There seems to be a bug with the game's time, the dusk seems to last much longer than the day, which only lasts approximately 1 minute and disappears completely soon after, and there doesn't seem to be night. If there are any spelling errors, I'm using Google Translate, i'm very sorry <333 I love this project so much
That's odd! Have you played the game on previous versions? If so, deleting your old save file might fix it (which will also reset your progress unfortunately). You can find the save game file on your computer at the location C:\Users\[your username]\AppData\Local\HousekiUE5\Saved\SaveGames
Thanks! Sorry I forgot to reply sooner, if HnK ever gets another season then adding more memories is the least we could do π it would be awesome to explore the places later in the manga as well
I believe you run 'HousekiUE5.sh" to open the game, or you might need to do some kind of conversion from .sh to .exe to run it (not too sure b/c I am not a linux user)
hello! I really would like to play this game, but when I try to run it I get a window "out of video memory trying to allocate a rendering resource. make sure your video card has minimum required memory, try to lowering the resolution and/or closing other applications that are running. exiting..." I set graphics level low and closed other apps, but it's still not running. I'm very stupid when it comes to computers, what can I do? ππ
Your computer likely doesn't have a good enough graphics card π₯²sorry lustrous spirit is not a super well optimized game. I'll work on it in the future though
hi i was playing and i picked up the white diamond gem and it made me fall threw the earth and now everytime i try playing again im just still under the map if you could fix it i would be so very happy!
Heyo! Sorry that happened, unfortunately there isn't a way in-game to respawn yourself right now but if you want to keep playing you can reset your progress by going to the following file path on your computer and deleting the 'mySlot.sav' file:
C:\Users\[your local username]\AppData\Local\HousekiUE5\Saved\SaveGames
Oh it probably goes somewhere else on macbooks... someone online says it goes to "/Users/[username]/Library/Preferences/[game name]/MacNoEditor" if you still want to try
Hello, do you guys have a discord server or something like a site of contacting or discussion? I was wondering since twitter is odd with private messages, demanding premium for soem reason.
I'm more so interested in opportunities to join in. It's probably a private team but I have a lot of interest in helping in non-profit things I'm interested in (HnK).
There's no community discord for it right now, but we might make one after the next update (probably at the end of summer or something like that). I agree that having a discord server is cool but it's also a bit of work to moderate and I'm too busy to work on the game or moderate a discord server until summer
would it be possible for you to put the minimum system requirements in the description? im not sure if theres a human error on my end or if my laptop is too bad to play the game because i havent been able to open it
The best way to support it right now is to share it around, we can't make money off of this game because it uses video clips from the anime but seeing people enjoy the game is very motivating!
Is there a way to support its creation? The idea of a HnK game was very appealing even before to me, but I imagined it much differently. I love non-profit things like this, as that's exactly the stuff I'd involve myself in.
Good person, I am sorry to make you wait, as I suddenly am going through a very "rough patch". I hope until I can contact you you and your crew do well!
Thanks for helping us with that bug Overcast! I'm loving this. Your School building looks incredible, the landscape and graphics are nice. When are you going to add Lunarian attacks from the sky? ;)
It's basically just exploration/collecting right now, originally I wanted to make it as a tool to help people understand where anime/manga events take place but then I had some other ideas... there is another game system in the works right now which builds on the gems but it might be a little while until the next update
Ooo I'm intrigued. What game system are you thinking of? I thought it would be cool to pretty much play as Adamant-Sensei or someone like him. Finding gems and managing a small army to fight lunarians. Though that was just a random idea lol, I'd love to see where this game goes if it has stuff to do in it.
Ofc, thanks for for the notice Podkomorka! One of my friends Goterina who's a 3D modeler has been refining the school model and it looks so good...
As for the Lunarians, that would be super cool but it's so much work so I don't know if/when π₯² but maybe if I find an interested character modeler, animator, and combat designer
The commentor below me (Podkomorka) already listed this issue, but I feel like I should also make my own comment. Upon loading the game my character begins to teleport around, usually in the air, but sometimes I can skip forward and teleport onto the ground from a running jump. I want to say its an error with a failsafe (if you fall out of the map it will teleport you back, for example), but without taking the game apart I don't know. If there's no reply for a while, I'll probably see if I can find an error with the software I have.
That being said, my computer can handle the graphics, and I am on Windows 10 (Home). Until this glitch is fixed, the game is unplayable, but it at least looks pretty.
Addendum 1: The teleporting also causes the shadows to freak out, which seems like something more is going on. The teleporting also can't warp you through solid objects, such as the invisible wall, so the game still checks collision while teleporting.
Hello! I just found your game and I was really excited to experience what you made but I seem to have some kind of glitch. Before I describe the glitch I just want to mention that my computer is pretty beefy and can definitely handle the graphics.
The glitch:
Upon loading in my character will teleport a ways into the air then fall back down to the ground, then teleport back up and fall down, constantly. My movement inputs don't seem to do anything, only teleport me a good ways in that direction, all while still continuously falling. I can't play the game like this. Does anyone know about this and of any solutions? I've tried every graphics settings just in case.
It seems like a game issue because both of us have the issue, and the shadows freak out each teleport. If I can find a way to crack open the game I can look deeper in the meantime while we wait for the developer.
Thanks for the comment, that's so odd! I've never heard of that happening before π€ I'll try re-downloading the game and see if it happens + troubleshoot it
It's now fixed! The cause was a date-time conversion error caused by 2024 being a leap year... the build has been updated if you want to re-download (you shouldn't lose progress)
Hello, I just downloaded the game. Unfortunately, when trying to run it, I get a notification that says that Windows won't let me run it, due to it putting my pc at risk. Is there any way to sidestep this? thanks.
I think that's something that happens when running .exe files on windows (which are part of downloaded games), you might be able to avoid it by right clicking on the file and then selecting 'run as administrator'
My GPU was screaming when I played this game. However, I love this so much. Your map is so far and everything on this map is gorgeous. At first, I feared opening this game cuz my potato PC. but when I opened I was glad.
Thanks kitacrazy :) I am glad you like it and that your computer endured - future updates should hopefully continue to make the graphics less costly, it is a bit of a challenge balancing good looks with good performance
Good day, the project you have made cannot but cause joy and enthusiasm among fans of the series and, even if not completely, allows you to feel the atmosphere of the work. And in the future, if the mood is not lost, it will be able to compare with ABZU and Flower, despite the fact that this is just a fan game. I couldn't get in touch with you to ask a few questions about the further development of the project. If you need help creating 3D character models or game prop, contact me by mail Eydas2003@gmail.com or in the discord @mahorobae. I ask you to forgive me in advance for using an interpreter, because I can be good at understanding the language, but remain green in its use.
can't really play the game since I'm on a laptop running integrated graphics, but I was able to play one of the older versions a while ago and its beautiful, a slide show on my laptop but beautiful none the less. one question though, are planning on adding lunarians? (if they aren't already in the game.) I think it would be interesting to have something that could hunt you. of course this is personal opinion.
Thanks for checkin it out tumeke :D We have talked about adding lunarians before, although we have not figured out how they would work with the rest of the game's systems yet. Maybe in the future though!
In every video game I pay attention to the graphics/gameplay. Its really well made. The graphics are to die for! Gameplay is very good! Can't wait to see more of it.
I liked it, very vibe game. I collected 13 memories, but I could not collect the one that is on the bell. I like that when you get close to the memories, the music starts playing, it really helps to find them, but it lacks the ability to sprint. Since the world is mostly very spacious and empty, it gets a little tiring that you can't speed up and have to walk slowly through the unchanging landscape. Also on the first page of the game there are pictures with a sunset, but after playing for an hour and a half, the time in the game has not changed and the sunset has not come and I still lacked canonical places, such as a first-aid post, I hope you plan to introduce them in the future, good luck in further development
I tried running this on my potato of a computer. Lemme just say that the lighting effects are stunning, the colours and environment reminds me exactly of the show, my inner child who watched the anime all those years back was squealing with joy when I was simply walking around haha. γγγ°γ£γ¦γοΌ
Damn, so cool. Maybe school itself is a bit empty now, and there is no little building behind it, but anyway, that is so cool to see the world of HnK. Hope you will develop it furthe

