Hey there, i understand if you want players to find it out for themselves but thought I would ask anyways, how do you activate or use the mysterious stone, like what photo do I need?
ive taken like 50ish pictures on almost every monster in the game and all there familiarity is still at fearful this was never explained in the tutorial so id just like to know what im doing wrong
Familiarity is a listed upcoming feature. Please read the latest development blog issue 16 for more information on when that will be implemented into the game, along with other questions you likely have.
(v022a) I deleted my saved game folder to reset my config. Now when ever the game is launched, if I select auto detect display setting or leave it alone I get a shader error. I would like help solving this issue.

So that means you'll likely need to install basic direct x 12 dependencies on your PC. As the more recent builds of sapphire swapped over to dx12 as default.
while many have their gripes about the game, I for one am remaining optimistic about this, the price does have me a little on the fence, hopefully steam will offer a better deal. other than that the game looks really good.
Let's talk... I'm not a games expert or a value critic, but I can tell you that this game doesn't deliver as much as it promises EVEN though it's a "beta" or "demo". I, like many others here in the comments, was interested by the game's proposal, being different from other +18 games that always had the same gameplay, something 2D of questions and answers, hits and misses, go back to Save-Point and do it again if you missed. In this game the proposal is much more interesting, going out to explore an island with monster girls and taking pictures of them and so on... but the game takes a VERY long time and is VERY boring and tedious.
I'm not going to lie here, I paid $13 to explore the game and "enjoy the moment" as you know, and the gameplay, the graphics, the physics and worst of all, THE SCENES, are all very disappointing or less interesting than I expected them to be. So far I've only seen ONE scene, and I admit it's good, but the HARDNESS of getting those scenes, the TIME it takes to get the scenes, and the TIME I need to spend out of my day just to "relieve" myself are not worth the $13 I paid for this game.
So let's get to the final considerations with notes:
Graphics - 6/10
Environment - 6/10
Gameplay - 5/10
Progression - 3/10
Sound & music - 6/10
Character voices - 5/10
Character animations - 4/10
Bugs - MANY
My interest in getting more scenes - 1/10
Conclusion: The game's premise is more interesting and even eye-catching, but it's not what an adult game fan would want to see, and it's certainly not worth the price.
The game is in early alpha and there is no sex in the game. I am not sure what you expected. To anyone reading this just do a little research before making a purchase, we are in early development meaning only the basics are in the game right now. Please read the roadmap for upcoming content and read development blog number 16 for a detailed look into the sex mechanics and systems being built for v022.
Thank you for the review, but we are actively discouraging reviews right now purely due to it not being suitable for critique, it would be like reviewing a cake purely on its batter.
Hello... I apologize for this very aggressive and negative “criticism” which, I now realize, does nothing to encourage you. I was really rude to say those things and the idea wasn't to discourage you from continuing your game. Today I see my mistake and how rude I was to you, and I humbly apologize for it. Please continue with your developments, and if you can please ignore everything I said in the previous post, it was completely unnecessary. :(
Your review was fair for the current build but like I said above the game is in no state for detailed reviews. Every new patch will include sweeping changes to mechanics and systems rendering reviews mute.
It would be difficult to do at this point, we are still building the core game. Be sure to try running the dx11.bat file if you're having issues on older systems.
when's it coming to steam early access? it's on gog in early access already, i've been holding out on buying for the steam release but it's been a while now... 😔
When I start the game , the screen just emm... full of yellow ? The menu is OK ,but the game screen just has no color but yellow.Only the light of it can let me tell the contour(Sorry for my bad English.I'm not the native English speaker and I can't upload the screenshot for unknown reason, (*sigh)）
Are you playing on an Intel CPU laptop with no graphics card? If so please know that you're outside of the recommended minimum requirements and things like that can happen on older intel integrated graphics laptops and computers.
Hi, I have a question. If I were to get the game here on itch, will I get future updates too? If so, when would they stop? I mean, will they only go until full release or post release too? Thinking about where to get it (except for steam, sorry ^^")
All stores will get all updates to the game at the same time. No stores will differ from each other. Whatever store you buy on it will be the same game and be the same version.
Hi there! I believe you already considered the idea since - from what I see - the game seems very furry oriented. Is there any chance to have homosexual intercourse or are you focusing on male-female interactions only?
We have male on female, female on female, futa on male, futa on female, futa on futa. If males get added then they will be thrown in the mix and have everything happen to them, including male on male. However we will only consider adding males if we are at the end of development and are looking for more things to add. It was never in our initial goals.
Howdy. Question. I have the GoG version, dunno if it's updated at the same pace as itch, but when I try to open the game I get a error "lowlevelfatalerror*
Lots of reasons. PayPal banned us, itch won't support us with their payment service. Itch has only two payment options and one is banned so we are left with stripe which is credit cards.
Is there a donate button hiding somewhere? Bought it, played it, wish I had given more to help with development. Absolutely 100% want to help this process!
Hey thank you for the kind words! The best thing you can do for us is grab it on steam when it's released and give us a review there. If you want also join our community Discord and drop some feedback or a wishlist of features you'd love to see in the future.
Aiming for this year. But don't hold me to that, as development can go faster or slower on things. Like we recently decided that instead of doing a sex animation in 5 different animations we would just make it one animation and let our art team decide on when speed changes happen to make it more polished looking. So having to rework all that adds time to the schedule, but it means our pipeline is less prone to jank and human error.
I have a suggestion for low end pc's that you can add a separate option for character quality. In this way potato gamers like me will be able to see the character in good quality but with lower environmental textures so that game runs smoothly even with high character quality.
Howdy. Question. I have the GoG version, dunno if it's updated at the same pace as itch, but when I try to open the game I get a fatal error. It says there's not enough video memory. This hasn't happened with any other games or applications. I know it ain't a lot to go off of, but does anyone have an idea on a possible solution
I'd be surprised if my pc couldn't technically run the game, but maybe some setting is causing some value to overflow? Or well, idk programming so that's just an uninformed guess.
If it is possible to contact these characters, and not just take pictures of them, I will pay any amount of money to play this! I hope you're going to add this to the game. I will be very happy, I want to interact with them (if you know what I mean) ))))

