New Update: Beta 0.14.3 Z Choice
Hey everyone!
There's a new update to the latest ZR build that implements an important feature that I have been contemplating adding.
Some of the story elements in ZR aren't all rainbows & sunshine. There's an important part of the story in this update that I had a feeling would be a little controversial. So I decided to implement a mechanic called Z-Choice. It's an important decision that will alter aspects of the story.
Edit: I completely forgot to mention WHERE the Z-Choice was added. It's in the early part of the Epilogue. If you have played this update already, you may know which important 'event' it's about.
I plan to use Z-Choice one other time in ZR and may bring this mechanic over into ZR2 as well!
To any players who were upset at various parts of the story, hopefully this helps give you an option that resonates a little better. I want to stress that this was a mechanic I had been thinking of adding for a little while. This was not done to appease rude comments so leaving de-constructive feedback will NOT result in getting your own wishes granted in my games. I want to make myself clear.
Thank you all for your support! I will see you soon with Beta 0.15 updates!

First off, the world you're building is naturally going to be in chaos so situations that upset people will naturally happen. Second, I did not know there were plans for ZR2, so yay! Glad I became a patron to find this out. Third, I hope that Z-Choice isn't used too often. This might lead to an extensive decision tree that completionists will need to backtrack to. This is both good and bad, but hopefully it won't be like Mass Effect which locks away content due to decisions way early on, like saving Kaiden or not. Either way, what you choose is good. I love the game

Dowload link directing 0.14.4 is the link broken ? pc version
I really appreciate that you add the z-choice option because I am not feeling comfortable with that particular scene.
Well done again 👏
Just found a bug with the Z-Choice, after you choose the Only one person, then getting the data, returning back to her and do the deed then she disappears right after it and there is still a glow at the window. Just wanted to share it because I know it will be fixed in the next update. Great update Siren! Even though I'm not a Patron, thank you for making these games free for everyone.
This should be fixed now in 0.14.4. Thank you for reporting that!
Just out of curiosity, if you have beaten the story and done the post game content (I think I found it all), is a new game my only option to experience the Z Choices?
Unfortunately. Sorry for the late addition to this feature. I was on the fence about it for a while but fortunately it is a fairly minor change. You won't be missing out on anything crazy.
The android versionthere is no save file folder -_- so every download the latest version must be restarted from the beginning
If you download the new update with the previous version installed, the save file is usually carried over automatically on android
Are you planning to release an Android version? RPG MAKER allows you to do this (far as I know).
The Android version is already available!
What is Z Choice?
Basically, with certain points in the story- you can choose between two options. The plot will slightly adjust so either option 'makes sense'. This is mostly for players who may not want to see a particular action and would rather the story slightly shift to avoid that. It'll make more sense when players try it out but currently there's on during the epilogue
Those choices influence what in the game? If someone die? If someone that mc loves is abused by monsters? Or just morals choices?
The only choice so far is with professor Ann right? (and THANK GOD FOR THAT OPTION)
Well this post has me intrigued. Now I gotta check it out
Agreed.
