We're proud to drop the full release for build 5.0! Really counting on feedback on this one especially. It's important to us to keep the game as non linear as we can, but as it expands and more quests are available, the potential for for immersion-breaking continuity errors gets ever greater. (i.e. Why is Casey acting like I just met her even though we already interacted in a previous quest?) We're on the lookout for those, so if you find anything like that please let us know here, on discord, in a PM, anywhere. (Though please reserve major story spoiler related comments for PMs only.)
Here's what to expect in the new build!
-Parker's quest can now be fully completed in one of two very different ways depending on your choices, each with unique artwork.
-Isaac's house has been expanded! A hallway now connects the bedrooms for easier access.
-A new location, Kal's Auto, can now be unlocked in the story.
-You can now find enough Reinbobs to unlock a new scene with Liz.
-Raina's quest can now be continued. (When you can no longer unlock new dialog with her, that's as far as she goes for this build.)
-To complete the build: Three main story quests can now be completed, (Lydia, Parker, and Chloe,) complete any two of them, and you'll unlock the end of act one of the main story, as well as a special stinger for what Isaac will have to deal with next time!
As always, if you find any glitches, crashes, or typos, or if anything doesn't seem to work like it should, please let us know, and we'll tackle it as soon as we can.

Ah I get what you mean now. I agree, we are trying to get some kind of alert system in there. Maybe not in the next update, but the one after that hopefully.
oldman
I am playing a game that appears a red dot when something new is available... can you add something like that? for example: if Raina have something new to say, appear a sign like this https://www.iconfinder.com/icons/230505/bubble_chat_cloud_message_speech_talk_icon
Reinbach
:)
Reinbach
Hey if you've got any suggestions on anything I'd love to hear them. :)
oldman
And I hope you can do an animation from this history someday =]
oldman
Just a suggestion: would be good if we have some kind of feedback when a character (or Switch) have some to say
adam
Alright thanks for the answer!
Bob Fink
Yes it did, I was able to get all the way through and collect all the Reinbob's and complete the game. But now it's got me chomping at the bit for the next release. :D
kaldonis
Hi Bob, did the fresh walk through solve the problem? Someone else has report the same problem.
kaldonis
hey thanks, sry its taken so long to get back to you. I've not been well of late. I'll look into it now.
kaldonis
Hi Dutch, That's a strange one? When you say you can't find it, you mean its not sitting behind the counter in the bottom right corner of the screen just half tucked behind a kitty burger meal box? you've said you started a fresh save too, so I'm a bit perplexed here. I'll see if I can recreate the problem. Let me know if you have any success in the meantime.
kaldonis
Hi Adam, New saves are pretty much always required so the extra code I add from time to time is triggered correctly, just how Renpy works I'm afraid.
frank barry
Looking forward to it!
The Funny Hatter
I think he's talking about the Reinbob you get from Kittyburger. I too have had a problem with being able to give that Reinbob to Liz.
adam
Hey can we pick up from a v4 save without missing anything and getting any issues? or should we just start over again?
Reinbach
Thanks for reporting! I'll run this by Kal. :)
Dutch Jackson
I started a new walkthrough when I downloaded the latest version of the game. Still can’t find the reinbob at kitty burger
Logan Watson
After the first improv it’s a missing image for her rolling her eyes
kaldonis
Hi Logan, can you bit a little bit more specific? what sort of error? (game crash, image not loading etc etc) and which improv? there are 3 if memory serves me correctly.
Logan Watson
During the first rehearsal with Lydia an error pops up when selecting improv
Bob Fink
Okay then, I'll start with a new walk through and see what happens. Thanks.
Reinbach
Definitely. We went back in and changed the original code in a lot of places. So old saves throw a wrench into things I'm afraid.
Bob Fink
Actually I am using a save from the last build, would that cause the issue?
Reinbach
Thank you! :)
Reinbach
Well if you're using an old save from a previous build, that will cause all kinds of problems right there, but I can ask Kal.
Bob Fink
For some reason I can't get the Reinbob at Kitty Burger to show up. How can I tell if I've already picked that one up in a earlier walk through?
kaldonis
Sure fire away Lucus, feedback/suggestions are welcome. Either write here, messasge Rein or PM us on discord if you have access to it. Look forward to hearing what you have to say. :)
kaldonis
Fantastic, hope you enjoy :)
kaldonis
Thanks Alcath for helping there, I'm also told you may have to do this for each time we release an update. Just thought I'd give you a heads up just in case.
Doorknob22
I enjoyed this build immensely. The possibility to impregnate Raina is so fucking erotic. Also: the dialogs are very witty.
Reinbach
Three. Though (hopefully) it won't take us another three years to pull that off. Once we have all the main story quests finished the rest should fall into play quickly.
NSDB
how many acts are there gonna be total?
Reinbach
Sorry to hear it! Can you be more specific? Any details will help us figure out a fix.
pogo
can't give the 2nd Reinbob to Liz
John D'Alessandro
Right clicking work and thanks very much
alcath
right click on it and select "open" manually. This will prompt the system to enter your admin credentials, thus giving you permission to access the game. only needs to be done once, but has to be done at least once if you didn't put the TRW in the Applications folder as Apple doesn't like anything that doesn't come through the apple store
John D'Alessandro
The dialog box comes up with “TRWTheGame” cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified.
