I just want to post a solution for people who may be having a problem launching the game. I'm on Windows 7. If you're not on Windows 10, you may be having this problem.
Basically it will tell you that the game can't find api-ms-win-downlevel-kernel32-l2-1-0.dll. This is apparently a common issue for some games downloaded from Epic Games. I'm guessing it has to do with Unreal Engine.
The solution is simple. Look in /Windows/System32/CompatTel and copy api-ms-win-downlevel-kernel32-l2-1-0.dll (it should be there). Paste the .dll in MonolithBay\Binaries\Win64
After that, the game launched for me. Looking forward to trying it out.
I'm having a problem with the new function where it transfers old data. Its doing a weird flash thing every other second, I've let it set for about 15 minutes and nothing's changed.
I let it set for another 2 hours and nothing changed
I'm downloading for free right now, but I'm totally going to buy it on steam when it's available. Also will I get access to the cheat codes if I buy on steam, or is that a patron only thing.
Hey, I'm experiencing a bug that is stopping me from playing. I get all the way to the college in the prologue but when I'm supposed to exit the chemistry class with Debbie and go to the locker room, I can't exit the class it's like there is a invisible wall or something.
I am kinda upset, I used to be on windows 10 and dx12 but I force myself to downgrade to windows 8 and have dx11... I accidentaly reformat my pc that took away all my important files just to play this game. I install all necessary files to play this game and all I've got is the ERROR which is
Monolith Bay has stopped working.
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
This happen when the screen is black.
Thanks for the game, for making my files deleted. I try hard enough to play this game. But maybe the sacrificing the files are not worth to play this game. I am upset, I'm fixing this pc to play this game since july, dev, you can read back and see our conversation. I am so upset, you dev said that the intel hg graphics 2500 8gb ram can play this game, but, turns out...I can't. This maybe a great game for you guys, Sadly, not for me. 😩 Kinda upset, I use getdataback to recover my files but less than 50% are the files recovered. Thanks to this game😩😞. Thanks for reading and replying. Keep up good work dev.
Sorry for your data loss ytan. But I never said your graphics card can run the game. I said the fact that your card supports DX11 is a good thing. I don't understand why Win8 though. Win10 can run DX11 games just fine. Did someone in a forum said it's a good idea?
The pizza delivery part is bugged for me, whenever I enter the glowing areas I get forced out of the car, cannot reenter or deliver pizzas. i get softlocked an am required to reset the day entirely. what should i do, or at the very least what else can i do for money to get the crow bar, to continue the story?
hello friend, there is an error when I try to download the game, when it is between 200mb and 600mb the download is canceled with the message "Failed - Forbidden" could you help me to solve this problem?
oh dear this game is so cool but need fix glitchs on class room there girl her head only shows up she deep in the floor also there is naked girl near the window she just standing there and i hope this game will be official soon it feel like Sims games :D i love it also please add some new advanture story not just for sexuality game
Hello im having a problem with it, Im using a android device, I downloaded it and installed but when I open it, it keeps closing the app. Do you know how to fix this? The processcor of my cellphone is Mediatek Helio G80.
I realise it's not a farming sim, but I would like a little garden in the back yard/park/Pamela's Cabin where MC can grow flowers/fruit which can be sold for extra $ or given to girls as a gift.
Just a suggestion, I don't know if it would fit with your story and mechanics
but there are no story quests left i finished them all and all side quests too nothing new pops up in the quest journal so im just kinda runnin around working on stats and money, last quest i did was collecting 10 crystals and then nothing happened after i did that.
hey so im sorry i cant remember if i ever asked but i want to know if there is heavy drama in this with anything like ntr or whatnot. like is the secret going too cause heavy drama or is the mc uncle in a conspiracy that causes problem for mc. sorry not lookin for spoiler but i want to know if i should avoid the game if it does have it
If you refer to the currency, it's the one we set originally. It changes for every country automatically. But I don't know what you mean since they don't use Euros in the UK.
So, I downloaded the latest version and whenever I launch it and go past the age warning the game just pauses, nothing moves and if it does then only for like a second and then I have to close it from the task manager. My PC specs are:
i3-5005U 4gb ram intel hd 5500 graphics
I was hoping if I could get to try this game out cuz the reviews seem promising and stuff, can I do anything about this? please.
