I've definitely gotten my money's worth so far, but the priorities of what has been done seems odd. Like the sex scenes are very bare bones (basically just animations you choose from a drop down box) but instead of making them more developed, you added a space shooter segment?
i had the version before the payment system went live, there was no where near $27 (wtf is a USD) worth of content. all i can say is, you're prolly some yuppie who doesnt know the value of the dollar, or the value of coding to a mass-market. the price here says that we should be getting at least 1/4 of an AAA games worth. no way thats happening. removing it from my recommendations list. id hate to be associated with such a dodgy marketing model.
Sorry to hear that's how you think about it. Just wondering where do you get $27 from, it is supposed to be $19.99. (USD is the normal dollar, stands for US Dollar I think)
The game is easily 10h+ and there is a lot of work put into it that's why we thought it is worth the price.
Again sorry if the game is not meeting your expectations, feel free to refund it if you like.
10 hours? is there like, a secret access area or something? there was the mission to the school, and chasing some girl around the park and that was referred to as a 'date', the ghost girl mission, and that was it.. oh, and you could ride a bike around delivering pizzas or something.. like, an hours worth of content tops. if there was more content, you should make it accessible, cos you dont go from an hours worth of content to "10+" in one update a few months later. doesnt happen, ever. what there was, was interesting, but not 1/4 of an AAA games worth of interesting. and yes, USD is american dollars, not "normal" dollars, which exchanges to 28 normal dollars, today. a AAA game is usually $80 normal dollars, so that puts your price a closer to 1/3 of a AAA game. perhaps you have confused "effort" with "value". i put a whole lot of effort into my employment, but there no way my boss is paying me what i think my efforts are worth.. i just dont add that much value to him
Most players indeed report 10h playtime, if you don't skip all text ofc. And yes there is a lot more content than you mentioned. You must have just played the free demo.
You only listed the demos content. Oh and USD is the currency used for the United States idk what you mean by normal dollar there is no "normal" dollar
Have you done dating sequences with Violet or Coira, or done some stuff with the date action menu? This is where the most adult stuff happens. For adult scenes, well yes they are mostly just animations. But the BJ is pretty special you can control it with your mouse. Do you have any suggestions on how to improve adult scenes?
And yes we know the normal game to adult game ratio is quite a bit different compared to other adult games but we want to make a game that is not just focused around the adult part but also has some cool normal parts, that's why we put a lot of work in both :)
In the Brothel. With the very left hooker you need to do the bondage thing, after that you will have the rope. You might wanna talk with the woman behind the bar beforehand. Also when the hooker starts moving, let her go into the room first. Don't try to outrun her to be first in the room. That could prevent a bug from happening.
And what about fixing the gender options? for an example: the futa/trans MC option is just cosmetic all npc's still see the MC as a male/boy/he/him as if the MC has no female/futa/trans body or clothing I hope this is also on the to-do list?
It's a shame this game has no pregnancy mechanics this would make the game much more fun and interesting I am hoping that the dev's will add this in one of the future updates please?
Hi, I wanted to know why on mobile the screen is cut off and I can't open the story mode. He wanted to know if story mode is available on cell phones thank you if you answer 👍
I thought this game was supposed to come out on Steam in October. It's been removed from my Steam Wishlist. You can't even search for it anymore. Any ideas if this is still getting released on Steam?
Hi, so i have an issue when i try to create and save my character in the character creator i get this message.. I don't know how to get that permission and the game is on my /documents..
Edit: Or is it just not available as a feature for public version of the game?
No, I've found 2 more of the 40 collectibles and completed several tasks since day 8. The weird thing is when I go into the save folder and check the dates they're all the last time I played and I don't even know where to begin looking for the "old" save file as I've been overwriting the first save slot. It's no big deal, I'll just replay the content, just a bummer cause I'd like to get to it sooner than later :P.
I FIXED IT! I opened version 9, loaded the save, moved the save folder out of local, created a new save and verified that it copied my data to Version 13. :D
Hey I had previously wish listed your game on Steam and I went to check today the store page for Monolith Bay and it's gone. Is this going to be fixed? Thanks and have a great day.
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?

HOW DO i OPEN AND RUN THE .7z file? im on windows 10 or 11
Download the tool 7zip. Extract our game archive with it and run the MonolithBay.exe
Are you planning to bring it to steam?
We want to but there have been issues from Steam's side of things. Sadly we don't know if and when :/
I've definitely gotten my money's worth so far, but the priorities of what has been done seems odd. Like the sex scenes are very bare bones (basically just animations you choose from a drop down box) but instead of making them more developed, you added a space shooter segment?

i'm not the one claiming there is a "normal dollar". $19USD is/was $27AUD..
so, i was right hey? i did play the version before the $19 version

Very interesting so far, but is there a way to change your characters name? I think I overlooked it but I genuinely can't find it lmao
Thank you. You can only choose a name when you start a new game. You can't change it afterwards.
Is there an Android port of the full game planned, or is it only going to be limited to just the character creator?
We are going to try one when the PC version of the game is done.
really good game i hope to see the following soon
Hello! I need some help. I can't open the game It said "Failed to open descriptor file ../../../MonolithBay.uproject"
[Solve] I just download Mega version and It's work completely fine now.
I noticed that the game got removed from Steam. What happened?
We will walk about it when we have more info.
The issue is not from our side, we want the game on steam. So sadly nothing much we can do or say :(
i cant get past the pirate ship level i cant find a use for the anchor and i cant find the walkthrough
combine anchor with rope and use it with the cannon at the end of the jetty
thank you
Sure
PLEASE TELL ME WHERE THE ROPE IS ON THE ISLAND ! I WANT TO PROGRESS WITH THE STORY BUT I CAN NOT FIND THE ROPE. Thnx !
In the Brothel. With the very left hooker you need to do the bondage thing, after that you will have the rope. You might wanna talk with the woman behind the bar beforehand.

