## What is Galplay?

Galplay is a multi-engine visual novel player for iPhone and iPad. Download, import and organize your games, manage saves and enjoy your favorite stories in one app.

■ Multi-Engine Support, with Continually Improving Commercial Game Compatibility

Galplay supports multiple mainstream visual novel game engines, including Ren’Py, Kirikiri, ONScripter, RPG Maker, TyranoScript and CatSystem2.

Most known commercial game compatibility issues have been resolved for Ren’Py and Kirikiri. Commercial games for ONScripter, RPG Maker, TyranoScript and CatSystem2 continue to undergo testing and compatibility improvements.

Includes 17 Ren’Py runtimes covering versions 7.4.11 through 8.5.3, bringing older and newer titles together.

■ Game Imports

Bring games from across your collection into Galplay. Connect directly to Baidu Netdisk or WebDAV to browse and download cloud-stored titles, import existing games from the Files app or external storage, or transfer them from your computer through Web uploads. Wherever you keep your games, bring them together in a portable library on iPhone and iPad.

Import ZIP, 7z, RAR and LZ4 archives, Ren’Py APK game packages or complete game folders. Split and password-protected archives can also be extracted and imported within the app. Galplay checks project structure and prepares the required runtime, reducing file-management work. Queue multiple cloud-stored games together to get your next adventures ready, with downloading, importing, organizing and playing connected in one app.

■ Dynamic Island, Lock Screen Progress and Notifications

Track download status with Dynamic Island and Lock Screen progress, with notifications when downloads finish. Downloads continue in the background when you switch apps or lock your screen, so you can return to play with a seamless transition.

■ Designed for Touchscreens

The quick toolbar brings together common Galgame features such as fast-forward, rollback, autoplay and quick save/load. A customizable special-key panel makes touch play more convenient. Expand it when needed and fold it away when not, giving your favorite games more screen space.

Virtual mouse controls, long-press skip and convenient keyboard input make touch play easier. Adjust landscape lock, brightness, screen wake and gestures to find the setup that feels right for you.

■ Games and Saves

Keep your collection and progress organized. Games, covers, details and local saves share one library, with clear storage usage for games and downloads to make tidying up easier.

Import, export, back up and restore saves. AirDrop, local-network transfers, iCloud Drive and external folders give you flexible ways to move titles and preserve progress, keeping your favorite stories ready to continue.

■ On-Device Apple Translation

Enjoy character names, dialogue and choices through on-device Apple Translation in supported Ren’Py games. Original text is preserved, and translation can be turned off whenever you prefer.

Choose real-time translation, in-place text translation (Beta), or pretranslation. Translate as you play or prepare translated text ahead for a smoother reading experience. Translation runs on your Apple device without sending game text to third-party translation services.

Note: Only one open-source game is included as a sample. Users must provide their own game content. Galplay does not provide or distribute third-party game content.
