[ENG] Kemo Coliseum v.0.9.6.5 Release
**Link removed for balancing issue. Please see the link to the announcement post above**
Before You Download
Currently, there's a problem with the launcher that it will download both Windows and OSX version, making updating the game takes longer than it necessary. Because of this, I've separated the download into the following:
OSX/Windows Standalone: If you just want the game and not the launchers, this is what you need. Please choose the one for your operating system.
All: This includes everything, Windows and OSX executables and launchers for both Windows and OSX.
Launchers: This will download only the launchers. You can use the launcher to download the latest version of the game automatically.
I will be working on improving the launchers so that each launcher will only care about builds & updates for its platform. For now, I apologize for the inconvenience!
Changes from Previous Version
Many things in the game have changed. If you have played the previous version before, we recommend starting the game from the beginning again to familiarize yourself with the new parameters & damage formula
You can now adjust the game's difficulty from the option menu. This only affects the enemy's AI
IMPORTANT NOTES
If you have the launchers from the public version IT WILL NOT DOWNLOAD THIS VERSION. The public launcher will only download builds available for public. Launchers here will download the ones for Patreons only.
Save file from previous versions DO NOT WORK in this version. I'l try to make the save games compatible with future versions from now on.
If you want to skip the beginning, you can use the save file HERE. This file starts right before you fight Aoba.
We understand that the difficulty still needs balancing. If you find the game too difficult, please let us know the following:
- Your level
- Your armor's durability (for both inner and outer armor)
- Your equipments, skills and armor bonuses
- The enemy you find too difficult even in casual difficulty
This will help us in finding out how to balance the game further.
How to Use the Save File
1. If there is no folder named "savedata" next to the executeable file, create one.
2. Put "save_1.kemosave" file in that folder
3. Start the game. You should be able to load that save file.
**NOTES ON USING SAVE FILE**
Due to the current way we save game's persistent data, using this save file won't unlock CGs and any scenes before that save point. We will fix this in the future versions and provide another game persistent data save file.
- This build ends after you beat Cyrus and see the following chapter conclusion scene. The game will bring you to the title screen again.
- The game's scripts have been changes and revised, mainly in English. Starting the game in Japanese can cause unexpected behaviors to show up.
Bug Report
If there's any bug, please check this site before reporting. Thanks!

Thank you for being patience with us and support us. Again, I apologize in advance for any grammatical error or Engrish you may find and might turn you off in this build. We'll go through them and revise them in future updates.
Reading through chapter 1 scripts, I could see many parts I want to improve XD But I guess that means my writing is improving? Or I hope I am. I really enjoy writing many scenes though, especially the erotic ones (-///-)
I hope you'll enjoy playing this build!

How do I download a file and file? Let me tell you, I don't know if it's okay. Play the game. No way.
WHERE IS THE DOWNLOAD BUTTON
The bull fight was difficult for me on casual but I had attempted it at level 11 and skipped nearly all the side quests beforehand. When I went to do some side quests and got proper skills the fight was much easier. If the goal of the lower difficulty is to make it nearly effortless to proceed through the game than lowering their health/damage significantly would be good change. Since it right now it does take some thought to clear the game fast if you aren't keeping up with the levels of your enemies.
what skills did you use to beat that fucker cause i need help
update: after the 37th try I managed to win against him with aoba not even be able to activating rage or any of his higher skills... so yeah... its pretty much about luck . maybe you could do something about it in the future
If it helps I can create a showcase playvideo about it but as of right now, its sp unbalanced that its impossible to progress further
Yes, this would really help, if it isn't too much trouble on your side. I know it's frustrating but thank you for keep trying and giving me honest feedback. - Punipen
I'm genuinely amazed at the number of people complaining that it is too difficult, I genuinely didn't have a problem with it. I beat both Motir and Cyrus on my first time at level 13. I'm not even particuarly good. What's the point of a game if it's just going to be easy?
Oh, there's a pretty bad bug where many mini bosses (whip user, giant fungis monster etc) crash the game if you select "retry" instead of "back to map. It seems to be all of them. Does anyone else have this problem?
PLEASE re-release this build with a balanced boss fights especially aoba... its fucking annoying that I was trying 25 times and I STILL wasn't able to win .I always loose either when he activates rage or when activating kamaitichi or whatever is the skills's name. also having a 2x 3x armor THEN having again about the same about of health ios fucking rridicilous when each of his attacks does about 100 damage...(if im lucky enough to have guard gems then somewhat les but still over 60 damage. per attack... VERY VERY ANNOYING and unbalanced...
