I’m delighted to share Honor Bound Chapter 7 on Dashingdon and itch! You can skip any number of chapters to start at the chapter of your choice, or you can play through the whole thing. You can try loading a save you made before this update, but you will probably need to start a fresh one.
If you have a minute, I’d love to hear your feedback! As before, there is some feedback that I’m waiting until later to implement, and a minor character who hasn’t been added in yet, but I always pay attention to all feedback being sent in.
This new demo is around 306,000 words, with Chapter 7 and various edits adding around 43,000 words to the whole thing!
This is going to be the last chapter that I put up publicly before the beta testing begins. I may put up edits to Chapters 1-7 before then, and will implement bugfixes, but we’re getting towards the home stretch now and I’d like playtesters to have the experience of playing all the later chapters so they can have a big-picture perspective on how the branches can go.
In this chapter you will encounter:
- a lot of bad things (more detailed content notes below)
As well as the new chapter, I’ve made some significant edits to earlier chapters in response to player feedback:
Details here
Overall:
- More references to trauma responses when PC’s health is low, more reference to cane use, a bit more flavour text about the injury, more flavour text referring to health improvements to reflect the PC looking after themself
- Chapters 5 and 6: added talk with Denario about the PC being trans if it didn’t happen in Chapter 3
- General typo fixes
Chapter 4
- expanded a branch of the late-chapter Korzha scene for more breathing room
Chapter 5
- added option to medically assess Korzha when they look sick
- minor expansion of conversation with Catarina about what she thinks about the trip
- minor expansion of letter-writing with Fiore
Chapter 6
- tweaked Alva’s assignment offer, with clearer information and potential disadvantages of taking it
- expanded end of Savarel’s one-on-one scene
- fixed an error making end of Korzha’s goodnight scene shorter than intended
- added a choice to enable an amorous PC and Raffi to hide what’s going on from Simone
- added optional one-on-one Denario scene, including optional sex scene
Many thanks to everyone for their feedback - it’s been so helpful! Thanks especially to an anonymous Patreon subscriber who gave some really useful comments about some Chapter 7 one-on-one scenes which inspired me to expand on them and include some extra characterful moments.
Chapter 7 content notes: Earthquake, quicksand, fire, building collapse, potential severe injuries to the PC and others
