Great demo! I love Havard and Lexia and can't wait to have more interactions with them. The customization options are great, and I love the variety of choices. Looking forward to reading more!
As an avid fan of this sort of media, I feel comfortable calling this maybe THE best demo I have ever played. An astounding 10/10, an experience I was genuinely hooked on and emotionally invested in. Excited to see more!
Как скипнуть несколько лет, чтобы уже завтра поиграть в полную версию?
Ах, мечты. Но история реально вкусная и пробивающая на слезы.
Если к тому времени вся эта хтонь с мировыми войнами закончится и если это история все же будет платной, я смогу спокойно отдать свои деньги вам и нести с гордостью статус иностранного агента.
Hello! I just wanted to point out an error in spelling (I hope that isn't annoying), I thought you'd rather know than to just continue on? Unless you already noticed. In Chapter 3 with Ethel and Havard: "Ethel nodded. She seemed to consider this a perfectly normal reaction. All thighs considered, it could have gone a lot better."
I don't know if you fixed it already, but I just wanted to let you know. Have a good timezone!
So I know that deadline is kinda the murderer in any creative project, but I still would like to know if you at least have a planned release date for the full release and how close are you to finish at least writing the whole thing. The story is quite good so far as it goes and I'd like to know more about when I will get to see the rest of it. And, obviously I'd like to thank you for your good work.
The story is being actively written (as the devlog shows), some days more than others. All on my free time and for fun. Currently, I have a bit of C4 and that is it.
I have no DL, but I will be honest, it will be several years unless I this is the only thing I focus on. Which it will not be unless something drastic happens in my life, and then I would need to monetize heavily.
This is easily one of my favorite IF games that I've seen! I last checked in I believe before any Tales of the Past stuff was released and when C2 was the most recent chapter, and I love C3 SO MUCH (I'm not reading Tales of the Past yet since I like reading the main story before any prequel or prologue stuff, but I'm sure it's also great!) I think it's mainly the writing and choices that make the game feel really good for me. Like the imagery included is just WOW and I reaaaallllyyyy love the pacing :]
I would like to ask, will there be more small choices in the future? I understand why it might've felt like there weren't many choices in C1-C3 since there was a lot of exposition and worldbuilding, and with how advanced the choices were and how detailed the writing is, I can see why this was more of a quality over quantity kinda thing, but there were times when it felt like there was just a biiiiiit too much wait between choices, so maybe just sprinkle in a few small choices that don't really affect anything but stats and stuff like that. Maybe. Perhaps. :] BUT I UNDERSTAND IF THAT'S TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR BECAUSE THIS GAME IS SO GOOD ALREADY I THINK EVERYTHING IS GREAT :D
Very happy to hear all that :D I am honored at such high praise. I will try to remember to include small choices. It is just a habit that they tend to balloon out to include so many options so I try to streamline at times :D Gotta try to control myself!
I think I've played through this at least a hundred times now, and I'm beyond hooked on every aspect of it! So excited for more!
P.S. Do you think you'll ever end up adding more color choices to the heritage features? Like choosing a color for our draconic features, the color of our hair glow, or the color of garuda wings, for example? I'm just asking because of personal preference, though I know this can basically be supplemented with imagination.
I did consider it at some point, but decided I already have enough complications :D I think now I know the data structures a bit more, and it would be easier. But this seems like something to do when doing coding revisions which will need to be done at some point :D
I've been following this story for a few months now and I have to say I really love it and it's quickly become one of my favorite IFs! My only complaint is that I do feel we get a bit too many pov switches. I do enjoy pov switches in moderation and when they contribute to the story, but I don't really feel like all of the ones we get do that necessarily
Happy to hear you like the story so far! Very honored to be among your favorites :D
Perfectly valid criticism. I do perhaps overindulge in POV:s since I rather like writing them :D But as I one of the posts about C3 said, I think here, there are some problems with the pacing due to this habit :D
I think after C2 I asked a poll about povs in which majority of people were ok with them or indifferent at the very least :D But of course, many more people now. And I think that was specifically about when MC is "coping." I found it, here.
I would say that the best way to use POVs is to show those of the characters present with the MC and outside of those situations (and the interludes obviously) only on occasions like Lexia's POVs in The first and second chapters and Havard's at the beginning of the third, honestly the POVs seem like a good resource to me but somewhat complicated to use
