Damn I love this game, this might actually be the first porn game where I came for smut but stayed for the story...and this proved to me why I hate stories that aren't completed yet, since now I have to wait for the next update, and I'm just impatient XD
Kinda just wanna get my thoughts out there. I haven't gotten too far into this game just yet, but I'm already a little put off with how no one takes anything about this murder case seriously and just how incompetent the MC is as a detective. Like, if the premise wasn't so heavy it'd probably be fine, but as it is it kinda breaks my immersion.
Hey there, Mr. Vertigo. It's been a while since I played Crimson high last so I decided to come back to it and now share my thoughts again.
I'll start with a couple of the more important things:
Firstly, I forgot to mention this last time but I really wish you would find another model for the boar. To put it in a politically correct way: it's not a good look for you to use the current one.
Secondly, I have to say that I personally am not a fan of the "floating tongue" thing in the Suzu scene. I really don't like detached or invisible body parts during sex scenes. If it were up to me, I'd leave the scene as is and just remove the tongue or shoot it from a different angle. Obviously, that's just my opinion and you have others to cater to, as well as your own preferences, but I thought there's no harm in sharing it.
Aside from that, there's a bit of inconsistency with lightning. There was a least one scene where it's visibly nighttime but then you switch to that "blurry apartment image" that displays daylight, possibly even switching back to night again afterwards. I believe this happens more than once and possibly in a location other than Ren's apartment as well.
I have to say that this whole hotel thing and everything that it(or whatever pronoun is preferred) encompasses feels overly convenient. First it was Inaywin's watch that seemed a bit too much and now the hotel. I'm sure you will eventually explain everything and provide a good reasoning, however, I can't help but feel that we're dealing with a not-so-distant relative of "plot armor" here.
This is a minor detail, but when Miko walks on Ren and Touka talking in the library, she seems to be wearing shorts or something under her skirt? Not sure what's up with that; later when she's lying on Ren's bed, there are no shorts.
I like that you keep changing hairstyles, this needs to be more common outside of your game. I must comment though, that Aki's recent change doesn't suit her in my opinion. Not talking about my personal preference for hairstyles, just what I think fits the character. What she had was "very her", while the braided version I feel like does not match her personality. Might be wrong though. Fun fact(hopefully): I had just recently learned that this new one you gave her is known as "dead mom hairstyle". Naturally, it doesn't apply to this case, since Aki neither is a mother nor is going to die(most likely).
Speaking of Aki; her stating that Ren could be the only man on the planet who can have sex with a vampire seems oddly definitive? I might be incorrect, but the whole thing was descriptive of specifically humans, not other myths(not that we see too many male myths). It also implies there are no male human SECS workers who would also posses the pills. I suppose "man" can be interpreted as "human male", but I feel like it should be clarified better?
I'm glad Nene finally showed her face, but in a way it was a bit disappointing. I was hoping for some sort of "monster-y" mouth. Instead, she just ended up... very cute. Which is not a bad thing, but felt somewhat anticlimactic.
By the way, I really like that image of a dream(?) a the end, that is not quite unlike how Suzu described her dream. I wonder if the cast selection is relevant to the story...
I guess I'll end it here, it has become quite an essay.
I loved the new content as well as replaying everything old from the beginning! Keep up the great work on this masterpiece of a game!
It also implies there are no male human SECS workers who would also posses the pills. I suppose "man" can be interpreted as "human male", but I feel like it should be clarified better?
Maybe I've forgotten but, has MC even told her about SECS and/or the pills yet? I'm pretty sure he's told her that he isn't a detective anymore, but I don't think he's told her about all that. I feel like she wouldn't have phrased it that way if she knew.
It's definitely something I've been waiting for, though. If any character would joke about it, it would be her or Kagome. The whole taking "a little blue pill" to fuck someone joke has been simmering in the background waiting for its chance to strike
Thx for the update - I was really looking forward for it. Too sad, that I'll have to wait again for the next...
I have to admit, that I'm slightly worried, that you open up too many threads and by that loosing the general or better genuine storyline - but I trust, you know what you're doin'
Anyways, great job as usual! Thanks again and "frohe Weihnachten"!
