a bug can occur during the viewing of the motorcycle where portraits will flicker when advancing dialogue. it starts shortly before the tone shift, about where you ask if you can sit on it.
when you tab in and out of LLRPG where the portraits flicker. eeeh, whatever. that one is less important.
I imagine it was probably a joke, but considering how much I'm enjoying the game I'm lowkey hoping all that talk about a DLC isn't a joke and actually something you'll do!
This game is really really really good, Im not good at words but it hit me in ways that snuck up to me (esp the part with the psych, I brushed it off since "pff whatever Ive been through this before" and then it just kept forcing its way into my train of thought)
Its so.. real idk how else to describe it. I wish I could beam this game into everyones brain forcefully so theyd just,, *get* it but also I feel like this game was specifically made for me.
Also shout out to the hausschlangerl (which also snuck up on me childhood style) because of you I downed like 5 kipferl in the past 2 days
Also also would you be so kind as to email me the artbook after I find a way to donate 5 bucks to you

Vom Knochenmann Geholt: CONSEQUENCES
That's all of them :3 may share a detailed walkthrough for every achievement if ppl are interested x
Meet the requirements of The Scrungly Woman, The Pale Specter and Hello Marigold! in one playthrough.
In the final dream, Marigold will speak directly to you and invite you take up her mantle.
If you accept, you will come into your full power and become the patron Saint of lesbians.
The Scrungly Woman:
On day 2, submit a decent article to the Pulp Writer(you really can just bullshit it though, as long as you're sensible).
On day 3, submit a piece of fiction to the Pulp Writer. Whether you go to Pride or not, the Pulp Writer will walk with you on day 5.
The Pale Specter:
On day 2, go to the cathedral and interact with the Sinner. Make sure you go to her flat at the end of the day.
On day 3, accompany her to the town archive.
On day 4, join her for a walk in the woods. She will join you for a walk on day 5.
The Doomer:
On day 4 you automatically accept the quest to find The Weapon's missing sheep.
During this conversation, do not tell them you're a communist or they will not fully trust you.
At some point on day 4 when you have at least two actions left, go to the woods to find Parsnip (this is more likely to succeed if you have a hammer).
When you return the sheep, accept the Weapon's offer of tea.
At the conclusion of these events, simply invite the Weapon to walk with you and they will join you the following day.
NOTE: If you have been caught stealing from them, the Weapon will never trust you enough to have you round for tea :(
There Musk Be A Better Ending Than This:
During Day 1, successfully convince Nasty Girl to flirt with the developer.
If you meet the conditions for a solitary walk on Day 5, the developer will return and the achievement will unlock.
Solitary Walk:
Either fail to submit the article on day 2 or fail to submit the fiction on day 3 to avoid the Pulp Writer joining you.
Avoid talking to the Sinner at the cathedral on day 2 or neglect to attend either of her subsequent two dates to prevent the Sinner joining you.
Either get caught stealing from The Weapon, tell them you're a communist, fail to return their sheep, decline their tea invitation or simply leave at the end of tea without inviting them to avoid having the Weapon join you.
Satisfy all three conditions in one playthrough to gain this achievement.
Piccadily Bleedin Circus:
In one playthrough, pursue the criteria for The Scrungly Woman, The Pale Specter and The Doomer, fail to pay your rent and kill or neglect The House Snake on day 4.
GENERAL
Force-femmed:
Oestrogen can be obtained through healthcare providers or the grey market.
The grey market takes the form of Lady Moonshine, who appears on Lunden Road during evenings if you have been made aware of her.
There are 4 ways to gain this information:
--Immediately after accepting the Weapon's quest on day 4, Orb may pass a difficult to check to become aware of her.
--Near the end of The Pulp Writer's interaction on day 3, they will ask what you need. If you ask for help with getting hormones, they will link you to Lady Moonshine.
--During the date at The Sinner's House on day 2, ask for the reading to be about how to get hormones. If you walk with the Sinner on the morning of day 4, they will tell you about Lady Moonshine.
--If Lady Dawnsight speaks to you, you may tell her you need hormones. She will make you aware of Lady Moonshine.
In any case, accept the Lady moonshine option in the evening when it appears. Obtain hormones from her by any means.
Make sure you take the action of injecting oestrogen at home to get the achievement.
NOTE: Obtaining hormones from the chemist is possible but much more difficult, frustrating and time consuming.
The Great Hormone Heist:
To complete this achievement, you must be prescribed hormones by the Gender NKVD and have a prescription sent to the pharmacy by the Keeper of the gates of Venus.
This can be done by following these steps:
1.Begin the "clean yourself up" task.
Successfully take a bath, change into clean clothes, apply makeup and get the gunk out of your eyes.
If you fail to complete ALL of these criteria, reload a save and attempt the task again.
2.Either attend the GIC appointment if it is still available or use the private gender clinic (you will need £40).
3.Once you've begun the Gender NKVD's interrogation, choose the following sequence of dialogue options:
-1. ("Hello."[Do a gay little wave]"I'd like some feminising hormones, please."[sit down homosexually])
-2. (idk)
-2. (25)
-2. (Yes)
-2. (No)
-1. (Yes)
-3. (No)
-1.
-1. (I don't)
-1. (Yes)
-2. (Yes)
-1.
-2. (No)
-1.
-1.
-1. ("I like sex, yes.")
-2. (bottom)
-2. (interrogation lamp)
-1. (dissociating)
-2. (most normal possible answer)
-3. (idk)
-1.
-3. (no, that cube is stationary)
This should lead to you being diagnosed as transexual and prescribed hormones (there may be other safe options, but this way definitely works).
4.You will then speak to the Keeper again to have your prescription sent.
If you fail a high Orb check at this point, you will leave without making sure she does her job and the prescription won't be sent that day.
This will necessitate two additional trips, to the chemist to find this out, and back to the clinic to make sure it is actually sent.
