so without stating any spoilers, I have now finished playing the full r18 version (played regular on my phone a long time ago) and got all the acheivements seen all 9 endings (though I do agree that the bad endings feel sort of like a game over but still got them). I went through my gallery in extras and realized I'm missing the first image in the other tab. I was wondering if you could tell me what to do to go about getting that or give a hint as don't need all the answers just really wondered what the image is of and i like completing games
The first image in the OTHER tab should be the intro CG (the scene at the very beginning of the game). Does it say LOCKED or is the game crashing when you try to view it? (Or any other problem?)
Ah. I assumed it would have to be a beginning scene. weird that it says locked still as I did see it. Maybe cause I clicked fast as played before. I'll start a new game and see if it pops in if don't click to fast. I'll let you know if I get it to work. Thanks for the reply.
I love your game but I do have a question after playing through 3 stories. Would it be safe to assume that Rivian and Franz is more canon due to the nature of the game and characters?
I purchased the game on Steam and I was looking for the 18R Patch but I honestly don't see the download link for the patch. Am I missing something on the page?
Absolutely loved this game. Played until I got the happy ending for my preferred love interest (Arden) and now playing on just to see all the possibilities. But I have to admit, I'm kinda sad I can't have more Arden content now. I've unlocked all of his graphics in the gallery, I've bought the art book (which I recommend, it has both additional gorgeous graphics AND some cute/funny BTS stuff) and now I want more Arden content but don't know whether there is any to be found or, if there is any, where. Please advise? Thank you!
So I bought the game again form itch.io and I can't manage to download it on my S9+. Like after I download it and play and then save my things then later open it, it says error and unable to open. And when I press download there is only one file.
From what I've seen so far, the main love interests are Arden, Franz and Linnaeus. I've seen 4 out of 9 possible endings, so my guess by the ones I've seen is that you have a good and bad ending for each of the love interests, plus 3 that are different (because one of the four I've seen was an ending that had little to do with any of the love interests). There's also a side romance, but I haven't unlocked it yet, so can't report on its contents...
Hello there! I have a little problem. I played this game on my samsung s9 and bought all the routes. Unfortunately, I don't know what to do now. I just finished the route with Franz. I would now like to play the route from Arden, but unfortunately I don't know how to do it.
Hello, please play through the beginning again and make different choices. Depending on which choices you make, you'll automatically be placed on Arden's (or another character's) route.
It's so annoying how I didn't know that there was different versions and I bought it on steam. Also I bought the art book and it never loaded. I can't find it anywhere on my steam even though it says I've bought it. Is there anyway to add the r18 version on steam?
Please download the [Patch] file on this page (under the DOWNLOAD DEMOS) section and follow the instructions included in the README to install the R-18 patch.
Not at this time. There used to be an R-18 version available through here, but we removed it with our recent update to the PG-13 version. We may add it again later.
I was planning on getting the demo for this game, but I noticed it was no longer on the Google play store so I found it on your site. I downloaded it, but when I try to open it, it tells me it has stopped working.
I uninstalled it and reinstalled it. I downloaded it again and once again it didn't work. So I reinstalled it and restarted my phone. Still nothing.
I know I can get it on PC, but I travel a lot so my phone is more covenant.
Thank you. I did that and downloaded the demo, but I couldn't find where to buy it. Also when I went into the extra section and clicked on other I got a wall of code. I took a screen shot if you need to see it.
One last thing, when I clicked on credits nothing happened. It didn't even light up.
We've updated the Google play version to fix the bug with the Extras section. Credits will be unlocked once you've completed the game at least once.
Purchase screen will show up once you've ended up on one of the routes, and it will ask if you want to purchase the single route or the full game. A future update will add the ability to purchase the full game to the main menu.
Hi! My name is Eli and just recently I discovered your game on Google play. It wasn't until I was looking for a walkthrough for franz route that I discovered there was an 18+ scene etc. I was wondering how can I acquire this? I tried downloading the demo patch but it would not let me. Do I need to re-buy the game all over to get these scenes?