About the Dryad codex entry, it mentions that they only reveal themselves to those they trust and fellow creatures of nature, what qualifies as a creature of nature? Do Beastkin, Elves, Dragons, Kitsune, Elementals or is it solely other Dryads? If so then with the appropriate heritage features would they reveal themselves to the us?
Also I enjoyed the Sheo interlude, thank you for writing.
Thank you! Happy to hear the interlude was interesting.
I think that line was more about natural things i.e. beasts and such rather than supernatural beings. Perhaps I should give this some more thought :D
Current thoughts:
I would say, an entire race does not qualify and there is more consideration to be had. For example, a fire elemental is probably not super welcome amidst dryads :D A rock elemental? Probably harmless.
But beastkin, elves and fey are probably more likely to see one, though not guaranteed or even close. Disregarding personal power of course.
However, I think MC with the dryad heritage could perhaps get a glimpse. Or with some other heritage, if they seem to enjoy the forests.
I liked chapter 3. You went a bit overboard with the pee/poop jokes...well, what else can you expect from a street rat, right? So I guess I understand why she is like that. The cliffhanger is absolutely hellish, of course. Almost a year of waiting...and we still haven't met the twins. Oh well, I hope you don't abandon this game, because I can't wait to learn more about the world and the characters you write.
A small request. Could you post a downloadable version? I'd like to try all the other dialogue options when I don't have internet.
Glad to hear you liked it :D Even if the jokes were a bit too much.
Sorry, but at the moment I will not post a downloadable version, I would need to make a different cleaned up version, the game file has stuff not meant for the public yet and in an downloadable version all of it could be peeked at much easier. I might do it if enough people want it, but in the current state I will not post a downloadable file.
I don't know if it will help you, but if you keep your browser open without reloading the page, the game will continue to work without problems. Just avoid using the restart option since the game can't reload without internet so I would recommend making a save at the beginning of chapter 1 or the havard interlude
(Sorry if something sounds weird but English is not my first language)
Wow so much to say.. I absolutely LOVE how this is written. The constant introspection, the hilarious moments of innocent curiosity (the MC in the garden and bath), and how the blend of such heart wrenching cruelty into the wonderful softness just is wow. The small nods to the LGBT community and Irosia along with the Madam's protective notes... You have made me very excited to see where this all leads. Thank you for gracing my eyes with this lovely bit of a story :3
WHY DID YOU CUT IT IN THE GOOD PART?!?, I should be mad at you but... The way you write is just too good and I know the wait will be worth it.
Anyway, in the meantime I will leave a representation of my character that will be waiting for the next chapter made in another game.(I made it as similar as possible)
You're welcome, on the other hand ((after seeing the website) ToW isn't taking any real risks with the whole MasterCard thing, that's all more geared towards NSFW content so as long as you don't make any sexually explicit content (I don't know if you will do it at some point) you will be more or less safe, or at least that's what I understand, I don't know if the situation has changed in these weeks
For whatever reason the name of this story refuses to stick for us and then like reading the blurb again trying to remember which story this is we hit the "You can add elements of fantasy races to your character's appearance, such as a tail, wings, pointy ears and many more." and it comes rushing back as a huge favorite causing a great yippie seeing an update
Also i must say the coping mechanism aspect is genius! I havent read any other IF that are this realistic and in depth about trauma. Truly 10/10 cant wait for more
I like the customization options in this game, but of course i have to ask something rather stupid: will there be an option to play as a transgender character?
Happy to hear you like the customization :D It was a lot of work. For your question, I am copying what I said on the blog about this:
"
The current plan is that once MC is an adult, there will be an option to choose who you have grown into, similar to the initial choice in the first interlude, none of them locked based on your initial choice.
It will of course be a long time before we are there.
It's well written, that's for sure. I think it's the only IF I've read that has children with realistic childlike minds. I'm not fond of multiple POVs - it's usually enough to scare me off a work of fiction, but it's not the case here.
The only thing that I don't like is mechanic of coping mechanisms. Especially the laughter part. In this case madness reads as synonymus to craziness, which is basically a not-so-nice name for a mental illness. It feels like the game is implying that you can choose to become mentally ill? I know I'm probably looking too deeply at it, but I can't help it. It bothers me quite a lot. Especially since coping through humour might be one of more healthy mechanisms (not saying it's healthy, just that it's less harmful than a bunch of other options). I'd redo the mechanic to be something more like... Externalized (destructive) vs internalized (self-destructing), uncontrolled emotions vs emotionless, avoidant vs conflict seeking. Something like that?
