Left Hand Magic - Cheats/Guide
🕑 Added 2023-10-01 04:35:55 +0000 UTC*Edit 2* I'm an idiot and didn't actually attach the PDF. I did this time. -_-. Sorry.
*Edit* Updated guide added to post in PDF format. As always, new stuff can be found by searching *New* within the guide. Asterisks included.
Okay, the guide isn't actually ready yet (I'll add it in a few hours an edit on the post when I do) but I wanted to go ahead and do this post for the new CHEATS! Yes! Left Hand Magic has cheats now! They are a bit limited for the moment, only really allowing you to Add/Subtract points from relationship scores and Dom/Sub points. In truth, they are mostly a proof of concept, though a marginally useful one. In Build 12, I'm intending to extend the cheats to include the ability to unlock Route Requirements if you haven't met them as well. Not to mention hopefully making it so that you don't have to replace a file to make them work...
On that note! That's currently how they work. There is a zip archive attached to this post called 'LHM B 11 Cheat File.' It contains just one file, called Defines.rpy. All you need to enable the cheat system is to drop that Defines.rpy into the 'game' directory, overwriting the one that's already in there. In Windows, the path will be: /LeftHandMagic-Build11-pc/game/. Pretty straightforward. Mac buries the location more /LeftHandMagic.app/Contents/Resources/autorun/game/. I'm aware having to do it this way is a bit awkward...and doesn't work for Android at all (sorry). Which is why I'm going to be working on a way to skip the 'replacing a file' bit in the next build. As I said, this is pretty proof-of-concept at the moment. It will be improved upon.
Once you replace the file, using the cheats is dead easy. Just open the Relationship panel from anywhere in the game and there will be a new button in the upper left corner to Enable/Disable cheats. Enabling them will add + and - options above each relationship heart and to either side of the Dom/Sub points.