Hey there, i understand if you want players to find it out for themselves but thought I would ask anyways, how do you activate or use the mysterious stone, like what photo do I need?
Find the runes when they are active and take a photo. Then run that photo to the mysterious stone to submit.

what is the PC hardware and operating system?
CPU: Intel i7-13700K
GPU: NVIDIA 3080ti
RAM: 32gb
OS: Windows 10
Launched the game just now. It worked until I started a new game, then it spat out the same error.
Do you have up to date drivers? If so can you try run the dx11.bat file in the main directory?
It's working after running the batch file, thanks.
So that means you'll likely need to install basic direct x 12 dependencies on your PC. As the more recent builds of sapphire swapped over to dx12 as default.
while many have their gripes about the game, I for one am remaining optimistic about this, the price does have me a little on the fence, hopefully steam will offer a better deal. other than that the game looks really good.
This is the lowest the price will be outside of sales, as more regions are added after the current one, the price will increase.

Your review was fair for the current build but like I said above the game is in no state for detailed reviews. Every new patch will include sweeping changes to mechanics and systems rendering reviews mute.
hello
how do you save in the game ?
The game saves whenever you submit content or unlock things.
will paypal be added as a payment method?
No we cannot use PayPal as they do not support adult content.
Okay then i understand!
Is it possible to have a more gender ambiguous avatar choice or will it only have a masc and a fem choice?
Only male and female. We have a narrative and both are characters first before genital selection.
Def need a android version, sadly none of my pcs can run this 😭
It would be difficult to do at this point, we are still building the core game. Be sure to try running the dx11.bat file if you're having issues on older systems.
thanks for the reply, and dw I'm just complaining about my sucky computer. It can't even run roblox 😭. All the love
are there currently interactions/animations between the animals and my character ? if not what version will that be added in
You can read all about it here https://kinkyfridays.itch.io/sapphire-safari/devlog/709939/sapphire-documents-is...
even at the lowest possible settings i cant get this game to run. its a fucking shame. after the character selection screen it just crashes
Do you meet the minimum hardware requirements posted on the main page? You can also try running the dx11.bat file in the main directory of the game.
yes i do
running it in dx11 helped
Glad to hear it.
when's it coming to steam early access? it's on gog in early access already, i've been holding out on buying for the steam release but it's been a while now... 😔
Once we finish the roadmap that you can find on the main description page here on itch.
When I start the game , the screen just emm... full of yellow ? The menu is OK ,but the game screen just has no color but yellow.Only the light of it can let me tell the contour(Sorry for my bad English.I'm not the native English speaker and I can't upload the screenshot for unknown reason, (*sigh)）
Are you playing on an Intel CPU laptop with no graphics card? If so please know that you're outside of the recommended minimum requirements and things like that can happen on older intel integrated graphics laptops and computers.
gosh,guess i need to buy a new laptop ;(
Have you tried to run the dx11.bat file in the game directory?
OMG,it dose work!I can run this game normally!Thank you very much!!!
would love to voice act for this project when that becomes available, would be a free option.
90% of the voice work has been recorded already. But keep an eye on our social media for when we do another casting call.
thank you!!! will do
is there a demo?
Not yet. Once more of the game is made there will be.
Are you thinking of making an Android version?
We would like too but right now we are entirely focused on building the game.
how do i uninstall?
Run the uninstaller? If it's a zip just delete it.
will we get to have sex with the animals?
Yes, read the development blog https://kinkyfridays.itch.io/sapphire-safari/devlog/709939/sapphire-documents-is...
how do i open the game
Please install the game via the recommend download and run the game after installation is complete.
Hi, I have a question. If I were to get the game here on itch, will I get future updates too? If so, when would they stop? I mean, will they only go until full release or post release too? Thinking about where to get it (except for steam, sorry ^^")
All stores will get all updates to the game at the same time. No stores will differ from each other. Whatever store you buy on it will be the same game and be the same version.
At what stage will we be able to have the mon's warm up to us? I can't get it above fearful.