GUYS CALM DOWN!! is a Beta Game, punipen should make a poll to know how hard the game is for the people ( furry erotic fans). if you cant beat a boss go back and beat easy enemies and get a higher level to try to beat the boss again. I really like games like that. In my opinion all this can be fixed making the game more friendly with modes easy normal and higher and make certain scenes exclusive for hard mode to make us feel the success for all the effort.
In larger dungeon, the next area box and the previous area box has the same icon making it abit confusing. Especially when your going back to farm. Would really be great if there is a return to home button for deeper dungeon.. for convenience.
This is my concern as well, and I'm going to change that in the next update. The return to home button is a really nice idea. Definitely going to add that. Thank you! - Punipen
Should note that previous launcher does not download this new one.
You're right. Edited and added the info. Thank you! - Punipen
the difficulty for the cow is insane. even in casual it is IMPOSSIBLE to beat him, I lvl'd my Volga to lvl 15 as well yet still can't beat him after 5 hours of attempts. this game is really getting underwhelming. I understand you are trying to make this game not just about sex and adult contents, but even the average puzzle game on the market would not have such high difficulty without proper settings to balance it out (such as gears, talents, skills...etc) The number of times and the drop rate of matched stones for the enemy is definitely way too high, I think and look carefully each time I make a decision of which stone to move, I make sure I can get the maximum combos out of one move, yet, the goddamn fucking RNG is for sure tilted AGAINST the player, that I am certain of, there is no way that the cow can magically have 3 stones connected in a row and I still stuck with 0 for 5 HOURS. It is just impossible. Perhaps this is the number you should look in to. Even with your advice of bring the dmg reduce skills, it is still impossible to beat him.
I don't want to sound negative but I can't stop myself from expressing some honest thoughts. For me personally the game is way too difficult. It's practicaly impossible to beat Aoba even on the lowest difficulty settings and I spent a really long time trying to beat the whip boss. I don't know how this is fair that Aoba has around 3x350 HP and I can have something like 3x150. It's too frustrating for me to continue the game, so I'm just going to stop. Sorry. Also, I think the Volga punishment could have been extended, it was a bit too short and underwhelming. I know that you probably thought that leaving the rest for the imagination was a good idea, but it didn't work for me personally. Maybe it did for others though, I don't know. I think Volga deserves some humiliation and the fact that he's the main, playable character shouldn't be an excuse :) Other than that, I think the game looks great and I hope you don't mind my honesty.
Thank you for the honest feedback! We're still adjusting what should be the right number and we're still experimenting with difficulty selection. I'll take this comment and improve the game so that you can adjust the game to make your experience better :) As for Volga's Punishment scene, I have a feeling that many people misunderstand that this is a Punishment in a sense that it'll be the same as other coliseum boss punishment. It isn't and never intend to be. It's a short game over sequence. Volga will have another set of CGs and a longer punishment scene when he appears as a coliseum boss when you play as Cyrus or Tharsix. Hence, Cyrus and Tharsix's game over scenes will be as short as this one too. - Punipen
Did you play second each time? It often happen in the game, if you play second, the enemy will deplete all your possible combos in one combo and you get nothing each time, it's your turn. Best way should be to play extra defensive until the board reset, but yes it is annoying.
there's no way in HELL, that i am this unlucky, when boss make ONE combo, endless combo just happen to ONLY drop for the enemy, but when I do it, nothing come out, there is just no way.
I think someone else mentioned getting a black screen at the Moaning Cave? I was fighting the whip guy and lost so I clicked retry and I guess it froze. Unfortunate since I didn't save at all during the quest so back to square one, literally. xD .-.
Thank you for more details on that bug. I'll look into it to see what went wrong with retry. - Punipen
i cant play it. "There should be 'KemocoloLauncher_Data' folder next to the executable"
There should be. If there isn't, the downloaded file might be corrupted or you aren't extracting the archive correctly. - Punipen
I will start at the beginning again nice to see aoba again hope in the future he'll be playable character. ^ ^
Do you have an estimate on the release of the japanese version? I noticed in the japanese post you said the english one would be coming out first just wondering what the gap might be until then.
We don't have an estimated date for that yet. I'll make another post about it once it's decided. - Punipen
In the first play of the episode. It should be taught how to choose and how to use the power in these channels rather than explain before going into actual use. (Do not know, will you understand? I use language translation program)
If you're talking about a better tutorial, this is already noted. We have a plan to improve tutorials but it's low priority right now. - Punipen
Is volga the only playable char?
