Hi I'm having trouble using an Android phone after I downloaded the file
I Couldn't install it using zarchiver it was file corrupted
Hey tton!
Sorry to hear you're experiencing issues getting the game up and running.
For Android, you'll need both our official launcher + the .rpa game file.
We have a step by step guide here:
https://rift.ink/3PADL3p
Lemme know if this helps!
seem to be stuck with the elf girls' story where you find her in the attic? any help?
Hey Littledog!
What's the exact name of the quest in you journal? Will try to help you through!
How can t complete the mission hanging out with naomi, i tried many time but it cant complete🥲
Hey Depcha!
Apologies for the delay with this reply.
Hanging out with Naomi is a repeatable quest, but once you've exhausted everything, you've finished it, and it shouldn't stop you progressing with other quests. We're aiming to fix this in a future patch!
Hello i have a problem e with the game. i am on android and i have the 0.7.10 version and i got to a point where i go back to my world with rae but it is morning and she has a pony tail and after that we wake up and caitlin is next to us we talk a little and then i have to tell rae that we will visit different worlds and places but after that it says that it gets to evening and i have an error that says missing positional argument ,,room_id" and i can t ignore ot because it will take me back to the main menu. i don t know how to fix it :(
Hey Heliosss8!
This was a known issue that should've been fixed for the latest Early Access release, however, if possible, could you upload your save so we can have a look?
You can upload to any site of your choosing (Google Drive, Mediafire, etc) and paste the link a reply! (Saves are located in "AHITR/Game/Saves" and look something like "1-1-LT1"
Much appreciated!
Thanks for the reply i hope that this will help and that i did it right and i made a mistake saying that it was the v0.7.10 it actually was the v0.7.9 very sorry for that :( , here is the link for the save: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JkmRjW2uOnoHWX3Y0bBmF9Cor-DHssTi/view?usp=drive...
Thank you very much! ;)
This is perfect, thanks for taking the time to upload/send that!
I'll let you know when I have more information but in the meantime, the fix will roll out when the next free version is available.
Thank you very much! i appreciate it a lot and thank you for taking your time! Have a great day!
Can anybody tell me hoy to make te third Potion, becouse i don get it. I don´t understand the steps
Came for the boobs, stayed because Caitlyn is so goddamn precious I don't even know what to do. I mean come on, I am unironically playing this for the story at this point, wtf is up with that
Welcome to porn games, you come to see some sex and you end wanting to watch whole story until the end.
yeah bro like this is more entertaining than battlefield 2042
I downloaded the file but do not know how to get it to run on android. Any help?
There is a launcher for Android you can install. Also you have to put the file in the ahitr storage -> game
Thank you
Happy to be of service =)
Also, if you ever wanna update it simply delete the old file inside the "game" folder and put the new one in.
Thank you again!
im enjoying this game, but im stucked at some part. lyriel's story 12 says watch TV with lyriel when Rae is in the room. but lyriel is only can tv at morning, and rae is not at her room on morning. how, what should I do?
Hey Kizaru!
Usually if you can't get characters in the same room for a particular quest, progressing the other character(s) quests/stories can help in most cases!
Thx!
How do i install the new uptdate on my previous version?
Hey Layer!
If you're on PC you can download either the compressed or highres version of the game. If you're using the Itch app, it can be downloaded/updated through "my library". Otherwise, extract and run! (Saves carry over automatically).
On Android you can pick either the highres or compressed .rpa file, and place it in your "game" folder (like you would've initially with the game) and delete the old .rpa. Saves also carry over automatically!
Hope this helps o/
I don’t understand the high-res for android does it change anything,also and if it does how do I download it I am confused
Hey Dragu!
The game is rendered in 1080p but for the compressed version it just compresses the overall image and video quality. On small screens its not that noticeable tbh!
And updating it would be downloading the .rpa and placing it in the "game" folder, like you would've done initially installing the game. You can then delete the old .rpa!
Hope this helps!
Only if this was a regular visual novel and didn't require a ton of steps to increase relationships and unlock sex scenes
the Second Potion minigame is badly written at the end, it implies to repeat the grinding and adding of the item twice
Hi there! I am confusion. I downloaded the 0.7.9 here but I don't know how to install it.
Hey Demon!
If you download it here on Itch you can use the Itch launcher by downloading it from your library.
Otherwise you can download, unzip and run!
My phone says it doesn't have a program to unzip it. Is there a program you recommend or is it easier to connect to my laptop and unzip that way?
Also, another dumb question, I'm sorry, but after I install this version and open the game, create new saves, etc, can I delete the old APK to free up space?