Thanks so much for the latest update. Not sure if I've said it here or not, but you have a true gift for writing characters that are easy to love. I find pretty much all of them adorable in their own way, without any of them sharing the same personality or backstory. Merry Christmas to those who celebrate it, and happy holidays to those that don't. My year has been pretty terrible, but reading this VN never fails to put a smile on my face.
Have found an error in the options. The Auto forward slider for dialogue affects both auto and text speed. The text speed slider appears not to do anything.
Close. Their labels were just switched, so text speed governed auto forward time and vice versa. It's fixed for the public release in a couple hours, though. Thanks for letting me know. :)
Hmm... *looks at forbidden fetish list* ... no Breeding, eh? A pity, only thing on that list I actually like (less the actually pregnant part and more the trying to get them pregnant part :P ). Oh well.
Sorry about that, mate. It's one of my personal dislikes and I can't bring myself to add breeding content or anything from that corner (pregnancy, lactation, mommy/age play, etc.) :P
Just a fan here to say, take care of yourself(selves) VertigoAVN. I might miss the occasion so just know I wish you happy holidays and a hopefully good end to the year.
I love this game. Pure and simple. It has so many twists and turns that through your expectations out the window. I have been playing for a long time AND STILL don't know what will happen next and I love it! I do have a question and possible feature; Is there a way to reset the Hamsters? I replay this game a lot and want to hunt for them again, but don't want to lose all my saves.
Hey there, thank you so much for your kind comment!
Yes, there is actually a way in the game to reset the hamsters. If you're on Android, you'll find a fairly big "Unlock Hamsters" button. When you hold that for a moment, you should get a prompt asking you to confirm your choice of wanting to lock the hamster images again.
If you're on PC, things are a little bit more complicated and involve unlocking aforementioned button through means of an Easter Egg first: - Open your phone in-game and navigate to the character bio screen (the flaming black heart) - There, scroll down until you find Ino - Right-click Ino's image a few times (5 or 6, I think) until it says "Something has been unlocked." in the top left corner of your screen - Go to the hamster gallery - Right-click the now-available "Unlock Hamsters" button to get the same prompt I mentioned above in the Android explanation
just finished playing the game and it's simply awesome, enjoyed every minute of it and can't wait for future updates. Everything about the game is great, love the characters and their personalities and their development is great too, plus the comedy side of the vn is actually funny, which is a really nice part of the game. Will make sure to support when I can, hoping for the best on finishing the game.
So when there is that one unknown text message you can only use if you picked a specific girl, will we need to have chosen her for more scenes later on and if so is there a variable that can be changed with a save editor to not have to go all the way back?
Yeah, the choice will lock a few of her future scenes. There might come another point where you can acquire her phone number, but until then, all her individual scenes are tied to that choice.
Set >C2S93_hottie = "tsubaki"< to get onto her path (but off the others').
Nice game; tried Crimson High while waiting for updates on other games, but now I'm keeping it and waiting for updates here too. Quick question about the hamsters: missed a lot especially in the beginning. I know, my own fault. But to try to find them, do I have to start over, or can I simply try from the various saves I got?
I'm surprised we reached so far and no one bothered to mention how hard to read the text is with the blinding white borders around gray color, can't move past tutorial with that distraction! hope this gets fixed
The font color and outlines (as well as some other things) can indeed be changed in the in-game phone, as mentioned by the tutorial at the beginning. I'll reverse the default font color and outlines to white with a black border, though. That was intended to be the default anyway, but apparently something went wrong with that. So, thanks for letting me know.
Edit: I just checked and it was even worse than I had expected. The gray color wasn't even intended to be available as a choice at all. It's crazy that no one has mentioned it thus far, because it's been like that for way longer than I want to admit without me knowing about it. So, again, thank you for letting me know. This needed to be fixed real bad.
Alright, so I've spent about 19 hours reading this over the past week and - holy shit did it blow my expectations out of the water. The story, the characters & the world are so capturing I can't wait for more. My singular complaint is that some of the hamsters are nigh impossible to get on mobile with how small they are - I definitely would get hardly any without the hints.
