this is of course not a final answer but I do plan for 9 chapters. Since we're now early in chapter 3, we're somewhere between 25-30% of the overall story. But we'll have to wait and see what'll happen in the future. :P
chapter 3 and its this good already? man i cant wait to see the rest then :D
Haha, thank you! :)
Aaaaaaand…. he did it again! Another cliffhanger at a crucial time… Now I know why people always were mad at me when I used to write and ended chapters with cliffhangers 😅 Now I’m gonna replay all the game and hunt for those hamsters I missed…. until the next update, at least 😉
Hehe! :D
Being at the receiving end of those is way worse than to create them, eh?
Hope you enjoyed it anyway and have fun hunting those tiny rodents!
