I just bought the game after enjoying the demo, and things were going smoothly until i tried to but a movie, and due to a type, the game looked for a "moive" and crashed
Maybe I am just stupid... but how do you start the game? I bought the game, downloaded it, and then unzipped it but I am unable to find the application to start it. I have never had this problem with any other game on itch.io.
Dear developer, Hello, I'm from Asia. I like your games very much. However, there are a lot of "free cracked versions" of your games in Asia. I think it may be because of the purchase channel of this game. I hope you can transfer your games to a larger game platform, such as steam. This will definitely make this game have more players. Look forward to your next game progress!ヾ(◍°∇°◍)
This is very weird , this bug you mentioned was from v1.1. I fixed it at v1.2 already. Didn’t receive any report about event loops since v1.2. Just some item displays bug remain so far.
When I made love for the first time with her, the next day her line of dialogue was running nonstop and there was no way for me to ignore it, how to fix this?
Hi devs and players :3 Enjoying the game so much So far discovered 3 endings Currently I'm following love route, around day 110+
The problem is when a new passive conversation begins, with button "wake up", I pressed it and a bunch of conversation passed by, and after that, game sent me back to that "wake up" button, and conversations just repeated. It seems like I stucked in an infinite loop This bug happened when I played v1.1, now I still experienced this in v1.2.
Any suggestion for my problem? Any help is appreciated :3 Feel free to ask me about errors appeared in game folder if you guys need more info
I tried to continue playing and found it myself, for those who are stuck, pat her head and observe once a day for about three to four days and then go home on Saturday or Sunday at 8am to 9am.
i need some guidance, i don't know where am i going wrong, i have been stroking her head for 28 days and trying to talk but the dialogue still shows she is alert and not comfortable what i should do this
i got to the event she confessed to me, and the next event i considered on the computer was "wait 3 days" but i waited 40 days still nothing happened? Im play v1.2
Hi Kumo . I just want thank you for helping me that one time with the buggy issues. What I did to play the game well is deleting the old demos and starting a new game but for some reason the old demo I saved before is still there but I started the game from zero to the ending. I want to give my comments to the game. First I finish the game by discovering 3 endings from the new update. What I notice from the endings is that some of pics didn’t show up in the gallery and another ending from the gallery didn’t make sense from the story line. For example I got Ending B I follow the story but when I see the gallery why didn’t it show the exact pic during the route? There is also another Ending where is like the same but different path . The A ending have 2 endings but one pic only shown in the gallery. In my opinion if you separate the pics from A like instead of A at the same time it will be like A, B, C or organizing the ending pics in the gallery. Also in every ending the title screen always changes in different ending pics. I like it but when I see that the first time I am like will it returned back to normal? or the ending pic will stay there.
Second I still see bugs in the updated game. I already deleted the old demos and still there are some errors in the updated game or stuck from the demo? when I play . Here are the list from pressing some items
Bustier Black still in inventory even if I gave Fuyuka the gift (Don’t know if that’s a bug but it works in changing outfits)
That’s all the errors I encountered while I played the new version. Hope this helps you
Overall I really enjoyed the game after I bought it. I enjoy the story more by reaching out to the happiest ending made me satisfied. If anyone read this I recommend you tried this game. I support your game
did you delete your save files in the renpy folder as well?
if you havent then that's why the old save files are still there and why your game could be buggy because of the influence of the old save files / also reinstal the game after deleting renpy folder after that should be fine
Hi SGPanda I appreciate you helping me. I don’t have a renpy folder . So are you saying that I been getting these errors is because of the old files I saved? First I already deleted the demos and the older updates before the current version. While getting the game there are 2 versions the folder is called BB v 1.2 (current) & BottleBiosphere . The BB folder works while the other has more errors than the other so I deleted that. While playing the BB folder that’s where I started to discover some items and I explore all the items with errors with it. During that time I still have the old gameplay saved in the new version but I never deleted in game because I don’t know how to delete them inside the game. I only deleted the old game folders.
There is this other technique I tried. I oversave or saved the new version of the game over the old saves, deleted and reinstalled the game and still got the errors. I was able to get the endings in the new update game at least. I wish I could enjoy the game without these errors :( Where you able to play game without these errors? I am guessing that if anyone is new and just downloaded the game without the older versions will be able to enjoy the game without errors.
Any suggestion for using the Love Potion? I don't know how to activate it according to the pc's hint.
The hint is to go home at evening or midnight, and I have to ask her at bed, and I have the love potion, but nothing happens when I go home at those times, and there are no additional dialogues at the bed or in the hevents at the bed.
Hello Degenpink. For me I went to the love and caring path since the start of the updated game so what I did is just basically do normal things basically by just either patting her head, giving food, sleeping with her or just following what the pc says that leads into a scene etc. Then after doing that I just bought the potion between late night. Go to work , then I went home between 18:00 or 19:00 evening time then the scene starts. That’s how i got it
The potion will only work in the new update version of the game. I tried that one time with the old demo version of the game and it didn’t work so I restarted from zero to go on and finish the game. Hope this helps you.
Hey Mr French Fries. Thank you for the suggestion! I'm at the end of the good/caring path as well, and tried that timing with the potion, but hearing you got it is encouraging. Perhaps I still have an old version, though the pc gives the love potion hint, so I assume that scene exists in the same version? Perhaps not though.
Regardless thank you for the suggestion and I will test those instructions and go from there.
I love the content of this game, but I have to say the gameplay is really unpleasant.
Specifically, the rng injuries that randomly and pointlessly make progressing through the exorbitant amount of grinding, with weekly requirements or you simply lose, wasting more time, are all genuinely annoying. Imo there is no benefit to high weekly work requirements, and definitely no benefit to the rng injuries. It all makes interacting with, what is otherwise a lovely game, genuinely unpleasant and frustrating, and detracts from the nice story and well made scenes. The process of everything around them is so unnecessarily unpleasant to interact with.
Imho, the amount of daily menu juggling between food and water and bathing and work plus injuries being a constant and pointless time-waste is just too much. Imo this game would be much much better with more forgiving money tuning, and just removing injuries outright.
Hope this didn't come off as ungrateful, I love the game, just think it got a bit hamstrung by these parts. Love the story and visuals, the gameplay gives me a headache.