Familiarity will come into the game at the end of patch v022. https://kinkyfridays.itch.io/sapphire-safari/devlog/709939/sapphire-documents-is...
Will a Gt 1030 run or will my pc explode?
It should be okay. You won't be able to run it on max settings obviously. But I can run it at 30fps without a graphics card on a laptop.
will there be more languages?
Eventually yes, we are not at the narrative stage yet. Please read the roadmap.
i can do french translation if needed, just reply me when you are ready
Sorry thanks for the offer but it's not something we will hand off to volunteers. The amount of work it requires is not simple.
Hi there! I believe you already considered the idea since - from what I see - the game seems very furry oriented. Is there any chance to have homosexual intercourse or are you focusing on male-female interactions only?
We have male on female, female on female, futa on male, futa on female, futa on futa. If males get added then they will be thrown in the mix and have everything happen to them, including male on male. However we will only consider adding males if we are at the end of development and are looking for more things to add. It was never in our initial goals.
No Patreon?
We have a Patreon. But there is no difference in release dates or content.
sorry to ask this but it there away to turn futa off or dose each charcater have a futa and none futa?
You can turn futa off in the gameplay settings.
ok thank you
Howdy. Question. I have the GoG version, dunno if it's updated at the same pace as itch, but when I try to open the game I get a error "lowlevelfatalerror*
It is updated at the same time. What is your PC hardware?
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4712MQ CPU @ 2.30GHz, 2301 Mhz, Nvidia GeForce 820 AND 8gb ram
Hmm your GPU is kinda outside our minimum requirements. Please update your driver's and try to run the dx11.bat file in the main directory.
Thanks, I was able to open the game
can't get any of the girls to interact with me and the familarity isn't going up no matter what I do
Hi, familiarity isn't implemented yet. Please read some of the other comments or the latest development diary https://kinkyfridays.itch.io/sapphire-safari/devlog/724504/three-of-a-kind-v022a
Why doesn't payment with Paypal work?
Lots of reasons. PayPal banned us, itch won't support us with their payment service. Itch has only two payment options and one is banned so we are left with stripe which is credit cards.
Is there a donate button hiding somewhere? Bought it, played it, wish I had given more to help with development. Absolutely 100% want to help this process!

I can see about it. Decent idea.
What is mal0 doing there?
mal0? Oh you mean Malous our 100% original do-not-steal character? Yeah it's a nod and wink.
Howdy. Question. I have the GoG version, dunno if it's updated at the same pace as itch, but when I try to open the game I get a fatal error. It says there's not enough video memory. This hasn't happened with any other games or applications. I know it ain't a lot to go off of, but does anyone have an idea on a possible solution
What hardware are you running it on?
Nvidia Geforce RTX 4070 super, Intel i9-14900KF, 32gb ram, windows 10 64bit
I'd be surprised if my pc couldn't technically run the game, but maybe some setting is causing some value to overflow? Or well, idk programming so that's just an uninformed guess.
Have you updated your drivers recently?
According to the geforce app, my video drivers are all up to date.
The only thing I can think off is the galaxy downloader is doing something weird. How did you install it via gog?
Can we get a android version
Not right now. We are focused on development for pc and controller.
Any way to claim a refund? Game doesn't work at all on my PC.
"Fatal Error" everytime.
If you want to try to get it working come join our community Discord and talk to us first. Otherwise, you will need to talk to Itch to do the refund.
There will be an MacOs version?
We have no reliable way to test. So I doubt we will make builds for Mac.
Will there be Femboy versions?
Futas are already a thing so Femboy versions would be to outta reach right?
Straight people don't need it. :Ж
Male mons will only happen near the end of the development if we find the time. And even then all builds of males will be used and not just feminine.
:0
Awesome i hope you guys find the time
Will there be option for non human penis for the monster girls ?
Eventually yes. For now, we got the one dong to rule them all.
If it is possible to contact these characters, and not just take pictures of them, I will pay any amount of money to play this! I hope you're going to add this to the game. I will be very happy, I want to interact with them (if you know what I mean) ))))
We are still developing it but it is what we are working on right now. You can read more about it here https://kinkyfridays.itch.io/sapphire-safari/devlog/709939/sapphire-documents-is...