Alternatively, reload a save and get diagnosed again until you pass the check.
5.Once the prescription has been sent, simply go to the pharmacy the following day and steal your hormones when the option appears to gain the acheivement.
This is easy to do but you can fail so ensure you save beforehand.
Sissy FM:
Listen to the radio at the cottage.
Gaslit Gatekept Girlbossed:
Interact with the landlady on the evening of day 3 or 4 and give her rent money.
You will need to pay her £100 if the roof is not fixed, £75 if it is or £55 if you ask her what the money is spent on and then succeed on multiple easy checks to negotiate a lower rent.
Gaslight Gatekeep Girlboss:
On day 1, succeed on the Lovely Lady check to repair the vase, but then smash it.
Events will then transpire on the morning of day 3 that you may exploit for your benefit to unlock the achievement.
Millionaire:
Buy the silly sheep from the Grifter on day 2. You will need at least £1
Billionaire:
Complete millionaire then buy the bridge from the Grifter on day 3. You will need at least £1
Trillionaire:
Complete billionaire then buy the Eiffel Table from the Grifter on day 4. You will need at least £1
Unhappy Customer:
Having rescued the sheep on day 4, accept The Weapon's offer of tea.
This achievement should appear in subsequent events if you have previously bought something from the Grifter.
Pyramid Scheme:
Once you have bought something from the Grifter and the Landlady has called at the start of day 3, Nasty Girl may suggest scamming her.
To do this, go to her house and pass a series of checks to give the Landlady one of your "investments" in lieu of rent.
Hello Marigold!:
On day 2, pray to Marigold at the cathedral. Then, find her shrine in the woods and pray to it (you must say "ring ring")
On day 3, return to the shrine and pray again in the same manner.
If you're on the right track, the golden vision in your dreams that night will say something to the tune of "Today is the day. She waits by the phone. If you call she will answer."
On day 4, return to the shrine and pray again in the same manner to obtain the achievement.
The Heavens Too Cry:
Watch the comet on day 3.
Cryptid?:
Before beginning the cryptid task, purchase the red herring from the shop.
When prompted, you may leave it out as bait and the "cryptid" will appear to eat it.
Cryptid:
Take every opportunity to affirm you are "one of the Good Ones".
1.In the cathedral, look at the right window and choose the pro-Anglian response
2.While negotiating for purchase of The Eiffel Table, denounce all investors
3.At Pride, pass an Orb check to identify the incorrect Pride flag, ask to see the correct flag, then denounce transsexuals as perverts.
The Cryptid will appear and congratulate you.
Funny Face:
While fleeing the cryptid, jump into the river and let it carry you out to sea, ignoring all warnings.
Gamer:
Complete the conditions for Hello Marigold!
During your conversation with Marigold, say "I need to find some words to live by" and she will tell you a Frankish phrase.
Then, find the Weapon's sheep and accept their offer of tea.
When you play the boardgame with them, refrain from throwing a tantrum or eating more than four game pieces.
After a few turns, repeat the phrase Marigold told you to stabilise inflation and win the game.
International Finance:
On days 2 and 3, interact with the Frankfurt Pervert, asking him for financial advice.
On day 4, do the same. He will ask you why you're so concerned about money.
If you explain its for trans healthcare expenses, he will gift you some money and you will unlock the achievement.
Von Knochenmann Geholt Nicht:
Do not pay your rent. On day 4 either kill the House Snake or neglect to feed it.
On day 5, when the Boneman calls, he will be interrupted by the Landlady. Accept his offer of a reprieve to unlock the achievement.
The Seventh:
Pray at Marigold's shrine on days 2 and 3 as described in Hello Marigold!
Interact with the Sinner on days 2 and 3 like you would for The Pale Specter.
On day 4, immediately pray at Marigold's shrine and choose the magenta option when speaking with her.
Then walk in the woods with the Sinner. At the conclusion of the walk, take her to the cave to meet your fate.
The Trivia Knower:
Complete the crossword in the newspaper and hand it in at the shop to win £50 and the achievement.
If you get an answer wrong, Orb may pass a check to correct you.
The answers (and where you can find them) are as follows
-LUNDEN (frequently mentioned throughout the game)
-COMMUNISM (again, just context clues)
-DAWNSIGHT (easily learned at the cathedral windows)
-FOURTEEN (mentioned in conversation with the Sinner)
-LEAD (key ingredient of special L at the store. Also mentioned by Lovely Lady when debating whether to stay and chat to the Pulp Writer)
-COMMUNISTS (yeah)
-COMMUNIST (yeah)
-WARSAWA (conversation with The Weapon)
-MINT (learned when buying cigs at the store or if The Sinner breathes in your general direction)
-PIGEON (Learned at The War memorial)
Healthy addiction:
Buy cigarettes from the shop.
At any point where you risk freezing to death (taking a cold bath or waking up on day 5 while the roof is still broken) smoke a cigarette instead of freezing to death to gain the achievement.
Moving Forward:
When interviewing The Raven, you must call her a war hero following the question about people she'd killed so she will talk about Heidi.
A successful high Orb check during this conversation will reveal to you Heidi's fate.
If you press The Raven on this matter, she will become speechless, then angry, and ask Ghost to leave (she won't actually hurt you though).
You may publish a respectful article on her war stories without consequence.
Following this, The Raven will hug you if you attend Pride, unlocking the achievement.
Bluehills Tourist:
Fairly self explanatory. You won't be able to complete the achievement until day 4 when Pride becomes available.
Plushie Lover:
Attend pride with at least £5 so you can buy a plushie when prompted. Don't give it to The Pulp Writer (Evil Route)
Snap Snap:
While taking a bath, choose every crustacean based action.
GRUESOME FATES
Brr:
Freeze to death, either by taking a cold bath while the roof is broken or waking up on day 4 while the roof is broken.
Splat:
1.Repair the cottage roof.
