The Arson Betrayal puts you in the shoes of Leo Somerfort (or any name you want). With only an apartment in Ablesmith City and enough cash to pay the bills for a few months, you've been working at a café, hoping to save enough money to be able to go to college. But one fateful encounter plunges you into the middle of a conspiracy filled with lies, betrayal, and violence.

"A time will come where a person, enlightened by the truth, will be tested; what they stand for, challenged."

"Lies, betrayal, and corruption, just one step behind, are all waiting for the right moment to strike."

"A time will come where we are defined by what we fight for..."

"Now is that time."

"Watch your back. Trust no one."

"Now it begins."

Synopsis

A harem visual novel, focusing on an action-thriller plot about the MC (with a name of your choosing) and his sudden involvement in a conspiracy that turns his world upside down. Players may choose to focus on one love interest, all of them, or none at all (but where's the fun in that?)

Love the game, but I've run into an issue where it's crashing on Android during the scene in the diner with Bailey. Anyone know a fix for this? Crash data pasted below.

[code]

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

This is an absolute gem of a game, I have not played many with similar quality, nor with a similarly intriguing presentation. While it does take some time to get moving, when it does, it is one of the best rides throughout. Expert foreshadowing, and great writing.\

This game is incredible, and I hope to enjoy more of its content, and any more content of different games that you release.

(P.S. Fuck you for having the best name crispy chicken)

(+3)

I hope the update is released soon 

Any chance you can upload the Android version somewhere else (Mega for example)? Media Fire never seems to work. 

I remember liking it less the first time I played it, still liked it tho, but now it is one of my favorites. Congratz.

DUDE ! It was like watching an action movie

The cliffhanger in the end aaaaaaaaaargh i need more i feel that there's something about the MC (us) that we dont know yet, he (we) are a charismatic character, i am looking foward to the next chapter

Hi can I find out if there will be a mod or a multimode for all the games?

I don't trust Media Fire last time I got a virus.

Straight Fire. Im excited for whats next.

Wow I just wanna say, this is one of the best games I have ever played and read. There's a lot of vns out there that are just your typical moegap porn plot, but this, Arson Betrayal. I just have to give a round of applause to you (or your team) for making this game. This is definitely up there with one of the most well written western vn's I've read. Definitely in the same catergory as Once In A Lifetime. The potential of your story is astounding and I hope to read the full story once you finish the game. Cheer's man and hope you stay safe. :)

hi dev! I’m researching your project and let me say I’m extremely excited to play. Next on my list for sure. I was wondering if u could tell me how many renders and animations are included as of latest version or at least an estimate? Want to know how much content I can look forward too :)

As of now the game contains a total of 7 Chapters with 1 Interlude Chapter. In total, all those have 8,789+ images and 269 animations and a lot of words in them I lost count.

(+1)

I'm surprised with this game...it's really nice, amazing story, great art, good animations,.... Congratulations on this piece of art.

(+2)

Need more Tiffany

(+1)

The game is very cool. I liked the animation very much. Thank you and we look forward to more. 🤍

(+1)

Damn finally the update is here!! Thank you as always Crispy you are indeed one of the people I respect the most with your work and giving those sweet sweet updates, Keep up the awesome work as always fam :D

I saw that it said public release for 0.7 is on August 30th, but still don't see it, is it delayed again??When will it be available?

(1 edit) (+1)

It's already available publicly in my Patreon. I'm still waiting for Itch to approve the increase on my upload size limit so I can upload it here directly, but if not, I'll just link it through mirroring sites like Mediafire instead.

Any way to not miss the 2nd shot on the bridge with the rocket?

dlc1assist.rpy, around line 1830, in "Talk to Dr. Obyako". in the "else" case (already talked to the guy) a "jump dlc01_11" is missing, otherwise the talk scene plays again

(I think the assistent DLC is rushed, trying to compress the whole narrative from on-boarding to everyone's dead within one in-game day does not make a lot of sense. there's not more content needed but a more sensible time line, with "a week later" screens. give me as player a believable time frame, with the temporary MC reading the SOPs and learning about the serum and experiments - the new guy cannot give a "fresh perspective" w/o any insights into the work. spreading the story over, say, a month of in-game time ("We're currently synthesizing a new batch of the serum. The next in vivo application is planned in 4 weeks, a cancer patient in her terminal stage volunteered to become a probant." / "Here's your work laptop with all our data. Keep in mind that this device must not leave the lab. Make yourself familiar with our results and procedures and don't forget to talk to your colleagues to learn about there specific roles in out team.") would work imo better, and I'd believe the emotional bonds of the MC to his new co-workers)

(3 edits)

started playing the public 0.6.4 - nice so far, looking forward to see the plot unfold.

a few remarks about your gallery:

* currently the "show" button only displays the preview image, but the replay of yet unseen scenes is still locked

* the replay uses the default name of the MC

* you prepared a, still unused, variable (persistent.gallery_name) but a separate one is imo not needed: you have two perfectly fine variables: persistent.pov and persistent.povlastname