Glad to see you back Kumo, it's been a long hiatus. Wishing this game best of luck! Sadly I can't purchase the game, I really enjoy the demo. I don't know if you announce it on Twitter or Kickstarter that you'll suddenly release the Full Game and ending the latest Demo as is. I'm not complaining or anything but it such a massive cliffhanger but in a good way, just sad that I can't purchase it.
Anyways it's been a good 5 months run with this game I'd like to see this game grow much more thanks again, thank you for bringing Demo for free.
And yes if you're new at this game this is SO worth it check it out :)
I am glad to see you again too, noodles. You are around here when I first started making the game 2 years ago. I am happy you are still here!
I have some miscommunication with the publisher and they released the game earlier then my schedule. So I am as surprise as you are when I got the news.
It's ok if you cant purchase it, there is many way to support the game. Just leaving comment and review already helps a lot.
Thank you Kumo! Really appreciate you noticing, cheers to you.
Hope you consider my recommendation in your last update in Demo. Would love to see that or least resemblance of it when I finally can purchase the game.
I'd be back at that time, probably be able to purchase it. Supporting you as much as I could! Keep it up Kumo thank you again, you made my day :)
m8, I am liking what i am seeing in the game, but I am at 20+ days and still do not have the talk option, nor the option to do anything other than convenience store. What am i doing wrong??
Hi guys, so update so far in the game. I emailed op and he said that he found a full-time job so he can't focus much on the game. Aside that we'd have to wait in all honesty.
So still playing this as my time allows but thought would put a couple thoughts here - wow is this grindy. Especially in the beginning not much happens except going to work and head patting her. I make enough money to buy her things but she doesn't take them. Also slightly confused on how the fatigue/injury system works. I end up with enough stamina left to do another shift based on the amount of stamina it says doing the job takes - but it seems to almost always have me end up in the hospital if I work again and injury chance is only 1 or 2 percent. Not sure if this is working as intended..
I notice the fatigue rng too. I think it's unintentional, probably some bugged codes or whatnot. The early grind from the beginning too, it's super grindy tbh. Most of the items you'll give to Fuyuka will not do much in the early stages of the game. I'll suggest buying the laptop first so you can get a hint of what to do next.
Next big patch will probably the end of Demo. Most of the bugs will be fix at that time probably, you tell the bugs that you find here so that op can know it sooner.
I had the same bug. Perhaps did you already reach 400 or 200 romance level with her? Supposedly you can give her panties after you reach 400-200 points in romance with her. So just keep dating
Mine didn't work too. OP has gone silent again, I wish everything's fine with him. Sadly we have to wait until OP release some patch notes or event small updates so far. But OP hinted that he's reworking 80-90% of the animation of the game so (renpy compatibility stuffs) it'll take some time for the next update. Sadge
Based on the strength of the comments below and the love of the game I just donated 8 dollars (and well patron closing your account and what that usually means - stay true to your beliefs!) Do hope some NSFW is in the game now but you did say it wasn't. Playing now and will post a review using the system here when done. Can I request a route where you shatter her frozen heart - you can even give it a "bad" ending that leads to character death...(I am terrible I know)
So I have noticed that the Low cut and tight skirt(purple) is bugged, after I gave it to her it stayed in my inventory and when I tried to put it on her it caused an error that crashed the game. Also I cant figure out what to do with the Love Potion or the Comic LA, I have tried everything I could think of for both. I also cant figure out the Bartender Tool set.
Take your time, Also the computer keeps telling me "we have all the games here" when ever I look for advice, but it only says it when she is asleep in bed, idk if this is a bug or not so I thought I would mention it
I dont think i have any pc in the game, and the game's stuck at moment of girl just being at my apartments. I've unlocked clothes and gifts but she wont accept them
It need extra work to add mosaic, so I work on it first and use it for the demo. After I finish adding all the voice and sound effect to the censored version, I can copy the whole setting to the uncensored one.
Your back! It's been awhile since you last updated your game I started over since my last save file giving me errors. it's beautifully written, Fuyuka scars are inside. I want to say it but I'll avoid spoilers. Either way I'm glad your back! Although I have no idea if the game ended for the current version but still it's quite enjoyable and I'm quite surprised she went yandere when I came back, quite a development don't mind me not I like yandere and stuff and I don't hate them, I'm no writer but the development of her story really gets deep when you finally know her. Can't wait for more future update! You did great!
So are you unable to use some of the clothing in the current version? I ask because I have all the date spots and locations unlocked yet I'm not allowed to give her new underwear, every time I try she refuses to take them. Also I bought the nurse outfit and don't see it as an option while changing her clothes.
Fuyuka refused because your relationship with her is not close enough, maybe you should spend more time with her, buy her a gift, and eventually become lover...then you can give her underwear.
You have to go through several events to get there, if you are not sure what to do next, buy pc and use “ Search for advice“. It will show you the condition of next event!
I have the ability to have sex and shower with her and have have had three different sex events unlocked so far. Also with some of the items from the festival date location there is a few bugs as well. The mask you can buy doesn't show up after buying it while you change her clothes, neither does the nurse outfit. And a few pieces of the Neko set cause error codes when I try to put them on her. Other then these few things the game works fine. I may start a new save and see if its a bug caused by trying to buy and give her underwear before the sex events where unlocked. If it works ill let you know
No problem, Also I made a new save and am up to the first H event that happens and I still cant give her the underwear though I'm not sure what event makes it so she will accept them, but ill be sure to let you know what other bugs pop up.
I had a chance to get back to it and in fact replayed it from the start, this time being careful not to run out of stamina too often or money ever. The more I play it, the more I like it, and I have just paid you some money for it through this site. Really looking forward to the proper non-demo version. What you have already is almost there.
Fuyuka is an endearing character - well done, and the MC is OK too. The player can make him act like obnoxiously, but if he is reasonably decent and patient, it goes well.
If it is not obvious, the following is in praise of the plot as is, but since it is a demo, some suggestions too.
