Will there be an android version?
It's being worked on atm.
There’s impreg content, right?
nope
OOF, thought there was due to dialogue in the demo lmao.
Eh? What dialogue is that lol?
Wasn’t there some with the first major girl when you have sex after her boss fight? It’s been a few months, I could be misremembering if she was asking a question or making an offer.
I'm getting stuck on a white loading screen every time I complete all of the cutscenes at the end of the first "Goal" node. Is this just a bug or the end of the current version?
Love this game btw! Awesome animation style! 10/10 :)
Tried uninstalling and reinstalling, no results :/
There are two chapters in the game atm so two different departments. You might have a broken save file. Can you try a new save?
I’ll try and keep you posted on results
is it possible to make an option in the settings that makes the tutorials skippable? ive had to restart a couple of times for various reasons and the tutorials are the most tedious part of the process
Hmm. I guess it could be done. I'll see what we can do.
*sniff sniff* where's the update? I'm waiting for an update on steam if anything
You mean aside from the massive content patch we just dropped?
It's way too early for another major update. It was about a year between when they announced the kickstarter and the completion of the first department, then another year for Arcade mode and half the next department. Though even relative to the avg 7 months between major updates, I wouldn't say it JUST dropped... a dev blog next month would be nice.
Yeah it's just two devs on the full game. Currently we are building local vs mode along with some other bug fixes and changes.
Narrative always takes soooooo long.
Damn, as I understand it, there are only 15 people in your company?
Currently we have 10 staff which is a mixture of dev and office support. The dev is spread across 3 games with most of them on Sapphire Safari. Under Contract has one full time dev and myself on narrative.
and yes, forgive me for being rude, apparently I should have inserted a simple joke
I have this on steam but not here figured i come here to tell people this: its candy crush but a bit more spicy and sometimes legit fun and well you get demon bitches in the end. Yeah that pretty much tells everything anout the game. I will %100 buy Safari and Wet Nightmares when its on steam too.
Wow awesome thank you for the high praise!
Oh damm the big man itself answered! Hey can i ask when will Safari and Nightmares will be released on steam? I kinda prefer steam over itchio.
Sapphire has a roadmap on the itch page, so after we are done with that. Wet Nightmares will be on steam once chapter 2 is done.
hey, can I purchase a steam key from you? sadly not available in my country
You can purchase the game on gog as well if you cannot access it here or steam. We do not sell keys right now
Whenever I try to enter the finance department my game is stuck on a loading screen. Is there a way to fix this?
If you installed via the exe please use the zip instead. There is an issue currently for some users of the exe installer. Your save files should be fine.
how does it looks sooooo good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?
Time, effort, and good planing.
Hey Guys
Good game, but there are a few things that i find to be a little jarring
1. I think the randomized perks are interesting, but it resulted in Monika and Kelly getting the same perks (plus i really want meteor!)
2. Gallery doesn't work (this might only be a problem for me)
That's about it, cool update
1. Thanks for the feedback on this, perhaps we will look into another system or something like that.
2. I am aware of this glitch, you can view the gallery if you do it without loading a game after starting the game up fresh. It only breaks after loading a save file for whatever reason. We will get it fixed.
great game
Any info for android release?
Once the full game is complete we will look at android as an option.
Great thanks for reply
Will there be a pay method for paypal soon?
No. We are not allowed to use it on itch. Please look to Steam or GOG for more payment options.
When will the game be updated with new content?
We have the new patch 99% done. Just putting the final touches on the new department. Basically the game has been doubled in length.
any updates on progress? also, if the discord is more active could i get an inv? the link didnt work when i trie
Hi yes! We are putting the last parts together for the massive content update. I'll check the discord invite link.
i cant get arcade mode to work for me. ive tried to re-download and it still didnt work
Delete your save file in appdata it's likely something has gotten corrupted.
I've deleted my save files in appdata and it still isn't working; it just keeps freezing every time I select it.
will there be a way we could buy the ost ?
The ost is sold on steam and gog. I am not sure how to do it here on itch.
Can you bring it out on Android so I can buy it?
Perhaps. The size of the screen makes it difficult tbh. We will try once we have nailed much of everything else.
hi i want to purchase ur game with paypal but i cant ! why is that?
We are banned from using PayPal because we make adult games. It is against their TOS.
this is art
Cheers.
could we get an android version of this ?
then i would be more then interested ^^
We would need to change a lot about it gameplay wise. But it is always a possibility.
If you ever decide to do it hit me up
You guys have 3+ games im interested at but ill usually play on my phone before going to sleep for obvious reasons ^^
Well keep an eye open here for the news about if and or if we do it.
Not sure why I'm doing this, but I wanted to ask if anyone has a free steam key for the game.
I'm curious if it actually let's me use that in germany. It's a weird situation and I'm unsure what is blocked, if it's even that.
