Version 6-2023 already, and still they haven't solved the aimlessly wandering around issue. "Find Ron's brother", without any indication where he could be. This game could be very good, but things like this seriously break it for me. That's why I left their Patreon eventually.
The game really really needs better descriptions for quests, and especially where everything is.
Ok, maybe I´m just stupid, but how do I start the side quests? Nr. 29 is listed in the quest menu for hours now yet there´s still nothing I can do to complete it (same problem for 27, 31, 35, 36, 38).
Also, where is the "somewhere" where Hermione needs to get the Sperm from in Quest 39?
And I wish one could control the characters with WASD instead of mouse clicking
Quest 29 - Library -> Spellcraft (Charms) Class -> the outskirts of Hogsmeade. Quest 39 - Toilet in the Castle Dungeon. Almost all side quests are for Patreons. Keyboard controls are there - they are arrows.
Also, is there a certain time when you can enter the photo club? I literally could never enter this room, not for side quests and not for the main quest. It is that Room labeled "Photo Circle" near the great hall, right?
To enter the photo club you need a "photo club membership card".It should be given to Parvati Patil in the Gryffindor common room. The club member card can be seen in the inventory in "key items".
Quest 61 is a Side Quest.It does not affect 62. 62 starts when 59 is completed. The part where you need to help Professor Sprout. After that, Ron and Harry will have to be found in self-training.
I can only agree with the other feedback here: too vague descriptions as to where to go (on that note, can someone tell me where to find the moon grass in quest 26? And where is the Photo club?)
Travel is way too boring for the time that it takes, with the fast travel into the dungeon being the only option there. How about Fast Travel to all the important points?
And also, this game isn`t playable on Android. As someone else mentioned, you only get an error message when trying to open the menu, which makes it impossible to save manually or use any of the items. And given that there are no autosave points in the game, it means everytime you start this on Android, you`re starting at the beginning
Also, when looking up the memories and pressing esc once, you get the option to quit. but if instead of clicking that "yes" you press esc again, the memory image doesn`t disappear and you`re just stuck with it. Not even after reloading or restarting the game. You`d have to start a new save game, which after hours playing is annoying.
How about in the next update the game when loading a save file checks if there are any memory images active and kills those? (I don`t kow your code, just an idea to fix this)
The October update still has the same hide-and-seek quests...
Quest 23: "Find the girls", not to mention quests like "Find this and that place, Hermione knows where it is". Would be nice if she told us then.
I will gladly become a Patreon to this game, but only after these frustrations are solved. In its current form, the game cannot be played enjoyably, imho.
I love the concept, and much of the game. However I have to echo what most other posters are saying, and this is a general comment about the mechanics of gameplay.
The clues are too vague, the locations ambiguous, and the quest log often doesn't present the full clue anyway. Like many of us, I've struggled to locate the correct locations for quests, and find searching the entire castle, grounds and surroundings to be tedious rather than enjoyable.
The maps don't encourage fast travel between locations - they look nice, but there are too many obstacles between places to make it easy to run - also, what's with the wandering animals that get in the way? Hermione blocked by a frog?
When collecting a herb, we get "Herb collected", followed by "This will come in handy for potions". Which is very useful the 1st time, and maybe the 2nd or even the 3rd. By the 48th time I really hate it and am ready to break the computer.
Please take this feedback positively - despite these the game is still enjoyable and interesting to play.

Quest 65: I need to find Neville.
I have looked everywhere I can think of, but still can't find him. Please help?
He is self-preparing. Draws another poster))
Quest 59: Hermione needs to find out who is harming the plants in the garden.
Am I supposed to wait until nightfall?
Yes, you have to come at night. You can skip time in the library.
Quest 45: meet with Harry and Ron...
Last time I did this, I didn't need any help. Now I have no clue where they are?
The guys are waiting for Hermione in the courtyard (lower left corner).

Yeah, there´s one side quest which is marked as Patreon only, but the rest isn´t

In quest 72: "Check for the ministry" Where is Irma??
In gym.
I have problems with passage from my old saves (patreon). Do you have me a save file from about 62 or help?
What is the problem with the save file?
I dont see the next quest (62) 61I have completed. I think Harry and Ron should be in the self study room?
Quest 61 is a Side Quest. It does not affect 62. 62 starts when 59 is completed. The part where you need to help Professor Sprout. After that, Ron and Harry will have to be found in self-training.
yes thx i know, but 59 is also fully completed, and they are not in self training.
Could you send your save file. Let's try to figure it out.

1. Moon grass in quest 26: 1 - Outskirts of Hogsmeade; 2 - Farms near Hagrid (exit to the right).
2. Photoclub in the Great Hall (bottom, left).
3. There are no fast travel points yet. The game is at an early stage of development.
4. The problem of the android version is known to us. We'll try to fix it in the next version.
P.S. The next update is scheduled for February 17th.

We'll see it.
Does the dev ever read these comments?
Read.
Yaaay!! Thumbs up!