While comparisons are odious, they also a bit inevitable. Fuyuka has a bit of Silvie in her from Teaching Feeling, although Fuyuka's scars are all on the inside. There's also a bit of Yuu in her from 1Room Runaway Girl. Please don't let Fukuya get as dependant as Silvie can get. I know some players like their heroines quite yandere, but not everyone one does. I don't know how it fits the plot you have in mind but Fukuya can still be head over heels in love with the MC without being a total yandere. Yuu is a good model, she loves her MC deeply, but is also quite independent. (If you played this VN have a look at the epilogue in the gallery where Yuu is expecting her baby but also planning their new life and explaining her part time job. Very satisfying. That couple has a future. I should point out that getting the epilogue scene is a bit tricky, you have to do a few non-obvious things and then go look for it in the gallery. No prompting, and if you didn't look you would never see it.) Silvie on the other hand just seems to sink into a mire of dependency, ending up a one dimensional character. Silvie could, for example, have studied to be a proper nurse, not just the cardboard cutout she plays, and become a real asset to the MC's practice all the while remaining his devoted lover. These are not mutually exclusive goals.
Seeing Fukura taking on some meaningful role like partnering the MC in running a business, or being a mother where she uses her own horror childhood experience to do it right, might make fitting good ends to the VN. A full-on yandere end is also fine to appeal to those who like it, but make it an avoidable option please. Fukuya and the MC have the makings of proper multi-dimensional characters even in a H VN.
I was really impressed with the "confession" scene on the swings at the park - very moving for a H VN, which are mostly not even close to this well thought through in general. I also liked the recovery for that, although was initially confused. I got a couple of responses "wrong" the first time, and I was expecting a forced end when she returned the aprtment key. But instead Fukuya came back to the apartment, and then it got really confusing. When I clicked on Fukuya, a second Fukuya appeared and responded in Jpanese. I had to resort to my phone to translate what she had to say from the screen. Even then it wasn't totally clear until the park scene repeated by itslef the next day and the MC was given a "second chance". Love the principle - no dead end- but implementation could be improved.
I know for some of your other comments you prefer the Unity game engine to Ren'py, but as a player I am so pleased you did not go the Unity path. I am no fan of the Unity interface, and it deters me from playing these games. I suspect you have turned off certain Ren'py features like rolling back with the mouse wheel to alter decisions, but I hope you will re-enable them. It makes reversing an accidental or stupid mistake so much easier. Games should not be like real life where a mistake is mostly irreversible and carries consequences, sometimes disastrous. We have enough of that in real life, and we don't need it in games as well. Games are supposed to be an escape from such realities.
Also watch for other errant Jpanese remaining in the English version. I saw another one of those when I ran out stamina/food/water and Fukuya gave me another one of her "Charms of Health" - a lovely idea - but how to use them? Some hints would be good. Are they are preventive or a cure after the event? See one of the attached pictures. Another "ghost" Fukuya.
There is also an issue in the code somewhere when playing the JRPG game. You see this on playing the JRPG game:
I chose "Ignore" and the game continued with no sign of mal-operation, but under the hood? But who knows? - I hope you do.
Well, that's enough for now. Keep up the good work and I hope your troubles remain at bay. Best of luck and kind regards.
Yes. Yes. And yes!!! The game so WORTH IT! I haven't seen anyone praise the plot. I like how the plot works OP. But i'll be frank, the last part feels rush? I feel like it could go a little bit more, she still haven't open much about her family and her history. I get it that it's demo and I'm just making recommendation. Can't wait for the official game version to be release, and if you like Teaching Feelings, this game has that vibe. HIGHLY Recommended playing this game
So pleased to see you back, I hope the troubles you have mentioned in the past have gone away. They sounded pretty serious, so I am surprised and delighted to see you back. Good effort too, given you are likely working on your own, with less than ideal conditions. Couple of comments intended in the spirit of making what a game with great potential even better:
There are cases where the segment of the day indicator (eg, evening) gets confused with the time of day, eg 20:00, so it is supposed to be 8PM, but the game tells me it is midnight and Fuyuka is sleeping. She should not be sleeping at 8M but instead leaning aginst the door near the kitchen entrance where she usually sits waiting for chat or head pats. This inhibits headpats as she is asleep instead and the game admonishes the MC for not head patting her. Slows progress for no reason and is confusing. Maybe your code is looking at the wrong variable?
Events sometimes turn up as a bit of a shock. For example, the presentation of the apartment key just kind of happens and interrupts the flow of the game. I understand it is a required step to progress, but a bit better integration to the rest of the game flow would help.
Same goes for dating Fuyuka. It is a welcome development, but it comes from nowhere at a random time, and in my case the "Date Fukuya" option was revealed at 9PM on a game" Friday night". Nice reveal and we can feel a bit of her heart melt by the way, so not at all bad in that way, but the timing and introduction feels clumsy.
Now I don't know where this goes eventually, but the only place to take her at the start of dating is the park. And no self-respecting MC is going to take his favourite girl to the park at 9PM to watch sparrows that are in the trees asleep for the night. How about showing the dating option only at appropriate times, say like on weekends day time?
Also the dating option icon overlaps the icon for head pats and it is hard to head pat her as the interface interprets it as a date request. Moving the icons apart would help.
Finally I was too busy dating her and missed the fact that I could not afford the rental payment and was subjected to the sudden death end "Expensive girl" or something similar. Now many games have such sudden death features and I would have to say I hate every single one of them. Developers may think they are dramatic and wonderful, but as a player they are a classic pain. If you have spent significant time grinding away at progress and miss just one critical point through inattention to saving, hours of play are lost and must be repeated for no gain.
If you must have fatal outcomes that terminate the game, at least warn the player or autosave somehow so hours of grinding are not lost. This game involves a lot of grinding to make what seems like precious little progress at times, and if you don't happen to be a diligent saver of the game getting a dead halt that is irreversible is downright annoying.
I do understand that saving is a user responsibility, but my most precious commodity is time and losing it to an arbitrary Developer decision to terminate a game without any recourse is downright irksome. Sufficiently irked players drop games and never come back. Perhaps consider an option to turn dead stops off?
It is one thing if a player chooses to replay a game knowing the grinding cost, but is downright rude of a Developer to make the decision for a player about how they are to use their time. Understand clearly, repetitious grinding might be good to string a game out but it is NOT entertainment.
Anyway, enough whinging, good job and significantly better than demo 1, I look forward to future updates.

