Beta 2.0 now live!


This revised version of the beta incorporates a number of improvements in response to results from the first round of playtesting. HUGE thanks to playtesters Crypt-glitch, Peter M.J. Gross, Una, and Arthurianmaiden for their time and wonderful feedback!

(Minor spoilers below)

  • Added a brand new map illustration to aid with exploration throughout the game.
  • Added in-game guidance to clarify that certain choices will not limit your romance options. (You can date the person you like and still be friends with everyone else; and you can also acknowledge romantic feelings for multiple people!)
  • Added a new dialogue flow to the Epilogue that allows the player to consult their love interest before making a certain story decision that could affect their relationship.
  • Improved hinting and visual/textual aids will now guide players through completing certain puzzles in Chapter 2 and Chapter 6.
  • Corrected a handful of bugs around the visibility of certain dialogue options (a couple of which were preventing story progression!).
  • Corrected a variety of typos.

Thanks again to the testers! Now the game is ready for round two of playtesting.