Enjoyed the demo a bunch and, when I get the chance will be buying the full version.The art is great and, I really loved the background music as, it ties in well with the theme of the game. The voice actors were well played and, unique which really helped boost the atmosphere of the game.
I tried it twice, even downloading it out of Itch.io but it happens again.
The 2 times I download it I installed the Patch 18, and when moving the file "script.rar" always asked me to exchange it instead the file w the same name in "game" carpet. Maybe this has somethingto do with?
I can't get the patch for the R18 to work. I keep getting network failed or Forbidden error issues with the download and I have tried it on multiple systems. is there another way or site I may attempt this?
I just finished watching people play Red Embrace and congratulations! You guys made another awesome game. I someday hope to turn my own stories into games or books ( I do write yaoi romance), you guys are my inspiration!
Goodness that would be awesome! Unfortunately I'm not quite an adult yet, so I'm not sure I could. I've been thinking, however, looking into learning how to make visual novels. I think it would be a great experience, so I'll check that out. But I think it would be so cool to write for you guys! I'm not a professional or anything, writing's just something I do for fun. I guess now it's become a full time hobby, though
I've been watching people play this game, and have fallen in love! But it is simply too expensive for me. That is why I have this question: is it possible to get a game key? And if so, what would I need to do to get it? It's alright if I can't, it was just a thought I had.
I just bought the Android version on itch, and it says that there's supposed to be a zip for both the .apk and .obb files. However, the download gave me ONLY the .apk, which I installed and such on my phone. The game is completely playable, but I don't get the 'R-18' splash screen; not sure if the android version differs from steam in that regard.
ANYWAY! Is JUST the .apk file good for the full-VA R-18 game, or do I need the .obb file as well? And, if the latter, would you mind throwing me a link or something to where I could find it?
Ah, looks like we changed it to just be the single .apk file. There should be another download button for the R18 version in your itch downloads page (4 Android download buttons really...2x no-VA and 2x VA ones).
It’s been a while since I played Chess of Blades. But since I liked the game a lot and I’m on itch.io now, I‘d like to give my impression (possible spoilers included).
Overall, the game was a great experience. I was hooked since the first time I heard about it, because I’m a sucker for fantasy, romance and aristocratic themes. Moreover, the characters were very handsome and fascinated me at first sight. Initially, I wasn’t sure about the humor part because I usually don’t like comedy that much. But I have to say, it turned out to be very pleasant. It didn’t feel ‘over the top’, as it is often the case in games with comedic themes. And I had the feeling that it fitted very well with the noble setting and the puffed up little peacock boys and girls (as Sabre would say).
I also liked the characters, especially the cold-hearted Linnaeus and the passionate Franz. They were so different in their personality. I remember that one dinner scene when they sat at the table next to Rivian and looked at each other in such a malicious way. I already saw the cutlery flying through the room. : D Of course, Rivian was great as well. He was such a cutie with his unique sense of humor and his social allergy! I couldn’t have wished for a better protagonist. I also liked the supporting characters. Everyone had their own unique personality and was an important part of the story and the world.
The storytelling is very good, too. Each route had a different story to tell, so you didn’t get the feeling of having seen everything after completing one route. That motivated me to play through the game several times. I also liked the many secrets and plot twists. Especially Sabre’s route was a very interesting surprise. It wasn’t what I expected (in more than one way hehe). But I’m very happy how that turned out to be.
The art style is also very beautiful. The characters and backgrounds are carefully designed and a lot prettier than in Requiescence. The protagonist and his three love interests look very detailed and elegant and their appearance fits well with the setting. The same is true for the supporting and antagonistic characters.
But also the background characters are drawn with great care. That’s very important to me, because those minor characters are often involved in the events in one way or another, even if we often don’t know exactly, who of them is talking at a certain moment. Sometimes, you hear some voices whispering, talking, discussing, or cheering in the background, while seeing different faces. That gives me a feeling of immersion.
The only criticism I have is that some CG's were used for multiple scenes without adjusting the background. For example the identical kissing scene with Sabre in the cellar and in Rivian’s room, although Rivian’s room looks totally different.
