Been playing Ruben's route and after the Training session we had at the village near the chaune territory and after a notification said the Ruben still dislikes my mc. Is that normal? Or is it because my mc disposition is fiery (2/100) combative and derisive. Or is there a specific option I need to take to make him like me at that point?
Fiery is Ruben's disposition, it's closer to rivalry vs. Mindful (closer to friendship), and with it he takes a longer time coming to terms with his feelings etc.
Im playing this on a tablet. I often hit your logo while pressing the back/forward button in the side menu, thus getting kicked out of the game and redirected to your homepage.
Could you move the logo down a bit? I'm liking the content so far. Getting thrown out of the game is a tad infuriating though.
This may be a dumb question- but what is the best way to read Ruben's route if you only have access to the game on mobile/android? I'm more than willing to buy the game but this is the first game I want to purchase on itch.io so I am unsure how it works exactly when you're on mobile.
Would it be easier to do it via supporting on patreon?
I'm going to say Patreon because the link there is well a link and there's no need to have to download and unzip things. There is a way to do it all through itch.io but it's a lot more.
I can’t get the game to work on my phone, I purchased it and can’t get the downloaded file to work and trying to play it on the itchio site only brings up the demo, I don’t know what to do. :(
It won’t open the index into a window I can use and only shows a picture with no clickable links.
I found this out the hard way too, unfortunately the game doesn't work on phones (at least, it doesn't work on Android phones, IDK if iOS is different).
The Android web viewer thing can't run javascript, and a lot of mobile browsers don't let you open locally hosted html files (I guess for security reasons maybe). I assume the reason it's marked as playable on mobile is because theoretically it should be able to be played in any browser, it's just that mobile browsers have a Thing about locally hosted html files.
I have been able to open it and play it in the Opera mobile app on Android, but unfortunately it doesn't load any of the images or sound files, and it occassionally has bugs that I suspect I wouldn't run into on computer. I haven't run into the exact issue you're describing, though, so I dunno if that's any help.
Ruben's route was one I normally wouldn't go for but I fell for him just the same oh my god i played it twice with two different mcs. Waiting for Nour's route!! I love pain lmao
So i'm trying to play the Taishfai (Pegasis) route and it appears to break when coming to the door or hiding if I interpose on Nyana'iva's behalf. the error page that pops up, rather than the page progressing is... Your file couldn't be accessed
It may have been moved, edited, or deleted.
ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND
Really enjoying the game so far and really wanna keep playing
I have a question, I bought Rubens Route but when I open the html none of the pictures or sounds are there. I've never really downloaded anything from itch.io so I don't really know what I'm doing lol. The demo was just too good to pass up the full route for Ruben. If you know what happened could you let me know so I could try and fix it? I really adore this game and your writing thanks ☺️
Well, Ruben wasn't my first choice, I tried Nour in the demo and I'm still waiting for the full route, so I wasn't expecting much... BUT! It was good! very good! And I really hope that you will finish this novel and the continuation will not be long in coming.
P.S. I really like that you do not have to go through this path as a strong hero whose spirit cannot be broken, that you can give in to hopelessness and apathy, and this is not just a number on the side, but affects descriptions, thoughts and dialogues in the text. That's why I'm waiting for Nour's route.
Hello! Are you not planning to release the game on Steam? I would really like to support your project and buy all the routs, but it is possible to purchase only through Steam for me QwQ
Ruben was the RO I wanted for my first play through! I've almost finished it. There were so many ups and downs, I loved it! I played AoT on my laptop in bed at night and during the end chapters I was crying lol. I wish I could delve into more specifics without mentioning spoilers, but I absolutely loved it! The characters were so in depth and the writing and story engaging. Seriously looking forward to other routes now! Are the RO's going to be released as displayed? Nour, Ozara, Zarik, Makaio?
Also, I want to commend you for not shying away from dark/difficult topics. From my experience so far other authors/creators avoid controversial(?) themes like this (ToA is the first game I've come across to have this, including detailed smut).
