This is a really awesome fan-game of Hell Taker. I really like how you moved every character farther than "look at that hot girl". Every single one has a great arc so far, even if the game is still a demo. I love the interactions all feel so nice. I don't know why Taker wanted a harem, everyone just seems to be friends. You definitely untilize him very well. The only demon who has their stuff worked out (mostly), is Justice, so it makes sense that we get the most Taker lore from here. I'm defenitly excited for the next update. All the extra lore you add makes me sad that this isn't officially canon, because it's all so well thought out.
So, I'm already a decent way through this game and have been having a wonderful time. Ever since I finished the game (still need to catch up on the DLC) I've felt that the core cast had a lot of potential for storytelling and unique interactions. I feel like this game delivers on that idea, and adds to it by creating an expanded story with new characters that I so far have had a lot of fun with.
My one problem is some confusion I'm having with navigating the story. Initially I thought it would be as simple as either choosing which character to interact with at random or listed from start to finish (left-to-righ). But as the story has progressed I find there are points where I wonder if I needed to see them in a distinct order to make the most sense. Was this game written with an intended order to who you interacted with each time, or is that somewhat up in the air? I greatly enjoy this game regardless, but would like some clarification on this part.
It's not exactly even that. After the segment changes between the second and third set of dates and the major conflict drivers of the game are introduced, Helltaker is suddenly aware of what is going on (and who to watch out for) with little explanation of when or where this was explained to him. I understand that characters like Lucifer are more aware, but I feel like another scene or even a brief interaction would explain what has set this up.
Ok, that aside, once more, this is a legitimately fun game and I adore what is being done here. I wouldn't be surprised if my little gripe is unfounded and I've skimmed over something.
Yes, I noticed that as well, there it is not very well explained when Taker was made aware of the four demon lords going from the second round of dates to the third, aside from that and the order this game is really great
Hello, I would like to say that I really liked this game, it is beautiful, the story is very interesting, the graphics and the animation are also wonderful, and I appreciate this beautiful work, thank you very much, and I am eagerly waiting for the next updates.<3
I have an issue with the save files. All these files keep poping up in my desktop. Please. help. I love this game, but none of my saves work... I just like 3 hours of play.
First of all, I love this game! The feels hit just right and the lore keeps keeps me invested and check whenever there's new content!
Inspired me that friendship and romance is worth it after some unfortunate circumstances, I'll definitely try and provide it to everyone I find welcome.
I do have one question though. Is there a way to get the sprites for the characters or is it not allowed?
I would like to use it as stickers since the team's artwork looks so cute!
Hello, dear developers. I have a question this game has the Russian language?. More specifically, the Russifier if yes please help me find it, if not, when will be added approximately. This is all thanks for the wonderful game)
A small tid-bit for you unless you already figured it out from all reports you got. The engine you use saves everything in .sav files and happy coinsedence that this is the same formatting which is used in Titanfall 2 and L4D-s. I am not sure if tyrano allows to change that at all but I guess you can just create a folder named save data and drop stuff in it near the game.exe to avoid confusion.
First off, thanks for the game! I enjoyed it immensely. You did an excellent job fleshing out Vanripper's characters, to the point that I'd say this visual novel is more interesting than the game it's based on.
Secondly, I hope it is okay to ask this question here. No problems if you can't respond, but just to make sure I won't catch anyone by surprise, I'm going to put a spoiler warning here:
SPOILERS BELOW
So, if you get the first two Beelzebub dates before Lucifer's final date, you get a choice of whether you want to ask about the Abyss or about Cerberus's history. Regardless of your choice, the Taker then thinks he has to talk with a certain girl, now that he has some important info. If you don't ask about the Abyss, that girl is, presumably, Cerberus.
Does that mean that, if I choose to ask about the Abyss and get Beel's third date, Cerberus's future dates will somehow be impacted? Will this be a case of us having to choose between helping Cerberus or Beel? Or do you guys intend to give the Taker another way of helping Cerberus in the final game?
Is all the version 0.20, 0.21, 0.30, 0.31, and 0.40 are they all just sequals from each other. First one being 0.20 and last being one 0.40. Or is the 0.40 version the last version with everything combined. Because I'm trying to download 0.20- 0.31 through downloads but it only shows 0.40, and the zip for the 0.20 - 0.31 doesn't a link for it to be download just a The Second Circle v0.2.exe with no link. This is my first time even using this type of application so I maybe overthinking this.
Hello I have a question for a music/ theme in a certain part of a date. In the second date of Malina we go to karaoke place and when Justice and Zdrada there's a music and I want to find the name of it or the creator of the music. Thanks for reading and I hope someone can help me with that. ^v^
Wow, the writing is great. It's cool to finally see the characters move and fleshed out; props to Void and Dana for the amazing art and CGs. Looking forward to more!
Just wanted to say this game is absolutely incredible so far and I cannot wait for the next update. Fingers crossed it comes soon! Keep up the great work guys!

