I keep consistently dying to the General; do you have any recommended pathways to prevent this???

Hey there! Thanks for playing the game! I hope you like ot this far. To avoid getting shot by the General Mongeau's troops you need to have treated Melanie well before. Not necessarily flirting with her, but being kind will make her stand up to her father and prevent your execution.

Status update!

Hey everybody! Quick update! I have been working on the second subroute of Chapter 7 this summer and the progress is good but it is definitely not final yet. In a nutshell you shall be going back to New York, reliving your childhood memories, catching up with long gone friends and if you play your cards right, even train alongside a famous, -then- British officer. And much much more!

Now, since I haven’t updated the story at all since December, I am planning on releasing the first subroute, “Learning to Fly” in a couple of days, once I make sure that there are no bugs and test it a little bit. This will raise the total word count to 68k words.Soooo, stay tuned! Update incomingggg!!!

Status Update : Chapter 7 is now 1/3 complete!

In the vastness of the untamed south, where the secrets of the earth whisper on the wind, a journey unlike any other awaits. You have chosen to traverse the wilds, to uncover the ancient mysteries held close by the Southern Shamans. But what will you uncover in the depths of the sacred caverns and the endless expanse of the desert?

Who is the enigmatic shaman, a man who moves with the grace of the hawk, soaring above the desert sky, only to vanish like a mirage before your very eyes? And who is Aiyana, the mysterious and enchanting presence whose beauty rivals the moon’s gentle glow?

In this land of shadows and light, can they truly alter your fate and set you on a new course? Will the echoes of the past and the visions of the future guide you to the truth of your soul, or will they lead you into the heart of the storm that rages within?

Find out in Chapter 7!

Will there be fun stuff like scalp swimming?

There could be, depending on if you guys consider it too violent for a game about the Period, or as a historical fact that should be mentioned. Waiting to hear on your opinions...