I feel like it's less alienating for people who have experienced these things, if that makes sense. And I love that there's an option to censor it instead of removing it altogether. I love the freedom of well thought out and written IF's. Thank you so much for doing what you do!
I don't really leave 'reviews' but I wanted to share my thoughts.
I think it might be important to highlight that you cannot choose your skin colour when you say you can choose your appearance, as for many this is likely to be the most/one of the most important aspects of their appearance that they cannot choose. The point that we can choose our appearance in the features section is therefore pretty misleading.
I've just purchased the full - and I do so enjoy your prologue (obvious since I bought it!) I just want to say that I'm having problems with the pronouns? I've tried Non-binary and Trans Male, but the info keeps setting me on she/her - while the body is V and B. So I wonder if the pronouns are pulling from the wrong spot data-wise.
I literally just realized now on my opening it just now, even before I saw this message. Hah! I must have been too excited to read to realize there were yellow words! Thanks for answering! Looking forward to updates!
Ruben's route was so fun, completely worth 2 dollars. Do you plan to release Ozara next? I'm in love with her route so far, and I love how both of the female LI's are WOC. I rarely see that.
Just finished Ruben's route! It's soo good!!! It had me crying a little at some parts. The Epilogue wrapped up everything nicely and it was very heartwarming.
Are you planning to create a walkthrough sometime? I was checking the stats page while playing and it seems like I wasn't able to get some of the good scenes, probably picked some wrong choices.
Your writing is superb! I can't wait for the other routes. I'll start reading some of your other works while waiting. ^^))
Hello! sorry if this was mentioned already but if I buy the full version now, how will the other routes that are not Ruben going to be updated if they haven't been released yet into the full version (if that makes sense...) ?
When they come out you will just need to update the folder, same as how you would update the folder when bug fixes come out and such. When you play them you'll just find that it doesn't end at the demo and it's the full version.
What do we need to do to get the CGs? Because I just finished Ruben's route and didn't get any CGs whatsoever...
EDIT: Okay, I just read on your Tumblr that the CGs might be added to the game a bit late, I hope this doesn't come across as pushy, but it may be a good idea to mention this in the update about Ruben's route here on itch.io so that people who buy it aren't surprised/dismayed not to find the CG when they buy it. Just a thought.
And I enjoyed Ruben's route quite a lot, by the way. Even got me crying a few times (hit close to home in places). My only slight disappointment was not being able to dom Ruben as a male MC. lol. But otherwise, very well written!
There are three different versions. The Patreon version would be given if you're a patron. If you want that then you need to head to patreon. Those files aren't here. If you don't want those files then the $2 and $10 files to play Ruben are here on itch.io.
Really enjoyed Ruben's route, looking forward to future updates. Already bought the full game because honestly, I would've gladly paid 10$ for Ruben's route alone. Thank you and good luck with development, 13Leagues.
Are you playing on the itch.io app? Because if so the app and the save setting are not buddy buddy. There is no other way to fix it as it isn't a bug, it's just the itch.io app not liking the code for some reason, it works on everything else though.
Both Chrome and Firefox are good. I'm sure Safari is too but I personally don't use that browser to test the game. From what I have heard others say, literally just not playing the game using the app fixes the problem. Still playable on phone and everything, it's just the app itself.
ahhh I've been binging through superstition and decided to try your other games out. i adore this demo!! writing about trauma (esp the aftermath of traumatic events) is a hard thing to pin down but it can be so healing when done right. i love what i've seen so far. started with zarik but then went through all the other routes and i love how each one is unique, really sets up for a lot of replayability. i feel for MC so much and im so looking forward to reading the rest of their journey. thank you for your writing!
This is amazing. I read the Ruben demo, then went immediately to Patreon so I could read more. The last two days have been spent consuming each route. Incredibly well done - I was really hesitant given the content warnings (particularly around rape/sexual assault) but its very well done. I honestly feel for my MC and the characters around them. This game has shot to the top of the in-progress games I am following. The depth and character complexity you have is incredible.