Ah! For Android, you'll need to download our Launcher which pairs with the .rpa game file. We have a step by step guide here: https://zanithone.itch.io/a-house-in-the-rift/devlog/583030/android-installation...
Yep! Once you place the new .rpa in the "game" folder, you can delete the old .rpa file.
Hope this helps, if not lemme know and we'll get it sorted o/
Thank you so much! I really, REALLY love this game and was a patron at one of your higher tiers on patreon for a long time, but financial trouble unfortunately took me away from my subscription.
We very much appreciate your support but its completely understandable.
We rather folks look after themselves first and foremost. Your own well being is far more important.
Thanks again for your support, I hope everything going forward is as smooth as possible for you o/
Aaargh I just finished it (excellent game) and yet somehow there are still locked scenes. I wonder what they were? Also I'm very new to this-when I buy the new version, how do I save my save, if that makes sense?
Hey Zembo!
Glad to hear you've enjoyed your time with AHITR so far! Any particular favourite character(s)?
There's only a few missable scenes (at the start in the park and when Rae first arrives) and a few later on (When you dream about the pool and can choose between the girls, best to make a save before this so you can see both play out) and (possibly when you dream of Lyriel being a slave, that has a few different endings) other than that everything else can be unlocked! (Some are tied to dreams).
The image gallery images, can be found with the secret items. Most of them tell you day and time, but a few are hidden ;)
Thankfully your saves carry over automatically to a new version! So all you gotta do is boot and play the new version!
Thanks again for your support and time, we appreciate it o/
I kinda like Cait and Lyriel the best. I feel kinda protective of them. I feel like it would be fun to have Blair be interested in the girls as well, just for variety.
Im confused. I just paid for the latest version. I verifiy its the latest version when loading. But the main girls all say "end of route for current version". Did I do something wrong? Id assume an update would equate to a continuing of their stories...?
Hey Justinc!
Just to confirm, you're on version 7.10?
There should be events for Cait and Blair. Reloading/Restarting your game can fix this. Also, does progressing time make any of these appear?
Does this game even have a story worth readng? This seems liek yet another PWP.
Hey Shadow,
AHITR has a main story and each of the main girls have their own personal stories too (all still in development of course). There's some side content/events too.
The story and well written characters is what got me interested in AHITR originally and it's only improved and expanded upon since then.
I'd recommend giving it a shot and hopefully you dig it. If not, would love to hear your feedback, good or bad.
Appreciate your time!
I have the older version, but I don't know how to update the game without losing my progress. How do you update it? :<
Hi!
Your saves will carry over automatically! All you gotta go is place the new .rpa in the "game" folder and delete the old.
If you'd like to make a manual back up, your saves are located in "ahitr_storage"
Hope this helps o/
How can i start at the beginning without all the gallery unlock? I keep delete the save file but nothing happen. Even the save file are still in game
Are you sure you've deleted it?
The save files are stored in "C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\RenPy" (enter your PC username [it may be shortened a bit, check under "user"] in the <user> section, minus the "<>" then delete the "AHouseintheRift" file), or type %appdata% in the windows searchbar > RenPy > AHouseintheRift and delete, assuming this is on PC
The data such as the "gallery unlock" is stored in the "Persistent" file within
A little worried that two of the files, ahitr-32 and a python script, are being flagged as viruses. I'm on windows and am assuming this is a false positive but I thought i'd better check because this game looks really good.
Some anti-virus programs can and will flag certain downloads as a false threat. If you are downloading from our official sources it is indeed safe!
As expected, thank you for the clarification :)
ive paid for it but cant update to .7.10?
Hi jhackney!
Are you having a problem with downloading the new version, or with updating the game? Which device are you playing on?
You have to download it from your library, and then you'll have the latest version.
Are these bunny girl and maid outfits that are used in the update posts and on the side bars actually in the game? I've been playing for a while and getting caught up with 0.7.8 I haven't seen them.
Also, are there any plans to implement a costume system where we can tell the girls to wear outfits they have previously worn around the house? or is that already a thing and I just missed it?
the bunny outfits are mainly in the dream sequence (The Lounge) you can pick from your phone's Dream Pal app. id forgotten about that part of the phone menu for a long time. No idea about the maid outfits tho.
bunny and maid related dreams are Patreon perks
The Bunny Lounge dream is actually not exclusive for Patrons!
Oh! I could have sworn it was Patreon. Good to know.
Also, thank you for the fantasic work!
Thank you for your kind words!
Hi!
The bunny girl costumes are part of the Bunny Lounge dream that is available to everyone. You can access it through the Dream Pal app on your in-game phone.