2.Search for cryptids in the woods.
3.Flee the Cryptid until the third escape route appears.
4.Climb trees, jump sheep, go Splat.
Kaboom:
Look for cryptids and poke the mine until it explodes when you discover it.
This Death Sponsored By The Dandelion And Burdock And Suez Corporation:
Attend pride with a decent amount of money (£20 should do it) and keep buying and drinking Dandelion and Burdock until it kills you.
Bog Idiot:
When fleeing the cryptid, enter the thorny clearing.
When you get stuck in a bog, simply decide to die to become the Bog Idiot.
Happy Pride:
1. Visit the Raven on day 2, before writing the article.
2. Ask to see her motorcycle, then ask to interview her. Play down the war angle at first.
3. Following the option to ask her about how many people she's killed, you have the option to ask when she was most proud while on a motorbike, or describe her as a war hero. Choose the latter.
4. She will then reveal the dark reason her bike is named Heidi. Tell her the story will make a great article.
5. She will then assault and threaten you. Leave her garage and write the article about her tragic backstory anyway.
6. Submit the article to The Pulp Writer, but DO NOT return to her on day 3 with fiction. (she will save your life if she joins you at Pride)
7. Attend Pride on day 4. The Raven will find and kill you.
NOTE: there may be other ways to make The Raven homicidally upset, but this is one that works.
Plague Ridden Rat:
1.Search for cryptids. Strange bacteria will enter your bloodstream.
2.Start the religion quest at the church. While looking for the shrine in the forest, check everywhere else before the funny green rock to get Lyme disease.
Additionally, eat the moss on the shrine.
3.Buy Special L from the store and eat the entire box immediately to get lead poisoning.
4.Buy cigarettes from the store and deep-throat one to get cigarette poisoning.
5.During the quest to find The Weapon's Sheep, lick your hand after inspecting the gate to get tetanus.
Additionally, eat the "rations" before bringing the sheep back to get asbestosis.
NOTE: Having The Pulp Writer bite you will not give you Rabies and isn't essential for this achievement, but it is hot.
Scab:
While fleeing the cryptid, repeatedly circle back on yourself and charge headfirst through the beehive until the achievement is unlocked.
To Never Have Been:
Fulfil the same criteria as The Seventh and surrender to the Undreaming when prompted.
Vom Knochenmann Geholt:
Feed the House Snake at least once, then either neglect to feed it in a subsequent day or kill it.
Absurdly amazing and emotionally devastating. This game dragged me into an alley and stabbed me in the soul several times before leaving me to bleed out and stealing my wallet. I love it and heavily recommend it.
This game is extraordinary and wonderful and ough I don't even know how to put it all into words. I love this game, I feel seen by this game in a way no other ever has, it is so refreshingly and unabashedly transfem and gay and I love being able to be a pathetic bottom around wonderfully unsettling women. Thank you so much for sharing you art with the world, I can only hope the future is filled with many more games like this one!
I love this game so much. I had made an appointment for a consultation about starting HRT a few days before playing, and was on the fence about cancelling. I didn't think it would be worth the effort. Playing this game has made me far more introspective and made me understand how much I truly needed it. Thank you!
I am in love with this universe as a whole, having never heard of it until stumbling across the game. Is there more? Please tell me there's more - I love these women!! And men!! The world!! And everyone!!
Been playing this game nonstop since I got it a week ago and absolutely loving it. Just trying to get every achievement and ending (There Musk Be a Better Ending than this I WILL FIND U).
Minor question; the option to Take HRT doesn't seem to disappear once you've taken it. is that intentional? <3
Thank you so much for this game! I've been in a rut for ages now & something about the game managed to give me a kick in the ass to try and work myself out of it. the gender nkvd have no bearing on me & hot women with knives will fix me. blessed be.
This is a fantastic game and I am so glad it exists. Incredible jokes, offputting women, moonshine HRT, this game was made for me. 10/10 no notes. I'm guessing this is an unintended side effect as well but after becoming obsessed with this game for a couple weeks I'm actually learning how to manage my time better with ADHD, the action system is a really good analogue for how spoons work, so uh, thanks for genuinely improving my life with this silly game! :3
UNSURE IF ITCH LETS YOU DO THAT. IF YOU WANT I CAN EMAIL YOU A COPY OR DM ME ON TWITTER @POPPY_ZONE OR MAYBE MIA ON TUMBLER or LET ME KNOW YOUR INVOICE ID ON YOUR PAYPAL RECEIPT
Hi hi! I just bought the game and unfortunately something about my system rubs Narrat the wrong way as the game cannot make it past the initial loading screen, either hanging on an incomplete render of your splash screen or giving me a completely white screen. Is there something I can do to make the game work? I’m on version 6 and am running the game on Windows 10.
EDIT: The fix was to lower the output frequency of my sound card to a maximum of 192000Hz!
Did you unzip it etc? You didn't set your OS to case sensitive or anything? I'll have to talk to the narrat dev sad to say, I've not heard of the engine doing this before...
Did nothing at all, all I did was extract the game from its archive and immediately run the executable lovely-lady-rpg.exe. Let me know if there’s something I can do to help! I can pass you my Discord or Bluesky or Twitter, what have you.
Try joining the narrat discord, you might be able to get some info there if you ask!!! Unfortunately I'm only a lowly user of the engine, but I and the dev may be able to help you there! https://discord.gg/f9WJwzQa
Thanks so much for this game, I haven't really been able to get it out of my head since I've beaten it.
