This game is awesome, but for Android it's a little hard to interact with things, mainly entering doors in a panic. Will you add an interact or maybe enter door button in later editions?
Man i can't run away like the Android controls don't work like the pc version is to press "v" to "give up" i can only decrease the red bar but i can't escape
I don't get it. I'm immediately caught by the first enemy. Can't hide. Can't break free. Can't do a damn thing. Pressing space does nothing. The game needs to do a better job on instructing the player of WTF to do.
----
Edit: My bad on skimming past the FAQ. Though if getting past the first enemy is a Frequently Asked Question, there might be room for tweaking some things. My thought is that it's not great to explain various mechanics but then put the player up against a first enemy who is completely resistant to those mechanics. Without changing much, maybe just adding the text "Run!" a moment before that enemy shows up would reinforce the intent there.
I really have no idea why people just not try to run after hiding doesn't work. IMO and I really don't mean to be rude or anything, but I think people who get stuck here are just not even trying to get through. I think they just try the same thing over and over again and then just give up because that obviously doesn't work. And by your reasoning, there are much more people who get through this part than those, who do not. I understand what you are saying, but this part is there to show the player that they are just prey and they should always try to run if they can. And no, I don't agree that if something is frequently asked then it must be changed.
i found the issue. for whatever reason, trying to download drain mansion on windows in the itch.io app flat out doesn't work. you have to go to the itch.io website, download it there, extract, and then it has the executable in it.
Hey there! I really enjoyed the game, but I just wanted to ask about if the performance issues will be or have been fixed for the public builds. I'm running the game on Android on a Samsung Note 9, and within 20 minutes, my FPS drops to 20, my battery is drained, and my phone is unbearably hot. Thanks again for the experience though! Good work.
That's strange, I have tried this game on weaker phones than yours and it was fine. Yeah in 1.1.2 I made some android specific optimizations and in 1.1.3 I made a low-performance mode, that turns off 2D lights, particle effects, and post-processing on the camera.
What phone you have? Mine is high end and it has no problems with it. Also, Patreon version has a low-performance mode which helps with that but ofc it turns off effects.
Sorry I thought it's high end but my phone is an upper-mid ranged performance which is oppo reno3 pro with a Helio P95 processor and 8gb of RAM. I'll consider joining your patreon <3
Oh Thx, I didn't notice that the second rope triggerred the pressure plate and was very confused for a moent. Thx for the help, and i really enjoy the game, waiting for the new updates
First, make sure you are using the latest (V1.1) version. Then the third tablet will be behind the third door from the left where the red succubus is imprisoned. Each door there has 1 tablet.
BRUH i cant figure out the middle doors final trap room after the rope chase can someone tell me how to get the tablet and get out without getting trapped
I'm having a problem with the controls, I can't interact with anything (ex. Doors) I even tried the gallery and nothing seems to work, I'm using android btw.
Tengo un problema y es que es complicado usar el botón de escape ya que es el mismo del joystick, esto hace que no me pueda pasar el primer nivel ( versión Android)
How do you get through the god damn door at the end of the hallway (very first thing you have to do) when the red bitch is coming at you like a goddamn freight train, I'm playing on android and the joystick controls are very slow in response which I know has already been pointed already. The red lady is so fast and I know the doors at the very end of the hallway but when I try to go through it she's already caught up to me. I really want to enjoy this game but it's not easy when the very first enemy is impossible to get away from
Do you get good framerates? At this point, I'm starting to suggest that I made something not framerate independent, as I just can't imagine how ppl are having trouble there.
I don't want to promise anything, but I'll try to look into it. I first have to test how much would turning off lighting effects would help, because that's pretty much all I can do. Sadly your phone is very weak on the performance side.
Yes, the saves are backward compatible. Just copy the gamesave.save file from the old build's DrainMansion_Data to the new build's DrainMansion_Data folder.
If that happens you have to first uninstall the game, then reinstall it. But beware, this WILL delete your save file. I'd recommend you to back it up first. It's in Android/data/com.Kredyn.DrainMansion/files on the internal storage of your phone. Then after you installed it, put the save file back. It is backward compatible.
When you have installed both you only need to click on the game in the download list (or in the folder in which you have saved it) and then on the folder with the name of the game you should look for the type "application" and this simply just start
On Mac I practically bash my fingers pressing both enter and space but I still get only about 70% on the escape bar. Is it a bug or am I just slow with key mashing?
On the android version there is no tutorial on how to escape the girls fast enough, like i tap like there is no tomorrow but still cant get her past 90% or so. Fix please? Also, can you fix the button for escaping? Thank you
well in the android version the button barely responds for me. Im talking about the red haired girl who looks like she's wearing a swimsuit on the first level
Hey. The android version does have lag problems here, which I will have to fix in the future. For now, I suggest you to skip it. I'll give you a save after this escape ok?

