(One more time) From the Top! v0.34
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Android
When your best friend invite you to spend the summer with her you thought it would be a relaxing and fun experience. After all, she's been working in the biggest and best film studio in the country. Well, you were wrong. A dramatic event will force you to investigate the people you just met and try to find out what dark secrets are hiding. During this investigation you will meet A-list celebrities, directors, producers and the rest of the crew in the studio. Some of them will be nice but some others... well, not so nice. They are suspects, can you trust them? Are they playing with you? Will you fall in love with any of them?
"From the Top" is a Gay Visual Novel where we will explore different aspect like coming out, dealing with acceptance, self empowering and finding love. All of it based in the glamorous environments of the show business, red carpets and parties (and their dark sides too).

Have patience my friend, working VN is also hard thing to do
Absolutely love this game thank you MadJubal for gifting us such a fab gay romance novel. Question for other players or MadJubal is there a guide that can tell players how to unlock certain scenes? The following contains spoilers if you still haven't play this wonderful game you don't know what your missing and you have been warn of spoiler #SPOILER I know that there are probably some scenes that are wip for the time being or they have yet to be drawn I'm missing the scene between the protagonist showing off his boner to Dante and Hailey having her arms around Blake. There a few more but I'm not sure what can trigger them. Thank you so much and have a fabulous day.
Just starting Chapter 2 and wow, this is a really great VN! I love it!
I played this game for like 2 days, and personally, this is the best gay adult visual novel I have ever played, hands down! Why? First, the storyline, bow! So riveting and fun, and it hooks you in that you want to more what's going to happen next.
Second, the characters. They are three-dimensional, interesting, and it makes you want to know more about them. Each and every one of them are fully-realized and distinct.
Third, the storyline and character progression. Oh my goodness me, the more that you progress in to the story, the more it gets exciting. It's like you want to finish the story, but you also don't want to. I just love the peaks and valleys of it.
Fourth, the amount of choices that you can make on this game is just mind-boggling. I love that these choices, whether big or small, make a significant effect on how you progress the story, and I love that power.
Fifth, the illustrations. My oh my, is it just me, but I find them tastier and more delectable than some of those 3D adult visual novels?
I love this game so much, and I'm looking forward to the new releases and making myself hot and flustered again.
I stayed up all night playing this after discovering it - it is so well written, the characters are all compelling, great dialogue, I'm hooked on the plot and the MC is great too. I like that the romanceable characters each offer something different in their relationship with the MC. And so many hot scenes! A really, really good VN, I look forward to new releases when they come out :)
Damn I need Adam and Mr. York or even Xavier's Dad to f*** me roughly while choking 🥺💦
I just stumbled upon this gem and god it is so good I love the MC , the characters and the story I still havent finished playing the current build but I can't wait for more please keep working on this masterpiece I am so in love with Oliver , Blake , Adam and Mr York
I love them too. But Mr.York still number one. Especially when he said "Bath included?" I just can't help my self but Blushed 😭
Oh, I definitely agree! I love hot DILFs like Mr. York. That man is fine as hell and makes me blush like a tomato too.
I love the game,i want to know when is the next update and i love Mr.York.Will there be more of him in the next update?
I have a problem!!
I found your game on a different website, and i think i was playing v.31 or v.32. Unfortunately, I didn t know about the itch game here, so I played online and download my current status. Until I reached the end of the game at Gabriel's house. Now I am devastated. I downloaded the last version from here and my old zip files with saves don't work, even if I added them in the saves file. I wouldn t want to redo the whole game (even if I could collect the scenes I missed when I started), mostly because I don t have enough free time and patience. Do you think there is any solution to make my old progress be working in the new versions? I know that is the warning at the beginning of the game, but I am hurting 😭
Yeah, sorry, nothing I can do about it. The official places to get the games are this one, Patreon and F95zone
:(
Is v0.33 the most recent update?
Adam made me feel so many things omg I need a date with him yessss
Anyone else having error code "game/dates_part03.rpy" Line 6600. its right after you speak with Mr. York at his home. on Mac if that helps any.