Is it just ruben's route that is completed? Or are the other routes ready to fully play in the full game
just ruben's route is completed the others are still short demos

obsessed with Ruben
Really loved Ruben's route. Though I do swear Toz was trying to steal my MC. Such a sweetheart. I really look forward to Nour's route now. <3

Okay great! i thought Patreon would be the simplier way to purchase the full game but I wasn't sure.
Thank you for the help and I can't wait to read Reuben's route later today! 😄

Use JoiPlay, everything works.

Yup, and it doesn't matter whether you interpose or not either. Seemingly all choices lead to that error:
Hello, if I subscribe to your patreon, will I still get access to the game? Or is it too late?
AUGGGGGH SO SO SO SO SO SO SOS SO SO SOS SO SO GOOD I ADORE RUBEN SLAY SLAY SLAY SLAY SLAY
I was playing the demo and picked Nours route, but it gave me the same prologue as Zariks?
I have a question, I bought Rubens Route but when I open the html none of the pictures or sounds are there.

You must download ToA Route Specific: Ruben (V2.00) and then extract archive ToA Ruben.zip with 7-zip or WinRAR

is the game fully out
Hello!
Are you not planning to release the game on Steam? I would really like to support your project and buy all the routs, but it is possible to purchase only through Steam for me QwQ
As of now, no. But I may consider it once all the routes are actually done and a very stable version is provided.
Cool! Thanks for answering! <3
Just finished Ruben's route, it was great!!! 🥺
I can't wait to experience the others. ☺️

Every game I have always comes with an alternative cuddle scene instead of sex. There is also an explicit content button that is toggle-able.
I've just purchased the full - and I do so enjoy your prologue (obvious since I bought it!) I just want to say that I'm having problems with the pronouns? I've tried Non-binary and Trans Male, but the info keeps setting me on she/her - while the body is V and B. So I wonder if the pronouns are pulling from the wrong spot data-wise.
There's an actual setting that says "Change your pronouns" You can also go to settings at any time and change your pronouns.
I literally just realized now on my opening it just now, even before I saw this message. Hah! I must have been too excited to read to realize there were yellow words! Thanks for answering! Looking forward to updates!
Ruben's route was so fun, completely worth 2 dollars. Do you plan to release Ozara next? I'm in love with her route so far, and I love how both of the female LI's are WOC. I rarely see that.
I do want Ozara to be the next LI out. It will either come down to her or Nour.
cool, cool! That’s all! Ty for responding

I've been setting aside a budget for gaming, as well as getting a proper computer setup for gaming. Throne of Ashes is a game at the top of my list!
What do we need to do to get the CGs? Because I just finished Ruben's route and didn't get any CGs whatsoever...
EDIT: Okay, I just read on your Tumblr that the CGs might be added to the game a bit late, I hope this doesn't come across as pushy, but it may be a good idea to mention this in the update about Ruben's route here on itch.io so that people who buy it aren't surprised/dismayed not to find the CG when they buy it.

Is it possible to download the game somewhere else? I can't make purchases through the website itch.io
Wait I'm so confuse. So if I pay, I get to play Ruben route in itch? Or is it on patreon? I'm confuse on which one I should pay 🤣
Please let me know 🙏🙏
There are three different versions. The Patreon version would be given if you're a patron. If you want that then you need to head to patreon. Those files aren't here. If you don't want those files then the $2 and $10 files to play Ruben are here on itch.io.

I can't wait to see where this game goes! It's absolutely amazing so far. I'll be keeping an eye out for the full version.
Every time I try and save my game I get an error message. Is there any way to fix this?
Are you playing on the itch.io app? Because if so the app and the save setting are not buddy buddy. There is no other way to fix it as it isn't a bug, it's just the itch.io app not liking the code for some reason, it works on everything else though.
Yes I am playing on the app, do you have any recommendations for what browsers to use?
Both Chrome and Firefox are good. I'm sure Safari is too but I personally don't use that browser to test the game. From what I have heard others say, literally just not playing the game using the app fixes the problem. Still playable on phone and everything, it's just the app itself.
I am so excited for this to be completed. I love ur games so much
You make me cried, hello this is illegal? I will pay for this piece of art! 😭🙏
ahhh I've been binging through superstition and decided to try your other games out. i adore this demo!! writing about trauma (esp the aftermath of traumatic events) is a hard thing to pin down but it can be so healing when done right. i love what i've seen so far. started with zarik but then went through all the other routes and i love how each one is unique, really sets up for a lot of replayability. i feel for MC so much and im so looking forward to reading the rest of their journey. thank you for your writing!
This is my new favourite! :sob: I love it so much. Is there a ballpark for the full release at all?
Not at all. Only one route is close to being finished.
Well into next year? Is it Ruben's route? I'm so excited to play the full game! This has become my favourite
I mean, I don't know. There's five routes and each are at least 200k in all. That's basically five separate games in their own right.
Yeah! I will definitely buy this game when it's ready
This is amazing. I read the Ruben demo, then went immediately to Patreon so I could read more. The last two days have been spent consuming each route. Incredibly well done - I was really hesitant given the content warnings (particularly around rape/sexual assault) but its very well done. I honestly feel for my MC and the characters around them.
