Roll Credits.

Just finished the demo, I like it a lot.
I do have some questions. Will we be able to start as just friend with Theo and then later romance them? And also will they be bold/shy flirt options?
Hi there:)
If you accepted to help Theo (by pretending to get engaged) but you started by choosing just the friendship route, there will be later in the story a point where you can reconsider your feelings (but not until chapter 10 or so, after a certain event takes place). But yes, it’s possible. As for the bold/shy options, they will be more obvious with the other romance options (at least for now).
Thank you for the questions and for playing!
P.S. I’m going to make an update later on today introducing the next RO and more interactions with the other leaders

I’m split on whether, I want to play an inventor or a druid.
Why not both? :)) technically you can choose the druid family, then in chapter four, in the forest if you choose to tinker instead of training, you’ll be set as inventor. That means that your magic skills won’t be great and you won’t be a spellcaster, but you’ll still have a stronger bond than average with nature (an some knowledge about herbs and animals)
But if you want to really play the druid route you could do that first. The inventor scenes in later chapters are still in progress so it’ll take a little more time.

In the second choice shouldn’t it be “you silly girl” since Thea is female in my playthrough
In these 2 pages, the same text is repeated
In this page, in the biggest paragraph, the pronouns are incorrect, “he’s” should be “she’s” and “he” should be “she”
Also “helds” should be changed to “holds” since mc is presently holding her gaze
Thank you! I took care of it:)
If there are any other errors, please tell me.
Edit: yep, @Hector_Lopez ,the “his” is also “her” now, I had already seen it when correcting the other mistakes. But really, thank you, it helps a lot for a fresh eye to go through the text (I often get to write only after work when my brain is already tired)
Also, I didn’t notice earlier, in the last screenshot in the biggest paragraph as well “his” should be “her”

I love the story so far. The world and the characters you created are very interesting, the writing is great and I love games where the MC can be a factor in court politics. So my obvious choice of a surname is Sholstail.
I don’t know if you tried to fix the problem or not but the relationship stat for Theo is still exceeding 100% and the name stays as Unknown for me.
Anyway, I’m eagerly waiting for chapter 8. Keep up the good work 
Yes, I tried. Yes, it seems I failed:)))
I realised that I took care of the problem, but then uploaded another file of that chapter in which the changes weren’t made (smart move I know). But now that you said it, I’ll solve it.
Many many thanks for playing it and for your words. If you like politics then I think you’ll enjoy the next chapters especially (when the temple gets involved).
See you around!

That’s great! I have to tell you I don’t trust the temple one bit. I don’t know why, it’s just a hunch. I’m always suspicious when church/ temple/ religion is involved.

Who needs brains/intelligence when you are this strong, am I right

at that level there should be a special scene in which you beat igenzo in training and everyone else near, then go home like a badass because you don’t have time for their petty problems. I would totally write that!
On another note, thanks for playing like that, now I know to adjust those stats😊

The setting is fascinating: I especially like the politics, the personalized forest and castle. The characters are really interesting and I enjoy getting to know them more. I really like the use of flashback device too: it feels very intriguing and natural, though I wish it was more clear that I chose my path in the forest, because I just foolishly locked myself in one that I had low stat, thinking that I was boosting a secondary stat. 
Thank you sososo much for playing and for taking the time to give me feedback. Yeah, I see how it might not be clear enough…guess I’ll have to think of something to change in that chapter. Thank you again, this was really helpful!

holy, this was one hell of a good read. great enough that I’m struggling to come up with appropriate or helpful critism because… what’s there to critise. 
I’m absolutely in love with theo, the romance aspect with him is so brilliant, sweet and gentle. and please, I had to pause for five minutes because I was cackling when the mc said “what do I do? paint them a portrait?” near the ending of the chapter.
overall, absolutely loving this. I was wondering if we could get more physical descriptions of the ROs so we could draw them? I’d be very thankful for that.
edit;; nvm I just remembered to check the tumblr and sweet lord… I’m so single for theo lmao.