Thank you by the help! everything fixed by now :>
AMAZING!!!
Thank you!
Hi! Unfortunately it seems the google drive for the Mac build isn't working :(
You're right! We'll fix it soon when the next update happens in a couple weeks π
Hello Overcast, love the work that you put into this project!
Thank you!
Hello! Great job on this one btw! (as both a player and a game developer), hope to see more updates of this soon!
P.S Hopefully if there ever is a Season 2 (and maybe 3), would there be more memories?
Thanks! Sorry I forgot to reply sooner, if HnK ever gets another season then adding more memories is the least we could do π it would be awesome to explore the places later in the manga as well
hii, I use linux, how can I play the game?, when I unzip the file there are just folders and I couldn't find something executable
I believe you run 'HousekiUE5.sh" to open the game, or you might need to do some kind of conversion from .sh to .exe to run it (not too sure b/c I am not a linux user)
hi, go to the installation folder and open a terminal from there, then type ./HousekiUE5.sh
update when? sorry to bother you with this question π
Sorry ill start working on it... soonish... thank you for holding in there π€
update ? π
There are a couple posts on twitter if u want to see: https://twitter.com/OvercastZombie
But you can expect an update in early September π

alr alr thank you but uh i dont really know how to do that..!!! i sound so dumb saying that lol
i have a macbook so its kinda hard
Oh it probably goes somewhere else on macbooks... someone online says it goes to "/Users/[username]/Library/Preferences/[game name]/MacNoEditor" if you still want to try

I'd love a discord server too !