It likely would not work. I got a key for a game from a friend's humble bundle in another region and it told me it was unusable because the key was region specific.
okay wow, well thank you, it's annoying what steam is currently doing.
any explanation for the vending machines? if its a spoiler then dont bother, just curious
They will be changed to computers for the player to access things like email and some other things. Maybe. At least that is what we want to do so far.
Tonight is another Dat Shorts Review! We check out Kinky Fridays Under Contract! A sex game with just as much adrenaline in the gameplay as there is in the cutscenes!
i am confused with the last gate. I went to all the vending machines and it always tells me it's broken. When i got to the bliss gate it says it needs 4 keys and that it is obvious. I think i'm dumb or something isn't working in my game.
You can find all four keys in the last circle. It's on each double vs battle node.
Does a purchase on this page include future updates?
Yes, of course!
everytime it enters or leaves a dream the game is stuck on a loading screen
Yep, I know of this bug, we will work on a hotfix for it. Thank you for the report!
Okay, hotfix uploaded to Itch, thank you very much for finding this bug and reporting it!
Any idea if/when we might be getting keybinds to hide the dialogue box and see dialogue history? The latest patch is great btw!
Hide box and ui we could add, I dunno about the history stuff since we built everything ourselves. I'll bring it up with the team though.
will there be a android version soon?
No plans for it just yet, other than some kinda "wouldn't it be nice" talks. So we would love to make a version of it, but we would need to make some consideration for how it plays to make it work there.
I do believe it'll increase user amount by a bit so definitely look into it! :)
Are the graphics realtime or pre-rendered, they look really good
Pre-rendered. Thanks for the complement!
i fought all the duo demons and when i got to the bliss gate it said i didnt have any. Plus i dont know if it was a bug but while they sometimes did have different inital comments they always said the exact same thing after the figh
In that build they were not 100% implemented. The next patch coming early May will have all that content and more.
Are the animations a bit choppy or is it just my computer? its not bad it's just claymationesque.
also can't wait for the full game!
Yeah it's got seconds removed.
I’m actually planning on learning about game design and general programming, do you mind explaining why the seconds were removed, was that intentional, or automated, if it’s intentional what purpose does it serve?
You mean aside for visual purposes? Everything was animated that way intentionally to be striking.
ah okay, I was just confused it is unique and on a second replay I do like it, it was just janky, and a little bit jarring at first.
So how many of the reward scenes are actually animated, do you plan to animate all of the girls and are you planning on adding a gallery mode?
All reward scenes are animated in the next patch. All future reward scenes will also be animated. When you say "animate the girls" can you clarify what you mean here? Yes, a gallery mode will come after we finish off Department 1 fully.
I meant the office demons, the grunts basically. Are you able to disclose the info on when will the next patch drop? Also, one more question, are you going to add the option to change the keybindings?
Keep up the great work, I'm really invested into this game!
Yeah, all scenes are animated including the office demons (there is an example at the top of the page). Key Bindings for the Keyboard are already in (in the new patch and demo we just released).
So when will you grace us with the new patch release?
We wanna finish up a few of the boss fights but then yeah we should drop it. Maybe a few weeks. Maybe.
Does Kelly have her scene yet?
We have it made but it is not in any build just yet.
Is the game 32 bit compatible?
We don't build for either specifically so yes, it should work without issue.
Well Frida have a sex scene?
Eventually!
nice.
If i purchase on here, will it also unlock on steam once there is more than the demo? Or any chance at opening up the steam version to "early access"?
We are working towards an early access release on Steam at the moment. If you purchase here you will not get a steam key as they are completely different stores.
The plan is the following. Update the demo to include all the new content (we are like 90% done with that now), then build enough wishlists and release on Early Access on steam.
ah right on! I just read the dev blog and looks like you guys have been working hard! Any idea of a ballpark timeframe on the early access/updated demo on steam? (zero pressure or anything) absolutely loving the vibe and story (ok and the little comments and hints at some kink inclusions have me hopeful and excited about some things, like the masked demons talking about "clapping" the main character's cheeks hehehe) anyway, definitely following this game, i'd rather own on steam but i'm getting to the point where i want to continue the story and such and regardless of the store i'm gonna buy it lol
Thank you for the positive vibes on the game! We will launch on Steam once our wishlists reach the desired number to help with the initial sales of the game. As for Richard getting pegged it is undecided atm, as that would be a loss state for the game since Richard is usually the top in all his scenarios.
Perhaps we can have a special event, but I am not sure yet. Let's see about it in Chapter 2!
Heck yea! I havent even finished chapter one yet LOLOL I am ready for more!
Our next patch will include all areas of Chapter 1. The public release right now is only a small section.
game looks so good and promising too, hope y'all developers wont abandon or something. Well i wish you developers best of luck !!
Still working on it, check the latest news for information on what we are building!
