The rewrites are finally here! Since the start of the year, I’ve been slowly rewriting the entire Act to improve the writing overall and tweak a few scenes. With the end of Act 2 coming so soon, I powered through and finally finished it!
There are no major changes to the main story. This has been more of a massive edit than full rewrite. The first half, especially, has been edited the most.
Overall, this is everything that I've done for this update:
Improved writing in general.
Adjusted the atmosphere and certain details to better fit a medieval setting, since before it could get a bit confusing in some scenes.
Toned down the swearing, especially for the MC. I got feedback saying it felt a bit too much, and after revisiting it, I agreed. I also replaced some words with ones more fitting for the setting.
Added new dialogue options.
Added new variables for MC's gender and pronouns to clean up the code. Before it was made with if statements.
Tweaked some existing variables and scenes.
Updated the codex and added an entry for the MC.
In MC's codex entry, there are also some notes written by the MC about their love interest if they have it.
Some variables have already been added to Act 2 to avoid save issues, but there’s still a chance a few might not display properly. Because of that, I recommend replaying Act 1 even if you've already finished it just to make sure everything imports smoothly into Act 2.
Plus, believe me, the replay is totally worth it!

For those playing on mobile, I still can't find a solution for the audio on the APK. I believe it has something to do with the files being too heavy, but I can't compress them enough for the audio to work properly. I'll keep trying to find a solution, but until then I'm afraid the APK will continue without background music.
On another note, now there's also a Walkthrough available on Patreon and Ko-Fi for those with the Achimencey Tier and up!
Thank you all for the support! :D