Other characters will be available next year. - Punipen
why you guys made that wip boss so hard what the fuck how am i suppose to beat him that was stupid to making him stronger -_-
I understand that you're frustrated but please be civil about this and more careful about your language. I will not tolerate this kind of behaviour in the future. Please also understand that we only have so much time to balance 30 enemies of various levels in the game. We still need to do a lot of balancing (skills/items/bonuses and enemies), so this is not meant to be final. - Punipen
Damn good update ! i just wish i didn't get stuck at the fortune teller quest XD
Thank you! And really sorry about that bug :'( You can find more info about this bug here: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/eng-major-bug-in-13836327">https://www.patreon.com/posts/eng-major-bug-in-13836327</a> - Punipen
I feel like I'm stuck. I got through chapter one and I'm stuck on the fortune teller quest. But I think I've clicked on literally everything/every option. Does the build end there or is there something I'm missing?
No, you can play all the way to the coliseum boss of the 2nd chapter. Could you please tell me what you have seen and where you have been after you accepted the quest? This quest requires going to various places and visit one panel in an already unlocked dungeon to complete. - Punipen
Don't know if this question has been asked but are some text suppose to still be in Japanese even on the english version? For example the descriptions for some of the abilities like Bash.
Yeah, I thought I went through all the skills to make the default description in English, but I think I still miss some of them. Next patch should fix this issue. - Punipen
Thank you so much.
Great, thanks for your hard work Punipen!
Thank you! :) Really happy to finally release this chapter out. - Punipen
I know this is off topic but do you know when the gallery links will be sent out? Thank you.
Due to the release and support after the release today, the link will be delayed a bit. Please expect to get the link in 1 - 2 days. - Punipen
is there anyway to just skip the whole chapter 1? most patreons here have done that chapter already. not to mention that black screen bug at the Moaning Cave, keep deleting my progress "/
You can find a save file that let you start right before fighting Aoba in the post. I'm not sure about blackscreen bug at the Moaning Cave. Is it after you retry the fight? - Punipen
I love you Punipen!!! I am wondering how to save? It says select a save to view info only
Thank you! ♥ Clicking on an empty slot on the left should show a save button on the right window. If this doesn't work, this could be the macOS permission bug I've been hearing about D: - Punipen
I am not able to download any one of the version, keeps pop up 503 error
Just edited the post with mirror links to Mediafire. Please try that one instead. - Punipen
Forgive my possibly stupid question if it has already been addressed, but I am confused about how to report bugs and such. I clicked the link given here to see what it was. Is that how we report it or is there another preferred method?
You have to create an account at github before reporting a bug directly. If you don't have one and don't want to create a new account, you can just report here for now and I'll add it in there myself. I have a plan to make bug reporting system better. Now that chapter 2 is more or less done, I might have time to work on it. - Punipen
I'm loving this game so far! It's a lot more fun than other VN games I've been going through! If ever need help lightening the load with editorials or such, do let me know! Experienced!
Thank you! I'm glad you like it. ^^ - Punipen
Updated the post with info on how to use the save file. Also, don't forget that you can set the game's difficulty now. If you find it too hard or too easy, please try changing the difficulty! - Punipen
I'm suspecting that the problem is from too many access at once. It seems to be back on now, so I'll put the link back. We probably need a better place to host our files. - Punipen
why not just use media fire and done
Thanks for the new update :D
Seems like there's a problem with the site right now :( I'll take the download link down for now and put it back on later after this is resolved. :( - Punipen
Alright, strange because i sucessfully downloaded the build with enough tries, just not the save file lol.
The version 0.9.6.5 download link periodically giving me a 503 (service temporarily unavailable) error, presumably because the hosting server is getting a lot of traffic at the moment. More notably, the version 0.9.5.1 launcher doesn't update to 0.9.6.5 after clicking the "Check Update" button from within the launcher; the launcher instead acts like it successfully completed an update within a handful of seconds, but without any apparent update to the data files.
I forgot to clarify this, but I separate between public launcher and patreon launcher, so that patrons will get the latest version before the public. - Punipen
something is wrong with the download, no matter which version I download, I am still unable to open the files / extract them. Apparently the files are corrupted in either the "All Files Version" (the one with launcher and OSX and Window) and the "Single Version" (the window / OSX alone version)
Have you checked the size of the files you downloaded? It's possible that the connection is cut off while you were downloading, corrupting those files. - Punipen
Download started but couldn't finish, now won't work at all not sure if it's the site or an issue on my end though.
Seems to be the site issue. Please try again later! Sorry that this happened :( - Punipen
Yeah same here, download link isn't working.
nevermind it just worked now.
Download does not work. 503 Service Temporarily unavailable
