Sordwin by Thom Baylay

Gods dammit, not again!

You race across the square, stopping to crouch behind the low wall of the fountain, scanning the rooftops. The sky is pitch black but you’ll see it if it’s there.

There’s no movement and then you hear the shriek coming from behind the Mayor’s house. You whip around and the sight sends your heart plummeting.

A bright light, like a lantern in the dark…


Welcome to Sordwin, the second story in the saga that began with Evertree Inn. In this fantasy mystery, you reprise your role as reluctant (or eager) investigator into the secrets of an island town. Sordwin is now available for purchase on Steam, App Store and GooglePlay.

  • Meet a new cast of characters whose very lives could depend on your decisions.
  • Pursue romance, collect clues or try to rob the place blind.
  • Open-world style exploration on an even bigger scale, where the places and interactions you ignore matter as much as the ones you explore.

I am so excited to see this Thom, this was one of my favorite games that led me to start reading choice and hosted games and join the community and I cannot wait to be able to settle down with this and to see the full game later in the year.

Thank you

@ThomB - I believe this is not your contest entry, correct? You might want to mention that here, in this thread, for those that do not visit social media sites.

Congratulations on everything, regardless.

You can’t help it. In spite of yourself you are crushing hard on Orion. This is likely to end badly…

I really need to start replaying Evertree. I wonder if my MC will find a new RO for her. She was unsuccessful with Dandy with the first one. :sweat_smile:

Edited: Wrong RO. :pensive:

Evertree Inn was rather rigid and linear in its narrative and had far too few ROs but it was by no means a bad story and I quite enjoyed the mystery and detective work that could still trip you up on replays if you were lacking certain clues.

Hopefully with this sequel, you’ll allow the player more freedom and perhaps a wider variety of ROs and ways to engage in their routes.

Will be keeping an eye on this with hopes that you’ll continue to keep up the good work.

I haven’t played in a long time and I don’t remember an Orion character. Someone needs to refresh my memory!

YAY new game! :fox_face:
Evertree Inn was amazing, was hoping for a sequel.
Also, Love Daisy :heart: , dont know why and dont care. Shes simply ( if not the first) one of my favorite COG characters.
Thanks a lot @ThomB. Cant wait to buy it.

Haven’t really combed for errors or anything but this should be adjusted–not many trans people introduce themselves with “I’m trans,” you should have the trans qualifier in the “narration” of the choice and let the verbal answer just be the MC’s gender

A few things:

Summary

You head over to Daisy who has made no effort to follow Ruby’s instruction of covering up and so you prod you her in her flat stomach. She sits up sharply and with a scowl.

I think you should remove this “you”.


Daisy’s eyes light up as she swings down from your bunk and opens the door. She wasn’t kidding. The redhead is a human, taller than the two of you and with

There is a text missing here.

I Bought the game 6 hours ago and finished it with much gusto and I can very much say I’m excited for this sequel! Excited to travel more of the world with Lamuel (I’d love him more if he can pick up my slack on the combat department, I’m as frail as a twig :smile: )On the subject of saves, will there be an update to Evertree inn to include a “Save your Character” at the end or am I missing something?

Looks like I’ll have to read Evertree Inn again. :slight_smile: I’m looking forward to seeing this sequel published.

I think I mistaken Orion with someone else. I meant was with Dandy. XD Oh boy… I really need to refresh my memory.

@cottoncandy I apologize for confusion. XD I meant was Dandy. There’s no Orion in the first one.

After the first draft is sent to CoG they will update the game with the save feature.

Thank you everyone for all the positive feedback so far!

In particular, thank you @Urban and @HomingPidgeon for your comments and screenshots. I’ll amend these in the full version and update the demo too asap.

Have a great weekend everyone!

I found more:

Summary

And so with nothing to your name but your pony, your trusty and one hell of a right hook, you set off on the road to Lux.

I think there is a missing text after trusty.


Daisy might be your number one but that doesn’t mean you haven’t got a two, three and four and the women serving under Captain Kiora are both wild and exciting

Isn’t it Captain Ruby?

So great to see the sequel to this up and running. Enjoyed the first a lot and this one looks to follow that trend.
