Seems like something on your end. I've never had anything like that with this game, but your best bet at avoiding that (if just repeatedly clicking the screen doesn't work) is just to not play in fullscreen.
Just wanted to say that on the page of the game the link to your personal twitter account is outdated! Not sure if thats intentional or not but i just wanted to inform you, thank you for the amazing game! :D
I have a small question: for the pc(windows) version, how can I restart the game completely after I missed the chance given by Alon? I really have the urge to replay the game from the beginning. Thx : )
iirc, progress is stored as cookies in itch, so deleting those deletes ur progress the next time you download. (not sure how to single out just the ones from shelter tho)
alternatively just replay on a different platform. Replaying on android, for example, did not save my progress.
But I want to know, after Rune finishes his end,Is there any new content about him in the future?Purr，This makes me afraid to reach the end.Rune is really cute and can make people feel company.
So I finished Burry's route, and there's one thing that kept bothering me. What exactly happens when someome goes "Ablaze"? Since Burry can forcefully invoke Ablaze through putting someone through extreme stress, what exactly does that mean for the person?
One thing that bothered me was when Luke supposedly went into Ablaze during one of the flashbacks in Max's route, human mana crystals started popping up around him. Are the crystals a byproduct of Ablaze? And ever since then (I Think), Luke lost his memories of everything.
What I'm currently assuming is that when a person experiences extreme stress or trauma, they undergo Ablaze, and lose their memories (?) in the process as their mana starts to crystalize around them. This might explain the crystals that appeared in Alon's backstory. So if mana is your life experiences and memories (?), then the crystals that have a person's mana is their memories that a person going into Ablaze expelled?
Sorry, I'm trying to write a fanfic about Shelter and I need clarification :'(
This is just what I think happens so take it with a grain of salt!
I think mana is just memories taking physical forms, they stay in the air when they form, so when you use magic, the cost it has is that you're burning those memories, even the ones that aren't yours, (mostly the ones that are floating in the air and present around you), the stronger the memories are, the stronger they burn. So going ablaze is just burning throught the memories that surround you so quickly that you also start burning the ones inside you too, I believe that inside your body and inside the creatures in general, mana is present in the blood (and saliva, mostly fluids I assume). In times of need a creature concentrates it on a liquid like blood, and if there happens to be a lot of mana on it (like going ablaze), the moment that liquid touches the air the reaction happens so quickly it cristalizes instead of burning.
We see this as Alon bites the hand of that guy, or when Luke is stabbed on the past sequence, etc.
I believe Luke is the only one (who we know of) that has lost memories when going through ablaze. This is because instead of the typical components for an ember (multiple charges of mana across different species), Luke burned his core memories to grant the necessary mana to perform miracles like...purifying monsters, or granting all-seeing eyes.
How he does this? We don't know, just as Luke probably doesn't anymore. Maybe that'll be expanded on more in Alon's route. The crystals sprouting from Ablaze also seem to be unique to Luke (even if other crystals exist) but take that with a grain of salt since I honestly don't remember Alon's route all that well.
I can't remember if Ablaze itself was ever fully explained, other than just being the "level" above racial abilities. From what we know, it seems to be a state of heightened mana burning activated through significant life events, which culminates in an Ember: an ultimate move whose composition and effects stem from the life experience that activated ablaze. And from Cooper, we know that this is not something all magic users experience, even living a life of battle.
Not sure if Ablaze must be activated through significant trauma either, or if it can be done through significant emotion of any kind, like joy or love...though I'd imagine the Ember based off of an emotion like that would be more support based than offensive.
But either way, for others, it seems that particularly strong core memories unlock a person's Ablaze, but don't get used up themselves as the fuel for it is provided by external mana.

So I gotta ask, after Rune's route...does the game go straight into Max's route or does it depends on whoever's route? I am getting confused.
yep after you finish rune route you can max route and then alon
Now idk if its just me but my mouse is insivisble? Like i cant see it what so ever
Idk if this a game bug or me bug so im just asking

我真的很喜欢 Alon。可以为他创作更多的 CG 或成人内容吗？
I want to save Rune´s class, but I can´t figure it out !!
Just keep progressing the story :)
Hiya!

Oh yeah you're right! I fixed it. Thanks :)

That really helps. Thanks for your explanation! I'll try restarting on my android now. Wish you a nice day!
Maybe my question is a little silly.

So spoilers
I finished rune route but like I really wanted there to be romance between them like yk
Pretty sure Rune dislikes monogamous relationships and prefers polygamous relationships.
Omg i did the code 6969 it works so well beacuse he said that's second thing after 1234 those perverts are going to try lmao.
Guys, can someone tell me where all Mysterious Figures located?
you can ask this in the discord server, where there is a section called (shelter spoilers) :P
