I’m more a fan of the angels if I’m being honest but I do have to say the idea of romancing the demoness is intriguing. I could picture a love hate thing going on.

Hey all! This might be one of the last original updates I anticipate posting on this thread (of course I will still respond to any game questions/bug reports/etc.), as all other activity is now devoted to the new topic thread for our sequel, Have Human, Will Travel!
This is good news for all of you, because once HHWT enters beta testing, we will be able to get the save function activated for So, You’re Possessed! Since that will necessitate an app update anyway and I did have to refine a bit of code to account for all the transfer variables into the next game, when that time comes I will also be submitting an updated copy of SYP with a new hidden achievement (!!!), along with some related flavor text. It will just be a little inside joke and gesture of appreciation to our supporters.
Also trying to verify whether a bug caused some players to miss a small chunk of dialogue in Chapter 6. Currently testing it out, but will include that with update if I can isolate and fix, as well.
THANK YOU!

Yay, yay, yay! NEW UPDATE for the game released!
So, what is included, you may be asking?
-SAVE FUNCTION ACTIVATED! WOOOO!
-That brand spankin’ new hidden achievement we promised (not going to tell you what it is, but here is a hint: I wondered “Has anyone, either on purpose or by accident before they met the other NPCs, thought to try this yet?”)!
-A bit more content added in small chunks throughout the game to help enhance some details of the story
-Issue in Chap 6 that was causing some players to miss out on some content fixed
Edit: All app stores and links are current now!
Thanks to the CoG staff that helped this along, we’re very grateful! And, of course, to the community that has been supporting us this whole time! Super excited to be bringing you the sequel next!

Hello! Uh… not sure if I’m doing the right thing for this. Big fan though, you were quite nice to me on Twitter recently too so I wanted to make sure I did my part in reporting issues and the like.
I’ve found that I am unable to use or find any save feature in the Android version of the app. I’ve played through several times since the patch now, read some of the new pages and enjoyed myself quite a bit (I admit to a growing crush on Elyse…). I’m about to delete the app and try redownloading to see if that fixes the issue but I wanted to bring it up just in case, just to ensure there is written documentation.
Keep up the good work and know you have a very silent and adoring supporter huddled in a corner, surrounded by video games but totally distracted by your reading this instead. (The pile just keeps growing… Zero Dawn, Persona 5, Kingdom Hearts 1.5 - 2.8, Syberia 3) Thank you again for bringing this into being, it really does help (me, at least) feel less like the world as a whole isn’t worth dealing with.
I think this got a bit wordier than I intended… oh well, too lazy to do anything except post it now!

Hi, thank you! 
And I’m always happy to field questions and concerns about the game here on the forums or through our fan pages, so no worries there.
In my experience, sometimes CoG and HG do not update automatically. If you can get into your Settings and open the “Manage Applications” screen and force a manual update, that tends to do the trick! Hopefully you don’t have to delete it entirely, but that would be my next suggestion if the first doesn’t work. An easy way to tell is if the achievements go from having 25 to 26. If that STILL doesn’t work, please let me know so I can escalate the problem to the right person!
Anyway, thanks again and we appreciate the continued support! As someone for whom books and video games (especially story rich ones) have been an absolute lifeline during troubled times, it means SO MUCH to think I may have been able to help pay it forward for someone else. I’m really thrilled and humbled that you enjoyed it so much. I really hope you like the rest of the series when it drops, too!