That's awesome! I'm glad to hear that CH was able to entertain you :P
The hamsters are indeed pretty small on mobile - I'm aware of that. They were never intended for the mobile version in the first place. I added them back when CH only had the PC/Linux/Mac versions and left them in for the Android version because of player feedback. For anyone who doesn't want to hunt tiny pixel-sized hamsters, though, I've added a button to simply unlock the whole hamster gallery on mobile. It can be found in the in-game phone's hamster gallery, to the right of the phone itself. It's not the greatest solution, but it lets people choose whether they want to kill their eyes looking for the tiny buggers, or just unlock the (optional) images and focus on the story.
Ok..... Let's just say thst waiting 3 updates is the Best Decision I've had man.... A lot Happened and Also Loved what you did with Mei 1 for the prize of 6,also Nice of you to give lore to the Heirs, the blood brides and the gods responsible for this AND the Development of the Relationship between OKAMI and EMICA also love to see that he went from Awoochie to Itchyro XD. Man.... I just love reading/playing this can't say anything than this cuz if I can the Dictionary would've ran out of Words to Describe how LOVELY and AMAZING this is.
I'm waiting for the Next Updates soon See you at 0.41!
Haha, thanks a lot, mate. Yeah, waiting a couple updates is probably not a bad call. I'd likely do the same as a player. I wish I could create more content faster, but to do that, I'd have to sacrifice quality in some way, and I'm just not willing to do that.
Glad you enjoyed the game so far. See you in three updates. :P
Nah, Keep going as you are now since it's still a Win-Win for us You don't have to Sacrifice anything just to release earlier than necessary as long as the content/story is running we're good.
Yo Vertigo! This development given to Okami is really good. I've been waiting for this since the first time she appeared. It warms the heart! I can say for sure, I follow Crimson High for its story, all the ecchi is a bonus.
Damn, how fast do you read?! I wish I could give you more, but I gotta create the content first lol Next update will be out within a few weeks, though!
Which one? There are quite a few. I thought I had fixed all of the broken ones. (If you're not playing on the newest version, chances are that the link you're talking about is already fixed)
the one on itch, here. im able to use any other discord link, but this one returns an error, and just says that i cant accept invite, so im sure its this link
Hmm, I assume you're talking about the image of Nagisa holding up the Discord invite sign? If so, I just checked that again and it's set to the correct link and works for me when I click it. I'm not sure why it doesn't work for you. Maybe something about your browser or something?
Hey vertigo wanna let you know I had a problem downloading the new update, I kept getting this forbidden error no matter how many times I tried redownloading it so I ended up going to a different site I download from just to get the new update. Not sure if that's a link error or on my end cause this is the first time I've gotten that
Hey there! Thanks for letting me know. As far as I can tell, the download works as intended, so I'm inclined to say it's something on your end. The game is uploaded directly to itch.io, so the only other option would be some issue with their download servers at the time. I assume it works by now. Let me know if you have similar issues in the future and I'll see what I can do. :)
Hey there! Honestly, that's mainly due to availability of assets in the software I use. A lot of the assets are Japanese in some way or another, so going with that made sense at the time. (I didn't know what I know now about texture editing etc.) Besides that, a Japanese setting appeals to a lot of people and is certainly more "interesting" than boring ol' Germany. Not to mention that I can't see myself making the characters visit an Oktoberfest or something lol
Hi Vertigo, how are you? Man, I loved the game, the story is incredible, characters with good and complex stories and bro I have just one more thing to say SUZU IS LIFE THIS PRINCESS IS THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD please vertigo make a little suzu doll and give it to me.kk sorry that was a joke but anyway vertigo I hope you are well and healthy I don't want the incredible creator of this wonderful game to get sick or anything hugs ❤️
Hi there! I'm doing well, thank you for caring. :) If everything goes according to plan, Crimson High merch (possibly including Suzu dolls?) will be available sometime next year, so your wish might not be as far-fetched as you may think. :P Anyway, thanks for your kind words! I'll make sure to take care of myself and I hope you do the same for yourself. :)
Hey Vertigo, I dont know if I have said this before mate but I am so damned impressed by how quickly you release new content. Seems like its once every month and half at most. Its not a huge amount of content but it all adds up!
If I compare you to other AVN creators, you come out way ahead of the pack. Most creators struggle to release new content once every 6 months. Some only manage 1 per year!
But you, you're a machine! A Beast!
And I love the story! I always look forward to the next content release.