The maid outfits for Lyriel belong to a bonus dream with her available
for our Patrons, along with another bonus dream with Rae and Cait. You can find the bonus codes for the dream in this post https://rift.ink/3Tsqgnu
As to the costume system, we currently have no plans to implement that. Although there's a lot yet to come!
I really love this game from the characters to the visuals to the storyline it was worth every penny I spent and I was wondering if you've made any other games or have any suggestions
Hey MyDad,
Thanks a bunch for the kind words and feedback, we greatly appreciate the support! Super glad you've been enjoying your time with AHITR!
AHITR is the only game right now, but we do have stuff planned for the future. As for recommendations, we've done a bunch of cross promotions with other AVNs, you can have look here: https://www.patreon.com/Zanith/posts and in the search field type "crosspromo".
As for personal recommendations: Summer Heat, Harem Hotel, Mythic Manor are the first few that come to mind. If you like matching puzzle games and don't mind Scalie stuff, I'd highly recommend "Humans are not that against Lizardwomen"
We also have a very active NSFW Games section of our Discord where a lot folks in our community can recommend even more games:
https://discord.gg/ahitr
Thanks again for your time, feedback and support!
I really wanted to like this one but the orc and the dwarf girls are too ugly for me. Felt like a chore trying to do their stuff. Once I was just skipping text, I gave up.
Hey Huel,
Sorry to hear you didn't enjoy your time with AHITR.
We aimed to create a diverse cast of girls/characters, with their own personalities, that would appeal to wide range of people.
However, we understand that not everyone will click with certain characters, and that's perfectly okay. Each to their own and all that.
If any, what elements/girls did you enjoy from what you played?
Thanks again for your feedback and time o/
Late reply, but most of the cast is fine. The demon is kinda vanilla main heroine, the mage is the shy type which can be fun as well, the elf is the dere which is always great and the pirate is the muscular girl boss type, which I guess some people like. I prefer both the elf and the demon girls, but nothing wrong with the other two.
The orc is kinda fine, but the teeth and the "do what you like and I won't even budge" was a turn off for me, but was bearable. As for the dwarf, she's too disproportional for me. I kept thinking she had some kind of facial deformity everytime I saw her face, so I wasn't even interested to know more about her.
And since you're kinda obligated to view everyone's story to progress, once I started skipping text, I decided it was enough. No reason to play VNs if you won't read. Maybe I could give it another chance in the future but that's it for now. I wish you the best nonetheless.
This game is one of my favorites in the AVN community, not sure what we call theses tbh but I love this game, the creator makes every woman feel important and I'm not even a fan of Sandbox games or whatnot but this is just a great game.
Hey Vasanta!
Thanks a bunch for the kind words/feedback. Glad to hear you've been enjoying AHITR!
Do you have any particular character that's a favourite?
Blair for sure. I was originally interested in Naomi but I kinda backed down as she got closer to Caitlin if I remember correctly and immediately caught interest in Blaire even though, I don't know what she's saying half the time.
So when I try to Extract the latest version I get this Error message.
Error 0x80004005: Unspecified error
images_girls_azrae.rpa
Type: RPA File
Size: 700MB
Hey Rift!
Are you on Android? If so, you don't extract the .rpa file, but use our AHITR launcher to play.
We have a step by step visual guide here:
https://rift.ink/3PADL3p
Lemme know if that helps!
Sorry no I am not using Android but Windows.
Hye Rift,
My apologies for the misunderstanding.
Can you try downloading the latest free version on our Patreon? Sometimes downloads on Itch can be a bit wonky.

Let me know if that helps!
Excellent game, very well done. Hope that spooky guy doesn't get any traction - I don't really want this story to end!
7.10's release notes say "engage in some voyeuristic activities" - how does one do that?
Also, I am missing a ton of Scene Gallery... I have been picking up any ietms that I find... but is there something else I should be doing in-game to discover more scenes and gallery images? I'm missing so many I may have to replay from the beginning to try to get them all.
Hey Ouchy!
Glad to hear you've been enjoying AHITR! We also appreciate the kind words/feedback!
The "voyeuristic activities" have been delayed for 7.11, apologies for the confusion!
For the image gallery in your phone, most of them will tell you what day and time of the day the item can be found, its just a case of searching each of the rooms. There are some secret items too, but none of them are missable!
In regards to the scene replay, there's a few missable scenes at the start of the game (if you have, you can start a new game and just speed through to get them, they are within the first 0-30 mins of the game).
Lost and Found Part 7 (Potion minigame) also has some missable animations so its worth making a save before doing that event!
