Thanks very much!!! I’m so glad you like it. I’m actually going to change the stifling society elements that are already in there to be nonexistent; I’ve gotten some private feedback from enby folks etc. that they prefer escapism over realism. Everything else, I’ll try to keep accurate! I very appreciate the kind comments and I hope you continue to enjoy this! <3

There’s going to be at least one path exploring that, yes

I can imagine the weird looks you might get from respectable Victorian society, but within the groups and associations that know about demons, magic, charms, monsters and the like, someone not adhering to your personal Western code of gender shouldn’t really be surprising, especially since nbism isn’t a modern concept.

Yep! I’m going to do my best to make it more like that. I’ll try to update it by today <3

Who doesn’t love a good Victorian era fantasy story- I love the idea and what is in the demo so far is really great, just one thing when you put in your name it lists only your first name but when you put in your last name it gets replaced by your last name and doesn’t show your first name, other than that I cant wait to see how this story develops

Great catch; thanks!
6-28-19: Added a small scene at the end. Added a few lore pages in the stats. Took suggestions for changing the wording around NB characters. Took out all paragraphs about the difficulties NBs might have in Victorian period.

A detective game based in the Victorian era? Color me interested!
Any chances of us getting a small summary on the romantic interests? Or is that too spoiler-y?
Also, is Jack one of them (without us knowing)? -> That one is almost definitely a spoiler but… ya know… gotta ask for science.

@zionmantis First I want to say that I really like your Pearl avatar, she is one of my favorite characters from the show!
Now, about the WiP itself; honestly it’s too soon for me to tell if I like it or not. The idea of it does sound very interesting, but what you’ve got so far wasn’t enough for me to know whether I like it or not. Maybe once there’s more then I can figure out for sure if I like it or not.

I quite like how you went about the exposition. Even though it’s something of an aside, it’s brief enough, and the language enchanting enough (a strength throughout the whole demo), that it blends well with the story. This demo is altogether a delightful introduction to the setting, definitely going to keep an eye on this one!
sneaky edit - That title is golden too!

I’m excited about this game! It’s a time period I really enjoy playing in and as I’ve played Study in Steampunk approximately twenty times, I’m glad to see something new in the area. Your writing is wonderful - poetic without being rambling purple prose - and I’m excited by the different characters and backgrounds. As this is just the demo and beginning of the story, the several pages in a row without a choice weren’t really a problem, but it’s something to keep in mind as you go on. I’m looking forward to seeing where this goes!