I propose to do something like:

default persistent.pov = "Leo"
default persistent.povlastname = "Somerfort"

-> somewhere in one of your generic files, to prevent crashes when the name was not yet set (the current setter is in 01ACT.rpy around line 180, before the 2 persistent variables are invalid)


replace in replay.rpy around line 20 the current "action Replay(Replay_items[i].replay)" with

action Replay(Replay_items[i].replay, locked=False, scope = {"povname": persistent.pov, "povlastname": persistent.povlastname} )

-> locked=False mitigates the issue that unseen scenes are still locked, even when persistent.replayUnlocked is true (i.e. "show" button used)

-> the scope gives the replay a list of variable mappings, here first and lastname of the MC from the persistent store


to update the name depending on the used save extend label after_load (in screens.rpy around line 20) with

$ persistent.pov = povname
$ persistent.povlastname = povlastname

a few bonus typos:

./z_scripts/02ACT.rpy:2358: adviced->advised

./z_dlc/dlc1assist.rpy:2995: everyting->everything

./z_dlc/dlc1assist.rpy:2209, ./z_scripts/02ACTC1HSCENES.rpy:36: flourescent->fluorescent

I've played lots of AVN the past few months now but I gotta submit my comments here, The Arson Betrayal is definitely a banger! God the immersion of the story and plot, i kept on saying "if there'll be a movie about this, it must be a solid 10". The downside is just bits of here and there but nothing worth atttention, (could be polished but doesn't affect if it doesn't). But, overall, a solid 9/10 I'd say! Can't imagine how stressful it was to create hours and hours of content but CCP, you've done a great job! At this point, I don't care about the nsfw contents anymore i just want the story xD. 

и еше игра будет гаремом?

Как часто будет выходит обновления игры?

Привет отличная игра можно узнать

(+1)

I put off playing this for a long time and im glad i did cause this was amazing and  having to wait would kill me cant wait for the update

Hi so there seems to a bug fix patch. is it necessary to install the patch or just play the latest version?

(+1)

The patch fixes a vital bug where you'll both miss a scene, and later on be thrown into an infinite loop.

should i just download patch and then copy paste into game files?

(+1)

Hey! Yup, just paste it into your game folder and it should be good to go.

(+1)

This is a great game. Although I will say I was sad that Bianca got a completely new haircut during her sex scene. Also, I like Tiffany's original haircut (instead of her new one) so I hope we see more of that. Keep up the great work!

(+1)

NGL fam I was wondering when the next part of this is coming and here it is finally all the waiting paid off I guess :D Keep up the amazing work as always CCP and gonna be supporting you all the way....

Any details when will next version release?

The game's currently out now for Patrons, but the public release will be at the 20th of Feb!

(+1)

I tried it and caught my interest  and when i finished the half of the story it was like im speechless in a moment.

And realized that if you want to survive for your life you must face what it needs to be even other people think of you are the criminal but it's not.  People getting blind by the power of Mayor.


And yeah the story it hits different it's looks like  I can't describe it by words.


Much love who created this and who are part of this to make this AVN undescribable.

No link for android? And there are two mac links?

Помогите как подключить на русском языке 

Написано есть русский язык просто нету

(+1)

В предыдущей версии  0.5.1 в настройках можно было поставить русский, но в 0.5.3 его, кажется, автор выпилил.

Понятно спасибо

Anal sex?

(+1)

How do you get the alternate scene for Sydney(the last scene on gallery) on ch5? Is it based on her submission? If so what moment of talking to her during the story would increase her submission stat enough for that scene?

(+1)

SPOILER

It's based on whether she's still a virgin or not.

(+1)

It didnt work. I skipped the three some scene and played it. And both don't unlock last screen


(+1)

Wow🙄..just wow man,u did a Marvelous job in this chapter. This chapter animation is really really good.Story was on another level comparing to another chapters.Can't wait for next chapter. All the best guyz.

So,i have a question this is a harem visual novel right?? I mean i don't have to chose any girl, i can do relation with every  girl right??

(+1)

Yup, it's harem. But of course, conflicts are bound to happen at the start.

I was scared at the end of the chapter 5🥶.I thought i might have  missed something.

Thanks bro.

Seems promising going by the first chapter but those constant title screens and random wait screens are really annoying

Yeah😅 Those are fixed on the upcoming chapter.

(+1)

This is honestly one of the best VNs ive played, great job.

Wow,🙄man u know ur work so damn well,i can only say  u r awesome. Keep it up man,we all are with u. From today in ur fan list, u got one more fan  in ur list.So how many days or months we have to wait for to see what happened next? I will be waiting for it as long as i need to🥰.

Thank you!

New updates usually roll out in one to two months. Of course, it depends on how busy I am with my part-time jobs and college, but that's the usual range on how frequent updates are released. 

I'm hoping that the day comes when I can focus on this full-time. Cheers!

Thanks for ur reply.Take ur time man,as long as u can make what u want to make, i know it will come as something really incredible. So we will wait...,...........