It's really really nice to have a game that's just so unabashedly gay, as funny as that sounds. All the dialogue is written in that queer subculture slang and it just hits. There's so much exclusively queer love (I love my scrungly Frank) and the characters feel so fleshed out. I don't typically get to experience those things in videogames in ways that don't feel off-putting and corporate. You're just cool people and you've made a piece of art.
i found out about this because of twitter controversy, so i'd like to thank all the very nice bigots who let me know about the trans communist lesbian rat game
BAD NEWS FOR YOU ABOUT HOW MUCH COMMUNISM IS ACTUALLY IN THIS ONE SORRY (BASICALLY NONE ONLY ONE CHARACTER IS ACTUALLY A COMMUNIST DESPITE WHAT TWITTER MAY HAVE TOLD YOU) SORRY AGAIN
I haven't played the game yet but I am spite-purchasing it because I'm a filthy commie and I do the opposite of what Twitter trash wants :) (that and I am here for a [seemingly] queer, trans, furry game at literally any time, please take my money and know that I would have bought the game either way <3)
I will update with my (incoherent screeching) thoughts after I have had a chance to play :)
Really disappointed by a piece of casual ableism I saw in a screenshot, can you confirm whether it's played straight or commented on?
The "I got kicked in the head by a sheep when I was a baby" line is really demeaning and insulting to people with brain injuries. I know it's supposed to be a joke, since they're saying they're not communist because of it, but it feels in incredibly poor taste to use a neurological injury beyond someone's help for a throwaway joke.
I'd be happier if this was put in the Content Warnings, or possibly revised, because as of writing it feels unjust to play a game which treats disabilities as a punchline.
THE MAIN CHARACTER IS AN AMALGAMATION OF PHRASES SHES PICKED UP FROM NOT GETTING OUTSIDE ENOUGH. SHE DOESNT REALLY THINK THROUGH WHAT SHE SAYS, MUDDLING HER WAY THROUGH LIFE, TRYING TO SAY THINGS SHE THINKS PEOPLE WILL LIKE, OFTEN UNSUCCESSFUL SINCE SHE HAS LITTLE CONCEPT OF BEING RESPECTFUL TO OTHERS. SHE DOES HER BEST, BUT SHE, LIKE YOU AND ME, IS FULL OF IMPERFECTIONS. ITS HER NURTURE, SAD TO SAY. CHARACTERS IN THIS GAME ARE WRITTEN OFTEN TO BE ABRASIVE TO ONE ANOTHER, I SUSPECT IF YOU DISLIKE THAT SORT OF THING YOU WONT ENJOY IT, SORRY.
No, that's actually good. I'm not the kind of person who thinks "if a character display *any* problematic behaviour, that means the game is too". I was just trying to see if the ableism is used as comedy or, like you've said in your comment, as a reflection of her character. Abrasive, imperfect characters are good, I just wanted to make sure the game wasn't permitting or condoning ableist behaviour. When my paycheck next comes in, I'll be more than happy to buy this game!

Are the different platform versions the same? The download page shows different numbers for Windows, macOS and Linux. I just want to play via SteamOS.
EDIT: Weirdly, the Linux version opens in Desktop Mode, but not Gaming Mode and the Windows version runs a bit weird through Proton.
they're the same :)
this game made me a chain-smoking communist. (i was already a rat.)
This game made me find out lead was a tasty treat. I didn't know what I was missing. 10/10!
YUM
Is it a bug that spacebar does not merely advance the text, but will also choose option 1 if possible?
I have issues double clicking, and accidentaly choosing, but now neither spacebar nor mouse will save me.
Thats how the narrat engine works, as far as i know there isn't a way to change it!
Where can I report bugs (and spelling mistakes)?
"and covert[sic] your coins to gold bars"
'Well. That was a very honest segway[sic], I'll give you that'
'The segway[sic] seems to stun lock .....'
FEEL FREE TO HERE BUT I MAY HAVE FIXED THEM ALREADY IN UPCOMING PATCH
GOOD WORK AND GODSPEED
a bug can occur
during the viewing of the motorcycle where portraits will flicker when advancing dialogue. it starts shortly before the tone shift, about where you ask if you can sit on it.
when you tab in and out of LLRPG where the portraits flicker. eeeh, whatever. that one is less important.'war is hel[sic]' ?
Thats correct, if you see anyone say hell though... thats wrong!
I am learning so much and yet so little from playing this game. It's been a wonderful experience.
'one of her hans[sic] grasps a bottle'
'A perculiar[sic] guy appears to be lurking under The Old Iron Bridge...'
Barely 1h into it and I laughed, felt yearning, distress, almost cried. I love it.
GENAU
as a uk tgirl it hurts real good <3 thank you
NP
this game changed my life, thank you
SUPER
I imagine it was probably a joke, but considering how much I'm enjoying the game I'm lowkey hoping all that talk about a DLC isn't a joke and actually something you'll do!
UH
Releasing later today
This game is really really really good, Im not good at words but it hit me in ways that snuck up to me (esp the part with the psych, I brushed it off since "pff whatever Ive been through this before" and then it just kept forcing its way into my train of thought)
Its so.. real idk how else to describe it. I wish I could beam this game into everyones brain forcefully so theyd just,, *get* it but also I feel like this game was specifically made for me.

DW ABOUT THE DONATION, IF U INSIST, SPEND IT ON ANOTHER DEVS GAME AND GIVE THEIR WORK A SHOT! HAPPY TO EMAIL U A COPY IF U LET ME KNOW WHERE
EDIT: DONE
Absolutely loved this game. It gives you so many silly dialogue options. This game was made for me. I'd absolutely love to see more of this.
MAYBE ONE DAY

HAPPY TO EMAIL YOU A COPY

Meet the requirements of The Scrungly Woman, The Pale Specter and Hello Marigold! in one playthrough.
In the final dream, Marigold will speak directly to you and invite you take up her mantle.
If you accept, you will come into your full power and become the patron Saint of lesbians.
The Scrungly Woman:
On day 2, submit a decent article to the Pulp Writer(you really can just bullshit it though, as long as you're sensible).
On day 3, submit a piece of fiction to the Pulp Writer. Whether you go to Pride or not, the Pulp Writer will walk with you on day 5.