I'll try to figure it out, although ya it doesn't run super well on laptops
Id like to ask if there is a way to support this game ?

Hey Misaomisao, if you want to talk more about helping the game you can add me on discord - @oatvercast
Good person, I am sorry to make you wait, as I suddenly am going through a very "rough patch". I hope until I can contact you you and your crew do well!
I hope things get better for you MisaoMisao!
It would be awesome if you could add some jellyfish at the school when it is dark so it would light the place up!
Ooh that's a good idea π
Yes please do i thought of that too ! That would be insanly cool!
what happened to my lapis ); no back?
Sorry that is a bug which happens sometimes when carving, I haven't figured out how to fix it yet π’
Looks super good! AWESOME! (can we have a winter map? O(β©_β©)O ) oh and if there is a discord server i would love to join
Thank you Rexoka! There might be a winter map in the future π and no discord yet
for some reason i can't pick up some gems, and picking them up over all is kinda hard :/ other than that i love the game!
That's odd π€ I'll look into it for the next update. Thanks for the support Kris :D
Thanks for helping us with that bug Overcast! I'm loving this. Your School building looks incredible, the landscape and graphics are nice. When are you going to add Lunarian attacks from the sky? ;)
What is the goal of the game? I haven't figured it out yet aside from just exploring. As in, what does collecting the gems actually do?
It's basically just exploration/collecting right now, originally I wanted to make it as a tool to help people understand where anime/manga events take place but then I had some other ideas... there is another game system in the works right now which builds on the gems but it might be a little while until the next update

Finding gems and managing a small army to fight lunarians. Though that was just a random idea lol, I'd love to see where this game goes if it has stuff to do in it.
Ooh that's a cool idea, that could make a very interesting game. The current thing I'm working on has to do with movement mastery, as a hint
Sadly I'm no game dev, I only have basic python knowledge, so all I'd have are ideas lol.
I'm more asking what will the goal of the game be? What's the reward/what should I be looking to do kind of thing.
Ofc, thanks for for the notice Podkomorka! One of my friends Goterina who's a 3D modeler has been refining the school model and it looks so good...
As for the Lunarians, that would be super cool but it's so much work so I don't know if/when π₯² but maybe if I find an interested character modeler, animator, and combat designer
I totally get it!

Hopefully the dev will see us and be able to fix the issue.
It's now fixed! Thank you for the comment, very helpful
Thanks for the quick fix, I don't know how helpful I was though. I was just rattling things off lol
You should probably change the version number though, couldn't tell there was an update.

It's now fixed! The cause was a date-time conversion error caused by 2024 being a leap year... the build has been updated if you want to re-download (you shouldn't lose progress)
Thank you!
Really like this game. It's so relaxing to walk around and collect gems. Can't wait for future update. I think a VR version could be cool.
Thanks dakharr π

i genuinely love this game, it keeps me distracted from little silly problems and is most likely my comfort zone (ｑβ’Μα΄-)β§ I only have 38 memories left to discover, yet I insist myself to go out and carve some stones instead! I do feel like some things are missing.. can't put Γ©m out to words tho !β
Aww that's awesome!
really nice and relaxing game, a button to give a direction to a memory or gem would be nice, but i dont think the game needs one
Noted, thanks for playing :)
Beutiful game! Had a lot of fun running around listening for memories and gems
Defenetly will play more and look for all the gems and memories
Glad you enjoyed it π
Really good game, Its so much like the show! <3
In every video game I pay attention to the graphics/gameplay. Its really well made. The graphics are to die for! Gameplay is very good! Can't wait to see more of it.

Thanks for the feedback simon! Sorry the sunset pics are up but that stuff is not on the itch.io build yet
Very, very cool. That's what you need.
Best HnK game
Ty :)
I tried running this on my potato of a computer.
Lemme just say that the lighting effects are stunning, the colours and environment reminds me exactly of the show, my inner child who watched the anime all those years back was squealing with joy when I was simply walking around haha.
γγγ°γ£γ¦γοΌ
Glad to hear it works for you! Ty for the comment :)
I hope I can run it on my old brick....
I'm trying to optimize it to work on slower devices but I fear that unreal engine 5 games of any complexity won't run on old computers...
i fixed my problem. Will try an update soon)
ITS SO COOL! fps is so low BUT ITS AMAZING I LOVE IT!!! (β§β½β¦) β‘
Thank you!
wow, this is really cool! patience and strength to the author to finish and fill this project with content
Damn, so cool. Maybe school itself is a bit empty now, and there is no little building behind it, but anyway, that is so cool to see the world of HnK. Hope you will develop it furthe
Oh yeah there is the hibernation room there huh
Nice project, it looks so good
very cool
Very cool
very cool