I’m really thankful that the game has full voice acting! The voices fit so well with the characters they belong to. I must confess, I really fall for Franz. His voice was so deep and sexy, that I still have goosebumps while thinking about it. Only Sabre’s recording could be somewhat better. I sometimes had the feeling that his dubber’s microphone was of lesser quality. But maybe that's just my imagination. Overall, I liked his voice too.
The music is very memorable, cheerful and goes well with the aristocratic theme. I especially liked the opening tune and the melody that was played at the stalls. You really feel like you are part of the festival. As if you would stroll along and buy things yourself.
Another advantage is that the game is more interactive than Requiescence. I prefer to have lots of choices in a visual novel, so that I can feel more like a part of the fictive world around me. I also liked the way how there’s no obvious way to reach the good ending and therefore you could say something wrong and miss it by accident. When I play a game I want to be challenged and to think about what I'm saying to solve a situation satisfactorily. In this regard, I especially liked the courtroom scene in Linnaeus’ route.
Unfortunately, the bad endings felt more like a ‘game over’ to me. That was a pity, because I think that endings should be designed in such a way that you feel like you've come to an end, even if it's a negative one.
But that’s the only bigger point of criticism I have. I had much fun with the game. Next to story and characters, I especially liked the playing time. I prefer long visual novels (around 100,000 words ore more) because I often feel that shorter games leave to unresolved issues and open questions. Nonetheless, the Story has the potential to be continued. I wouldn’t mind another game, which is playing in this universe. But it can also be considered a completed work. Both things work.
Thanks again to Argent Games for this very good game. I had a lot of fun with it. Keep up the good work! : )
Absolutely Loving what I've seen of the game in videos but when I downloaded it onto my tablet and played it.... Everytime before the background changes the screen goes blank except for the background with the music still playing and freezes like that for awhile. Is this normal or....? Is there anything I can do to stop it from happening?
Even if I go super slow it doesn't make a difference on my tablet and I couldn't even get it to open on my computer until I went through steam to download it :(
I'm having a problem going to Sabre's route.. I've download the patch and tried everything but it just does not give me the option to split up. it just automatically starts Arden's route, it frustrating.
Thanks so much for your help! However, after installing the r 18+ files, do i have to replay the game, or can I start from a previous save to get the 18+ scenes?
Really enjoyed this one! I've only played through Linnaeus' route so far, I have a soft spot for arrogant guys and long hair so I knew I had to do him first, I mean play his route first what. The writing was wonderful, I loved the little quips between him and Rivian. The art was gorgeous, I particularly liked the backgrounds. I really loved the GUI as well, it was nice and simple yet elegant, perfect for the setting.
SPOILERS
My favorite part was probably when they first met, and Linnaeus kept going on about Riv being a 'lint picker'.
edit: I also really enjoyed the trial part at the end! Gave me phoenix wright vibes and it was fun presenting the evidence.
END SPOILERS
Lovely voice acting too. Probably my favorite of your games so far! Fantastic work and congrats on getting it out. a++ 5 stars thumbs up
So far I'm enjoying it a lot! I really love music and especially the dialogues, which are so much fun to read. That was also something I greatly enjoyed with Red Embrace.
I'm playing it on Android 6.0.1 and it keeps crashing after the Masquerade with Linnaeus. The other routes - despite common lags- worked well.
hello , i tryed downloading the r 18 patch on my windows laptop but it doesnt seem to be a zip folder like mentioned . do you have any instructions on what i should do?
I'm shocked - shocked to discovered this is such a great, well-made game! I don't expect much from visual novels, but wow, now my bar's raised. I've just finished all the routes, and each and every one is great in its own way. It's a bit of a fairy-tale setting (those nobles who actually work and the fact that our main hero can decide to actually have a trade and do things - this is so cute), but to be honest, I prefer that sort of fairy tale to traditional bullshit set societal roles thing. Thank you for the experience :)
Thanks for your feedback! <3 And if you purchased through Itch, you can download the Android version on your phone as well -- both the PG-13 and R-18 versions should be available! :)
Just my first episode of the game and I'm already hooked. The soundtrack and the music are superb and the art style is consistent. I'll try writing more cohesive thoughts but I'd like to commend the production value put into this game!