How to ask her on bed?
I just bought the game after enjoying the demo, and things were going smoothly until i tried to but a movie, and due to a type, the game looked for a "moive" and crashed
Seems like a pretty good demo, I'm very willing to pay for it, but I don't have paypal. Is there any other means such as cashapp or a debit card?
I don't think itch have other payment method.
https://www.dlsite.com/maniax/work/=/product_id/RJ305192.html/?locale=en_US
If you want to support me, you can buy the game on DLsite, it accept debit card.
Maybe I am just stupid... but how do you start the game? I bought the game, downloaded it, and then unzipped it but I am unable to find the application to start it. I have never had this problem with any other game on itch.io.
You can start the game with BottleBiosphere.exe
It is possible that your firewall or antivirus deleted the exe file when you unzip it. Renpy occasionally mistaken as virus.
hello devs,
I really like the game, but i cant seem to find the apron, comic LA, nor the love potion. Will you help me with this?
Buy "PC", search "location", go to "suspicious store", then you can find all the item you need.
Thank you for responding. So i went to the store and there are only 2 things in stock, the suspicious energy drink and the AV (5 in 1 special)
Because you are playing the demo?
No, i deleted my saves from the demo and i bought the finished version.
This has nothing to do with the save, the demo shop only have 2 items.
Somehow your finished version has the demo shop? I am not sure what is going on.
Will there be a android release
No plan on that now.
oh ok
尊敬的开发者，你好，我是来自亚洲，我很喜欢你们做的游戏，不过，你们的游戏在亚洲存在大量“免费破解版”，我想可能是因为这款游戏的购买渠道的问题，我希望你们可以把你们的游戏上传至大一点的游戏平台，比如：STEAM。这一定会让这款游戏有更多的玩家，期待你们接下来的游戏进展！ヾ(◍°∇°◍)
Dear developer, Hello, I'm from Asia. I like your games very much. However, there are a lot of "free cracked versions" of your games in Asia. I think it may be because of the purchase channel of this game. I hope you can transfer your games to a larger game platform, such as steam. This will definitely make this game have more players. Look forward to your next game progress!ヾ(◍°∇°◍)
謝謝你的建議，可惜steam已經拒絕了我的遊戲，而且我在DLsite上也有販賣。
免費破解版是我早已預想的情況，這並非渠道問題，你看有哪個在steam的遊戲是沒被破解的？
我沒制作中文版也正是這原因，反正勞力也得不到回報。
この一節は翻訳ツールを使用していますが、一部の部分は理解しにくいかもしれません。ご容赦ください。
ボトルバイオスフィアの著者であるあなたを見つけることができたのは、なんと嬉しいことでしょう。まず最初に、心から気持ちを伝えたい、これは本当にすばらしい作品です。私は中国人です。あなたの作品に関する情報にアクセスするために、グレート・ファイアウォールを迂回するためにどれほどの努力が必要だったのか、あなたは知らないかもしれませんが、私はようやくそのことを知ることができ、これは、私がどのように感動したかを表現しているのかもしれません。私はあなたの作品の感情に本当に感動しました-不幸な少女の心の変化、特に少女にはまったく方向性がないという混乱の感覚が私を刺します、そしてそれから私は彼女のしびれと閉じ込めを感じることができます心臓。これらの感情は抑圧の中で芸術的に表現されています...とても感動的で、それは一種の内なる震えです。私はあなたの仕事に心から感心します、芸術的な意味合いが豊富だと思います。
無料のひびの入ったバージョンに関する質問、中国人として、このような一節を目にするのは心が痛む、しかしそれはあなたのせいではなく、私は非常に有罪で申し訳ありません。中国人の海賊版問題は、すでに世界的に悪名高いのでしょうか？オイ..。私たちは人口の多い国です、しかし、人口の質は少し低いです、私たちの国はこれを認めています、国の基本的な条件として定義され、教科書にも載っているくらいです。グレートファイアウォールの存在により、世界のインターネットにアクセスできる中国人はごくわずかであり、国内の巨大な海賊版市場を生み出しています。さらに、おそらく中国人の消費レベルはまだ比較的低いです、2,750円は約136人民元で、すでに1ヶ月分の食事代であり、多すぎます。一般的にはゲームに10元(202円)程度払えますが、20元(404円)程度は慎重に考えなければなりません。これは防御ではなく、著作権侵害は確かに間違っていますが、著しかし、我々の海賊版市場は人々から拒絶されています、著作権侵害は抵抗されています。新世代のゲームグループは、優れた作品にお金を払って作者を尊重しますが、人口が多いため、著作権侵害は依然として非常に広範囲に広がっています。しかし、あなたは知っていますか？ 海賊版をプレイした後、本物のバージョンを購入する人が増えています！ 私たちは最初に著作権侵害を通じてゲームについて学び、その後、より多くの人々に本物のバージョンを購入するように促すコミュニティを形成しました。これにより、中国は依然として著作権侵害に満ちているように見えますが、でも実は本物のグループも拡大していて巨大な市場にもなっていますが、こちら側はめったに気づかれないようです...惹かれる前に海賊版も最初にプレイしました、本物のコピーを購入していないので羞恥ずかしいです。時間がかかります。ごめんなさい。その証拠に、私はsteamでhoi4、Stellaris、terrariaを買っています......。信じてください、海賊版は現在、体験版としての利用が多くなっています。 また、自分たちのために購入したゲームが、より良い作品を作るための作者の支援になることも嬉しいことです。
まだいくつかの提案がありますが、今日は非常に遅いです。最後までお読みいただき、ありがとうございました。また、優れた作品をありがとうございました。
找到您真是太高兴了，《ボトルバイオスフィア》的作者你好。首先我想真心的表达我的感受，这真的是个伟大的作品，我是中国人，你也许不知道绕过防火长城来查阅您作品的相关资料有多费力，但我终于还是了解了很多，这也许可以证明我受到的触动，我真的被您作品中的情感触动——不幸的少女的内心一点点的转变，尤其是少女没有方向的迷茫感刺痛了我，接着是内心的麻木与闭锁。在压抑中这些情感艺术地表现出来...太令人动心了，是一种内心的震颤。我真心地赞美您的作品，它具有丰富的艺术内涵。
关于免費破解版的问题，我作为一个中国人看到这样的文段实在痛心，但并不是您的错，并且我十分愧疚并抱歉。我们中国人在盗版问题上在全世界已经臭名昭著了吗？唉..。我们是一个人口大国，但人口素质偏低，这我们国家承认，甚至定为了基本国情，甚至编进了教材。因为防火长城的存在，能访问全球互联网的中国人很少，这造就了国内巨大的盗版市场，并且，或许中国人的消费水平还比较低，2,750円大概是136人民币，已经是一个月饭菜钱了，这实在太多了。一般的，我们可以为游戏付十元左右，二十元我们就得慎重考虑。这不是打辩护，盗版的确不对，但我们的盗版市场正在被一点点排挤，盗版受到抵制，新一代的游戏群体对优秀的作品愿意掏钱，尊重作者，但是因为人口总量大，盗版仍然传播很广。但你知道吗？实际上即使有这些盗版也已经有越来越多人在玩过盗版后购买了正版！我们先通过盗版了解到游戏，接着组建社区，促使更多人购买正版，这使得看上去中国仍然盗版泛滥，但实际上我们正版的团体也在扩张啊，同样也成为了巨大的市场，但这一面似乎很少被注意...我也是先玩过盗版才被吸引的，但惭愧，我算是消费能力小的，还没有购买您的正版，这需要时间，抱歉。另外作为证明，我在steam上已经买了hoi4，Stellaris，terraria......。请您相信，盗版目前更多的被用作体验，我们也很喜欢看到买下的属于自己的游戏，尤其还能支持作者以创作更好的作品。
还有些建议想说，但时间已经很晚了。非常感谢您能看完，十分感谢您的作品
Hey dear author! I already bought it! Although it's been so long... Thanks for your work and...for the discount......