Thank You
Hi is there any possibility how to have somethink more with Oliver.
for the strip poker how do i get the other cgs? the version where blake is behind
I really liked the new update, I wanted to know when we will see the next update, we will see the next update before the end of the year
Most probably :)
I just played this game again last night. At first I was thinking if I keep Donta at bay I could not fool up with him, I was after Blake and Oliver. As I kept playing I realized that all dates are included in the storyline. I love the bit of mystery you have added to the game, I so want to know who is behind putting the drug in the drink and where that door leads...MadJubal you are doing and amazing job with this game! OMG Gabriel is hot!!! I'm a sucker for him...My (MC) is in love with him.
Yep, all the dates are now part of the storyline, but is not required to do the naughty things with them if they are not your cup of tea. It's just easy for me to remember paths and dialogues that way.
I'm always happy when people love Gabriel, he needs some love too!
Thank you for playing the game! X
Did I do something wrong? The only available dates for me is from Gabriel only.
all the dates are include in the storyline, except Gabriel's date because it's still out of continuity.
getting this error message when trying to extract the game,any help to fix it?
Hi, how to oil Blake's body? Tried to do all part 2 (even more, but not to avail) times, but I still can't do it. Is there some kind of scheme how to do it or is there some kind of order with his lower part?
star with the less intrusive parts like feet… and get going until Mc says he’s done with that part and needs to move one. Leave the inner thighs for the last one. Good ending is Mc fainting
hey, I started playing this game today and liked it a lot. It's like the best and the most interesting and hot game but there're a lot of bugs since I don't have pc . Could you please fix the bugs on android cause I really love your game?😭😭
What kind of bugs? I thought they were already fixed 😔
It keeps taking me back to when the main character has the first sex with Gabriel ( when he took the main character to his house ) or is that the end of the version? And characters which aren't main are not appearing on a screen. I love your game so much. The story line is pretty interesting and all characters are so hot!!!! I enjoy your game a lot even tho there're some bugs. I can't even wait for the next updates😭
v0.28 is the rework of Dante date, you know, poker night, theme park... after that, in case you want to play the missing date it offers to play Gabriel date.
Not sure if that answer your question... :)
Is the story is finished?
not yet :)
Hey MadJubal, any chance of a guide. have never made it to a date with blake yet. was hoping there might be an official guide.
I've just posted a walkthrough on the discord server. I'll try to update it with every new update
that would be amazing mate. Thank you
will try to find it tomorrow. Which tab should i look through
is there any newnsfw scenes with oliver yet and if so how do you get them??
Oliver will take a little bit longer, sorry. Trust me, I want to see those scenes too!
so what are the nsfw scenes we can unlock in the routes???
Hello, I just wanna say I'm loving the game so far and am always looking forward for the next updates! :D I do have a question: Where can I find the save files on macOS? On windows it's usually under ~/game/saves, but I can't seem to find them on macOS. Thanks and keep up the good work!
Sorry for the veer late reply, you might have found it already, but just in case someone else is wondering...
Your Ren'py save files on Mac can be found at this path:
~/Library/RenPy/To access the above path:
COMMAND+SHIFT+G~/Library/RenPy) into the text field and hitGowhats new?
Lots of Oliver scenes! A few Dante, Gabriel and Blake scenes too!
Enjoy!
Sooooo.... i tried updating the game on my android hoping the bug was gone.... and it said again "app not installed as package appears to be invalid" im sad 🥲
I’ll look into it. Sorry!
Sorry to keep bringing it up 😅. I just really liked when i started it and now it wont let me enjoy your awesome game. I guess i'll go touch grass in the mean time. *Cue dramatic fall on the couch*
It seems impossible to me to unlock the route with Blake, I played a good amount changing several choices and I can't go ahead with his route
have you done the mini games properly?
I think what he meant is that he can no longer even choose to go on a date with Blake. From the last update, the menu after the save warning was removed and now it is more linear. The update took you through Oliver's and Adam's dates, but then ends after you tidy up Hailey's room. There is no Blake or Dante date anymore, or at least that's how it seemed.
oh! That… yeah, i made a mistake and i forgot to include the loop to access the resto of the dates. Sorry!