Question about the android version. is it the PG version or the R version? If it's the pg, is there a way to get the r version on android? (Kinda own a shared computer and are nosey and doesn't know I'm gay so getting it on the pc is out of the question but I do want to buy it for the android)
Hello! First of all I must say your game looks absolutely amazing and I can't wait to play it! The only thing that's stopping me before that though is to know whether I should play the PG-13 version of the game first or if I should add the NSFW patch before starting the game for the first time.
I'm truly sorry if this is a question you already answered here or elsewhere but I wanted to know, are things different between the PG-13 version and 18- version? Like does each of them have different dialogues, different scenes, etc? Or does the NSFW just add more scenes and content to the PG-13 version?
I hope you don't mind my question and that you'll be able to answer it. (Also sorry for any spelling mistakes, English isn't my first language). Thank you in advance!

Are you still looking for writers? I'd dearly love to apply if it's something that can be done from home. I've worked in Ren'Py before and I'm 21. 🙂
We are indeed. Please feel free to submit information! https://argentgames.co/jobs/#writers
Argent Games question for you. Who is your favorite love route?
Peacock!
I love your game but I do have a question after playing through 3 stories. Would it be safe to assume that Rivian and Franz is more canon due to the nature of the game and characters?
Nope, no route is more canon than the other!
I purchased the game on Steam and I was looking for the 18R Patch but I honestly don't see the download link for the patch. Am I missing something on the page?
It should be in the download demos section (http://prntscr.com/mjwaxt)

Not at this time. There used to be an R-18 version available through here, but we removed it with our recent update to the PG-13 version. We may add it again later.
Ok! Thanks for your reply. I love your games, and was gonna wait to buy it if there wasn't an R-18 version for my device.
I really hope so I play on my phone and would love the R-18

Hello, we have just updated the Google play version of the game. Could you try that and let us know if it works? ((https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.argentgames.chessofblades.mobi...)
Thank you. I did that and downloaded the demo, but I couldn't find where to buy it. Also when I went into the extra section and clicked on other I got a wall of code. I took a screen shot if you need to see it.
One last thing, when I clicked on credits nothing happened. It didn't even light up.
Thank you again for your time.
We've updated the Google play version to fix the bug with the Extras section. Credits will be unlocked once you've completed the game at least once.
Purchase screen will show up once you've ended up on one of the routes, and it will ask if you want to purchase the single route or the full game. A future update will add the ability to purchase the full game to the main menu.
Hello!
The Sabre route doesn't seem to be working or have you removed it?
It should be there? Did you meet the route conditions to get on his route?
Yeah, I followed some walkthroughs but still ended up with Arden in the end no matter what I picked.
Hi! I am having the same problem, I have done everything I need to do to go his route and it will not let me.
As expected of Argent! And the soundtracks are amazing everytime.
Hi! My name is Eli and just recently I discovered your game on Google play. It wasn't until I was looking for a walkthrough for franz route that I discovered there was an 18+ scene etc. I was wondering how can I acquire this? I tried downloading the demo patch but it would not let me. Do I need to re-buy the game all over to get these scenes?
18+ version is only available through purchases here, unfortunately, so you would need to buy the game again to access them.
Hi!
After meeting Linnaeus this error message shows up. What could I do? I'am using Itch.io.
Could you try downloading the game again? It sounds like not all the files were downloaded properly o_o
I'll try. Thanks ^^!
Hiii
I tried it twice, even downloading it out of Itch.io but it happens again.
The 2 times I download it I installed the Patch 18, and when moving the file "script.rar" always asked me to exchange it instead the file w the same name in "game" carpet. Maybe this has somethingto do with?
I'll try playing the game without the Patch 18.
Let us know if it works without the patch. If it does, then something is being deleted improperly when you apply the patch.
I can't get the patch for the R18 to work. I keep getting network failed or Forbidden error issues with the download and I have tried it on multiple systems. is there another way or site I may attempt this?
Can you try this?
I just finished watching people play Red Embrace and congratulations! You guys made another awesome game. I someday hope to turn my own stories into games or books ( I do write yaoi romance), you guys are my inspiration!