Hi... May i know the minimum requirements for the game on android? I have an oppo f1s idk if its compatible or not, when i open it, it just crashes
We don't know the min requ phone, sorry.
I see...
Hello when I try to run the game, it stays on black screen and I get this error
Hi. What is your GPU?
I have a, 4GB Ram, i3 and W10 64bits, Graphic card AMD Radeon HD 6450
I bet it's the graphics unit on your cpu. Sounds like it's to weak.
with an i5 cpu would it work better?
Better would be a dedicated graphics card from Nvidia or AMD. They are just very expensive nowadays.
And what about fixing the gender options? for an example: the futa/trans MC option is just cosmetic all npc's still see the MC as a male/boy/he/him as if the MC has no female/futa/trans body or clothing I hope this is also on the to-do list?
It's a shame this game has no pregnancy mechanics this would make the game much more fun and interesting I am hoping that the dev's will add this in one of the future updates please?
That is on our to-do list ;)
When will story mode come for mobile?
We will try to do that when the game is finished
I gess,I have to wait
Hi, I wanted to know why on mobile the screen is cut off and I can't open the story mode. He wanted to know if story mode is available on cell phones thank you if you answer 👍
There is no story mode for mobile. The cut off section is just an image, ignore it.
I thought this game was supposed to come out on Steam in October. It's been removed from my Steam Wishlist. You can't even search for it anymore. Any ideas if this is still getting released on Steam?
When we know more, we will tell you all. :)
Quando vira atualização para Android?? Queria poder andar no mapa q nem de PC!😕
Perhaps when the game is finished.
Like how do I get the game to run?
Download and install the tool 7zip. Extract the downloaded Monolith Bay archive and run the MonolithBay.exe file.
Get the tool 7zip. Unpack the archive downloaded on itch and start the MonolithBay.exe
Hi, so i have an issue when i try to create and save my character in the character creator i get this message.. I don't know how to get that permission and the game is on my /documents..
Edit: Or is it just not available as a feature for public version of the game?
Try this or a similar tutorial:
If that doesn't work, move the game to a different folder that is not in documents.Thanks for the reply : ) I'm gonna try that.
Thank you autocross99! :)
how do i enter the codes in the game
In the game you can access the phone menu by pressing ESC. There you will find the cheats section on the right.
On Version 9 I've gotten up to day 15 however when I load up Version 13 it shows an older save from day 8. Any thoughts on this?
Is the progress of the odd day 8 the same as in day 15? If you, just ignore it. Otherwise I don't know what or how it happened.
No, I've found 2 more of the 40 collectibles and completed several tasks since day 8. The weird thing is when I go into the save folder and check the dates they're all the last time I played and I don't even know where to begin looking for the "old" save file as I've been overwriting the first save slot. It's no big deal, I'll just replay the content, just a bummer cause I'd like to get to it sooner than later :P.
I FIXED IT! I opened version 9, loaded the save, moved the save folder out of local, created a new save and verified that it copied my data to Version 13. :D
This is great! Thanks for letting us know. :)
Hey I had previously wish listed your game on Steam and I went to check today the store page for Monolith Bay and it's gone. Is this going to be fixed? Thanks and have a great day.
I just noticed the same. I sure hope this game is still going to get released on steam. It's the only place I can support the dev.
We are investigating it.
Eu baixei a versão Android mas não sai da tela de criar personagem, o que posso fazer?
As long as you can save the character creator it should be fine if you just close the app and restart it.
Is this available on mobile?
I just tried it and the system shows that my device is not supported.
is there any specs for the game in the android version? like android 4.5+ or 10+ ??
We don't know any specs for mobile phones. We just tried out a few phones.
Only the character creator and the adult sandbox, not the story mode.
I can cancel my donation I thought it was 2 reais.
2,00 USD = 12 Reais
I found out that you can write to support@itch.io and ask for a refund.
i hope there is we can go back to school :D its says not available
its not working for me ,after i press continue on the 18+ screen it just freezez at the loading screen
same here
What are your pc specs?
CPU: ryzen 5 2600
GPU: Radeon RX 580
16gb of ram
Try ALT+ENTER
all it does is take me out of fullscreen and the bug continues
What are your pc specs?
Try ALT+ENTER
I'm having a problem with the character's. All girls look like that.
In the character creator go to save/load and check the NPC button. Are they look all the same there as well?
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.

I let it set for another 2 hours and nothing changed
what happend in the update?
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.
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.
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

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 :)
