Check that the tenses used in the choices are consistent.


Some may even find your penchant to use words to be ‘a coward’s choice’, particularly older and/ traditional ones.

I’m guessing the / isn’t supposed to be there.

You read my mind completely :open_mouth:


It’s a pretty interesting read, and I do like the artic tribe setting. Even if it’s all just a game.

Good luck.

Thanks lol
Completely unrelated but I love your pfp

I this, this is good. Has about the right amount of torturing the MC, don’t really have anything else to say

Other than shouldn’t it be simply existing instead of simple existing?

Oops yeah lol. Thank for catching that
Also glad you like it. Hopefully the next chapter will calm down, relatively speaking or it’ll become worse

Just finished playing and I really like it so far!

I like that sort of isekai, though seeing what happens if you try to defy the original plot makes me worry for my kind MC…

Afterwards I was trying the choice to just ask Leif and am happy the outcome was far gentler than I worried. Glad savescumming is possible here lol.

Also Leif is so sweet.

Looking forward to more!

Hey there! Firstly, thanks for your thoughts. Haven’t got much feedback on that aspect so really appreciate it

Fate is a strict mistress lol but she’s not opposed to workarounds. So long as the pc has particular stats, it should be possible.
Also, not all quest fail/ decline has penalty

And yeah, i had so much fun writing that scene ngl! First branch i did even. Also what’s savescumming? /gen q

Yes, Leif is a sweetheart :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: Glad you like him

Thanks for playing and taking the time to comment too!

Since this is a demo I can save before I make a choice and if I don’t like it, I can load back before I made that choice. That’s savescumming. At least that’s what I think it is called lol

About your blurry message (I’m not commenting much on the forum so I always forget how to do that myself) I’m glad to hear that!

Really like the concept for the game as well as the quests to hurt Leif and the penalties that follow. I didn’t expect the first penalty to be that severe. I did get this bug when I chose to decline the first quest as a bunny.

I think if you just replace the erikka_limbs variable with the erikka_limbloss you created in the startup.txt the bug should go away

Firstly, thanks you! And im glad(?) it surprised you. Someone commented (I’m gonna paraphrase) that the game feels like you’re constantly moments away from unravelling/ disaster

And yeah, thanks for catching that! That was actually the original variable’s name but i decided to change it cause of something that’ll happen in chap 3

Also, wait, do you mean first penalty as in for the first quest or for the first option?

Oh and files have been updated!

Sorry about that, I meant the first penalty as in what happens when you choose to decline the first quest about the scarring

Ahh, i see i see

Quick lil sketches of Leif and Sigurd. Honestly it was both fun and difficult coming up with how to design/ portray them

Plus my style is kinda cutesy which doesn’t really suit Sigurd as much as Leif lol

Of course, y’all are free to interpret/ imagine the characters how you wish.

Ta-daa