Heya, mate! Not sure if you did, either, but I appreciate it anyway! It's nice to hear that my effort isn't in vain. :) And yes, you're correct. CH's updates release roughly every 4-5 weeks with the occasional outlier in one direction or the other. As you said, they aren't the biggest updates, but they add up, and I put a big focus on consistent(-ly improving) quality.
Thank you, my friend! Messages like this do wonders for my motivation and faith in what I do. :)
Will there be any miko lewd scenes or just screen time and story in the hotel cause I think she was kinda forgotten for a bit like 3-4 in game days + she's just the goat🔥
Downloaded the latest version from F95 so I'm not sure if it's the same in here but I encountered some kind of, well, not-exactly-a-bug.
Auto-Forward and Text Speed labels are switched in the settings. Text Speed slider is labeled as Auto-Forward and vice versa.
Great game tho. Really love the humor and characters. I'm bummed out that pregnancy isn't a (future) content but still, really nice VN.
---
Five Stars. I contemplated about using the proper review submission but thought I should put the comment here instead to let the other possible readers of the VN know what they can expect.
Well, first things first. Let's start with the protagonist. He is an extremely likeable character. As a detective, he is extremely quick-witted. I have seen other novels that established a character as smart/intelligent but forgot about it somewhere in the story to give way to unamusing cliches. His everyday schedule is somewhat laughable (in a good way) though since nobody has that kind of body to handle multiple important events back to back and still have the energy to somehow have time for his girls. I'd let that one pass though since it kinda works and it's fiction anyways.
Second, other protagonists and side characters. They are very likeable in their own way. Suzu, for example, is first established as a somewhat tsundere type but oh. GOD DAYUM. I did not expect that character development. Definitely a favorite. What bothers me somewhat is Miko being the first introduced of the girls from the class (Touka not included) but kinda forgot about her in the current version. Happy to see her get more screentime in the Hotel arc tho and hoping to see more of her in the future. I would've expected her to be the main/first romanced character (or Kana at the very least) but Suzu being it is still a really nice story development.
Third, something that bugs me are the hamsters. I'm a perfectionist so I wanted to collect them all but the first half of the little shits was kinda hard to click on Android. Glad to see the hamsters' hitbox got a lot bigger in the later part of the story.
Fourth, as I said in the previous point, I'm a perfectionist. And that's where this point comes in. Some content are hidden in a branching path. Hamsters, unlockable scenes and the like. It's not exactly a gamebreaking issue but it would be nice if this kind of branching doesn't spread to the story (i.e. choosing someone over someone). This is more of a personal issue/request so you don't have to take this point seriously.
That's about it, I think? TLDR: Good story, good characters, good protagonist. Would love to have more Yuu and Takashi screentime (No, not lewd scenes, goodness). They are just one of the most likeable characters aside from the main ones.
Hey there! Usually the version on F95 is the same as the one on here (I'm the one uploading CH there during the public release of each version) so I'm a bit confused as to why your labels are switched in the settings. I haven't touched the relevant code in months and in my version of the game, the sliders are labeled correctly. Should you play the next version and the issue persists, let me know and I'll see what I can do, okay?
Aside from that, thanks for your lovely review of CH! I appreciate that a lot, and I'm confident it'll help convince undecided players to give the game a try when they read it. :)
Hello! I write through a translator to make it easier to read, I want to ask for a translation of the entire text in the game so that Russian players can read normally, and I just treat them, otherwise I don't know English super well and I want to go through the new version :) and I also want to say that the game is just super! Russian Russian version was passed, and now I want to go through the new version with the Russian language
Sorry, mate, no official Russian version before the game is complete. Any Russian versions out there are fan-made and thus out of my control. I'd assume the newest update will get translated eventually, though?
This game really deserves a lot more attention - I found it through a cameo in World Crossing Academy and was expecting the usual mid porn VN story - main plot goes nowhere, while everyone falls in love with MC, because he showed them his dick once. Meanwhile I got an immersive plot with well thought out worldbuilding and likeable, human (heh) characters. I would honesty play it even without the sexual content (although some of them actually work wonders for emotional attachment - recent Suzu stuff was one of a few examples of how sex scenes can enrich a story and not just provide eye candy). In short I like the game, can't wait to see more. My ynly complaint would be some hamsters being on branching paths, I don't enjoy checking every choice for a clickable.