Hello developer
plot, emotions, everything is great although there are some bugs but this is my favorite game in this genre
Are you planning on making a part two or similar game?
Yes, I am working on the next game now. Same genre, different characters and settings.
thank you i will wait ;)
hi devs
im playing this game and enjoying this game so much
but the game have a bug when i click wake up in day 80 ( my game) and it keep looping
how do i do to fix this now?
thank you
Got the same problem, happened from v1.1 eventually.
Are you guys playing v1.1?
Ah, here comes admin, thank you for replying
That bug appears in v1.1 AND v1.2
No i'm playing v1.2
thank you for replying
if you played early version before, you have to delete the old save file. Both at the game folder and Renpy auto save.
The auto save file usually located at C:\Users\User's name\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\BottleBiosphere-1586329272
Be aware that you will lose all the game process by doing this. Since renpy doesn’t support save file update. I’m sorry about that.
Well if that fixed the problem, I won't mind.
Will try and will reply even if success or not
Tks for solution :3
Well that didn't work.
I deleted old save files, in folder game and in renpy as you said, still, the loop "wake up" didn't disappear.
May be you should consider fix that in next update
This is very weird , this bug you mentioned was from v1.1. I fixed it at v1.2 already. Didn’t receive any report about event loops since v1.2. Just some item displays bug remain so far.
I really not sure what’s going on here, sorry.
When I made love for the first time with her, the next day her line of dialogue was running nonstop and there was no way for me to ignore it, how to fix this?
v1.0?
when i play to day 28 the game is over even though i can tell her and change her clothes i need some advice please
Hi devs and players :3
Enjoying the game so much
So far discovered 3 endings
Currently I'm following love route, around day 110+
The problem is when a new passive conversation begins, with button "wake up", I pressed it and a bunch of conversation passed by, and after that, game sent me back to that "wake up" button, and conversations just repeated. It seems like I stucked in an infinite loop
This bug happened when I played v1.1, now I still experienced this in v1.2.
Any suggestion for my problem? Any help is appreciated :3
Feel free to ask me about errors appeared in game folder if you guys need more info
Thanks
Hello Leino. Have you experienced any item errors as well? I did a comment few days ago.
I tried to continue playing and found it myself, for those who are stuck, pat her head and observe once a day for about three to four days and then go home on Saturday or Sunday at 8am to 9am.
i need some guidance, i don't know where am i going wrong, i have been stroking her head for 28 days and trying to talk but the dialogue still shows she is alert and not comfortable what i should do this
how exactly do you do the "if fuyuka is happy and go home at evening something might happen"?
i cant get that right somehow
i got to the event she confessed to me, and the next event i considered on the computer was "wait 3 days" but i waited 40 days still nothing happened? Im play v1.2
i got the same problem
Same
Hi Kumo . I just want thank you for helping me that one time with the buggy issues. What I did to play the game well is deleting the old demos and starting a new game but for some reason the old demo I saved before is still there but I started the game from zero to the ending. I want to give my comments to the game. First I finish the game by discovering 3 endings from the new update. What I notice from the endings is that some of pics didn’t show up in the gallery and another ending from the gallery didn’t make sense from the story line. For example I got Ending B I follow the story but when I see the gallery why didn’t it show the exact pic during the route? There is also another Ending where is like the same but different path . The A ending have 2 endings but one pic only shown in the gallery. In my opinion if you separate the pics from A like instead of A at the same time it will be like A, B, C or organizing the ending pics in the gallery. Also in every ending the title screen always changes in different ending pics. I like it but when I see that the first time I am like will it returned back to normal? or the ending pic will stay there.
Second I still see bugs in the updated game. I already deleted the old demos and still there are some errors in the updated game or stuck from the demo? when I play . Here are the list from pressing some items
Angel Cosplay
Purple Knot Bikini
Side Hair Long Brown
Missing Knot Cotton colors ( green, pink & purple)
Bustier Black still in inventory even if I gave Fuyuka the gift (Don’t know if that’s a bug but it works in changing outfits)
That’s all the errors I encountered while I played the new version. Hope this helps you
Overall I really enjoyed the game after I bought it. I enjoy the story more by reaching out to the happiest ending made me satisfied. If anyone read this I recommend you tried this game. I support your game
did you delete your save files in the renpy folder as well?
if you havent then that's why the old save files are still there and why your game could be buggy because of the influence of the old save files / also reinstal the game after deleting renpy folder after that should be fine

Hi SGPanda I appreciate you helping me. I don’t have a renpy folder . So are you saying that I been getting these errors is because of the old files I saved? First I already deleted the demos and the older updates before the current version. While getting the game there are 2 versions the folder is called BB v 1.2 (current) & BottleBiosphere . The BB folder works while the other has more errors than the other so I deleted that. While playing the BB folder that’s where I started to discover some items and I explore all the items with errors with it. During that time I still have the old gameplay saved in the new version but I never deleted in game because I don’t know how to delete them inside the game. I only deleted the old game folders.