So I checked around and tried different methods, including redownloading, but I’m still unable to save. Bright side, got to try the romancing Sidney without that kiss scene. So that’s cool!
Also now I wanna sit down and chat video games with you. Ask your opinions on Mass Effect and so on. Speaking of which, I’m on my third or fourth playthrough of Mass Effect Andromeda and I have to get it done so I can return to romancing my crush. Oh PeeBee… and Suvi. And this ran a bit long…
Hahaha, there’s been a few ME and BioWare discussions on here on the forums that I have participated in, so I definitely have thoughts on those. Full disclosure, tho, I haven’t played Andromeda yet! Never preordered it and was kinda disappointed by what I’d seen and heard of it. Might wait on the next big patch and see.
Oh, and just so I can be sure I’m investigating the correct problem, is the game not updating at all? OR did it update (should be 26 total achievements and version 1.1.0) and you just aren’t prompted to save your game at the end? Because those are two different issues. Thanks!
P.S. When you say Android, did you get it thru Google Play or Amazon or…?
It is updating, I’ve made sure to check that more than once. It just has no prompt to save. I’m using the version off Google Play
Once reaching the end it asks for a rating > gives links to subscribe/see Facebook > then it appears to hit a dead end that just says “thank you” with no other buttons at all and the user has to go into the menu in order to reset the game manually.
I just popped back in to ensure I had the repro steps correct and take screenshots only to see that the thank you screen now seems to have the save feature! So colour me confused. I’m going to leave my wordy bug report up there just in case.
Andromeda is fun (Full disclosure, I worked really hard to avoid any and all info on it so I could experience it like I did the original, in that I went in expecting a meh sort of game and came out with one of my favourite games of all time.). The thing with it is that you need to separate it from the trilogy. It’s the same universe but not really the same kinda game (has a very DAI feel at times.) New game plus is where the most irritating bugs reside in my experience thus far. I honestly can’t really hold it up with the trilogy though, it feels like it’s own separate entity and comparing it to the original feels not quite right in most regards. Also it’s BioWare Montreal that’s behind it so bugs are… a fact of life lol. They aren’t very good with doing their QA from what I’ve seen of past works. But now with a big title to work on in a consistent manner, those standards might change. Back when I was working (or just before I got hired at EA), I had a discussion with some of the devs when they came in for business and they really did seem interested in fan feedback and making what they thought gamers wanted. But the loudest fans are the obnoxious ones so they don’t really… get to hear the proper feedback, just stuff like “moar butts and smexy tiems”
I type so much here. Why can’t I do that when I want to write something creative? Lol. Sorry for all the words. I don’t talk to people anymore so whether it’s the written word or spoken, I kinda just say everything I can think of to try and maximise the socializing thing.

Hahaha, it’s all good! Yeah, honestly, I think I like DA franchise a little more than ME, but I love them both. I’ve been a longtime fan of BW in general, since NWN. No question that they’ve been through a lot of changes over the years, which have also had an impact on the games they make and how. I agree with your assessment about the consistency, fans, and feedback. I know I will get around to playing it when I have the time at some point.
Anyway, since I have to leave for work soon, I’m gonna keep this short and sweet for now, but I’ve passed along your info (which was very specific and helpful, thank you), so hopefully we can get that figured out!

Quick update. I ran through the game several times before going to sleep and it is still experiencing the same issue. I have since figured out that once hitting the blank “thank you” screen, if I exit and close the app entirely before opening it up again, the screen will load properly and I am able to save.
So…
Rating > links > blank thank you > close app > run new instance of app > final page reloads properly
I’m unsure if this is fixable on your end and I am glad to have figured this out. It is definitely reproducible, as I said I ran through and saved 3 out of a total of 5 playthroughs while using different options.
Hope that’s helpful. If you want any screens, I’ll be happy to Google how to do it on this phone and provide them lol.

In the new HG I’m writing, The Magician’s Task, I’m going to attempt to have lots of humour and sarcasm in it. So, naturally, I’m going to read SYP again for some schooling in those areas.

Wow, I hadn’t realized this was 50k words. I had assumed it was ~ 100k. How much is HHWT, out of curiosity?
Yup. Still editing the last chapters of HHWT (and looking at a significant possible rewrite of one large section), but it is already more than twice as long as the first game. By my best guess, we may well end up ~150K total, with a player hitting approximately 85K+ per playthrough.

Hey!!! Uh, will you ever be able to romance Vex? Sounds dumb, I know, but he was just such a great character! I drew him-- though it wasn’t colored and didn’t look good, oof.
Inb4 someone flags that comment for being a year after the previous one, this is not a WIP, this is a published story. You can post feedback or questions any time.

Haha, don’t worry, it’s not dumb. You might be surprised how often we’ve been asked this. 
I’m glad he’s so popular. Sadly, he’s pretty canonically asexual and aromantic. It is possible, however, to earn his begrudging respect (and perhaps, dare I say, friendship), which given his personality is quite an accomplishment in itself.
There will be other RO besides just Sidney in the sequel, though. Hope that still gives you something to look forward to!