I would like to play this on android but before I download it, is the gameplay as complete as the one in microsoft download? Android download says "character creator only". THanks
We don't have the story mode for Android. It's only the character creator and in the Patreon mobile version also the adult sandbox where you can play sex animations with characters you choose.
Hi Dev! I know how to solve the LOWLEVELFATALERROR
The windows must be DirectX 11 and the game only have a DirectX 11 Compatibility to play the game.
To fix the LowLevelFatalError, we need a DirectX 12 compatibility to the game.
Most of the players are Windows 10 and have a DirectX 12... We can't downgrade from DirectX 12 to DirectX 11... So.... To solve this issue, we need to have a DirectX 12 compatibility to the game. I hope Dev you have a DirectX 12 compatability to the Next Update.... I can't play this great game even though I want it to play it to badly!.. Keep up the Good Work Dev... and I'll be waiting for the Next Update!!!
We've found online that it could be due to overclocking of the GPU or some issue with it. Or it could be corrupted files after extracting not properly. Have you tried to extract the whole 7z archive with the 7zip tool instead of winrar? Creating an extra build with DX12 only would be risky and more work for us.
I open the game without error but its a bit laggy and I only load a the loading screen and its stop responding... I open the game using the
right click the game>properties>compatibility>run compatability troubleshooter>try reccomended settings>test program... after that...the game start and it's 10/100 that it will work and if it's work, the game will load and sometime crash and something pop up that says "unreal engine is exiting due to d3d device being lost" ...after that...I'll do the same thing just like "LowLevelFatalError" which alt+tab then open task manager then end task.
I googled your "intel hd graphics 2500" and we think a better graphics card would be the only solution. A dedicated one :) Also, yours doesn't support DX12, so adding support for it wont help.
first thing you need to know that this dialogue is pretty repetitive and makes it longer to read. second thing you need to know that it is now rubbing on me that i am using it. third thing you need to know that you should add a history tab for the dialogues cuz sometimes i skipped the dialog because it was too slow and pressed space.
Looks like your card supports DX11 which is a good thing. In the game folder go to MonolithBay\Engine\Extras\Redist\en-us\UE4PrereqSetup_x64.exe. Install the Prereq and try to play again.
i downloaded the game and extracted it with 7zip but it doesnt work i only get a black screen and after i while it crashes it only worked once but stopped at the loading screen
I have downloaded v0.10 but extracting always finishes with some error and I have tried re-downloading it but again it failed to extract. Any solution for this problem.
Ok so after messing around with things I found the older version from around a month ago and it changed to v.0.10 not sure if that has anything to do with me downloading the new one.
EDIT: I'M FUCKING STUPID AND DOWNLOADED THE WRONG ONE, DISREGARD THE CRITICISMS SAID HERE
{{{{Played v0.1.3}}}}
Pretty good! I was initially really weirded out by the models, they looked clunky and like they were put together with clay. Not as polished as they are in the thumbnail. But I got used to it. (In-game In-game they look fine. But when talking to eachother their sprites look weird)
The moment I was able to FREE ROAM was a big shock, not many porn games have that and it was a really cool surprise. It certainly kept the game genuinely interesting. (I expected this to be a visual novel)
The writing is a little hit or miss, but its not too bad.
AN INTERACTIVE PORN SCENE???? Its very rare you ever see these, and typically its just raising the tempo or whatever. But you can actually MOVE things during this one. And actually zoom in as well. (I just wish I could turn the camera, that's always been a bit of a peeve of mine)
Took me about three hours to finish the demo.
Really promising!
There's certainly a few bugs though (Not anything game breaking)
Sometimes you spawn in a sitting position and slide around like that until you open a door and it fixes itself
The house (city hall?) on top of the hill isn't on flat ground, you can see under the front right corner. Also on the way to the city hall-like building there's a random deep gap on the grass that I fell in, took me a bit to get back out. (Its in-between the two roads on the way up the hill)
There's also an odd leveling issue between the road and the grass, the road is like, a few inches higher and you have to jump onto it.
Camera spazzes when entering the bathroom and immediately trying to get back out
Sometimes floating to the side of the bike when equiping it
The orange haired girls boobs spazzing out for a moment when deep throating
Camera sometimes clipping under the map when riding on a hill
Trucks driving on air at the beginning of the tunnel. And I also saw some girl at the roof of the tunnel just floating there in a sitting position??