You can experience the dates in any order, although this is something we have been considering altering.

Hello, will there be an android version for this. I really got to play this game, looks great
An android version, may happen, but not for a while.
Hello, I would like to say that I really liked this game, it is beautiful, the story is very interesting, the graphics and the animation are also wonderful, and I appreciate this beautiful work, thank you very much, and I am eagerly waiting for the next updates.<3
Hello I was wondering if you are going to make a version for android if not that's fine
An android version, may happen, but not for a while.
How do I get the game to open? when I download the file for windows I just get an .exe file, it would really help me a lot if I could get an answer.
I am writing this from a translator so sorry if the text is not very coherent
You place the EXE wherever you like and double click on it to open it.
Does this mod support WIndows 11?
Because for some reason it won't let me play.
The game has not been tested on Windows 11. This is something we plan to do in the future.
Sweet! Can't wait.
I have an issue with the save files. All these files keep poping up in my desktop. Please. help. I love this game, but none of my saves work... I just like 3 hours of play.
And the auto button isn't working.
those files need to remain where they are placed for your saves to work. If you move them, you will lose the data.
is there a spanish version?
First of all, I love this game! The feels hit just right and the lore keeps keeps me invested and check whenever there's new content!

I do have one question though. Is there a way to get the sprites for the characters or is it not allowed?

will the game be ported to android in the future?
Truly a phenomenal project! I can't praise the writing and art enough, thank you for creating this. I can't wait to see the next update.
This is a fangame, which mean you can do whatever you want with it right?
We do have to follow some rules the original creator of HellTaker set out. But in regards to the story, it is fairly our own vision.
what rules? Does that include NSFW content?
Team 133 confirmed in a previous comment several months ago that NSFW content is indeed planned :)
but when?
Ahh, now that..I am also wondering!
I am so sad I can't play this, if you have the time can you pleases make a Linux build of this? if not that is fine.

Good afternoon, I want to ask a question.When I open the file, it says "A 64-bit system is needed".Can your development team make a 32-bit version?
Hello, dear developers. I have a question this game has the Russian language?. More specifically, the Russifier if yes please help me find it, if not, when will be added approximately. This is all thanks for the wonderful game)
This game does not have the Russian Language at the moment. It may be added in the future.
Sadly(
Hey guys, I just installed version "0.4" of "Second Circle"
So I want to know...
¡¿ Why does it appear to me that I installed "Left 4 Dead 2" ?!
I didn't download it wrong, how do I know?
Because the "EXE" has the icon (image) of Zdrada.
But when I started playing, the game created two additional "SAV" formats for me.
And they both have an icon of the cover of "Left 4 Dead 2" and when I click "enter" it sends me to "Left 4 Dead 2"
¿Why? ¿?
That certainly is odd. The SAV files are purely there to save your game data. You do not need to open them.
A small tid-bit for you unless you already figured it out from all reports you got.
The engine you use saves everything in .sav files and happy coinsedence that this is the same formatting which is used in Titanfall 2 and L4D-s. I am not sure if tyrano allows to change that at all but I guess you can just create a folder named save data and drop stuff in it near the game.exe to avoid confusion.
(I'm using "Google Translate", so what I'm saying may not be understood. Sorry about that.)
First. Thank you very much for the game, it is amazing.
Second. Apparently, there is already a version in Spanish, but...
¿Were you the ones who translated it into Spanish?
We did not translate the game into Spanish officially.
Oh! I get it. thanks guys for answering. 🤗

version 0.4 is the most recent version. it has all of the content from version 0.2 to 0.31 as well
Will this game have a translation into Brazilian Portuguese or an English dubbing?
Are you going to add Baphomet in the game ?
No. Baphomet will not appear in the game.
The game will be on the Russian
Maybe in the future.
Will there be a Android ver. In the the future?
Possibly
how long will the games route be?
will we see them mary and have kids and how they raise them ?
or is it more short term ?
Okay, the update came out, I'm going to drink like I said
The game is only in English at the moment
