Having an issue where I select the language and it restarts the opening animation, then I go to click on anything and it reload the animation and the language selection. Then keeps looping. Anyone have any issues like this?
All the versions have the translation files in them, so all should be good. There's no extra versions or anything, you can just select the language when you boot the game.
Veo mucho potencial. Lo que más me llamó la atención fue la variedad de bandas sonoras (Persona, Expedition 33, Avenged Sevenfold, Mob Psycho 100, etc.). Tienes muy buen gusto musical.
También se nota la inspiración en Cyberpunk 2077 y Pacific Rim.
En general vas bien, aunque siento que el guion todavía puede mejorar. Los cambios de escenario son algo bruscos y a veces me costó seguir el ritmo. Es solo mi opinión, pero creo que el proyecto tiene mucho potencial.
Just to add to what he said, the shower scene is animated in the preview here on the itch.io slideshow but not in the game itself. Unless I'm messing it up
It's not that I didn't like it or that it's a bad game, but it feels a bit slow. I feel like there are too many introspective thoughts from the MC and not enough dialogue between MC and IL. You have to be aware that, being version 0.4, you have to be patient; it's not the same as playing a complete season 1 as something that's still in development.
TL;DR: Should you play this at some point? Yes! Should you play this now? Maybe wait until 0.5 drops, 0.4 ending right before the gala felt a bit like being blue-balled by the game haha
What can I saw about this game? It is clearly inspired by Cyberpunk 2077, so if you liked V's struggle there, you'll like what MC has to go through here. Very promising game with lots of potential for sure: cute girls/cast, interesting world and story. Good on naming the character that relies on miracles "David".
The first monologue MC has, of his father telling him he can run or fight, and that he should not hesitate if he chooses to fight, resonates masterfully with what MC soon does to those who cut any chances of him running off, very strong start for sure.
I did feel that, for the first girl, we got very little content of Strea, in my playthrough she almost felt like a background character once in Rome, almost every other girl overshadowed her in terms of presence - I did turn down hanging out with her though.
As for things I'm wanting to see, I hope at some point - it's fine if it's at the mid point or even at the game's climax! - we get a choice to remove/sacrifice one of the "guests" (or ask them to go dormant) while keeping the other (active), rather than having to choose what to do with them as a pair. Not having all content of the purple/green pair involve the two of them would be interesting too, dates/scene with just one would be cool, as would maybe a choice to "break them up" (again, it's fine even if it's an ending) or, once more, sacrifice one to keep the other. Finally, I like the corpo enforcer/hired-gun girl! Would love more content for her and for her ending(s) to get proper care.
Now, as for the concerns, my main concern (and the reason I dropped the game at first) is the use of AI images - they are AI images, right? Those black-and-white sketches used sparingly throughout? You should be open about this and disclose the use, both on your game page description, and as a disclaimer at the start of the game (just like other games have disclaimers like "this game features heavy violence/sensitive topics like bullying, suicide, depression", games should also have a disclaimer that goes "this game features the use of generative AI for X, Y, Z".) The morality of using AI aside, and if you are willing to experience something that includes it, is up to each person. But we players should be able to make an informed choice, on if to even download or not.
Personally, the first time I played I felt the opening - whose first version I loved, I'm less of a fan of the current one - was a well achieved use of AI images that I could give a pass, it was the subsequent uses I wish were not present. After playing up to update completion, you do get used to them at some point, and they do give the game a certain idiosyncrasy in your mind.
There is one unforgivable exception, though. There is no excuse for the grave of the brother MC takes down to not be a render. Piling a pile of rocks on a cliff is something easily achievable, and you should work to be able to render an image that carries the emotional weight you want it to have. Past that, you should reach a point where you can also render the "angels" in Rome, and such "custom-models", yourself too. AI is a handicap and you shouldn't rely on it for things that are easily achievable or complex or you will stunt your growth as a developer/artist.
Best of lucks with development, do keep growing both your game and your skills, what is there does have potential and is worthwhile, even if it still could use some polish here and there.
EDIT: Twice having very cute girls/groups of girls - the nun/nuns and the horse girls - but giving players an option to have a scene with the head mistress instead was diabolical.
You can go for a single LI if you want. Everything is entirely optional, you can even go the whole game without ever doing anything NSFW towards a woman at all. That will trigger the Gay Ending, where you reveal you were gay the whole time.
Soon! Recently paired up with some Chinese translators, and will be adding their translation to a language select screen. Just finishing up some edits to the script until then.
Yes, it's easy to "fix". You'll have to use one of the download links that are provided on the game's page. It has been uploaded to MEGA and Gofile, not itch itself.
Sorry, literally currently in the process of uploading everything onto itchio itself, you just got really unlucky and tried to download at the exact time when it was processing the files. I believe it's good now, at least it worked when I tested it, I'm gonna get some other people to test and make sure.
Hi there are 3 vertical dots in the top right corner of the itch game page click on them you will get a drop down click open in exsternal browser you will get game page were all download links work enjoy
Just started playing the latest patch, and there is a phone segment. Any reason why the name is different when you write there compared to when the character is talking in person?
can't wait (the dialogue needs work but still can't wait)
Also with the Cold/Kind, Horny/Controlled and Hardware/Software can you give a indication like the same icon for the First 2 just different colours and different ones for Hardware & Software
Like this
Software icon
Hardware icon
this can be blue or pink (Blue being Controlled and pink Being Horny)this can be blue or red (Blue being Cool and red Being Kind)