The Pale Specter:
On day 2, go to the cathedral and interact with the Sinner. Make sure you go to her flat at the end of the day.
On day 3, accompany her to the town archive.
On day 4, join her for a walk in the woods. She will join you for a walk on day 5.
The Doomer:
On day 4 you automatically accept the quest to find The Weapon's missing sheep.
During this conversation, do not tell them you're a communist or they will not fully trust you.
At some point on day 4 when you have at least two actions left, go to the woods to find Parsnip (this is more likely to succeed if you have a hammer).
When you return the sheep, accept the Weapon's offer of tea.
At the conclusion of these events, simply invite the Weapon to walk with you and they will join you the following day.
NOTE: If you have been caught stealing from them, the Weapon will never trust you enough to have you round for tea :(
There Musk Be A Better Ending Than This:
During Day 1, successfully convince Nasty Girl to flirt with the developer.
If you meet the conditions for a solitary walk on Day 5, the developer will return and the achievement will unlock.
Solitary Walk:
Either fail to submit the article on day 2 or fail to submit the fiction on day 3 to avoid the Pulp Writer joining you.
Avoid talking to the Sinner at the cathedral on day 2 or neglect to attend either of her subsequent two dates to prevent the Sinner joining you.
Either get caught stealing from The Weapon, tell them you're a communist, fail to return their sheep, decline their tea invitation or simply leave at the end of tea without inviting them to avoid having the Weapon join you.
Satisfy all three conditions in one playthrough to gain this achievement.
Piccadily Bleedin Circus:
In one playthrough, pursue the criteria for The Scrungly Woman, The Pale Specter and The Doomer, fail to pay your rent and kill or neglect The House Snake on day 4.
GENERAL
Force-femmed:
Oestrogen can be obtained through healthcare providers or the grey market.
The grey market takes the form of Lady Moonshine, who appears on Lunden Road during evenings if you have been made aware of her.
There are 4 ways to gain this information:
--Immediately after accepting the Weapon's quest on day 4, Orb may pass a difficult to check to become aware of her.
--Near the end of The Pulp Writer's interaction on day 3, they will ask what you need. If you ask for help with getting hormones, they will link you to Lady Moonshine.
--During the date at The Sinner's House on day 2, ask for the reading to be about how to get hormones. If you walk with the Sinner on the morning of day 4, they will tell you about Lady Moonshine.
--If Lady Dawnsight speaks to you, you may tell her you need hormones. She will make you aware of Lady Moonshine.
In any case, accept the Lady moonshine option in the evening when it appears. Obtain hormones from her by any means.
Make sure you take the action of injecting oestrogen at home to get the achievement.
NOTE: Obtaining hormones from the chemist is possible but much more difficult, frustrating and time consuming.
The Great Hormone Heist:
To complete this achievement, you must be prescribed hormones by the Gender NKVD and have a prescription sent to the pharmacy by the Keeper of the gates of Venus.
This can be done by following these steps:
1.Begin the "clean yourself up" task.
Successfully take a bath, change into clean clothes, apply makeup and get the gunk out of your eyes.
If you fail to complete ALL of these criteria, reload a save and attempt the task again.
2.Either attend the GIC appointment if it is still available or use the private gender clinic (you will need £40).
3.Once you've begun the Gender NKVD's interrogation, choose the following sequence of dialogue options:
-1. ("Hello."[Do a gay little wave]"I'd like some feminising hormones, please."[sit down homosexually])
-2. (idk)
-2. (25)
-2. (Yes)
-2. (No)
-1. (Yes)
-3. (No)
-1.
-1. (I don't)
-1. (Yes)
-2. (Yes)
-1.
-2. (No)
-1.
-1.
-1. ("I like sex, yes.")
-2. (bottom)
-2. (interrogation lamp)
-1. (dissociating)
-2. (most normal possible answer)
-3. (idk)
-1.
-3. (no, that cube is stationary)
This should lead to you being diagnosed as transexual and prescribed hormones (there may be other safe options, but this way definitely works).
4.You will then speak to the Keeper again to have your prescription sent.
If you fail a high Orb check at this point, you will leave without making sure she does her job and the prescription won't be sent that day.
This will necessitate two additional trips, to the chemist to find this out, and back to the clinic to make sure it is actually sent.
Alternatively, reload a save and get diagnosed again until you pass the check.
5.Once the prescription has been sent, simply go to the pharmacy the following day and steal your hormones when the option appears to gain the acheivement.
This is easy to do but you can fail so ensure you save beforehand.
Sissy FM:
Listen to the radio at the cottage.
Gaslit Gatekept Girlbossed:
Interact with the landlady on the evening of day 3 or 4 and give her rent money.
You will need to pay her £100 if the roof is not fixed, £75 if it is or £55 if you ask her what the money is spent on and then succeed on multiple easy checks to negotiate a lower rent.
Gaslight Gatekeep Girlboss:
On day 1, succeed on the Lovely Lady check to repair the vase, but then smash it.
Events will then transpire on the morning of day 3 that you may exploit for your benefit to unlock the achievement.
Millionaire:
Buy the silly sheep from the Grifter on day 2. You will need at least £1
Billionaire:
Complete millionaire then buy the bridge from the Grifter on day 3. You will need at least £1
Trillionaire:
Complete billionaire then buy the Eiffel Table from the Grifter on day 4. You will need at least £1
Unhappy Customer:
Having rescued the sheep on day 4, accept The Weapon's offer of tea.
This achievement should appear in subsequent events if you have previously bought something from the Grifter.
Pyramid Scheme:
Once you have bought something from the Grifter and the Landlady has called at the start of day 3, Nasty Girl may suggest scamming her.
To do this, go to her house and pass a series of checks to give the Landlady one of your "investments" in lieu of rent.
Hello Marigold!:
On day 2, pray to Marigold at the cathedral. Then, find her shrine in the woods and pray to it (you must say "ring ring")
On day 3, return to the shrine and pray again in the same manner.
