This one is spectacular! The writing, storytelling, and worldbuilding are worthy of an HBO fantasy series. The characters' development and unique voices are so well done. The game engine element adds to the fun for me.
Well done!
Wondering if you have any plans for male content in the future, and if not, alternatively if you would have modding options or ways to add our own content to the game. I love this game and can't wait for each update, but I think it would make it even better to have mods and add-ins that can be shared with others. Thanks for making such a great game!
Holy fuck, where has this game been all my life? Oh right - behind my "for Mac" platform filter.
The cover blurb calls it a "pen and paper RPG" - does that mean the platform information is misleading, or is the blurb out of date?
Unsure why but when I go to my downloads it's not letting me unzip the folder as usual. I am getting routed into my browser to open the file and it's then wanting to open another tab for the file each time etc. Unsure if I did something wrong at install or if I just need to grab another piece of software to run it but anyone with advice would be appreciated.
Download 7Zip (it's free) to extract it, rar files aren't extractable by windows
Wow, I wasn't going to get any new games since I'm really busy with some work project stuff (that I'm *ahem* procrastinating right now *ahem*), but I stumbled on this and it looks just like my cup of tea.
Also, as a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and Neuropsychologist with expert training and personal experience with depression, I'm really looking forward to checking this out in the next couple weeks.
I don't find the combat or the resource management parts of it very fun, but I really love the story events with the girls. The writing is very good throughout. And as a person who suffers from serious depression, I very much liked the way you handled that part.
❤️
Well this game kind of came out of nowhere for me. Gave it a shot when it came across my feed as another developer I follow gave it a good five stars. The writing is really good the art is beautiful and so far I'm enjoying exploring. Though I will say I have One Singular complaint that takes a bit of explaining. The main character needs an offhand slot for equipment. Despite what rising of The Shield hero and Captain America will make you think a shield is not a main weapon and should not take the place of a sword as well as a sword breaker is a offhand weapon meant to in theory catch the blade of a Rapier and also should not be a main weapon. I wouldn't mind seeing a future update with an offhand slot where these items would instead boost things like fortitude as well increase armor for the midsection maybe adding extra damage when parrying for the swordbreaker.
In my opinion this is one of those games where you play through it thinking, "Yeah this is okay" and then you finish it and you realize just how good it was. I've played practically every text based game on itch and this is one of like two that have had accurate depictions of depression. Literally the only character I didn't like was Melrose and that wasn't even because of bad writing, I just didn't like how familiar she was with the mc. Anyways, amazing job, keep it up.
