AKFBFJSNCBDJSBCHEJS NO WORDS I JUST LOVE THIS WIP SO MUCH WTF AND THE CHARACTERS AND STORY IS SO WELL FLESHED OUT I CANāT
I canāt wait to see how things go. THE AMOUNT OF LORE IN THIS GAME IS AGGRESSIVE SQUEEZING AND PATTING
I am so glad I came across this. Itās a masterpiece chefās kiss
KWDNCUSISBDHS WAITING FOR THE NEXT UPDATE. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
Having a lot of fun learning about the world and setting! Just wanted to let you know that thereās a bug in chapter 2 when you arrive at the festival with just Caine - specifically, it looks like the conditionals for if Calla came along got mixed up when waiting at the fountain after sending the letter. Very interesting premise, and I always love having the opportunity to play a reluctant character. Definitely looking forward to seeing any future updates :]
Minor update to the demo!
*if ((savesbroken = true) and (readerannoyed = true))
Iām so sorry to have killed your saves once moreā¦
*else
yippee (a stat I added might not have registered & triggered for u then)
Iāve been locked in, but the progress is still slow even when I have time. Iām not a powerhouse, Iām the opposite of a mitochondria
The more variables, the longer it takes to test lol. I spent more time testing than writing, itās crazyā¦
-I tidied up my writing so it shrunk again, but your overall playthrough is a lilā longer (spring cleaning era fr). Itād be 59.9k but I always round down
- Killed more bugs/errors. They never end, just like my agony.
- Edited prior chaptersāmost notably added variations to the festival if you donāt get along w/ Caine or choose a certain choice
- Rebalanced the festival variables so you can do more things in 1 playthrough (idk lemme know if itās too much or too little +if ur doing it with Calla or not)
- Attempted to make it less clicky by doing away with most of the ellipses page breaks (I kinda miss 'em)
- I added a cool, useless graphic in a stats page :D! (was gonna use it instead of the ellipses page breaks but eh, too extra)
Word count: ~213k (~59k per playthrough)
Priv demo relevant:
- Rewrote/added to the choice āYou want to stay in the army?ā
Word count: ~237k (~64k per playthrough)
The unique additions of the deleted scene: +~4.3k
Thank you for the stats! And thanks for the aggressive squeezing and patting
The enthusiasm is infectious, it made me smile c: Iām glad you liked what youāve read, the interest from you guys mean the world to meākeeps me writing even through all that doom scrolling and 1 sec attention span ahaha
I hope the rest of ch4 will be worth the wait!! Because Man Am I Wrestling With It.
Itās like battling a hydra, I just keep makin more bugs every time I add/change something (if itās not broke, donāt fix it
) Thanks for the help!
Glad you had fun reading! I started this IF because I wanted to play a character not having a good time lol (though thereās a lot of those out there, I wanted a diff flavor)
I donāt know if you are aware in your bug squashing quest, but you canāt open the game on cogdemos right now.
If your getting the opps message you need to use a fresh link cause visiting the site i was able to use that link. There was a recent update to cogdemos that messed with old links.
Oddly enough, it seems fine on my end. Do you have an error message or a screenshot you could show?
Iām not even familiar with this bug haha thank you
Is this a thing I can/should prevent or itās a server side sorta error?
I dont know much but from what ive seen posted by others its a cogdemos site update that messed with demos. But when i checked earlier using your most recent update link it worked for me.
Did you remove the app from your device then use the new link for the most recent update?
That should solve your issue.
I believe youāre supposed to put /mygame at the end of the URL. I had this bug with other games and that fixed it.

Ohhh I see what the problem is. I just gotta change the places I used the old link. Thanks for the help everyone! Should be updated everywhere now.
Maybe I shouldāve used CoGDemosā alternate āgoā link, but I like having a desc. if you hover lol
@AnneWest TY! Seeing everyoneās collated stats, I may rebalance how I attributed Reiās like stat in the future. I did it atypically because I suspect content with them would be quite different from the othersābut in practice for when I write, hm. Much to think abt
Thanks. Here are my stats.

Enjoying the demo once more but came across something thats thrown me off cause i dont recall it being like this in the past. After rei kills celens creator and rulers and encounters therra are they suppost to be constantly shifting gender pronouns?
If you thought Rei was the one changing pronouns, itās actually Therra :))
Lol nah i wasnt talking about reiās pronouns
Minor update to the demo!
I patched a minor bug for the fes w/ Calla path if u do everything/nothing & back out of shopping without having bought anything. Hopefully that didnāt create new problems, the coding got confusing lol
But I liked writing for what happens if u do that instead of forcing u to buy something. Have some unresolved issues, Summoner. Itās good for ur character arc. (or just donāt)
This wonāt be in the itchio builds until the next catastrophic bug so uhh just indulge in capitalism. Itās an annoying process to zip multiple builds, my apologies.
On the flipside, I edited a bit more janky text and typos. Tossed that into the patch. One step closer to having a reading session without sighing to myself every few seconds :D!
Thank you very much c:
Everyone really likes brushing snow off Caineās head haha. Whatās the appeal vs the other options?
Yep, Therra is just quirkyā:trade_mark: like that. They do whatever They want for fun (Rei would say to not ascribe logic to these beings, but theyāre biased so)
This makes me think it might be fun coding a *rand variable for Therra, I might do that for some parts one day.