Alright I've played this game enough times to figure out somewhat what everyone is myth wise but the only two that I can't seem to figure out are Nagisa and Nene, I have a small idea what kind of myth they are but I'm not 100% sure (PS love this game from the first time I played it came for the porn stayed for the plot and story keep up the amazing work)
In the latest public version they flat out tell you what Nene is, and give significant hints towards Nagisa.
(Slight spoiler) I'm pretty certain Nagisa is an animal spirit, with her hair making me think Skunk, or with what she did in her her early memories something like a Racoon.

Weird question but does anyone remember the two games that were showcased or advertised inside this game?
I think it was the mc was watching the television.
World's Crossing Academy 1.0
Fall of the Angels
not sure if the second one is right
Amazing game, I’ll definitely add this one to my top games, the story, music, narrative, everything is perfect, author you did outstanding job❤️
Damn I love this game, this might actually be the first porn game where I came for smut but stayed for the story...and this proved to me why I hate stories that aren't completed yet, since now I have to wait for the next update, and I'm just impatient XD
Anyway, keep up the good work ;3
Kinda just wanna get my thoughts out there.

Damn Vertigo

The last hamster picture from this update...
Don't do that. Don't give me that hope.
Have found an error in the options. The Auto forward slider for dialogue affects both auto and text speed. The text speed slider appears not to do anything.
Version and platform would be good info since it works fine with the free PC version
True. Android 10. Current free game version.
Close. Their labels were just switched, so text speed governed auto forward time and vice versa. It's fixed for the public release in a couple hours, though. Thanks for letting me know. :)
For me, the text speed slider didn't have any effect on auto mode.
Hmm... *looks at forbidden fetish list* ... no Breeding, eh? A pity, only thing on that list I actually like (less the actually pregnant part and more the trying to get them pregnant part :P ). Oh well.
Sorry about that, mate. It's one of my personal dislikes and I can't bring myself to add breeding content or anything from that corner (pregnancy, lactation, mommy/age play, etc.) :P
It's your game, you decide what to put in there. I must say THANK FUCKING GOD that you are not into all that gay/futa shit.
can u avoid the ntr?
Yeah, actually. It's not that hard, either. Just two steps, really:
- Download the game
- Start playing
And bada-bing, bada-boom; no NTR in sight.
I've been laughing nonstop for about five minutes
:P
Ya love to see a good bada-bing bada-boom every once in a while.
Don't we all :P
Big bada boom
Just a fan here to say, take care of yourself(selves) VertigoAVN. I might miss the occasion so just know I wish you happy holidays and a hopefully good end to the year.
Good luck to you.
Hey, thanks, mate! That's mighty kind of you. :)
Amazing holidays and a great new year to you, too!
I love this game. Pure and simple. It has so many twists and turns that through your expectations out the window. I have been playing for a long time AND STILL don't know what will happen next and I love it! I do have a question and possible feature; Is there a way to reset the Hamsters? I replay this game a lot and want to hunt for them again, but don't want to lose all my saves.
Hey there, thank you so much for your kind comment!
Yes, there is actually a way in the game to reset the hamsters. If you're on Android, you'll find a fairly big "Unlock Hamsters" button. When you hold that for a moment, you should get a prompt asking you to confirm your choice of wanting to lock the hamster images again.
If you're on PC, things are a little bit more complicated and involve unlocking aforementioned button through means of an Easter Egg first:
- Open your phone in-game and navigate to the character bio screen (the flaming black heart)
- There, scroll down until you find Ino
- Right-click Ino's image a few times (5 or 6, I think) until it says "Something has been unlocked." in the top left corner of your screen
- Go to the hamster gallery
- Right-click the now-available "Unlock Hamsters" button to get the same prompt I mentioned above in the Android explanation
I hope this helps you. :)
It does. Thank you. Now on to the hunt
just finished playing the game and it's simply awesome, enjoyed every minute of it and can't wait for future updates. Everything about the game is great, love the characters and their personalities and their development is great too, plus the comedy side of the vn is actually funny, which is a really nice part of the game.

Thanks a lot, mate! Really happy to hear that you enjoyed CH this much. Feel free to join the Discord, too, if you haven't already. :)
So when there is that one unknown text message you can only use if you picked a specific girl, will we need to have chosen her for more scenes later on and if so is there a variable that can be changed with a save editor to not have to go all the way back?

