This game is exactly what I needed! I can't believe how much I was being flustered and blushing, I literally melt in every turn and every word. You really catch the spirit of the original characters! Thank you so much for making this demo available!
(Edit, I accidentally uploaded the wrong video, now it is the correct one)
Now, ladies and gentlemen, come watch me have a meltdown playing this game, come heard my awesome voice, and watch me melt every two minutes. You will enjoy it! ;)
Is there a walkthrough for Mac users on how to run the game? I've downloaded it, but it doesn't run because I receive a notification that says I need another application to run it.
A Very cute and fun take on helltaker, i never did actually play the first one, but i think i definitely will because of this game, only a little over an hour long, nothing feels to rushed, where you date 8 cute demon girls and one angel girl and go on dates with them to get to know them, it's only a demo, but still a heartwarming VN where all the girls have personalities and act sorting way, i look forward to seeing this become a full fledged game
THIS WAS AWESOME ! I loved it as much(Or even a bit more) as the first game, simply fantastic 10/10 my heart was taken, especially with Modeus, Malina and Justice as they are my favorites. Thank you for this game guys ! I made a full playthrough of it on my channel, please check it out ! I would really appreciate that, and also please consider subscribe cause that would help me so much !!!! Again thanks for the game, i loved it !
you guys ever plan to put this game on steam and such? it'd be easier to download from there. I've been trying to download it for an hour and i even put it through winrar and it didn't work
Can we get some other civillians involved. I would personally love to see a random gym worker's reaction to seeing Justice doing her thing despite being blind, also minor critique with all the clues, it's kinda obvious that the mugger is gonna be beelzebub. I would recommend being a little subtler with the foreshadowing. But still a great game 10/10 so far would recommend...
edit: typed this in the dark with being shit at touch typing, apologies for any spelling mistakes. Additionally I added this to my collection and followed y'all for doing such a banger job on this game.
It is a .rar you have to download "winrar" to unzip it. I guess the game will be in that folder, soon I will have some money to support the creators of this magnificent fan game.
This is absolutely PERFECT. I know is just a demo, but you´re doing a great job in this game. I love how Dana O´Hara did an excellent job in drawing the characters and well you too people in creating this game. I hope this fan game gets attention and hopefully gets a full game (Sorry for my bad english tho). Good luck in this project people!
Sounds great! Will probably wait until the game is done. Do you have a rough estimate on how long would it take for the player to complete the storylines when that happens?
I'm currently using High Sierra. Although I have made some progress, I tried to convert "nwjs" into an executable but now the game will open then immediately closed
At the moment, no, the original creator of the work we are based on did not like the fact that we used edited versions of his original sprites. We are currently in the process of remaking everything from scratch.
We are trying to get that process figured out now. He has approved a fangame in the past and they have a Patreon active, so I believe we'll be ok. We will still actively seek out his permission though.
Whenever I click on the .rar it just gives an error message. I'm bad with computery things, so is this a bug, or am I just really dumb and don't know how to open it properly?
I played this whole game(demo) and I think its really cool. Seriously, like You did a really good job and I hope You could make it to the end beacouse it would be a shame to waste the project with such potential.
Really cool stuff, it's always great to be able to interact with hell's best girls, especially in a dating sim.
One thing that could be added would be binary choices, kinda like in the original. Doesn't need to be very impactful decisions, just a few snippets of different dialogue to keep things interesting.
Choosing where to take them on dates could be good, but I do realize all the variables that would create would be difficult to handle (although you could start the date by having them commentate on their surrounding, and after that talk about stuff related to how far the relationship has progressed, keeping the two subjects separate).
And maybe in a perfect world get Van-"The Man"-Ripper to stick his seal of approvement on this beauty of a game !
Didn't encounter any bugs, maybe framerate was a bit slow on the character selection screen, but in fairness my PC isn't exactly a beast.
Thanks for the review my guy. I will definitely consider putting in choices in the future. I do think that player interaction in regards to dialogue choice is a key element of visual novels, so that will definitely be a feature later on down the line.

How do you run this
Extract the files with WinRAR and then open the EXE to play
The game wont download, please help.
Is there a walkthrough for Mac users on how to run the game? I've downloaded it, but it doesn't run because I receive a notification that says I need another application to run it.
Figured it out! Download the itch.io app and run the VN through the app.

H o w t h e h e l l d o y o u o p e n i t !!?

When they finished developing the game, could they add subtitles in Portuguese?
If only it was on android, then I could play...

I've extracted it. How do I open it?