The story is unique and interesting, though a lot of scenes lack clarity and some actions of the MC or side characters are occasionaly strange or not well-reasoned, especially in regards to lewd interactions.
Speaking of lewd interactions, I haven't seen too much of those in my playthrough (but that's okay, it's still quite early) and when they did come up it was quite often out of the blue. All animations I've seen were of non-lewd nature and they were more on the meme-y side in terms of context and quality.
Visually, the characters are good but the renders only have basic lighting; they're what you'd expect from a beginner. There are a few story images with a drawn look and those are pretty good. The UI is slightly customized, but could be better as well.
Audio is okay, sound effects are rare though and there was one instance where I found the choice of music strange.
Overall, Leviathan does have interesting ideas and executes them decently enough, but there's no aspect of it that I would call high quality in its current state. It's quite okay.
those ai generated, concept art like, sketches distract the shit out of me, every time one comes up I need to scan it over for where things don't make sense cause that's just what I do when I see something that feels ai and even tho after the first one I was 99% sure and 100% sure at this point I still feel the need to find the errors, like I'm fine tuning my ai detector skills or something dumb like that.
literally the only thing I could complain about so far tho this is some good shit
Yeah, a big part of it was simply that I'm fairly decent with AI images, and whilst I cannot do illustrations of any kind to save my life, I am good at photo and video exiting. Thus, most of those images have me going through and eliminating a bunch of the flaws. Thank you for the good review, it's really appreciated. I do 100% plan on removing all AI images eventually, really the only reason I haven't thus far is simply having difficulty locating someone within the AVN community who is open to the commissions and has the right art style. I will get them eventually!
Hmmm can't say till I play but i only saw a catgirl this affront to dog girl supremacy will not stand.Hopefully you at least have a fox girl or something hidden away in here somewhere otherwise Crusade lol.
Any chance you'll add a download option that's compatible with the Itch launcher? It'd make keeping the game updated a lot easier since it'd let games auto-update.
If the files are too big to upload to Itch directly, you can message them and ask for a bigger file limit, I think. I know for certain there have been games several gigs large that I've played through the launcher so it's definitely possible
I post to other places that require mirror links, so I haven't considered it. Considering I still post to those other places as well, I can't imagine it would save much time. I just upload everything to the mirrors and swap the links on the itch page, so it's not too bad to update things.
It would make keeping the game updated as players about a thousand times easier, since the launcher can check for updates and auto-update, rather than having to manually check back
The story seems very interesting, but I do have one or two major complaints: the story isn't explained properly most of the time. A lot of lore and worldbuilding is missing, for example at the very beginning after meeting Strea, those several days spent with her are shown only in a few frames which isn't in itself a problem but here it skips a lot of potential relationship development. They go from strangers to friends in what from our POV, is an instant. And there are a LOT of these skips. During the MC's recovery he talks about a lot of things happening, yet we don't see any of them. There are also hints to a lot of stuff which to the characters are basic knowledge but to us readers, it isn't. This overall makes the story a bit confusing, and hard to grasp. The characters in general are also not explained well enough. Like the two girls near the end just appear out of nowhere, find the MC creepy and then he chases them for no apparent reason whatsoever. Also Strea's ability to change her boob size is not explained at all, the MC takes it as something that happens every day. (it might be normal in their world, but then let it be explained in a thought of the MC or something similar, or a lore book where we can read some details about the world that are not explained well in the dialogue itself.)
But if these problems are fixed, I think this story has a lot of potential, and I'll definitely be watching out for this game and waiting for future updates.
can we have more download options? can't access the download page in my country beacause it says pedo contents on the site, please i'm quite interested in the game :(
Update tomorrow, I will upload mirrors to everything on 3 different hosts, and I'll have about 5-6 different locations where they shall be posted. For right now, if you go to the discord and check the #links channel, the website that has the very top link will send you to a forum with about 5 different hosts, so one of them should be unblocked in your country.
Hey Dev, this game of your looks good. So I thought why not give it a go..... Bt the moment I start playing, I found something that I thought would be great if you could fix it..... Your game doesn't have 'text box transparency' and 'dialogue size optimization'.... Pls add this in the game settings for future updates.
Already working on it, this current update dropping in 4 days is going to have minimal UI changes, since it's primarily intended to just be 100% content update with as much focus on that as possible. BUT, I have already arranged for Pax, the UI designer of Eternum, Cosy Cafe, ect. to come in and do my full UI, which will be done for update 0.4v.
I really like the painting style at the beginning of the game and the subsequent sketch-style images, which give off a Disco Elysium vibe. I'm curious whether they were created by the author or generated by AI
All illustrations are stuff that I AI-generated, then went kinda crazy for about a week messing with them in GIMP to make them look prettier. I do intend on swapping them out with proper artist commissions, it's merely a matter of finding a suitable artist and having the funds. The Leviathan Commission Wallet is gonna be in the red for a while since I dropped a lot on the UI, which will be showing up in 0.04v.
There should be a little button by the text box, I suspect it's probably really hard to see on a small screen like a phone, I am afraid it's a temporary toggle for the nav bar at the bottom. We are working on better GUI currently.