I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed it!!!
I’ll update the character page soon and I’ll include the fixed details related to their appearance (the portraits are more like a guide, they include those details, but there are some things that can be changed, depending on your own view about them😊)
I’m so honoured you think about drawing someone from Forgotten Names, I can’t even tell you😭
If you ever want to share them, I’ll be overjoyed (no pressure though, of course😁).
Thank you!

Hello, I’m back here to play through the current game again! I noticed a big bad bug, which I will put into a details section for it took me a while to explain and also contains potential spoilers.
Big Bad Bug
It starts with this scene where you, with your group, go to the Night market and then become surrounded by some guys:
‘I don’t have my spellbook!’, you shout back. Without it, you cannot properly control your powers.
‘I can help you with that!’
Ilzrus runs towards you, extending their hand and grabing your shoulder. ‘I’ll stabilise you!’
You begin to feel their energy gather around you. Yes. This should work.
And the only choice in that scene that I can choose is “Back to one hour ago.” Up to now, nothing seems wrong. My highest stat is Magic, and I chose to specialize in Magic while camping with Theo at the forest, so this scene is as it should be.
But when I click on that one choice, it redirects me to this scene:
‘I don’t have my weapon!’, you shout back, looking for something you could use.
‘Here!’
Selim throws you one of his daggers.
Yes. This should work.
Scenes that shouldn’t be triggered seem to start triggering here. My lowest stat is Military, but I did choose the Military family at the beginning so it might be because of that? And the only choice here is the same “Back to one hour ago.” one. When I click on that, this scene happens:
'What do you want me to do?, you shout back. ‘Paint them a portrait?!’
‘Could you include me, too?’, asks Selim. He is laughing, but you can see he’s begining to grow tired. You look around for something to use.
Here, there are two choices of this scene:
- Even though I’m not as good as a trained fighter, I know a few tricks, so I join them.
- I will help them coordinate.
I didn’t check choice 2, but choice 1 leads to scene:
This should work!
with the only choice Back to one hour ago.. That choice leads to:
This should work!
and the same exact Back to one hour ago. choice again. And this time, the choice leads to this scene:
‘Are you orientationally challenged?!’
There it is. The reaction you’ve been waiting for. You look at Theo.
‘No, I just know lots of unconventional shortcuts’, Selim says, smiling at him.
‘I’m sure we passed this shop at least twice now…’
‘All of them look the same, how do you know…’
‘So you admit you have no clue where we’re going…’
‘We’re lost.’, Ilzrus cuts in, serenely.
‘Thank you!’, Theo exclaims, throwing his hands into the air
And the next button on that scene leads to:
‘Speaking of lost…where’s Ray?’, you ask.
‘True…he should’ve found us by now’, Theo says, nodding his head.
‘Maybe he found a good tavern’, Selim sighs, looking tired.
‘Mmmm…I don’t think so. I’ve been wanting to tell you for a while now, but you were so focused on finding the right direction…’
‘Yes, alright, point taken’, Selim cuts them off in a bitter voice.
‘I’ve been hearing his voice. From there.’, Ilzrus say, pointing straight at big, white pavilion, isolated from the other shops.
Which, at this point of time, I don’t think I’ve met a character named Ray yet. The jumbled scene continues forward as you intended, I think. I didn’t really continue on checking forward the choices since I didn’t want to be spoiled ahead of where I left the bug-free narrative at the surrounded-by-people-and-missing-magic-book scene.
Edit: I’m adding my current stats to maybe help you figure out what went wrong with the scene order or triggers:

YOU ARE A LIFE SAVIOUR!
Thank you so much for taking the time to tell me this, yes, it was a thing with the nested conditionals in the code. Now it should work, if not tell me so I can look at it again.
Again, thank you sososo much!

Aylin is just the perfect character XD. Ever since she got introduced the humor levels went up to 11, even if she managed to almost get folded by a dragon within seconds of meeting them.
