Truths Untold by Crow Tree Entertainment

How do you move forward when the truth isn't an option?

Truths Untold by Crow Tree Entertainment

A Regency era otome game with RPG features. The game is still in development. The dev is planning to iron out the demo first to prepare their projetc for it’s Kickstarter launch. The beta can be played in browser or downloaded for PC, Mac and Linux.

~ Story ~

The Fernside's have a family secret.  And when Miss Fernside and her family come home from a sudden trip abroad, they return to a vastly changed social landscape.  In their absence, rumors of the most vile kind have spread about Miss Fernside.  Her innocence could easily be proven, but sometimes the truth can be more damaging than a lie.

Help Miss Fernside navigate this new social world she finds herself in.  Will she discover the source of the rumors?  Find a way back into proper society?  Make the most of her new role as a scandalous woman?   Or Find love?

You help shape her story.  And answer the question; How does one move forward when the truth isn't an option?

~ Game Play ~

Choices are about role-playing and narrative building

Choices aren't just for major story impacting moments, but also for the smaller ones, adding a more immersive role-playing experience. For example, the choice of what dress to wear to a ball or the nuance of a minor conversation.  

Three personality archetypes you can freely choose between

Mix and match as you feel fits your Miss Fernside.  And based on the choices you have made, the game will track which personality type is the most dominant, and adds variety and color to the text of the narrative.

A different sort of stat building

Instead of trying to up the level of affection points you have with a particular love interest, our game focuses on building a narrative around the MC and each potential suitor.  Miss Fernside's previous choices color her opinion and inclination towards each one, opening up and changing dialog and interactions as you move forward in the story.

@wildxplosion from this: [ask]

Man, today was not a good day to deal with people.

He didn’t know if it had been a prank or a dare but one of those support class losers had ran over to him and stabbed him in the arm with a needle. He’d turned around to knock it out of their hand but they’d already hit the plunger.

Turns out the damn thing has truth serum in so he wasn’t even able to threaten them effectively. He’d just shouted at them that he wanted to blow them up but couldn’t actually do it.

Embarrassing much.

He’d tried to go to class but his classmates had decided that the serum was hilarious and had effectively made him a class distraction. He’d been sent back to the dorms to study alone with strict instructions on what. He’d be missing out on hero training but they were just practicing what they’d learned the day before so he could luckily do it alone.

Otherwise he might have actually kill- no, that was a lie god dammit.

He just hoped none of the losers from the other universe were around the dorms today because he was busy sulking on the couch and he did not want to spill any thoughts to any of them.

Kacchan was showing Yuu around, so Yamikumo had hit the gym by himself. The two of them were classmates, so it made sense they’d like to do some catching up on their own. And besides, Yamikumo had developed his own routine in this world.

He was surprised to walk into the dorm to find someone already sitting on the couch. For a brief moment he thought that maybe Kacchan and Yuu had come back early, but Yuu was nowhere to be seen and Kacchan didn’t usually hunch over like that.

Katsuki.

“I didn’t think today was a half-day,” he commented offhandedly. “Is anyone else back? Or did you finally manage to get yourself kicked out of class?”

The SFX demo update is finally here! Yay!!!

This update has taken longer than anticipated due to unexpected health issues, moves, and other random chaos that 2020 seems rife with. But thank you all so much for your patience and kind comments. It's really helped to keep us motivated through everything!

We hope you enjoy playing with sound effects and let us know what you think of the changes! Or if you come across any problems. (But please take note that if you click through quickly some of the sound effects may sound off or not sync right.)

A list of changes can be found down below.  Thanks again! Now we move onward to adding music!

Truths Untold || Clint, Phil, and Kate (or, Two Angry Hawks and an Agent)

Exhaustion didn't even begin to cover the way Clint was feeling by the time he'd thrown his gear down onto his couch. Being sent on back-to-back ops without knowing the exact reason for them wasn't his idea way to spend the last couple of days, but he'd heard rumors through the grapevines at work that it had something to do with Phil, and that didn't sit well with the archer. Things didn't add up--didn't make sense--and that left him unsettled and unable to unwind now that he'd finally been given a couple of days' leave to catch up on the rest he'd missed, and he was determined to get to the bottom of this.