There is this other technique I tried. I oversave or saved the new version of the game over the old saves, deleted and reinstalled the game and still got the errors. I was able to get the endings in the new update game at least. I wish I could enjoy the game without these errors :( Where you able to play game without these errors? I am guessing that if anyone is new and just downloaded the game without the older versions will be able to enjoy the game without errors.
Any suggestion for using the Love Potion? I don't know how to activate it according to the pc's hint.
The hint is to go home at evening or midnight, and I have to ask her at bed, and I have the love potion, but nothing happens when I go home at those times, and there are no additional dialogues at the bed or in the hevents at the bed.
Hello Degenpink. For me I went to the love and caring path since the start of the updated game so what I did is just basically do normal things basically by just either patting her head, giving food, sleeping with her or just following what the pc says that leads into a scene etc. Then after doing that I just bought the potion between late night. Go to work , then I went home between 18:00 or 19:00 evening time then the scene starts. That’s how i got it
The potion will only work in the new update version of the game. I tried that one time with the old demo version of the game and it didn’t work so I restarted from zero to go on and finish the game. Hope this helps you.
Hey Mr French Fries. Thank you for the suggestion! I'm at the end of the good/caring path as well, and tried that timing with the potion, but hearing you got it is encouraging. Perhaps I still have an old version, though the pc gives the love potion hint, so I assume that scene exists in the same version? Perhaps not though.
Regardless thank you for the suggestion and I will test those instructions and go from there.
I love the content of this game, but I have to say the gameplay is really unpleasant.
Specifically, the rng injuries that randomly and pointlessly make progressing through the exorbitant amount of grinding, with weekly requirements or you simply lose, wasting more time, are all genuinely annoying. Imo there is no benefit to high weekly work requirements, and definitely no benefit to the rng injuries. It all makes interacting with, what is otherwise a lovely game, genuinely unpleasant and frustrating, and detracts from the nice story and well made scenes. The process of everything around them is so unnecessarily unpleasant to interact with.
Imho, the amount of daily menu juggling between food and water and bathing and work plus injuries being a constant and pointless time-waste is just too much. Imo this game would be much much better with more forgiving money tuning, and just removing injuries outright.
Hope this didn't come off as ungrateful, I love the game, just think it got a bit hamstrung by these parts. Love the story and visuals, the gameplay gives me a headache.
Glad to see you back Kumo, it's been a long hiatus. Wishing this game best of luck! Sadly I can't purchase the game, I really enjoy the demo. I don't know if you announce it on Twitter or Kickstarter that you'll suddenly release the Full Game and ending the latest Demo as is. I'm not complaining or anything but it such a massive cliffhanger but in a good way, just sad that I can't purchase it.
Anyways it's been a good 5 months run with this game I'd like to see this game grow much more thanks again, thank you for bringing Demo for free.
And yes if you're new at this game this is SO worth it check it out :)
I am glad to see you again too, noodles. You are around here when I first started making the game 2 years ago. I am happy you are still here!
I have some miscommunication with the publisher and they released the game earlier then my schedule. So I am as surprise as you are when I got the news.
It's ok if you cant purchase it, there is many way to support the game. Just leaving comment and review already helps a lot.
Thank you Kumo! Really appreciate you noticing, cheers to you.
Hope you consider my recommendation in your last update in Demo. Would love to see that or least resemblance of it when I finally can purchase the game.
I'd be back at that time, probably be able to purchase it. Supporting you as much as I could! Keep it up Kumo thank you again, you made my day :)
m8, I am liking what i am seeing in the game, but I am at 20+ days and still do not have the talk option, nor the option to do anything other than convenience store. What am i doing wrong??
1)headpat everyday
2)shower everyday
3)Live with her
4)???
5)profit
Higehiro the game
Hi guys, so update so far in the game. I emailed op and he said that he found a full-time job so he can't focus much on the game. Aside that we'd have to wait in all honesty.
How long does it take to make her comfortable? Its so grindy just head patting.
If you give her gifts like the stuffed sparrow you should only have to pat her head once a day. Also talk to her when you can as well.
So still playing this as my time allows but thought would put a couple thoughts here - wow is this grindy. Especially in the beginning not much happens except going to work and head patting her. I make enough money to buy her things but she doesn't take them. Also slightly confused on how the fatigue/injury system works. I end up with enough stamina left to do another shift based on the amount of stamina it says doing the job takes - but it seems to almost always have me end up in the hospital if I work again and injury chance is only 1 or 2 percent. Not sure if this is working as intended..
I notice the fatigue rng too. I think it's unintentional, probably some bugged codes or whatnot. The early grind from the beginning too, it's super grindy tbh. Most of the items you'll give to Fuyuka will not do much in the early stages of the game. I'll suggest buying the laptop first so you can get a hint of what to do next.
Hey, do you plan to have another bugfix patch until the next big patch?
Next big patch will probably the end of Demo. Most of the bugs will be fix at that time
probably, you tell the bugs that you find here so that op can know it sooner.The biggest one is she is refusing to change her panties, which I already mentioned. Bugfix supposed to fix it, but it didn't.
I had the same bug. Perhaps did you already reach 400 or 200 romance level with her? Supposedly you can give her
pantiesafter you reach 400-200 points in romance with her. So just keep datingIts 463 but its still the same.
Can you share your save if it is working for you?
Mine didn't work too. OP has gone silent again, I wish everything's fine with him. Sadly we have to wait until OP release some patch notes or event small updates so far. But OP hinted that he's reworking 80-90% of the animation of the game so (renpy compatibility stuffs) it'll take some time for the next update. Sadge
Android version when ?