Quick question about the hamsters: missed a lot especially in the beginning. I know, my own fault. But to try to find them, do I have to start over, or can I simply try from the various saves I got?
Thanks, glad you like it!
For the hamsters, you can absolutely try from previous saves. They are persistently unlocked across all save files. :)
Thank you for replying, gonna give it a try!
I'm surprised we reached so far and no one bothered to mention how hard to read the text is with the blinding white borders around gray color, can't move past tutorial with that distraction! hope this gets fixed
Pretty sure in the tutorial it also mentions that you can change the text and textbox from MC's phone. Just have to bear with it for a little longer.
The font color and outlines (as well as some other things) can indeed be changed in the in-game phone, as mentioned by the tutorial at the beginning.
I'll reverse the default font color and outlines to white with a black border, though. That was intended to be the default anyway, but apparently something went wrong with that. So, thanks for letting me know.
Edit: I just checked and it was even worse than I had expected. The gray color wasn't even intended to be available as a choice at all. It's crazy that no one has mentioned it thus far, because it's been like that for way longer than I want to admit without me knowing about it.
So, again, thank you for letting me know. This needed to be fixed real bad.
Alright, so I've spent about 19 hours reading this over the past week and - holy shit did it blow my expectations out of the water. The story, the characters & the world are so capturing I can't wait for more. My singular complaint is that some of the hamsters are nigh impossible to get on mobile with how small they are - I definitely would get hardly any without the hints.
That's awesome! I'm glad to hear that CH was able to entertain you :P
The hamsters are indeed pretty small on mobile - I'm aware of that. They were never intended for the mobile version in the first place. I added them back when CH only had the PC/Linux/Mac versions and left them in for the Android version because of player feedback. For anyone who doesn't want to hunt tiny pixel-sized hamsters, though, I've added a button to simply unlock the whole hamster gallery on mobile. It can be found in the in-game phone's hamster gallery, to the right of the phone itself.
It's not the greatest solution, but it lets people choose whether they want to kill their eyes looking for the tiny buggers, or just unlock the (optional) images and focus on the story.
Ok..... Let's just say thst waiting 3 updates is the Best Decision I've had man.... A lot Happened and Also Loved what you did with Mei 1 for the prize of 6,also Nice of you to give lore to the Heirs, the blood brides and the gods responsible for this AND the Development of the Relationship between OKAMI and EMICA also love to see that he went from Awoochie to Itchyro XD. Man.... I just love reading/playing this can't say anything than this cuz if I can the Dictionary would've ran out of Words to Describe how LOVELY and AMAZING this is.
I'm waiting for the Next Updates soon See you at 0.41!
Haha, thanks a lot, mate. Yeah, waiting a couple updates is probably not a bad call. I'd likely do the same as a player. I wish I could create more content faster, but to do that, I'd have to sacrifice quality in some way, and I'm just not willing to do that.
Glad you enjoyed the game so far. See you in three updates. :P
Nah, Keep going as you are now since it's still a Win-Win for us You don't have to Sacrifice anything just to release earlier than necessary as long as the content/story is running we're good.
Yo Vertigo! This development given to Okami is really good. I've been waiting for this since the first time she appeared. It warms the heart! I can say for sure, I follow Crimson High for its story, all the ecchi is a bonus.
Hey, thanks, mate! Love to hear it! Okami is one of my personal favorites from the cast, so it's great to see that her story is received well. :)
Listen i really love the story but the update had me hyped for me to just finish it in 10 mins :( PLEASE I BEG FOR MORE
Damn, how fast do you read?! I wish I could give you more, but I gotta create the content first lol
Next update will be out within a few weeks, though!
Carta de amor al cine, 10/10
discord link is brokie
Which one? There are quite a few. I thought I had fixed all of the broken ones.
(If you're not playing on the newest version, chances are that the link you're talking about is already fixed)
the one on itch, here. im able to use any other discord link, but this one returns an error, and just says that i cant accept invite, so im sure its this link
Hmm, I assume you're talking about the image of Nagisa holding up the Discord invite sign? If so, I just checked that again and it's set to the correct link and works for me when I click it. I'm not sure why it doesn't work for you. Maybe something about your browser or something?
k, ill figure it out
Hey vertigo wanna let you know I had a problem downloading the new update, I kept getting this forbidden error no matter how many times I tried redownloading it so I ended up going to a different site I download from just to get the new update. Not sure if that's a link error or on my end cause this is the first time I've gotten that
Hey there! Thanks for letting me know.