If you're on the right track, the golden vision in your dreams that night will say something to the tune of "Today is the day. She waits by the phone. If you call she will answer."
On day 4, return to the shrine and pray again in the same manner to obtain the achievement.
The Heavens Too Cry:
Watch the comet on day 3.
Cryptid?:
Before beginning the cryptid task, purchase the red herring from the shop.
When prompted, you may leave it out as bait and the "cryptid" will appear to eat it.
Cryptid:
Take every opportunity to affirm you are "one of the Good Ones".
1.In the cathedral, look at the right window and choose the pro-Anglian response
2.While negotiating for purchase of The Eiffel Table, denounce all investors
3.At Pride, pass an Orb check to identify the incorrect Pride flag, ask to see the correct flag, then denounce transsexuals as perverts.
The Cryptid will appear and congratulate you.
Funny Face:
While fleeing the cryptid, jump into the river and let it carry you out to sea, ignoring all warnings.
Gamer:
Complete the conditions for Hello Marigold!
During your conversation with Marigold, say "I need to find some words to live by" and she will tell you a Frankish phrase.
Then, find the Weapon's sheep and accept their offer of tea.
When you play the boardgame with them, refrain from throwing a tantrum or eating more than four game pieces.
After a few turns, repeat the phrase Marigold told you to stabilise inflation and win the game.
International Finance:
On days 2 and 3, interact with the Frankfurt Pervert, asking him for financial advice.
On day 4, do the same. He will ask you why you're so concerned about money.
If you explain its for trans healthcare expenses, he will gift you some money and you will unlock the achievement.
Von Knochenmann Geholt Nicht:
Do not pay your rent. On day 4 either kill the House Snake or neglect to feed it.
On day 5, when the Boneman calls, he will be interrupted by the Landlady. Accept his offer of a reprieve to unlock the achievement.
The Seventh:
Pray at Marigold's shrine on days 2 and 3 as described in Hello Marigold!
Interact with the Sinner on days 2 and 3 like you would for The Pale Specter.
On day 4, immediately pray at Marigold's shrine and choose the magenta option when speaking with her.
Then walk in the woods with the Sinner. At the conclusion of the walk, take her to the cave to meet your fate.
The Trivia Knower:
Complete the crossword in the newspaper and hand it in at the shop to win £50 and the achievement.
If you get an answer wrong, Orb may pass a check to correct you.
The answers (and where you can find them) are as follows
-LUNDEN (frequently mentioned throughout the game)
-COMMUNISM (again, just context clues)
-DAWNSIGHT (easily learned at the cathedral windows)
-FOURTEEN (mentioned in conversation with the Sinner)
-LEAD (key ingredient of special L at the store. Also mentioned by Lovely Lady when debating whether to stay and chat to the Pulp Writer)
-COMMUNISTS (yeah)
-COMMUNIST (yeah)
-WARSAWA (conversation with The Weapon)
-MINT (learned when buying cigs at the store or if The Sinner breathes in your general direction)
-PIGEON (Learned at The War memorial)
Healthy addiction:
Buy cigarettes from the shop.
At any point where you risk freezing to death (taking a cold bath or waking up on day 5 while the roof is still broken) smoke a cigarette instead of freezing to death to gain the achievement.
Moving Forward:
When interviewing The Raven, you must call her a war hero following the question about people she'd killed so she will talk about Heidi.
A successful high Orb check during this conversation will reveal to you Heidi's fate.
If you press The Raven on this matter, she will become speechless, then angry, and ask Ghost to leave (she won't actually hurt you though).
You may publish a respectful article on her war stories without consequence.
Following this, The Raven will hug you if you attend Pride, unlocking the achievement.
Bluehills Tourist:
Fairly self explanatory. You won't be able to complete the achievement until day 4 when Pride becomes available.
Plushie Lover:
Attend pride with at least £5 so you can buy a plushie when prompted. Don't give it to The Pulp Writer (Evil Route)
Snap Snap:
While taking a bath, choose every crustacean based action.
GRUESOME FATES
Brr:
Freeze to death, either by taking a cold bath while the roof is broken or waking up on day 4 while the roof is broken.
Splat:
1.Repair the cottage roof.
2.Search for cryptids in the woods.
3.Flee the Cryptid until the third escape route appears.
4.Climb trees, jump sheep, go Splat.
Kaboom:
Look for cryptids and poke the mine until it explodes when you discover it.
This Death Sponsored By The Dandelion And Burdock And Suez Corporation:
Attend pride with a decent amount of money (£20 should do it) and keep buying and drinking Dandelion and Burdock until it kills you.
Bog Idiot:
When fleeing the cryptid, enter the thorny clearing.
When you get stuck in a bog, simply decide to die to become the Bog Idiot.
Happy Pride:
1. Visit the Raven on day 2, before writing the article.
2. Ask to see her motorcycle, then ask to interview her. Play down the war angle at first.
3. Following the option to ask her about how many people she's killed, you have the option to ask when she was most proud while on a motorbike, or describe her as a war hero. Choose the latter.
4. She will then reveal the dark reason her bike is named Heidi. Tell her the story will make a great article.
5. She will then assault and threaten you. Leave her garage and write the article about her tragic backstory anyway.
6. Submit the article to The Pulp Writer, but DO NOT return to her on day 3 with fiction. (she will save your life if she joins you at Pride)
7. Attend Pride on day 4. The Raven will find and kill you.
NOTE: there may be other ways to make The Raven homicidally upset, but this is one that works.
Plague Ridden Rat:
1.Search for cryptids. Strange bacteria will enter your bloodstream.
2.Start the religion quest at the church. While looking for the shrine in the forest, check everywhere else before the funny green rock to get Lyme disease.
Additionally, eat the moss on the shrine.
3.Buy Special L from the store and eat the entire box immediately to get lead poisoning.