I can't control it on Android to save my life
This game is awesome, but for Android it's a little hard to interact with things, mainly entering doors in a panic. Will you add an interact or maybe enter door button in later editions?
Yes, in the next build there is a separate interact button.
IM STUCK! I do the start bit to the bedroom, then what? I can go down to the left and get a red book, but that's it, what do I do?
Since I'm not sure what you did already, I'm just gonna link a guide that was made for the game:
Man i can't run away like the Android controls don't work like the pc version is to press "v" to "give up" i can only decrease the red bar but i can't escape
What do i need to do to download this no android
Download, unzip, install apk on phone.
alguien que me ayuden no se cómo descomprimir el archivo
POS descarga RAR, para descomprimir el juego
ugh I hate my computer, it won't let me any of the games I download -_-
I don't get it. I'm immediately caught by the first enemy. Can't hide. Can't break free. Can't do a damn thing. Pressing space does nothing. The game needs to do a better job on instructing the player of WTF to do.

Let me help you. If getting caught by her and hiding doesn't work, maybe don't do those things? There is also an FAQ on itch.
Dumbass

Check the FAQ dumbass

what do i need to download to play this on android?
I don't quite understand the question. You download the .apk file, transfer it to your phone and install it there.
The file is a zip file not a APK so andriod does not recognize it
Well you need to unzip it. If you don't know how to Google it.
The game is interesting but a dedicated button to open doors on android is needed, the up function is difficult to use.
whenever i try installing it just tries to install and then completely gives up.
aka, it won't install and i don't know why
i checked my folders, it appears it just downloads the drain mansion folder, then one labeled ".itch" and nothing else is downloaded.
Please read the FAQ.
i found the issue. for whatever reason, trying to download drain mansion on windows in the itch.io app flat out doesn't work. you have to go to the itch.io website, download it there, extract, and then it has the executable in it.
Ohh sorry, I have never used the itch app, so I didn't know.
it's fine, a lot of people probably don't use it, but for ones who do, it'd be a good heads up to read this.
What do i need to do to play this. I already downloaded i

Então eu quero saber com qual aplicativo eu posso executar o jogo eu não faço ideia qual aplicativo eu uso no Android?
My phone heats up in the long run eventhough it has high end performance, hope it gets optimized, great game btw keep it up :)
What phone you have? Mine is high end and it has no problems with it. Also, Patreon version has a low-performance mode which helps with that but ofc it turns off effects.