Sometimes you say "Bye" or "night" twice before ending the conversation
Minor skirt glitches, I don't know if the violent skirt flare is intentional, but afterwards the top part of the skirt like, clips in with their lower back and is stuck.
The ladder in the library is a bit finicky to select
"Peep through hole" option appearing when you angle it torwards the picture on the wall (After the event) I thought it was still an option, so I spent like 5 minutes trying to angle it right to get the button to appear, and when I did, pressing E did nothing.
Here's some things that just personally bothered me:
There's a bunch of models down at the beach that straight up just don't move, pretty creepy. At least give them breathing animations or something
(I know its only a demo) But there's not much room for exploration, any time you explore or try to talk to old characters again you get the same dialogue or absolutely nothing
I cant change my point of view. Being SO CLOSE to the character you play as strained my eyes, but I got used to it. I still would prefer to zoom out a bit.
No gallery? I know this is a demo, and I certainly eyed that sandbox mode, but right now the only way to access the one scene (and the peep hole scene) is to have a save right before it happens.
The tools shop is oddly empty, and the guy does a weird face after closing his store. Not sure if that's intentional.
There's absolutely nobody driving the cars. Sheesh, at least put a grey figure and tint the windows
Maybe in the future an option to change the haircut? How it looks in the thumbnail is good, but in game its... Worse for wear.
Note, all those things were just minor bugs or peeves that will (hopefully) be fixed in due time. I look forward to this!
Yep, sorry! I skimmed through the chapters in version 0.9.0 and everything is SO much better, I hardly have any complaints anymore. Maybe some kind of mini-map would be nice? That's really about it besides some more general NPC interactions.
The only glitch I really found was a river behind the abandoned church you can fall in while on bike. And you fall pretty far and land in some ravine-like area under the map. Walking down it a while makes you fall until you respawn.
Although I have to ask, why were the school outfits changed to casual outfits? I personally liked the old ones, lol (Maybe add a button to swap them?)
Also the personality of the orange haired girl was changed to be WAY less "fuck anyone she sees"? Any reason for that? The peep hole scene was also changed
Other than that, I'm looking forward to this game EVEN more! It looks really good! And it captures a stylized fictional look for the characters that's not really anime, but also not really realistic, really well!! It's pretty rare to see anything with a different style other than anime or realistic. (I'm personally really not a fan of the realistic ones, they look pretty uncanny)
I also noticed some tweaks to the writing that made it much better, everything about this got so much more promising.
My only other complaint is, I cant download version 0.10.0 on the Itch app?
And I notice all the versions are separate, is there any way you could make a version that gets auto-updated? (Itch.io app compatible) I use my computer on a pretty slow hotspot so it takes literally all day to download bigger games lmao
Wonderful! :) A minimap could be a thing in the future. We have more NPC interactions in 0.10.0.
We changed the school outfits to not mess with Steam's terms and conditions as we want to release Monolith Bay on Steam later this year. You can still change clothing for NPCs and get the school outfit back. Just go to the character creator load 'NPC_name' change anything you like and overwrite it with the same name. This will change the appearance of the NPC in story and adult sandbox mode.
Some people complained that she is to slutty in that manner and they didn't liked it. At the same time nobody told us that it is great that she is that way, so we changed that. :)
In case you didn't know, if you want to skip dialogues faster you can hit ESC during a dialogue and choose the fast forward option. F = first person view C = ragdoll mode

what happend in the update?

Thank you!
Cheats will only be available for Patrons.
Alright, also are y'all thinking about mod support, or would it not make sense for this game?
Would be cool for sure, just don't know if it will be easily implementable. We will see what we can do when the game is done.

I don't understand why Win8 though. Win10 can run DX11 games just fine. Did someone in a forum said it's a good idea?
It's fine dev.
The menu is kinda zoomed in how do I fix this?
Android
In the main menu? Because that is just a screenshot. This is not actual UI
Oh ok
The pizza delivery part is bugged for me, whenever I enter the glowing areas I get forced out of the car, cannot reenter or deliver pizzas. i get softlocked an am required to reset the day entirely. what should i do, or at the very least what else can i do for money to get the crow bar, to continue the story?
After you got out of the car, find the right door with a red arrow above it. Interact with it.
Try to install this: MonolithBay\Engine\Extras\Redist\en-us\UE4PrereqSetup_x64.exe
Btw, what are your specs?