We currently have a call for writers open (though we may close it soon), and we hope you'll apply if that's something you'd like to pursue!
Goodness that would be awesome! Unfortunately I'm not quite an adult yet, so I'm not sure I could. I've been thinking, however, looking into learning how to make visual novels. I think it would be a great experience, so I'll check that out. But I think it would be so cool to write for you guys! I'm not a professional or anything, writing's just something I do for fun.

Let us know if you need any help with making VNs! We have a dedicated channel in our Discord to general gamedev and helping others out^^
I've been watching people play this game, and have fallen in love! But it is simply too expensive for me. That is why I have this question: is it possible to get a game key? And if so, what would I need to do to get it? It's alright if I can't, it was just a thought I had.
We'll be holding a raffle soon since we just hit 1010 Twitter followers!
Well darn. I don't own Twitter. Thank you though! I really like your games
The raffle will be posted throughout most of our channels, as we know a lot of our fans don't use Twitter!
Good! I'll check it out when I have a chance
Just in case you haven't seen: https://blog.argentgames.co/post/176952228757/1010-twitter-followers-raffle
where is the patch?
It's in the downloads section by all the demo downloads. It should be near the bottom of the page.
**Do note there is no patch for games purchased through Google Play**
thanks, i found it. for some reason the itchio app wasnt allowing me to see it from there so i had to find it through the browser.
hi i bought the Full VA game from Google play can i patch the game to the 18r version or can't i?
If yes how to patch please
Can you make me have access to the links above
Hello, unfortunately Google Play versions cannot be patched to add R-18 content.
Hi, guys, quick question!
I just bought the Android version on itch, and it says that there's supposed to be a zip for both the .apk and .obb files. However, the download gave me ONLY the .apk, which I installed and such on my phone. The game is completely playable, but I don't get the 'R-18' splash screen; not sure if the android version differs from steam in that regard.
ANYWAY! Is JUST the .apk file good for the full-VA R-18 game, or do I need the .obb file as well? And, if the latter, would you mind throwing me a link or something to where I could find it?
ಥ ◡ ಥ
Thanks so much and keep up the AMAZING WORK~❤
Ah, looks like we changed it to just be the single .apk file. There should be another download button for the R18 version in your itch downloads page (4 Android download buttons really...2x no-VA and 2x VA ones).
It’s been a while since I played Chess of Blades. But since I liked the game a lot and I’m on itch.io now, I‘d like to give my impression (possible spoilers included).

Thanks again to Argent Games for this very good game. I had a lot of fun with it. Keep up the good work! : )
Love it! I've downloaded the NSFW patches. Can i resume playing the game or must i start over?
You can resume playing from where you left off, no need to start over! :)
Absolutely Loving what I've seen of the game in videos but when I downloaded it onto my tablet and played it.... Everytime before the background changes the screen goes blank except for the background with the music still playing and freezes like that for awhile. Is this normal or....? Is there anything I can do to stop it from happening?
This isn't normal. Are you trying to click/skip through the dialogue too quickly when backgrounds change?
Even if I go super slow it doesn't make a difference on my tablet and I couldn't even get it to open on my computer until I went through steam to download it :(
What was the error on your computer? If you shoot us an email (contact@argentgames.co), we can try to send you another Android build.
I absolutely loved this game, so much so that I read and followed every route in one sitting. Keep up the great work.
I'm having a problem going to Sabre's route.. I've download the patch and tried everything but it just does not give me the option to split up. it just automatically starts Arden's route, it frustrating.
Please try following this guide!
I have, unfortunately..
I’ve seemed to fix it! Thank you! I case anyone experience this problem I’ve fixed it by completing Arden’s route!
Hi, i bought the game on steam and i am really enjoying it! However, im not sure where to get the files for the 18+ Patch. Could you help me find it?
Hello,
Please download the patch .rar or .zip under the "demo" section on COB's Itch page:
Inside, you will find a text file with directions for patching on Steam. The image links will show you what to look for!
Send us an email at contact@argentgames.co if you run into any more difficulties! ^^
Thanks so much for your help! However, after installing the r 18+ files, do i have to replay the game, or can I start from a previous save to get the 18+ scenes?
