@Samuel_H_Young Will The Cruel Guardians released on Steam?

That’s all up to Hosted Games, but hopefully. I believe it mostly depends on how good the game looks to them and how popular the WIP was

Great game i was wondering tho will we be able gain power and infulence say if the anarchist overthrow a minor lord and a small scale civil war breaks out over land and it build from there

The first noble they’ll try to overthrow is you

Im not usually a fan of IFs made in this format (a series of scenarios one after another) but the way the new events are so well connected really works out! Out of any of the kingdom management works out there this one is definitely my favorite!

I do have a question though, are all romances heterosexual? I’m on chapter 8 now and I’ve had MULTIPLE chances to flirt with the thief noble girl and Flai, but other than dancing with Borik (I didn’t slow dance, admittedly)
I haven’t had a chance to build a romance with him, or any other guys really

I’m glad :slight_smile: it is structured as consecutive scenes that are not entirely related, but my goal is for them to slowly coalesce into one big picture as the story progresses

There will be more opportunities for flirting as the story progresses. Most of the romances are slow burns and do not necessarily progress at the same rate. All the ROs are player sexual, too

Hey, I’m only asking here because I haven’t found an answer anywhere else, so sorry if I’m in the wrong place. I’ve been looking for the story the author created some time ago called ‘The Pernicious Panacea’. To the best of my knowledge this is pretty much lost media, ever since Tales shut down. Can anyone help find a copy of the IF, or is it genuinely lost for good?

Good question. I couldn’t find it too. And I didn’t want to download a random apk on some website. I wanted an official source even if I had to buy it. Please let me know too if someone has some info @Samuel_H_Young

Unfortunately, The Pernicious Panacea is dead, and you guys figured that out before me. :confused: however, I do have plans to resurrect it here as “Matriarchal”

Are you planning to follow the exact same storyline or are you thinking of changing it?

It will have the same characters and a similar, but much different plot at the same time

If I remember correctly I ised to play it here on the forums as Mass Mother Murderer before things went sideways and you got banned. I was waiting for your return by the way @Samuel_H_Young . And as always, you never disappoint with your games.