Thank you for the feedback! I will take it into consideration when the time for revisions comes. Nothing is set in stone after all, but of course I am not doing revisions at the moment.
I really like this. My only comment is during the mirror scene, it could be a bit more clear which what order(?) to choose features. I pressed "what the hell is that" first and had to rewind a bit to get my eye color and stuff.
I'd love if in the game there was an option for perhaps hissing or maybe growling from the beastkin traits as a panic response?
I think you can do the eye color after the heritage features and vice versa. Or that is the way it is supposed to be, unless there is a bug. Sure there could be some more flavor text doing it the other way.
Oh my god you're so right! Hissing or maybe chirping would be adorable- It's been in my mind as that's what the Feral Child does, but I never thought to ask for it LOL
glad you like the game :D The version here is only up until C2. The demo with early access to Chapter 3 is currently only available through Kofi. Please see the update on the blog. Or on the corresponding status update.
It will still be some time before C3 will become publicly accessible, I don't have an exact date. I am arguing writing one more location for the tour.
I will investigate the name thing and typos. Actually I think I have fixed both already :D Maybe, I will need to test it out. The loose hair thing should have been fixed already for the kofi demo at some point. So did this come up recently? Or on an old save?
Firstly, these are spoilers for C3 from KoFi. People who do not want to see, do not look at the screencaps. Please do not post any more spoilers from C3 to the public demo thread.
Secondly, thank you for the bugs :D.
Thirdly, In the future, please use the google forms provided for bugs, for example above in the game description. That has been created specifically for this so organizing what bugs I have fixed becomes much easier for me.
Edit: And once again, is this the newest version of the demo? Because I cannot get either of those coding errors, so is it due to my choices or them having already been fixed.
Jesus Christ, it shouldn't be surprising that children being tortured is so deeply affecting but apparently it's a real trigger for me. The way I fucking sobbed at the reaction to the scissors. I'm talking full on snot coming out I was crying that hard. Extraordinarily well written.
Also, in the start of chapter one in response to nudity I'd love a response more in line with when he is being given stuff later, just a general acceptance of his nudity because he has been kept that way for so long. I really like the responses where the MC considers themselves sub-human because of the way they have been treated. It strikes me as one of the fundamental responses to trauma to take that burden on yourself, that there must have been something wrong with you to "make" people treat you that way.
Thank you for the kind comment! I am having a good morning, and therefore the following option will be added to C1 (and about 250 unique words since this choice adds some flavor text to a few places) whenever I update the next time :D Though I did not look at what I wrote later when being given stuff.
Aww, that's so amazing! After reading what was available I immediately went to Ko-fi to read chapter 3. It continues to be great. The small hints of hope that the MC can have, but combined with significant setbacks (always going to happen when recovering from trauma) are very well portrayed. And the overarching mystery of what the MCs kidnappers were trying to uncover and what they did to the MCs body to create that reaction to mana continue to intrigue.
I know the project is in its infancy and I try not to get my hopes up about works in progress, given how many fall by the wayside, but know that you have an amazing concept and your writing style is very engaging. I can't wait to see the opportunity available for interaction with the twins. My MC is very distrustful of the adults around him, but I can see him being able to open up more to the twins, Atru especially.
Happy to hear C3 was not horrible, even in the current state :D The writing sessions there was so disjointed so I was worried! Though I already noticed some bugs, but if you did not trust the adults, it will not have been so noticeable :D Well the one I found at least, I am sure there is more. That variable had a typo in a few spots that always lead to MC being very suspicious.
Well done. That last scene was the most unsettling thing I've ever read. Not to mention, the way you tell the story from a child's POV is so well written. I'm obsessed!! Can't wait for more!
I sometimes wonder why people think I'm weird, and then I remember I read this kind of stuff.
Now seriously, this is simply a work of art, the way you narrate and describe the story is simply beautiful, although I can't afford it, no matter how much I want to, I hope you receive a lot of support to continue with your amazing work.