DistantWhisper
Now that I think about it, I think I was sent to the park as part of Chloe's questline but before I left I turned in Reinbobs to Liz and got the new scene with her. Then I ran into the park sound loop throughout Chloe's scene. So it could have something to do with the new scene with Liz. /shrug Not sure if that's helpful
Dutch Jackson
Kaldonis That works Thanks
kaldonis
Hi ya, so you have downloaded the game but it's not installing? Or the link to the download is getting blocked? If its blocked might be your anti virus maybe? Might sound a little stupid (I don't have a Mac i'm afraid) but have you right clicked on the ExE and selected open and see if it asks you to trust the developer ? if you can let me know more details I'll see if I can pin point the problem.
kaldonis
hmmm I'll try and help, first make sure you downloaded the zip to your hardrive by using the link above and pressed the download button in the upper right corner of the screen. Once you've downloaded the zip, double click and open the file. Make a new folder on your desktop. Drag over TRWTheGame.0.05 folder over to this new folder. Then see if the game will run from there. Please PM on discord or respond here if that works. If it doesn't I'll need more info to go on.
kaldonis
thanks for the feedback, I'll look into correcting those conversation topics. If you have access to the discord server please PM me with typos. If not please email Rein and we shall take a look. thanks once again for the suggestion and feedback everything is helpful.
Naelyth
At my second game of this version I found myself having this bug. I chat too speedly with Lydia so I don't have details but at the moment to start her quest to know the Parker's secret it appears the secret had been unlock without the Lydia quest and I'm incapable at starting her quest. I will start a third game and try to give you more infos. The only thing I can think about right know is the fact that I clicked like a retard ^^"
kaldonis
thanks I've fixed this now.
grumbling jim
The meanwhile cutscene, Kayden is scaled wrong and is some kind of giant. All you can see is midsection.
John D'Alessandro
Can anyone help me with this issue? I'm trying to install it but my Mac keeps giving me an error because it's from an unknown developer and won't allow me to download it.
Dutch Jackson
downloaded and cant get it to open. tried 3x. keeps telling me python27.dll is missing. says to try reinstalling it. advise?
Senoj Nai
There were a fair few instances of "it's" that should've been "its". My only major nitpick is wishing there were a "point of no return" warning before you talk to Switch to finish out the current build. There were a few things I hadn't done, I hadn't saved in a while, and suddenly I'm in the credits. It didn't occur to me until after I'd closed the game to see if I could mash Back and back out of it to tie up loose ends, I'll have to repeat some stuff tomorrow.
Senoj Nai
Oh, also asking Jane about Parker's secret after Lydia has already told you.
Senoj Nai
I found one. Asking Warren about the spy camera after you've already found and used the peep hole results in him still acting like you don't know about it.
kaldonis
Thanks very much for the feedback, I must of missed something there in Chloe's quest. I've disabled the map in the hallway simply to get new players to go into the living room to trigger scenes. Perhaps in the future I can come up with something a little more organic, once again thanks for the feedback it's invaluable to help improve the player experience. :)
kaldonis
This is a new problem to me, did you start a fresh save? I've had to rework Liz's code a bit to account for additional Reinbobs. If you have please let me know if you can't give her any or just the latest one.
kaldonis
Second time I've heard about this, though I don't have a problem myself so I'll need details. For now, it is essential you use a fresh save otherwise the new code wont be in there. Play through the story until you need to learn parker's secret, talk to Lydia first to get her quest at least started. Then either play through her quest or go and start Jane's that should solve the problem. But please if you can just let us know the details it's the only way I'll be able to figure this out as I have no problem starting Lydia's quest after Parkers.
kaldonis
Also when you return in the evenings there are no movement options save for the house you have to go to your room and sleep. Then when you are downstairs you should be able to go to school again. Should you still have problems please let me know, also you will need to start over old saves wont have the new code in.
DistantWhisper
Best build yet! Loved Parker’s scenes, probably my favorite in the game so far. It functioned just fine for me, other than 2 details. 1) I noticed you couldn't use the phone to move from the hallway in Isaac's house to Castlewood high, you had to move to another room. 2) When I was finishing Chloe's story, the final scene played out automatically as I was in the Park, when I attempted to leave. For the rest of the gameplay the 'nature' sound loop played in the background, even through Chloe's scene, and it continued until I went through the next day and visited the park again after school (and left). Both of these are pretty minor though, was able to do all other scenes and stories without issue.
Zenorum
no
Angelo
Were you upstairs? It won't let you leave if you're not downstairs.
Reinbach
Does the problem still persist outside of Isaac's room?
Zenorum
Played for a bit, then the phone function got "disabled"? I couldn't leave the house basically, tried loading old saves and there were zero locations to visit regardless if it was an older save or a new game
alex baker
this was spectacular and has left me with questions, i assume our choices will change what happens in act 2
Reinbach
Can you give us some more specifics? We'll need details for any hotfixes we're going to make.
Alt0id
Also what is new with Lydia, I can't trigger anything with her
The Funny Hatter
That can't be good.
Alt0id
I can't give the reinboob to Liz