Hope this information helps p/
sure does help! Thanks ;)
Great game.
I play on Android, how do I update without losing my progress?
Hey John!
Your saves will carry over automatically! All you gotta go is place the new .rpa in the "game" folder and delete the old.

Hello, is there a guide on how to play android? I downloaded both files but I have no idea what to do now
Hey Exodiumm!
We do indeed have a step by step guide here!:
https://rift.ink/3PADL3p
If you have any questions or issues, let me know and we'll try to sort it out o/
Thank you!
W game! By the way, how do I use the 3gb file on Android? I updated my launcher with the new one but I forgot what I did with the big file when I first downloaded it.
Hey I <3,
Thanks the kind words and appreciation o/
When you download the .rpa file, you place it in the "game" folder in the "ahitr_storage" folder! Just be sure to delete the old .rpa!
Hey, is there any way to know how many chapters there are in each girl's story? I've just got as far as you can with the main storyline and am trying to figure out how many hours of gameplay are left to me.
Hey Dixie!
Since the game is still in progress, it's hard to say how many chapters are left and whatnot.
If you're wondering how far you've progressed so far, you can check the quest log and head to the "completed" tab!
Hope this helps o/
These are the max "story" numbers for each girl as of v.0.7.8...
There are a number of other side story arcs, too, of course. HTH.
That's exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
i just updated my game how do i bring my save file over
Hey Rustic,
Saves carry over automatically!
I can't seem to get Rae and Lyriel to talk near the pool. They don't seem to want to spawn. I am about to summon the goblin girl and I have finished both of their quest lines up until now
Hey Ultra,
In most cases, doing other quests related to the involved character can activate these triggers so I would suggest doing that first and trying again!
I'll try!
Thank you brother 🙏
May you reach Valhalla :)
Is there lewd sounds?
Hey Rustic,
Outside of a dream with a side character, there are no lewd sounds in the main game.
Where's the whiskey
Hey Rustic,
You can search for it in the fridge!
thank you
Hey Bztr,
If you have any other quests/story stuff with Cait or Lyriel you may need to finish/advance those first to get this to trigger.
Give that a try and let me know o/
What does the "ken" term that Blair use mean? I know its some western European slang, but i cant put my finger on it.
Hey Ed!
It's a Scottish term/slang for "You know" I believe!
thanks fam
It is 😉
Hey, I've just stepped into the world of creating VN's, and I was wondering what art applications everyone uses in order to create the art for the games(BG, characters, etc)? Currently using Ren'Py to create the VN's, as I've heard good things about it.
Hey Anon!
There's a lot of programs/resources out there for you to help/advance on your game making journey!
Unity + Blender are a very popular combo for all things 3D related. As for the likes of image editing, while Adobe Photoshop and other programs within the Adobe tree are very popular, Adobe have some very questionable business practices lately, so I would suggest picking an image editor of your choosing. If you're looking for editing video files, DaVinci Resolve is one of the best programs for free right now!
Here's a list of stuff that's a good alternative to Adobe software:

I installed 0.7.10 hi-res (Android), and while I see the new Lyriel option, nothing is appearing in my journal. Is that normal?
Edit: Oddly, restarting the game made the new quests appear. Strange.
Dose Any Body ealse have A problem with there last save not working with the New Version. My 7.8 File wont seem Carry over to 7.10 I just get an error message and brought back to the intro of the game. I'm on PC by the way.
Hey poss!
Are you updating from high res to high res and or compressed to compressed? You can't mix and match.
Can you upload a screenshot of the error here on Itch in a reply? Also, could you upload your save file to a file sharing site (Mediafire, Google drive, etc anything will do.) and we can take a look.
Ok It seems to have Fixed It's self. I went back to see if i could get the error messeage and the save worked. This was after I decided to play a littile of the Intro again. I Think there just needed to be some save File data for it to carry over From 7.8 To 7.10. In this case the Auto saves; So that it wasn't loading The 7.8 by itself witch probably cause Problems. Or at least thats what I think Happend. So for anybody else That Might have had this issue if it directs you to the intro if you hit ignore play a bit and then see if you can use that save.
I was Wrong
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NlaR-7WzuR0XpOtS_myR9A-d3PsuppcP/view?usp=drive...
Hey Poss,
Thanks for uploading, however you'll need to enable access so I can download!
Also, does hitting "ignore" on the error do anything?
To the first: How? To the Second: It Brings Me to the intro
Never Mind It's open. The Links to Save I mean
Hey Poss,
In the error it shows you're still on 7.7r2 , are you running the game in the correct folder?