As far as I can tell, the download works as intended, so I'm inclined to say it's something on your end. The game is uploaded directly to itch.io, so the only other option would be some issue with their download servers at the time. I assume it works by now.
Let me know if you have similar issues in the future and I'll see what I can do. :)
Hey Vertigo I've got a question: since you are german, why the japanese setting? Nothing wrong with that - I was just wondering...
Btw, nice update ;-)
Hey there!
Honestly, that's mainly due to availability of assets in the software I use. A lot of the assets are Japanese in some way or another, so going with that made sense at the time. (I didn't know what I know now about texture editing etc.)
Besides that, a Japanese setting appeals to a lot of people and is certainly more "interesting" than boring ol' Germany. Not to mention that I can't see myself making the characters visit an Oktoberfest or something lol
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the update!
Crash Report: Game keeps crashing in the school right after hanging out with Jun
Can you elaborate a bit further? Which scene with Jun is it and what does the error message say?
new version, let's goooooo
Hi Vertigo, how are you? Man, I loved the game, the story is incredible, characters with good and complex stories and bro I have just one more thing to say SUZU IS LIFE THIS PRINCESS IS THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD please vertigo make a little suzu doll and give it to me.kk sorry that was a joke but anyway vertigo I hope you are well and healthy I don't want the incredible creator of this wonderful game to get sick or anything hugs ❤️
Hi there! I'm doing well, thank you for caring. :)
If everything goes according to plan, Crimson High merch (possibly including Suzu dolls?) will be available sometime next year, so your wish might not be as far-fetched as you may think. :P
Anyway, thanks for your kind words! I'll make sure to take care of myself and I hope you do the same for yourself. :)
Hey Vertigo, I dont know if I have said this before mate but I am so damned impressed by how quickly you release new content. Seems like its once every month and half at most. Its not a huge amount of content but it all adds up!
If I compare you to other AVN creators, you come out way ahead of the pack. Most creators struggle to release new content once every 6 months. Some only manage 1 per year!
But you, you're a machine! A Beast!
And I love the story! I always look forward to the next content release.
SUZU FOR LIFE!!
Heya, mate!
Not sure if you did, either, but I appreciate it anyway! It's nice to hear that my effort isn't in vain. :)
And yes, you're correct. CH's updates release roughly every 4-5 weeks with the occasional outlier in one direction or the other. As you said, they aren't the biggest updates, but they add up, and I put a big focus on consistent(-ly improving) quality.
Thank you, my friend! Messages like this do wonders for my motivation and faith in what I do. :)
I hope you have a wonderful time! Cheers!
Just returning to say great game and good luck in development. Take care of yourself(selves) VertigoAVN.
Thank you and will do!
Will there be any miko lewd scenes or just screen time and story in the hotel cause I think she was kinda forgotten for a bit like 3-4 in game days + she's just the goat🔥
There will be Miko stuff at some point, yes. Let's call it soon™ :P
EDIT: Added a review. SPOILER ALERT
Downloaded the latest version from F95 so I'm not sure if it's the same in here but I encountered some kind of, well, not-exactly-a-bug.
Auto-Forward and Text Speed labels are switched in the settings. Text Speed slider is labeled as Auto-Forward and vice versa.
Great game tho. Really love the humor and characters. I'm bummed out that pregnancy isn't a (future) content but still, really nice VN.
---
Five Stars. I contemplated about using the proper review submission but thought I should put the comment here instead to let the other possible readers of the VN know what they can expect.
Well, first things first. Let's start with the protagonist. He is an extremely likeable character. As a detective, he is extremely quick-witted. I have seen other novels that established a character as smart/intelligent but forgot about it somewhere in the story to give way to unamusing cliches. His everyday schedule is somewhat laughable (in a good way) though since nobody has that kind of body to handle multiple important events back to back and still have the energy to somehow have time for his girls. I'd let that one pass though since it kinda works and it's fiction anyways.