It worked, thanks again :) my computer is very bad, it has a intel celeron inside
Great! Glad it worked :)
hello friend, there is an error when I try to download the game, when it is between 200mb and 600mb the download is canceled with the message "Failed - Forbidden" could you help me to solve this problem?
Hello Danden :)
Try the mega link on this site: https://www.patreon.com/posts/release-public-0-40486587
It worked tahnk you
Very good!
oh dear this game is so cool but need fix glitchs on class room there girl her head only shows up she deep in the floor also there is naked girl near the window she just standing there and i hope this game will be official soon it feel like Sims games :D i love it also please add some new advanture story not just for sexuality game
Thank you ameergtx! :) We will see what we can do about the glitches.
Obrigado 🙂
Olá queria muito que vcs colocassem um modo de andar no mapa na versão de Android faria isso?
We will try to do that. But only when the game is finished which can take some time.
No update for android?
Not anytime soon.
Hello im having a problem with it, Im using a android device, I downloaded it and installed but when I open it, it keeps closing the app. Do you know how to fix this? The processcor of my cellphone is Mediatek Helio G80.
Try to open it more often in a row, it could need more tries to open.
Maybe you have your file extensions hidden. Try this
In any case you can open it with 7zip or winrar installed.it's 7z file use https://www.7-zip.org/
Hi Team Monolith,
Good job, keep it up.
I have a suggestion;
I realise it's not a farming sim, but I would like a little garden in the back yard/park/Pamela's Cabin where MC can grow flowers/fruit which can be sold for extra $ or given to girls as a gift.
Just a suggestion, I don't know if it would fit with your story and mechanics
Thank you!
Aha interesting. Well we will give this idea a thought. :)
how do i get fitness stat up?
By riding bike with Pamela. She is at the cabin by the lake.
and how do i interact with her?, shes just standing there in the cabin and i cant get inside
Proceed with the story until the Ghostgirl visits you at your place by night. After that event Pamela will be available.
but there are no story quests left i finished them all and all side quests too nothing new pops up in the quest journal so im just kinda runnin around working on stats and money, last quest i did was collecting 10 crystals and then nothing happened after i did that.
What version do you have? You can see it in the top left corner in the main menu. If I remember correct, you can give the crystals to uncle.
hey so im sorry i cant remember if i ever asked but i want to know if there is heavy drama in this with anything like ntr or whatnot. like is the secret going too cause heavy drama or is the mc uncle in a conspiracy that causes problem for mc. sorry not lookin for spoiler but i want to know if i should avoid the game if it does have it
We have no NTR and so far there is no drama.
You mean the task list is not enough?
im having a problem saving, every time i save then come back to another save point none of my saves are there
Try to run the game in admin mode and see if the issue still occurs.
that fixed it
thank you
Very good
what cheat code
Cheat codes start from 10€ Patreon tier
im not british sir
If you refer to the currency, it's the one we set originally. It changes for every country automatically. But I don't know what you mean since they don't use Euros in the UK.
กรุณาบอกฉันรหัสโกง
So, I downloaded the latest version and whenever I launch it and go past the age warning the game just pauses, nothing moves and if it does then only for like a second and then I have to close it from the task manager. My PC specs are:
i3-5005U
4gb ram
intel hd 5500 graphics
I was hoping if I could get to try this game out cuz the reviews seem promising and stuff, can I do anything about this? please.
I assume that your graphics card is not able to run the game properly. It doesn't seems to be a graphics card for 3D gaming.
I would like to play this on android but before I download it, is the gameplay as complete as the one in microsoft download? Android download says "character creator only". THanks
We don't have the story mode for Android. It's only the character creator and in the Patreon mobile version also the adult sandbox where you can play sex animations with characters you choose.
Oh ok thanks, hope it would be available for android (story mode) as wel
Will there be any story for the shy girl npc?
Yes we will create story for her.
ok thank you!

So...the only way to play the game is to downgrade from windows 10 to 8 so I can play the game with directx 11
..
first thing you need to know that this dialogue is pretty repetitive and makes it longer to read. second thing you need to know that it is now rubbing on me that i am using it. third thing you need to know that you should add a history tab for the dialogues cuz sometimes i skipped the dialog because it was too slow and pressed space.
Its say LowLevelFatalError
Did it crash during the game, or at the start of it? What is your graphics card?