If you end up starting a patreon page I would definitely support you, this newest chapter was brilliant. Can't wait for more.
One of my favorite story.... Hopeful for more
Happy one year anniversary I really loved getting to see more of lord sheo so far he's The best character
Happy one yr anniversary! I hope my mc gets to be a custodian!
Happy Anniversary!!

Thank you for the representation too :D
You're welcome, on the other hand ((after seeing the website) ToW isn't taking any real risks with the whole MasterCard thing, that's all more geared towards NSFW content so as long as you don't make any sexually explicit content (I don't know if you will do it at some point) you will be more or less safe, or at least that's what I understand, I don't know if the situation has changed in these weeks
that style leaves me feeling some degrees of familiarity...

The update made me scream with joy! I've been meaning to comment, but I haven't of yet for some reason. I wish you well, Creator!
im hooked, so happy to have seen an update but dangit! it was a tease ;-; right at the meeting between the little ones. my heart
Also i must say the coping mechanism aspect is genius! I havent read any other IF that are this realistic and in depth about trauma. Truly 10/10 cant wait for more
I love love love this game 🤌🤌
You are so an amazing writer and it's so gripping! Literally me crying at some parts. Can't wait for the next update!

Hi,
Thank you!
I think you can do the eye color after the heritage features and vice versa. Or that is the way it is supposed to be, unless there is a bug. Sure there could be some more flavor text doing it the other way.
I will consider the hissing :D
Oh my god you're so right! Hissing or maybe chirping would be adorable- It's been in my mind as that's what the Feral Child does, but I never thought to ask for it LOL
I want to know why I can only open chapter 2, I really love this game and I want to try the latest version.ToT.Thank you for your help
Hi,
glad you like the game :D The version here is only up until C2. The demo with early access to Chapter 3 is currently only available through Kofi. Please see the update on the blog. Or on the corresponding status update.
It will still be some time before C3 will become publicly accessible, I don't have an exact date. I am arguing writing one more location for the tour.
awww,thankyou so much ><
Hi, thank you! For the bugs and support!
I will investigate the name thing and typos. Actually I think I have fixed both already :D Maybe, I will need to test it out. The loose hair thing should have been fixed already for the kofi demo at some point. So did this come up recently? Or on an old save?
Firstly, these are spoilers for C3 from KoFi. People who do not want to see, do not look at the screencaps. Please do not post any more spoilers from C3 to the public demo thread.
Secondly, thank you for the bugs :D.
Thirdly, In the future, please use the google forms provided for bugs, for example above in the game description. That has been created specifically for this so organizing what bugs I have fixed becomes much easier for me.

Jesus Christ, it shouldn't be surprising that children being tortured is so deeply affecting but apparently it's a real trigger for me. The way I fucking sobbed at the reaction to the scissors. I'm talking full on snot coming out I was crying that hard. Extraordinarily well written.
Also, in the start of chapter one in response to nudity I'd love a response more in line with when he is being given stuff later, just a general acceptance of his nudity because he has been kept that way for so long. I really like the responses where the MC considers themselves sub-human because of the way they have been treated. It strikes me as one of the fundamental responses to trauma to take that burden on yourself, that there must have been something wrong with you to "make" people treat you that way.
Thank you for the kind comment! I am having a good morning, and therefore the following option will be added to C1 (and about 250 unique words since this choice adds some flavor text to a few places) whenever I update the next time :D Though I did not look at what I wrote later when being given stuff.
Aww, that's so amazing! After reading what was available I immediately went to Ko-fi to read chapter 3. It continues to be great.

I know the project is in its infancy and I try not to get my hopes up about works in progress, given how many fall by the wayside, but know that you have an amazing concept and your writing style is very engaging. I can't wait to see the opportunity available for interaction with the twins.

Happy to hear C3 was not horrible, even in the current state :D The writing sessions there was so disjointed so I was worried! Though I already noticed some bugs, but if you did not trust the adults, it will not have been so noticeable :D Well the one I found at least, I am sure there is more. That variable had a typo in a few spots that always lead to MC being very suspicious.
Ohhhh my God this is sooo good, I cannot. Gonna have to sit with my thoughts to process but wow!
Your story has already made me tear up, i look forward to more ;-;
Well done. That last scene was the most unsettling thing I've ever read. Not to mention, the way you tell the story from a child's POV is so well written. I'm obsessed!! Can't wait for more!
I sometimes wonder why people think I'm weird, and then I remember I read this kind of stuff.
Now seriously, this is simply a work of art, the way you narrate and describe the story is simply beautiful, although I can't afford it, no matter how much I want to, I hope you receive a lot of support to continue with your amazing work.
I don't see why reading this would make you weird, I think it just means you have good taste LOL! I also am a huge fan of this IF, it's so cool!