What do you do after getting the red door key in the area after you get out of the dungeon?
u should go back to the corridor of the first girl, there should be a red door near the middle left
ps. u might want to save ur progress back in the beginning save point, trust me, u need it
I'm talking about the area with the sleep traps and grandfather clocks.
That's pretty much it for the public version for now
Ok Thank you
is there a way to exit a girl in gallery mode? im not sure which key i should press
Press down until she lets you go.
i think in done with the white hair girl, but i cant seem to find the tablet, im after the part you use a box to lock her out
It's just after that part, go right until there is a small room with 2 switches and ropes. The tablet is on the table.
but the white hair girl always spawn
Only if you step on the pressure plate
Oh Thx, I didn't notice that the second rope triggerred the pressure plate and was very confused for a moent. Thx for the help, and i really enjoy the game, waiting for the new updates
i think you should redo the controler for android because its mess up
It has already been done. Its just not public yet
okay thank you
U just can't play the game with those controls, I can't hide from the first girl, I try for an hour, I think it's impossible
You don't have to hide from her. In fact, you can't. Read the FAQ.
maybe a settings that can adjust the brightness in game? cuz it's too dark for me at times I can't see a thing
did the 1.1 have the last key ?
Yes it has 3 tablets
I am at the part where I have already activated the two of the three statues. I am stumped on finding the third stone tablet. What should I do?
First, make sure you are using the latest (V1.1) version. Then the third tablet will be behind the third door from the left where the red succubus is imprisoned. Each door there has 1 tablet.
Ok. Thanks.
BRUH i cant figure out the middle doors final trap room after the rope chase can someone tell me how to get the tablet and get out without getting trapped
You have to avoid the switches. You can just jump into the ropes as long as you have not activated the switches.
Thx
I'm having a problem with the controls, I can't interact with anything (ex. Doors) I even tried the gallery and nothing seems to work, I'm using android btw.
Press the joystick up
Oh I got used with dragging the joystick up instead of pressing. Thanks :D
Tengo un problema y es que es complicado usar el botón de escape ya que es el mismo del joystick, esto hace que no me pueda pasar el primer nivel ( versión Android)
this is fixed in 1.1.2
How do you get through the god damn door at the end of the hallway (very first thing you have to do) when the red bitch is coming at you like a goddamn freight train, I'm playing on android and the joystick controls are very slow in response which I know has already been pointed already. The red lady is so fast and I know the doors at the very end of the hallway but when I try to go through it she's already caught up to me. I really want to enjoy this game but it's not easy when the very first enemy is impossible to get away from
Do you get good framerates? At this point, I'm starting to suggest that I made something not framerate independent, as I just can't imagine how ppl are having trouble there.
Practice how open the door (just how fast you opened, just one little up with the joystick)
Also, I've made android controls better in 1.1.2 (separate use button, not joy up). That will help when it becomes public, I'm sure.
I love this game so much but I'm on android and dear god it's so laggy and the controls are so floaty. Any chance you'll fix this?
I might introduce a low performance mode along the way. Until then what phone are you using and what framerate are you getting?
I'm using a Galaxy J36V and the frame rate is 10 to 11. It may be because I'm on an older phone.
I don't want to promise anything, but I'll try to look into it. I first have to test how much would turning off lighting effects would help, because that's pretty much all I can do. Sadly your phone is very weak on the performance side.
yeah, I've got to get a new one. But thank you!
I experimented with a new low-performance mode and it boosted my FPS almost by 100%. So in V1.1.3 I'll introduce this new option :)
kredyn when are u gonna make a onlyfans???
U wanna see my butt that much?
yes :>
it won't let me install the new 1.1, it just goes like it's downloading it and then suddenly stops.
i already tried uninstalling, now it just goes as if it's installing, suddenly stops and says "install'.
Hmmm thats interesting what do u play on
i think i broke her
lol what did you do to her
I was pushing a crate got caught then managed to escaped.Now she just stuck there
Ahh I see now... Well, I mean she can't fly back :)
How do i get past the first chick!? even when i out spam her it doesn't let me go, also i dont have a key for the door...
This has been answered a ton of times before. Just run till the end of the corridor.
is there a way for me to keep my progress from old versions
Yes, the saves are backward compatible. Just copy the gamesave.save file from the old build's DrainMansion_Data to the new build's DrainMansion_Data folder.
Uh... I can't download it on my android...
If that happens you have to first uninstall the game, then reinstall it. But beware, this WILL delete your save file. I'd recommend you to back it up first. It's in Android/data/com.Kredyn.DrainMansion/files on the internal storage of your phone. Then after you installed it, put the save file back. It is backward compatible.
Thank you very much!
God the white hair girl is so hard to escape there's way too many trap in that cooridoor if I missed only 1 I died basically
so im guessing the newest version for patrons have android support to right?
what do you mean by android support. The public version also has android support.
im talking about versions after this do they have mobile support because im thinking about making a subscription to ur patreon
Yes, every version after this supports android
there are only 2 keys in 1.0.2
thank you.In addition,your works like another game FOBS,i am very like it
This isn't zell.
hey, i downloaded the windows version, but i don't know how to open it, because i don't know how to use winrar. who can help me pls?
When you have installed both you only need to click on the game in the download list (or in the folder in which you have saved it) and then on the folder with the name of the game you should look for the type "application" and this simply just start
On Mac I practically bash my fingers pressing both enter and space but I still get only about 70% on the escape bar. Is it a bug or am I just slow with key mashing?
You got caught by an inescapable enemy.
On the android version there is no tutorial on how to escape the girls fast enough, like i tap like there is no tomorrow but still cant get her past 90% or so. Fix please? Also, can you fix the button for escaping? Thank you
There are a lot of girls you can't escape from. What do you mean fix the button for escaping?
well in the android version the button barely responds for me. Im talking about the red haired girl who looks like she's wearing a swimsuit on the first level
I also dont know how to get the key to unlock the door at the end of the hall, also on the first level
If you mean the very first enemy, then you can't escape from her if she catches you.
Then how do i get through the door which needs a red key
Also, i love this itch.io game, and i'd love to help with french translations for free if you need it.
You need the red key which is after the platform part of the game.
God damn it
Hey. The android version does have lag problems here, which I will have to fix in the future. For now, I suggest you to skip it. I'll give you a save after this escape ok?
https://www.mediafire.com/file/otbvibrho0dz5yh/gamesave.save/file
Put the save file to Android/data/com.Kredyn.DrainMansion/files on your internal storage of your phone.