Based on the strength of the comments below and the love of the game I just donated 8 dollars (and well patron closing your account and what that usually means - stay true to your beliefs!) Do hope some NSFW is in the game now but you did say it wasn't. Playing now and will post a review using the system here when done. Can I request a route where you shatter her frozen heart - you can even give it a "bad" ending that leads to character death...(I am terrible I know)
So I have noticed that the Low cut and tight skirt(purple) is bugged, after I gave it to her it stayed in my inventory and when I tried to put it on her it caused an error that crashed the game. Also I cant figure out what to do with the Love Potion or the Comic LA, I have tried everything I could think of for both. I also cant figure out the Bartender Tool set.
There is a typo, I will update it soon.
The Love Potion and Comic LA are for Hevent which will be add at the final game.
For the Bartender Tool set, try 'cooking' 10 times.
Everytime I try cooking I just get an option to drink water nothing else.
Oh, right. some code is missing there! Thanks, I will update it soon.
Take your time, Also the computer keeps telling me "we have all the games here" when ever I look for advice, but it only says it when she is asleep in bed, idk if this is a bug or not so I thought I would mention it
To the right of the drink water option is a cooking apron, if you touch it you cook and fill your hunger statistic
Could i get any walkthrough or something? It's really unclear what should i do as the days go past and nothing changes.
You can use 'search for advice' at PC to check the condition of next event, or maybe you have finished the demo?
I dont think i have any pc in the game, and the game's stuck at moment of girl just being at my apartments. I've unlocked clothes and gifts but she wont accept them
Good job on the bug fix update!, KuMoNoSu. Better than ever. I see the crash on playing the JRPG game remains, here's the crash log:

Hope it helps you track it down, every bug swatted is a win.Keep up the good work.
Nice Game
OMG the game has been updated
Hey, good game!
2 questions tho, do you plan to keep it censored from now on? From what I understand it wasn't censored before?
And do you plan a bugfix patch for the last update? There are a lot of them, especially about clothing items.
1) I use censored material as default when I making the game now, that's why the demo is also censored. I will add the uncensored version later.
2)Yeah, that's probably a bug with the clothing, I will update it soon.
May I ask why did you choose censored? Monetization or just laws?
And thanks for the bugfix :)
It need extra work to add mosaic, so I work on it first and use it for the demo. After I finish adding all the voice and sound effect to the censored version, I can copy the whole setting to the uncensored one.
Yes!
Your back! It's been awhile since you last updated your game I started over since my last save file giving me errors. it's beautifully written, Fuyuka scars are inside. I want to say it but I'll avoid spoilers. Either way I'm glad your back! Although I have no idea if the game ended for the current version but still it's quite enjoyable and I'm quite surprised she went yandere when I came back, quite a development don't mind me not I like yandere and stuff and I don't hate them, I'm no writer but the development of her story really gets deep when you finally know her. Can't wait for more future update! You did great!
So are you unable to use some of the clothing in the current version? I ask because I have all the date spots and locations unlocked yet I'm not allowed to give her new underwear, every time I try she refuses to take them. Also I bought the nurse outfit and don't see it as an option while changing her clothes.
Fuyuka refused because your relationship with her is not close enough, maybe you should spend more time with her, buy her a gift, and eventually become lover...then you can give her underwear.
You have to go through several events to get there, if you are not sure what to do next, buy pc and use “ Search for advice“. It will show you the condition of next event!
There is probably a bug, because looks like switching her underwear is the only thing I can't do it right now, after a lot of sex scenes
I see. I will have a look into that.
Well, it still doesn't work :/
Here, 3 save files to help you identify the bug. Last save from bit more future with dates etc.
https://fex.net/s/os6psda
The current requirement for her to accept underwear as gift is romance level > 200.
When you "observe" Fuyuka and it show "She is in love with you..." means the romance level is above 200.
I have the ability to have sex and shower with her and have have had three different sex events unlocked so far. Also with some of the items from the festival date location there is a few bugs as well. The mask you can buy doesn't show up after buying it while you change her clothes, neither does the nurse outfit. And a few pieces of the Neko set cause error codes when I try to put them on her. Other then these few things the game works fine. I may start a new save and see if its a bug caused by trying to buy and give her underwear before the sex events where unlocked. If it works ill let you know
Mask, Nurse outfit and Neko set. Got it! Thanks.
No problem, Also I made a new save and am up to the first H event that happens and I still cant give her the underwear though I'm not sure what event makes it so she will accept them, but ill be sure to let you know what other bugs pop up.
how do you get the event "if Fuyuka is 'happy' and I 'go home at night', something might happen"
how do you get the event "if Fuyuka is 'happy' and I 'go home at night', something might happen"
Friend, I have the same problem, do you know how to do it now?
Hi again,
I had a chance to get back to it and in fact replayed it from the start, this time being careful not to run out of stamina too often or money ever. The more I play it, the more I like it, and I have just paid you some money for it through this site. Really looking forward to the proper non-demo version. What you have already is almost there.
Fuyuka is an endearing character - well done, and the MC is OK too. The player can make him act like obnoxiously, but if he is reasonably decent and patient, it goes well.
If it is not obvious, the following is in praise of the plot as is, but since it is a demo, some suggestions too.
While comparisons are odious, they also a bit inevitable. Fuyuka has a bit of Silvie in her from Teaching Feeling, although Fuyuka's scars are all on the inside. There's also a bit of Yuu in her from 1Room Runaway Girl. Please don't let Fukuya get as dependant as Silvie can get. I know some players like their heroines quite yandere, but not everyone one does. I don't know how it fits the plot you have in mind but Fukuya can still be head over heels in love with the MC without being a total yandere. Yuu is a good model, she loves her MC deeply, but is also quite independent. (If you played this VN have a look at the epilogue in the gallery where Yuu is expecting her baby but also planning their new life and explaining her part time job. Very satisfying. That couple has a future. I should point out that getting the epilogue scene is a bit tricky, you have to do a few non-obvious things and then go look for it in the gallery. No prompting, and if you didn't look you would never see it.) Silvie on the other hand just seems to sink into a mire of dependency, ending up a one dimensional character. Silvie could, for example, have studied to be a proper nurse, not just the cardboard cutout she plays, and become a real asset to the MC's practice all the while remaining his devoted lover. These are not mutually exclusive goals.