Start of it.... I didnt have Graphics Card ..but I have 8gb RAM and i3 3240...
I saw my Graphics Card... it is Intel(R) HD Graphics 2500 4.0.0 - Build 10.18.10.4358
Looks like your card supports DX11 which is a good thing. In the game folder go to MonolithBay\Engine\Extras\Redist\en-us\UE4PrereqSetup_x64.exe. Install the Prereq and try to play again.
I re-install it and the game won't work either
:(
I have DirectX 12...
Its crashed -_-
My PC Specs are i3 3240 3.4ghz 8gb ram
Is this game going to have an android version too not like only character editing?
We will try to create one after the development is finished. Can't promise if it will work though.
Yess pls make one
i downloaded the game and extracted it with 7zip but it doesnt work i only get a black screen and after i while it crashes it only worked once but stopped at the loading screen
What are your PC specs?
I have downloaded v0.10 but extracting always finishes with some error and I have tried re-downloading it but again it failed to extract. Any solution for this problem.
Do you use winrar or 7zip to extract it?
Winrar
Alright. Try to install 7zip and extract the archive with it.
I used 7zip and it said that it was missing Visual C++, after fixing that I got this
Ok so after messing around with things I found the older version from around a month ago and it changed to v.0.10 not sure if that has anything to do with me downloading the new one.
Sounds like and interesting story does anything happened with Ghost girl like intimate or simply away to get around and inform?
You can get intimate with ghost girl
OUCH!
cant update to 0.10.0 for some reason it updated then when i left the game it went back to 0.9.0 and says new version is on third party site
So, will this game have Pregnancy?
We are planning to implement it.
EDIT: I'M FUCKING STUPID AND DOWNLOADED THE WRONG ONE, DISREGARD THE CRITICISMS SAID HERE
{{{{Played v0.1.3}}}}
Pretty good! I was initially really weirded out by the models, they looked clunky and like they were put together with clay. Not as polished as they are in the thumbnail. But I got used to it. (In-game In-game they look fine. But when talking to eachother their sprites look weird)

Took me about three hours to finish the demo.
Really promising!
There's certainly a few bugs though (Not anything game breaking)
Sometimes you spawn in a sitting position and slide around like that until you open a door and it fixes itself
The house (city hall?) on top of the hill isn't on flat ground, you can see under the front right corner. Also on the way to the city hall-like building there's a random deep gap on the grass that I fell in, took me a bit to get back out. (Its in-between the two roads on the way up the hill)

Note, all those things were just minor bugs or peeves that will (hopefully) be fixed in due time. I look forward to this!
v0.1.3 that explains a lot :D
We enjoyed reading it though. Thanks for the in-depth comment. :)

Also the personality of the orange haired girl was changed to be WAY less "fuck anyone she sees"? Any reason for that? The peep hole scene was also changed
Other than that, I'm looking forward to this game EVEN more! It looks really good! And it captures a stylized fictional look for the characters that's not really anime, but also not really realistic, really well!! It's pretty rare to see anything with a different style other than anime or realistic. (I'm personally really not a fan of the realistic ones, they look pretty uncanny)
I also noticed some tweaks to the writing that made it much better, everything about this got so much more promising.
My only other complaint is, I cant download version 0.10.0 on the Itch app?
And I notice all the versions are separate, is there any way you could make a version that gets auto-updated? (Itch.io app compatible) I use my computer on a pretty slow hotspot so it takes literally all day to download bigger games lmao
Wonderful! :)
A minimap could be a thing in the future.
We have more NPC interactions in 0.10.0.
We changed the school outfits to not mess with Steam's terms and conditions as we want to release Monolith Bay on Steam later this year. You can still change clothing for NPCs and get the school outfit back. Just go to the character creator load 'NPC_name' change anything you like and overwrite it with the same name. This will change the appearance of the NPC in story and adult sandbox mode.
Some people complained that she is to slutty in that manner and they didn't liked it. At the same time nobody told us that it is great that she is that way, so we changed that. :)
In case you didn't know, if you want to skip dialogues faster you can hit ESC during a dialogue and choose the fast forward option.
F = first person view
C = ragdoll mode
For now we only have separate versions sorry.
For v0.10.0 we only put in the mega link. All the other versions are uploaded directly to itch.io. Here you can get the latest free version https://www.patreon.com/posts/release-public-0-40486587
Thanks again for your kind words! :)