Having an issue where I select the language and it restarts the opening animation, then I go to click on anything and it reload the animation and the language selection. Then keeps looping. Anyone have any issues like this?
I will review the code for it. I did write that while I was huffing glue and drunk so it deserves a bit of review
Happens :D How do I get past it?
Should go away with a restart and making sure to select one of the options. I will make sure to push a patch for that with the new version soon.
no esta en español que lastima, me perderé un juegaso, porque me da hueva leer ingles
Haven't Android been translated into Chinese yet?
All the versions have the translation files in them, so all should be good. There's no extra versions or anything, you can just select the language when you boot the game.

I think your site is broken. Doesn't display properly whether in mobile or desktop view.
Oughhhhh I didn't check it on Android when I coded it... I'll fix it!
Is there sound in relationships?
No, if I ever do add sex noises or VA for anything, it'll mention at the start of the game and ask if you want to toggle it off.
Thanks.
Are animations subscriber only or am I just experiencing an issue?
I'd never do subscriber-only stuff like that, I'm probably just stupid and probably misassigned a few videos in the script or something.
Word, mistakes happen
Just to add to what he said, the shower scene is animated in the preview here on the itch.io slideshow but not in the game itself. Unless I'm messing it up
I accidentally messed up the code when putting the video in. I'll fix it soon.

Is the design a harem mandatory for the narrative, or can the player go for a single IL?
You can go for a single LI if you want. Everything is entirely optional, you can even go the whole game without ever doing anything NSFW towards a woman at all. That will trigger the Gay Ending, where you reveal you were gay the whole time.
Thanks for replying, great then I'll try it.
Walkthrough?
Va atener idioma Español latino?
does the game have chinese?
Soon! Recently paired up with some Chinese translators, and will be adding their translation to a language select screen. Just finishing up some edits to the script until then.
Hey, i want to download the game, but each time i try it, i get an error message;This title is hosted on an incompatible third-party websit
Anyone knows how i can fix this?
Yes, it's easy to "fix". You'll have to use one of the download links that are provided on the game's page. It has been uploaded to MEGA and Gofile, not itch itself.

It is fixed and I downloaded it.
Thank you so much!! <3

Massive upgrade in the latest version, fantastic job!
Just started playing the latest patch, and there is a phone segment. Any reason why the name is different when you write there compared to when the character is talking in person?
Because I'm stupid and coded it weird ; _ ;
no worries hahaha. We all be stupid at times ^^
Just a heads up. The gofile link does NOT got to a download for this game. It goes not non-stop commercials no matter where you click 😒.
I'll fix that
can't wait (the dialogue needs work but still can't wait)
Also with the Cold/Kind, Horny/Controlled and Hardware/Software can you give a indication like the same icon for the First 2 just different colours and different ones for Hardware & Software
Like this
Played, very peak, cant wait to see more
I just found this and played it for the first time.
I found the game to be very interesting.... and I'm looking forward to where the story goes.
Escpecially now that we've met this purple girl. :-D
Keep up the good work!

make it a 6.5 the dialogue needs work
lets goo

4 spam link posters in like 2 days, this is crazy
yeah... it is obnoxious and they are everywhere ;_;
Привет игра очень хорошая очень жду продолжения

10/10 game. Really well-written characters, no bs drama, and the animation is genuinely high budget movie-tier.
^Didn't pay bro to say this btw
ur payment is late for me (jk hi mr.ovis)

Make sure you don't click on any links. I've had to delete 2 bots thus far.

Not seeing any save/load , skip, auto functions on the android version
There should be a little button by the text box, I suspect it's probably really hard to see on a small screen like a phone, I am afraid it's a temporary toggle for the nav bar at the bottom. We are working on better GUI currently.