Seeing Fukura taking on some meaningful role like partnering the MC in running a business, or being a mother where she uses her own horror childhood experience to do it right, might make fitting good ends to the VN. A full-on yandere end is also fine to appeal to those who like it, but make it an avoidable option please. Fukuya and the MC have the makings of proper multi-dimensional characters even in a H VN.
I was really impressed with the "confession" scene on the swings at the park - very moving for a H VN, which are mostly not even close to this well thought through in general. I also liked the recovery for that, although was initially confused. I got a couple of responses "wrong" the first time, and I was expecting a forced end when she returned the aprtment key. But instead Fukuya came back to the apartment, and then it got really confusing. When I clicked on Fukuya, a second Fukuya appeared and responded in Jpanese. I had to resort to my phone to translate what she had to say from the screen. Even then it wasn't totally clear until the park scene repeated by itslef the next day and the MC was given a "second chance". Love the principle - no dead end- but implementation could be improved.
I know for some of your other comments you prefer the Unity game engine to Ren'py, but as a player I am so pleased you did not go the Unity path. I am no fan of the Unity interface, and it deters me from playing these games. I suspect you have turned off certain Ren'py features like rolling back with the mouse wheel to alter decisions, but I hope you will re-enable them. It makes reversing an accidental or stupid mistake so much easier. Games should not be like real life where a mistake is mostly irreversible and carries consequences, sometimes disastrous. We have enough of that in real life, and we don't need it in games as well. Games are supposed to be an escape from such realities.
Also watch for other errant Jpanese remaining in the English version. I saw another one of those when I ran out stamina/food/water and Fukuya gave me another one of her "Charms of Health" - a lovely idea - but how to use them? Some hints would be good. Are they are preventive or a cure after the event? See one of the attached pictures. Another "ghost" Fukuya.
There is also an issue in the code somewhere when playing the JRPG game. You see this on playing the JRPG game:
I chose "Ignore" and the game continued with no sign of mal-operation, but under the hood? But who knows? - I hope you do.
Well, that's enough for now. Keep up the good work and I hope your troubles remain at bay. Best of luck and kind regards.
Yes. Yes. And yes!!! The game so WORTH IT! I haven't seen anyone praise the plot. I like how the plot works OP. But i'll be frank, the last part feels rush? I feel like it could go a little bit more, she still haven't open much about her family and her history. I get it that it's demo and I'm just making recommendation. Can't wait for the official game version to be release, and if you like Teaching Feelings, this game has that vibe. HIGHLY Recommended playing this game
Thanks for your opinions and recommend the game!
I wish I can add more events about Fuyuka, but you know...everything's are tight, time and especially the budget...
Regarding about discord server. Do you have one that's available for everyone? In your kickstarter I only saw one (deleted) for kickstarter only.
P.S
I really want to share my idea, and get updates about the game too.
So pleased to see you back, I hope the troubles you have mentioned in the past have gone away. They sounded pretty serious, so I am surprised and delighted to see you back. Good effort too, given you are likely working on your own, with less than ideal conditions. Couple of comments intended in the spirit of making what a game with great potential even better:
There are cases where the segment of the day indicator (eg, evening) gets confused with the time of day, eg 20:00, so it is supposed to be 8PM, but the game tells me it is midnight and Fuyuka is sleeping. She should not be sleeping at 8M but instead leaning aginst the door near the kitchen entrance where she usually sits waiting for chat or head pats. This inhibits headpats as she is asleep instead and the game admonishes the MC for not head patting her. Slows progress for no reason and is confusing. Maybe your code is looking at the wrong variable?
Events sometimes turn up as a bit of a shock. For example, the presentation of the apartment key just kind of happens and interrupts the flow of the game. I understand it is a required step to progress, but a bit better integration to the rest of the game flow would help.
Same goes for dating Fuyuka. It is a welcome development, but it comes from nowhere at a random time, and in my case the "Date Fukuya" option was revealed at 9PM on a game" Friday night". Nice reveal and we can feel a bit of her heart melt by the way, so not at all bad in that way, but the timing and introduction feels clumsy.
Now I don't know where this goes eventually, but the only place to take her at the start of dating is the park. And no self-respecting MC is going to take his favourite girl to the park at 9PM to watch sparrows that are in the trees asleep for the night. How about showing the dating option only at appropriate times, say like on weekends day time?
Also the dating option icon overlaps the icon for head pats and it is hard to head pat her as the interface interprets it as a date request. Moving the icons apart would help.
Finally I was too busy dating her and missed the fact that I could not afford the rental payment and was subjected to the sudden death end "Expensive girl" or something similar. Now many games have such sudden death features and I would have to say I hate every single one of them. Developers may think they are dramatic and wonderful, but as a player they are a classic pain. If you have spent significant time grinding away at progress and miss just one critical point through inattention to saving, hours of play are lost and must be repeated for no gain.
If you must have fatal outcomes that terminate the game, at least warn the player or autosave somehow so hours of grinding are not lost. This game involves a lot of grinding to make what seems like precious little progress at times, and if you don't happen to be a diligent saver of the game getting a dead halt that is irreversible is downright annoying.
I do understand that saving is a user responsibility, but my most precious commodity is time and losing it to an arbitrary Developer decision to terminate a game without any recourse is downright irksome. Sufficiently irked players drop games and never come back. Perhaps consider an option to turn dead stops off?
It is one thing if a player chooses to replay a game knowing the grinding cost, but is downright rude of a Developer to make the decision for a player about how they are to use their time. Understand clearly, repetitious grinding might be good to string a game out but it is NOT entertainment.
Anyway, enough whinging, good job and significantly better than demo 1, I look forward to future updates.
Regards and hope things go better for you.
Wow! Very Appreciated for your detailed comments and suggestions.
I'm pleased to know someone treat my game this seriously, also willing to share your thought to me.
I will look into the problem you have mentioned.
The price of the items, rents and salary were set as close as real life Tokyo, I guess that's mean the life of a poor part-time worker is very hard.
I didn't set the difficulty on purpose, but I will sure adjust the number setting later.
thank you for the update I hope all goes well for you in the future
Thanks for your kind words!