I can't open it, I download it but when I try to open it with winrar it won't let me
Hmmm. I don't know about that one

I Second This motion...
We would need to talk with Van about that. He has publicly told us no to big places like Steam before, so we'll see.
I can look into it
I keep getting sent back to (view downloads - internet explorer) I got past this before but I don't remember how. any help would be appreciated
That's interesting, I legitimately have never heard that one before.
I just needed to extract the files I found that WinRAR was easier to use. also you guys did a amazing job on all of the art
I would realy like to Play the Game but it only shows me this
! Cannot execute "C:\Users\m\AppData\Local\Temp\Rar$EXa9600.23560\The Second Circle v0.2\The Second Circle.exe"
how can i fix it. I'm not so good with Computer stuff.
I believe it should work if you run as administrator or not save the game file in a protected folder
Or do i need to use Windows 8?
Make sure you have opened and extracted it with WinRar. Then launch the Exe
i love it
Thanks :)
just click the text, it'll pop up the next text box
I try to get a beelzebub gallery come on
Will this be on android one day?
Maybe?
Hopefully, I'd pay good money for it and I'm pretty damn stingy
It's possible, but we would need Van's blessing since he has publicly told us to stay away from Google Play and the App Store before.

Definitely. More civilian interactions are planned as we move forward, also, I wouldn't be so sure about that assumption.
thanks... HOO-BOY we gonna get a curve ball
How do I open it?

Yeah I've already extracted it. But what to I do to play it? I opened "The Second Circle", but all that comes up is NEW.JS
great work ,keep it up!
Thanks :)

Sounds great! Will probably wait until the game is done. Do you have a rough estimate on how long would it take for the player to complete the storylines when that happens?
I'm not sure. We are shooting for at least a few hours of content in the main game, but that is still a long ways away.
Is there a Korean translation?
Unfortunately not.
czy ta gra będzie dostępna na steam ? . jeśli tak to czy będzie obsługiwany polski język ?
Gra nie wyjdzie na Steam. VanRipperowi się to nie spodoba.
I was able to download the mac .rar file but when I try to open the game my finder says
The application “Helltaker_VN” can’t be opened.
Any fix?
If you're running Catalina, it's very hard to get the game up and running on it. I can't really fix it unfortunately.
I'm currently using High Sierra. Although I have made some progress, I tried to convert "nwjs" into an executable but now the game will open then immediately closed
Really glad to see you're making another Helltaker game. Looking forward to what you've got planned!
is it just a visual novel or does it contain some gomeplay like the previous one did?
Purely a visual novel
understandable
will the game available for android in the future?
It's possible, but very unlikely.
A couple of questions:
1. Where can I follow you guys?
2. Will the game stay SFW?
1: You can follow us on our Discord and Subreddit. Links here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/HellTakerSecondCircle/
https://discord.gg/HmCPJhcpwJ
2: There will be NSFW content in the final game, but you can choose to toggle it off if you so desire. These demos will not have any NSFW content.
Genuinely excited for this game, bouta romance the two baes, Judgement and Beelzebub!
Where is the download button? Can we download the game?
At the moment, no, the original creator of the work we are based on did not like the fact that we used edited versions of his original sprites. We are currently in the process of remaking everything from scratch.
Did you guys get permission for this? I mean it's being kickstarted and money is changing hands as well as using someone else's characters.
We are trying to get that process figured out now. He has approved a fangame in the past and they have a Patreon active, so I believe we'll be ok. We will still actively seek out his permission though.
Is Beelzebub in the game?
She is absent in the select screen.
She is. You may have to poke around in the game a bit to find her though.
Found her, still don't know if I can have a date with her but I'll try it anyways
Whenever I click on the .rar it just gives an error message. I'm bad with computery things, so is this a bug, or am I just really dumb and don't know how to open it properly?
You have to extract the rar file. Use a program like winrar or 7zip to do that for you.
Thanks!
soooooooooo
I played this whole game(demo) and I think its really cool. Seriously, like You did a really good job and I hope You could make it to the end beacouse it would be a shame to waste the project with such potential.
I wish you the best with this little game.
Thank you. :
Just finished playing it and I must say, I was pleasantly surprised !
The writing is very good and got a few laughs out of me. It's really fun to see more of these characters, especially when well written like this.
Overall it's pretty good for a demo, even if it's a little bit rough on the edges ;)
I'll be eagerly waiting for more stuff from the team :D
Good job guys !
Hiya! I just made a Let's Play highlight of Pandemonica's section. Really good stuff. I'll do more episodes of this!
Really cool stuff, it's always great to be able to interact with hell's best girls, especially in a dating sim.