4.Buy cigarettes from the store and deep-throat one to get cigarette poisoning.
5.During the quest to find The Weapon's Sheep, lick your hand after inspecting the gate to get tetanus.
Additionally, eat the "rations" before bringing the sheep back to get asbestosis.
NOTE: Having The Pulp Writer bite you will not give you Rabies and isn't essential for this achievement, but it is hot.
Scab:
While fleeing the cryptid, repeatedly circle back on yourself and charge headfirst through the beehive until the achievement is unlocked.
To Never Have Been:
Fulfil the same criteria as The Seventh and surrender to the Undreaming when prompted.
Vom Knochenmann Geholt:
Feed the House Snake at least once, then either neglect to feed it in a subsequent day or kill it.
Alternatively, kill it on your first encounter.
wowow! extremely helpful, thank you for your efforts :] now I can finally 100% the game
You're welcome, I had a lot of fun making it :)
THANK YOU SO FUCKING MUCH
Absurdly amazing and emotionally devastating. This game dragged me into an alley and stabbed me in the soul several times before leaving me to bleed out and stealing my wallet. I love it and heavily recommend it.
Heh heh mine now
GET OWNED
This game is extraordinary and wonderful and ough I don't even know how to put it all into words. I love this game, I feel seen by this game in a way no other ever has, it is so refreshingly and unabashedly transfem and gay and I love being able to be a pathetic bottom around wonderfully unsettling women. Thank you so much for sharing you art with the world, I can only hope the future is filled with many more games like this one!
YA
Sleepy game dev, I got all ur wonderful achievements and I made a list of hints 2 help other ppl struggling with them. Do you mind if I post it here?
SPOILER TAG THEM MAYBE BUT YAH SURE IF YOI WANT
YOU SHOULD PUT IT ON GAMEFAQ WITH SOME ASCII ART 'OLD STYLE'
Awesome I will try to do that :)
Update: I have submitted data for the game (which is requisite to making a guide). Once that gets approved I'll be able to add the guide
Update: Rejected. They said the game data I submitted didn't meet the requirements for addition :(
This game is beautiful and will stay with me for a very long time. Thank you for making and sharing it, playing it was a wonderful gift.
NO PROBLEM
This game turned me into a rat. I like it.
YEAH THATLL HAPPEN
I love this game so much. I had made an appointment for a consultation about starting HRT a few days before playing, and was on the fence about cancelling. I didn't think it would be worth the effort. Playing this game has made me far more introspective and made me understand how much I truly needed it. Thank you!
I am in love with this universe as a whole, having never heard of it until stumbling across the game. Is there more? Please tell me there's more - I love these women!! And men!! The world!! And everyone!!
CHEK IT OUT: https://itch.io/c/449424/the-lovely-ladyverse
Come my paycheck I will be purchasing/downloading all of these and tipping as best I can, thank you!
This is sweet - good luck with the consultation!
YOOOOOOOOO I LOVE THIS UNIVERSE
i cannot stinkin' wait to get into this, purchasing postehaste thank you for everything
prodding around in the files and found the melon man himself. horrifying. I literally gasped.
OK, YOU NEED TO LEAVE
VISCERAL FEAR.
I MUST KNOW IF ARBEITER UND WIRTSCHAFT: ZWEITE AUFLAGE IS ACTUALLY WINNABLE OR I AM GOING TO SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE TRYING TO BEAT IT!!!!
WITH DIVINE GUIDANCE, SOME WORDS TO LIVE BY, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE
If I have the drive, I'm taking this game apart to check.
edit: you can win. figure it out yourself.
I teared up when I got to the end. I've no explanation as to why. It was good. Thank you!
SAD TO HEAR THAT OR GLAD THAT HAPPENED
Been playing this game nonstop since I got it a week ago and absolutely loving it. Just trying to get every achievement and ending (There Musk Be a Better Ending than this I WILL FIND U).
Minor question; the option to Take HRT doesn't seem to disappear once you've taken it. is that intentional? <3
NEITHER INTENDED NOR UNINTENDED. I'LL SEE IF IT WOULD CAUSE ANY ISSUES IF REMOVED.
WOULD YOU LIKE A HINT FOR MUSK ACHIEVEMENT
yas pls :3
Edit: YAY I found it nvm :)))
EPIC
I literally just realised this is by the same people who made ttotgs holy hell. Playing this as soon as im not broke ya'll always make bangers
CORRECTION: ITS BY ONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO MADE THAT.
My mistake, thank you for showing me the error of my ways.
NO PROBLEM
Thank you so much for this game! I've been in a rut for ages now & something about the game managed to give me a kick in the ass to try and work myself out of it. the gender nkvd have no bearing on me & hot women with knives will fix me. blessed be.
SWEET
I did a little dig into the files to see what exact answers are the way to get HRT and you are truly doing it like noone else. No further notes.
Although my gender NKVD officer would never believe me when I said "I don't".
Also sorry this is like my third comment. I think about this game a lot.
GLAD SOMEONE HAS THE CURIOSITY TO CRACK OPEN THE CODE. APOLOGIES FOR HOW MESSY IT IS.
This is a fantastic game and I am so glad it exists. Incredible jokes, offputting women, moonshine HRT, this game was made for me. 10/10 no notes. I'm guessing this is an unintended side effect as well but after becoming obsessed with this game for a couple weeks I'm actually learning how to manage my time better with ADHD, the action system is a really good analogue for how spoons work, so uh, thanks for genuinely improving my life with this silly game! :3
THIS IS AN EDUCATIONAL GAME SURE
Hi is there any way to upgrade or pay 3 more dollars to get the artbook I really enjoyed the games art but that was after I bought and played the game
UNSURE IF ITCH LETS YOU DO THAT. IF YOU WANT I CAN EMAIL YOU A COPY OR DM ME ON TWITTER @POPPY_ZONE OR MAYBE MIA ON TUMBLER or LET ME KNOW YOUR INVOICE ID ON YOUR PAYPAL RECEIPT
Thank you!