Really enjoyed this one! I've only played through Linnaeus' route so far, I have a soft spot for arrogant guys and long hair so I knew I had to do him first, I mean play his route first what. The writing was wonderful, I loved the little quips between him and Rivian. The art was gorgeous, I particularly liked the backgrounds. I really loved the GUI as well, it was nice and simple yet elegant, perfect for the setting.
SPOILERS
My favorite part was probably when they first met, and Linnaeus kept going on about Riv being a 'lint picker'.
edit: I also really enjoyed the trial part at the end! Gave me phoenix wright vibes and it was fun presenting the evidence.
END SPOILERS
Lovely voice acting too. Probably my favorite of your games so far! Fantastic work and congrats on getting it out. a++ 5 stars thumbs up
Hi, I bought this game on steam, but I can't figure out how I am supposed to get the r18 patch and add it to my game :/ Please help me!

It worked! Thank you sooooo much!!! <3
So far I'm enjoying it a lot! I really love music and especially the dialogues, which are so much fun to read. That was also something I greatly enjoyed with Red Embrace.
I'm playing it on Android 6.0.1 and it keeps crashing after the Masquerade with Linnaeus. The other routes - despite common lags- worked well.
Please keep up the good work~
hello , i tryed downloading the r 18 patch on my windows laptop but it doesnt seem to be a zip folder like mentioned . do you have any instructions on what i should do?
The zip file has been uploaded. Please let us know if that doesn't work!
I'm shocked - shocked to discovered this is such a great, well-made game! I don't expect much from visual novels, but wow, now my bar's raised. I've just finished all the routes, and each and every one is great in its own way. It's a bit of a fairy-tale setting (those nobles who actually work and the fact that our main hero can decide to actually have a trade and do things - this is so cute), but to be honest, I prefer that sort of fairy tale to traditional bullshit set societal roles thing. Thank you for the experience :)
Thank you for the kind words! <3
Just finished all the routes of the game. It is a great game, I must say. I like the accent, and really love Rivian's voice. Thanks for the game.
I hadn't realized the version on google store isn't R18 until first play through. What a shame, can't afford to purchase again :(
Thanks for your feedback! <3 And if you purchased through Itch, you can download the Android version on your phone as well -- both the PG-13 and R-18 versions should be available! :)
I have a mac computer and tried to download the R-18 patch but it will not open.
Are you having difficulty unzipping the file?
Yes i have spent a few hours trying as many things i can but it will not open for anything i try and do.
Please try using The Unarchiver (https://theunarchiver.com/) to open the file. It should be able to open the .rar!
I have tried but i did it again just to make sure but it did not work.
If you send us an email (contact@argentgames.co), we can try sending you the files in another format.
Just my first episode of the game and I'm already hooked. The soundtrack and the music are superb and the art style is consistent. I'll try writing more cohesive thoughts but I'd like to commend the production value put into this game!
Question about the android version. is it the PG version or the R version?
If it's the pg, is there a way to get the r version on android? (Kinda own a shared computer
and are nosey and doesn't know I'm gayso getting it on the pc is out of the question but I do want to buy it for the android)There are separate PG and R18 android builds on itch ;) If you buy it through the google play store, you'll only get the PG version.
Ah sweet, thanks a bunch!
Oh my god i'm an idiot I just saw them. Sorry to be a bother lol ><'
Hello! First of all I must say your game looks absolutely amazing and I can't wait to play it! The only thing that's stopping me before that though is to know whether I should play the PG-13 version of the game first or if I should add the NSFW patch before starting the game for the first time.
I'm truly sorry if this is a question you already answered here or elsewhere but I wanted to know, are things different between the PG-13 version and 18- version? Like does each of them have different dialogues, different scenes, etc? Or does the NSFW just add more scenes and content to the PG-13 version?
I hope you don't mind my question and that you'll be able to answer it. (Also sorry for any spelling mistakes, English isn't my first language). Thank you in advance!
The two versions are the same aside from the NSFW scenes. Enjoy!
Okay! :) Thank you so very much for your reply!