Second, other protagonists and side characters. They are very likeable in their own way. Suzu, for example, is first established as a somewhat tsundere type but oh. GOD DAYUM. I did not expect that character development. Definitely a favorite. What bothers me somewhat is Miko being the first introduced of the girls from the class (Touka not included) but kinda forgot about her in the current version. Happy to see her get more screentime in the Hotel arc tho and hoping to see more of her in the future. I would've expected her to be the main/first romanced character (or Kana at the very least) but Suzu being it is still a really nice story development.
Third, something that bugs me are the hamsters. I'm a perfectionist so I wanted to collect them all but the first half of the little shits was kinda hard to click on Android. Glad to see the hamsters' hitbox got a lot bigger in the later part of the story.
Fourth, as I said in the previous point, I'm a perfectionist. And that's where this point comes in. Some content are hidden in a branching path. Hamsters, unlockable scenes and the like. It's not exactly a gamebreaking issue but it would be nice if this kind of branching doesn't spread to the story (i.e. choosing someone over someone). This is more of a personal issue/request so you don't have to take this point seriously.
That's about it, I think? TLDR: Good story, good characters, good protagonist. Would love to have more Yuu and Takashi screentime (No, not lewd scenes, goodness). They are just one of the most likeable characters aside from the main ones.
Cheers!
Hey there!
Usually the version on F95 is the same as the one on here (I'm the one uploading CH there during the public release of each version) so I'm a bit confused as to why your labels are switched in the settings. I haven't touched the relevant code in months and in my version of the game, the sliders are labeled correctly. Should you play the next version and the issue persists, let me know and I'll see what I can do, okay?
Aside from that, thanks for your lovely review of CH! I appreciate that a lot, and I'm confident it'll help convince undecided players to give the game a try when they read it. :)
Hello! I write through a translator to make it easier to read, I want to ask for a translation of the entire text in the game so that Russian players can read normally, and I just treat them, otherwise I don't know English super well and I want to go through the new version :) and I also want to say that the game is just super! Russian Russian version was passed, and now I want to go through the new version with the Russian language
Sorry, mate, no official Russian version before the game is complete. Any Russian versions out there are fan-made and thus out of my control. I'd assume the newest update will get translated eventually, though?
Your discord invite is not working.
But from what I have seen of this fine game it is a game I'll enjoy, so I'll give it a spin.
If you're referring to the in-game link, it's already fixed for the next release :)
Thanks for letting me know, though!
Edit: Fixed the link on here, too. I assume that's the one you were referring to lol
Yes, sorry for not getting back to you sooner, been taking care of my folks and thank you for fixing the link.
May I ask what the menu music is?
"CHasing Daylight" by Scott Buckley :)
This game really deserves a lot more attention - I found it through a cameo in World Crossing Academy and was expecting the usual mid porn VN story - main plot goes nowhere, while everyone falls in love with MC, because he showed them his dick once. Meanwhile I got an immersive plot with well thought out worldbuilding and likeable, human (heh) characters. I would honesty play it even without the sexual content (although some of them actually work wonders for emotional attachment - recent Suzu stuff was one of a few examples of how sex scenes can enrich a story and not just provide eye candy). In short I like the game, can't wait to see more. My ynly complaint would be some hamsters being on branching paths, I don't enjoy checking every choice for a clickable.
This game could EASILY be turned into a commercially successful Anime!! I wish I was rich enough to produce it!!
I really want to see them invent and utilize vampire fang condoms
The storyline is very good I like it
Alright I've played this game enough times to figure out somewhat what everyone is myth wise but the only two that I can't seem to figure out are Nagisa and Nene, I have a small idea what kind of myth they are but I'm not 100% sure (PS love this game from the first time I played it came for the porn stayed for the plot and story keep up the amazing work)
In the latest public version they flat out tell you what Nene is, and give significant hints towards Nagisa.
(Slight spoiler) I'm pretty certain Nagisa is an animal spirit, with her hair making me think Skunk, or with what she did in her her early memories something like a Racoon.
i think she is a cat, a stray maybe
My guess is she's a raccoon. But still she is best girl no matter what she is.
Just started this game, and I gotta say for an ero-game the lore and story had me hooked on rather than the segs scenes.
Like I'm curious if the MC is really human, you know after that pan to the back of his head incident (lol).
Love to hear (well, read) it!