Hi hi! I just bought the game and unfortunately something about my system rubs Narrat the wrong way as the game cannot make it past the initial loading screen, either hanging on an incomplete render of your splash screen or giving me a completely white screen. Is there something I can do to make the game work? I’m on version 6 and am running the game on Windows 10.
EDIT: The fix was to lower the output frequency of my sound card to a maximum of 192000Hz!
Did you unzip it etc? You didn't set your OS to case sensitive or anything? I'll have to talk to the narrat dev sad to say, I've not heard of the engine doing this before...
Did nothing at all, all I did was extract the game from its archive and immediately run the executable
lovely-lady-rpg.exe. Let me know if there’s something I can do to help! I can pass you my Discord or Bluesky or Twitter, what have you.Try joining the narrat discord, you might be able to get some info there if you ask!!! Unfortunately I'm only a lowly user of the engine, but I and the dev may be able to help you there! https://discord.gg/f9WJwzQa
Will do!
Best of luck sorting this out- sorry about the tech issue!
Already been sorted, don’t worry Mia, all I had to do was lower the output frequency of my sound card to 192000Hz!
TECHNOLOGY IS SO AMAZING
helloo, i cant seem to purchase the game through Paypal. is it regional:( I really want to play it.
IT'S PEAM
IT'S PEAM
I had a lot of fun with this, it was a joy to play. Got the loneliest ending but I wanna try again. Thank you for making this :3
I DONT KNOW WHAT PEAM MEANS BUT THANK YOU
bro this game has baneposting in 2024 it FUCKS
I WASN'T SURE I COULD 'PULL IT OFF'. I WAS WORRIED I MIGHT 'DIE'
Thanks so much for this game, I haven't really been able to get it out of my head since I've beaten it.
It's really really nice to have a game that's just so unabashedly gay, as funny as that sounds. All the dialogue is written in that queer subculture slang and it just hits. There's so much exclusively queer love (I love my scrungly Frank) and the characters feel so fleshed out. I don't typically get to experience those things in videogames in ways that don't feel off-putting and corporate. You're just cool people and you've made a piece of art.
Thanks a lot, you've touched my heart.
<3
WUNDERBAR
Very sweet review, thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
EXCELLENT ARTWORK
Wauw
Ignore the twitter discourse, this game is peak. The art and writing are amazing and it's got cute women in it. Go play it dummy
I DONT LOOK AT TWITTER DISCOURSE. I PREFER TO TALK TO FRIENDS, GO OUTSIDE ETC
i found out about this because of twitter controversy, so i'd like to thank all the very nice bigots who let me know about the trans communist lesbian rat game
BAD NEWS FOR YOU ABOUT HOW MUCH COMMUNISM IS ACTUALLY IN THIS ONE SORRY (BASICALLY NONE ONLY ONE CHARACTER IS ACTUALLY A COMMUNIST DESPITE WHAT TWITTER MAY HAVE TOLD YOU) SORRY AGAIN
I haven't played the game yet but I am spite-purchasing it because I'm a filthy commie and I do the opposite of what Twitter trash wants :) (that and I am here for a [seemingly] queer, trans, furry game at literally any time, please take my money and know that I would have bought the game either way <3)
I will update with my (incoherent screeching) thoughts after I have had a chance to play :)
Y'all want a Steam release for the sale price. I want a Steam release because I want the achievements.
Just so you know - the game does track achievements internally! There are a lot of different ones for endings, secrets, special deaths etc.
STEAM ACHIEVEMENTS AREN'T REAL. THEYRE PAPER CROWNS CUT BY GABE NEWELL, WHO WEARS A CROWN OF GOLD AND PEARL.
I was already thinking of picking this game up but I think you just sold me on it based on this comment alone. Bravo.
Really disappointed by a piece of casual ableism I saw in a screenshot, can you confirm whether it's played straight or commented on?
The "I got kicked in the head by a sheep when I was a baby" line is really demeaning and insulting to people with brain injuries. I know it's supposed to be a joke, since they're saying they're not communist because of it, but it feels in incredibly poor taste to use a neurological injury beyond someone's help for a throwaway joke.
I'd be happier if this was put in the Content Warnings, or possibly revised, because as of writing it feels unjust to play a game which treats disabilities as a punchline.
why are you out here discoursing about a game you haven't even played because you saw something out-of-context on twitter. get a life lol.
I just want to make sure the game I'm playing isn't ableist. What's the full context of it?
THE MAIN CHARACTER IS AN AMALGAMATION OF PHRASES SHES PICKED UP FROM NOT GETTING OUTSIDE ENOUGH. SHE DOESNT REALLY THINK THROUGH WHAT SHE SAYS, MUDDLING HER WAY THROUGH LIFE, TRYING TO SAY THINGS SHE THINKS PEOPLE WILL LIKE, OFTEN UNSUCCESSFUL SINCE SHE HAS LITTLE CONCEPT OF BEING RESPECTFUL TO OTHERS. SHE DOES HER BEST, BUT SHE, LIKE YOU AND ME, IS FULL OF IMPERFECTIONS. ITS HER NURTURE, SAD TO SAY. CHARACTERS IN THIS GAME ARE WRITTEN OFTEN TO BE ABRASIVE TO ONE ANOTHER, I SUSPECT IF YOU DISLIKE THAT SORT OF THING YOU WONT ENJOY IT, SORRY.
No, that's actually good. I'm not the kind of person who thinks "if a character display *any* problematic behaviour, that means the game is too". I was just trying to see if the ableism is used as comedy or, like you've said in your comment, as a reflection of her character. Abrasive, imperfect characters are good, I just wanted to make sure the game wasn't permitting or condoning ableist behaviour. When my paycheck next comes in, I'll be more than happy to buy this game!
EPIC