I just wanna know if the bugs are already fix for Android?
in v0.28 the textbook is fixed. in v0.30 choices textbook and saves lots thumbnails will be fixed.
Updating already!! Do I need to restart the game again because my last update is V27 and I also have saves there.
I dont know. I always try not to make people to replay from the beginning, but sometimes renpy works in mysterious ways and is beyond my control.
Hey there!! I've been trying to get to Blake's date yet it seems to always comes to Oliver's route? I tried replaying the game and trying to only make Blake choices yet it still comes back to Oliver's route. I read somewhere that Blake's route should start after Gabriel and I went to work together but it still not working and keeps on going to Oliver's. While there still no response, I'll try a couple more times again. Thanks!
Don't know exactly what you mean. At this point, the dates are being reorganised, the order will be Oliver-Adam-Day off-Blake-Dante-Day off-Gabriel.
v.028 Will be end of the first Day off. I believe there's a loop at the end of the update giving access to the dates that haven been reached yet
hey, is there a way that I can chat with you 101? cause i have some very specific doubts. Maybe an email would be ok.
Discord!
I just wanna know if the bugs are already fix for Android?
the writing in this VN is so good and fun i feel like i am watching a soap opera, thank you for doing this i really hope to be alive to see the end of this visual novel
Its sad coz I've been missing some important dialouges on most of scenes because it is purely black I can't even read the important parts 🥺 I'm already whipped with the story so I'm still continuing even I'm missing some important parts. Hope this will be fix. Love the game though ❤️ I'm using Android.
is still happening in v27? 🥲🥲
Yes. There are still missing black parts can't even read the dialouges so I'm missing important parts. Having a hard time also reading the texts since the background is black
its weird cos I changed the textbox for Android. Until very recently I didnt know Android needed a diferent textbox, hence all the trouble until now. I’ll try to fix it again just hang on for a little bit :)
Yup. Not just the text box but there is also black like this one. This is what I'm referring too that has a missing parts I can't read the texts because it's pure black
oh! That must be when the background is black. Never thought of that… android gives sooo much trouble 😅😅
I think android only forces MC to date Oliver and Adam respectively after trying for a while. I have played on PC before and the turning point they can choose one date and I think that's the intended version so if you could look into that it'd be great. Thank you for an amazing game by the way ❤️
isnt the new version a new day after Adam’s date? Maybe there is something wrong with the android version in this update 🤔🤔
yeah that's like the last part after Adam's but the thing is I cannot choose Blake, Gabrielle, or Dante. The game will play Oliver and Adam then the bewer part. It might be a weird glitch.
oh i believe i messed it up in that update and you can access them anymore, until next update, sorry.
oh ok I thought it was just android thing lol. Keep up the good work~
not this time 😅😅
I cant play in Android 😭
You can download it from Lewdzone too
I don’t post links in that website, if there’s/will be any problem with that version I’m not responsible 😅😅
Oh that makes sense my apologies then 😁
same as I reply before:
“Android version always giving trouble 😅😅
I’ll see if I can do a port of the game for android, though I’m not good at that”
sorry!
Thanks . I really enjoyed the game though 😉
"App not installed as package appears to be invalid" - for androis when i tried updating my game.
android version always giving trouble 😅😅
I’ll see if I can do a port of the game for android, though I’m not good at that
Please dooooo 😭 i dont want this game taken away from me, ive been decent all year ( i dont have another device to play on)
Hello, i was just checking to see if this was tweaked? 😅
Sorry guys, for the late reply! Had some issues with the email I use for getting notify and I wasn't getting your messages! Sorry!
Hello! The game stopped when i went to the park at the back of the building to meet oliver after i stayed at the hotel with adam, are you planning on updating it anytime soon? Love the game btw, im invested!
If I’m not mistaken that’s the end for this update. Next one will be once it’s ready 😅
The words are black on Android version. Love it though just lighten the box or words.
Yeah, as I said before, I wasn't aware that android version needed a different textbook, hence that problem. It should been fixed in this new update. If it still happens, please let me know. I can't test Android version, so it's a bit of trial and error to fix things.
