Early Access Demo Update and Public Release Announcement 🎉

The early access demo is now updated with the entirety of Act One (I'll now be referring to chapter 1 as act one and will divide the story into larger acts composed of parts instead of chapters).

Parts 4.4 and 4.5 add:

talk with MC's father

talk to Nour

talk to Sam and Aurynn

travel to Port Onyxia

The early access demo is available on Patreon and Ko-fi.

I'll be updating the public demo on Monday, March 23rd! :) 🎉🐛❤️

Public Demo Update! 🎉 Chapter 1 Part 3

It's finally here! Adds ~61,800 words to the story plus ~6,700 words in codex character entries. Reblogs and shares very appreciated! ❤️

Play here on itch.io!

I would HIGHLY recommend you start on a new save as I have had to make some changes to variables and stats which will be detailed below, but starting from an existing save may break some things later in the game for you and you won't unlock the codex or stat pages if you don't.

In this update, you will:

Meet Lady Safina (Parim and Aurora's mother) and talk to Aurynn

Meet Lady Najaat (Nour's mother) and speak with your own mother

Play a flashback scene involving you, your mother, and Luca from your childhood

Speak with Samira

Get your food and bed stolen by your greedy little hog of a serval, Farwah

Meet the rest of MC's siblings (Aurora, Castor, and Ember) and Something or Someone Else™️ in a dream sequence

Speak with Luca in a dream

Use your divination to have a vision

Ouchies T-T

(Mostly) Accidentally snoop through Aurynn's mail with Samira

Find Aurynn in the library vault

Detailed changes below:

Changed the Straightforward stat to "Sincere"

Added "Aloof" stat

MC's personality is now divided between two types of stats: your main stat (charismatic, gentle, confrontational, dignified, imposing) and your secondary stat (manipulative, aloof, sincere)

Minor edits throughout demo and Character Creator

Added custom pronouns to Character Creator

Added cis/trans option to Character Creator (originally, this was going to be a choice introduced in chapter 2, but upon further thought I felt it would be easier to establish cis/trans early on and then in chapter 2 there will still be a scene that reflects on and clarifies mc's gender identity)

Added new music tracks

Updated UI

Added main menu

Added OpenDyslexic font to Settings

Added options to be able to rename saves to the Settings or have them autoname for you for ease of keeping track of save files

Added Stats page

Added character codex entries (codex is currently still a WIP in terms of UI and content and more entries on lore/history/magic etc will be added later)

Thank you so much for all the support you've shown the demo this last year and I am so sincerely grateful for all the kind messages people have sent! I hope you enjoy the update--I worked very hard on it! :D

The next update, Chapter 1 Part 4, will finish off chapter one.

Chapter 1 Part 4.1 Public Demo Update! 🎉🎉🎉🦀

As mentioned previously, irl has been much busier for me and I've had less time for writing recently, so I've decided to break part 4 into two parts for public release. :)

Play here on itchio!

The demo has been publicly updated to include the first part of Chp 1 Pt 4, which adds ~15,900 words and includes:

Arrive at the Thissys ceremony

Listen to a conversation between Nour and Farah

Speak briefly with Nour

Speak with Farah (owie)

Exchange a gift with Farah

Speak to your mother and make choices affecting your relationship (owie again)

Exchange a gift/trade with your mother

The update will likely break saves, but I think I figured out what was breaking them before, so hopefully the next update will not break or erase any saves. However, I have also implemented a quick start feature to make such updates easier. The quick start feature allows you to set your variables and skip to the new content, which will start you at the beginning of Chp 1 Pt 4.1.

Thank you and I hope you enjoy the update! :) ❤️🦀

(More detailed changelog below:)

added the "headpiece" and "ornate" hairstyle and facial hair to the character creator

the silver-gray hair color option added in early access has been removed; it was requested in an anon ask, but upon further reflection, I felt the color would feel too out of place on MC considering certain in-world lore

minor edits throughout the demo

made Parim and Aurora slightly older; Parim's age is now 29 at death and Aurora's is 28

added MC's appearance to the Stats page

added new music tracks
