美术风格简直惊人，音乐也很美……心醉神迷。
The art style and music are amazing!!!
I tend to run into a bug in the demo - I cannot proceed from the main room of the Kabaret even though the Caretaker should start dialogue there.
Hopefully it'll be fixed by the full release! I'm liking as little as I saw already.
Hi, thank you so much for the feedback. Can you describe when and where it happened?
No problem! It was right when the boat ride finished - in the big room with the door and the braziers all around. Nothing progressed for me at that point, the room just remained dark and no dialogue happened.
I see, we will look into this and see if it happen with the latest version. If you don't mind, which platform you played? and have you restart the game and play it again?
This is on the PC. I did try restarting, but ran into the exact same problem.
This is new. Thank you so much for reporting this bug. We will find and kill this bug ASAP. Oh and if you don't mind, you can try to play Steam version and see if the bug still there. :)
Can i play this at joiplay?
is there romance because this was in the nsfw genre lmao
I heard of Kabaret through a Reddit comment (from r/HobbyDrama no less) and I have to say, this is the first visual novel I have played and it feels so good to play! It was really nice to see local myths and monsters represented.
(p.s: my version of the demo had a periodic gong sound playing sometimes in the background music. Is that normal?)
Hello, thank you for the feedback. We will look into this.
I love this! Especially the music, the gamelan was unexpected but fits very nicely. I'll be waiting for the full release, even though visual novels aren't my cup of tea (pardon the pun...).
Ah thank you so much! :D We're so happy to hear you love Kabaret!
:)
Hello! Is this game completed or is this still in progress?
In progress! You can wishlist us on steam here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1525580/Kabaret/ or follow or twitter for updates :D Full game to be released this year!
Gotcha. Thanks very much!
This is a game I'm seriously looking forward to. Glad to see you guys are still working on it
Great to know that you're still looking forward to this game! It means the world to us. :)
This was actually great, and Pontianak was so tragically alluring - horrible and beautiful at the same time. I wish it were a full game. Indonesia is so fascinating
There are creatures similar to Pontianak in Slavic mythology - Vilas, Navkas and Drekavac
