Minor update to the demo!
Some changes were before I started noting changes down sooo this is just the most interesting/relevant changes I remember.

I think I bricked all the saves on codemos rip.

If you play between the priv & public demos on itchio, things might be buggy idk (wasn’t able to bug test this much because it’s confusing lol–either way, clearing cookies would prob solve things but erase ur saves. pls report bugs anyway)


-I cut down on some redundant passages to tidy up my code so the word count shrunk by ~5k (but I wrote more so the overall word count didn’t noticeably change lol)

  • Fixed some bugs, errors, etc.
  • Edits to phrasing, coding, & choices
  • Changed some stat dependent text to choices, added some new ones
  • Changed some contents of the scene where you talk to Caine on the way to Celen (mostly w/o Calla route)
  • Added an alternate stat dependent scene that triggers if you asked Caine what they wanted to do at the festival but didn’t get cider by the time you ran out of money–this impacts a subsequent choice
  • The itchio versions now have save systems like Dashingdon (All thnx to the same person who made choiceIDE & reblogs sharing such lol)

Word count: ~217k (~58k per playthrough)


Priv demo relevant:

  • I scrapped the alt scenes/dialogue you get with Jackal & Caine if your Caine rel was >=70 after Rei’s 2nd POV so it shrunk by ~4.3k (ATM unsatisfied with how that thread modifies that plot so it’ll either stay scrapped or be repurposed into other scenes, not sure. You can still choose to read it in the quickskip option for now)
  • Added choices about your “hobby” (lack thereof) when you’re having trouble sleeping
  • Added an alternate stat dependent scene to when you tell Jackal off
  • Added Jackal POVs

Word count: ~236k (~64k per playthrough)
+the unique additions of the deleted scene = ~240k
