‘I literally have never forgiven PB for dropping It Lives. It was such a great and compelling story, and was building up to an epic third installment. The fan version is great, it is, but it just isn't what I thought they were building up to. I wish there was a way to find out what they were planning, if nothing else...’

To those who always demands DR under every official post, please see the information below of average revenue per month by RC and the other popular apps out there: Choices, Chapters, Episode, Romance Fate.

You can find more using SensorTower. I'm sure whatever app you look up will be shown making LOTS more money than RC does . Additionally, anyone who knows a bit about the cost of art would know RC probably spends the most on art and animation than most other games. The only app I can see spending more on art would be Romance Rate, because they are all animated. Still, the money they make more or less covered the cost, unlike RC.

Really. Think twice before you are rude to the developers and other players trying to communicate. Coming from app making background, I can tell RC is a company that is probably spending just as much as they are making right now. These DRs are a favor to players, and purely out of love. It really isn't something to be taken for granted.

Many apps making this amount of revenue ended up shutting down. You never know when the same fate will come to RC. We can only hope for the best. For now, I just hope people can drop their entitlement for a moment and appreciate what is given to us. Don't only start to regret what you complained when you no longer have the game you loved to complain about.

Collectibles & Other Results

LIs & Corresponding Endings

Out of curiosity, I decided to see which final LIs corresponded most with the different endings, and I found the results quite interesting! The options were: Blood, Mixed, Shadow, and Betrayal (all successful), Blood Betrayal, killed by Matthias, and killed by Noah/Devon.

LIs & MC Gender

And there you have it, the final It Lives Within survey results! A massive thank you to everyone who took the time to respond, and I hope you find these results as interesting as I did.

Speaking for myself…

Frankly, I think PB has no excuse. I understand that they’re a company that has to minimize costs while maximizing profits and spending a lot of time on a book is expensive, but there are a lot of things you can do—simple things—to make the experience more enjoyable for players. Honestly, a lot of the stuff people think is complicated, like programming in jealousy or remembering player choices or changing sex scenes based on anatomy or altering narration to match character appearance, is really not complicated at all. You just have to plan everything out thoroughly and then write out everything that has been planned. I do think that we were a lot more complex and thorough than PB could or would ever be, and that’s okay, but there’s also a ton of simple stuff that they could do to give their players more impact over the story. And the fact that they don’t… well sometimes I just feel like this:
