@stuartmartyn Cograts! I absolutely love this story.
I don’t know if this is the right place to say this now that you’ve entered the beta butI was particularly impressed by the reactions that the ROs have to the different options for the MC’s origin. I noticed that in the demo Kruach and Caryatid don’t seem to make comments on it yet. I know you mentioned their romances aren’t as frontloaded as the others, but I have to admit I’ve been curious what each of them might say..
Thank you! This is arguably the best time to make suggestions/constructive criticisms/etc as I’m editing anyway.
(Pointing out typos and bugs in the public version is probably less useful right now as it’s out of date).
Hello!
Awesome game, I really like it! Super interesting and bingeable.
However, i have a question/criticism? I don’t really see the point of the “A way out” stat.
In my first playthrough it stayed at a good ol 10%, and i still met Rangdan and was able to discover the way out of hell. I’m guessing that’s a mandatory thing that happens in every playthrough. However if so, why even waste time/energy to choose options that raise it? I wanted to do a second playthrough where i focus on it specifically, but now I don’t see the point.Unless of course it unlocks something else in the end, but then I don’t see why my character with 10% of it can still choose (in the future, i assume) to just escape hell.
That’s my biggest nitpick, but the game is really good and I can’t wait for the release!
@Myata_Myatnya Thank you!
Mid-to-high A Way Out unlocks quite a lot of variant endings. Endings in general aren’t present in the version playable here; you’ll have to wait for the full release (which is not far off!).
Most, but not all, involve you leaving hell or ‘opening the door’ for others to do so. The most simple I’m happy to reveal; just walk away from it all, optionally with a friend/romance in tow. There are other ways this stat can go, however, especially for a warmonger.
It’s quite hard to achieve these endings and take/break the Throne currently and this is somewhat by design. That said, I am constantly tweaking the difficulty as we beta test. I don’t want the game to be too easy, given the setting and themes, but I don’t want to make players frustrated or miserable either. It’s a delicate balance.
Ooh got it, thanks!!
Are there any news on when the full release will happen? Like will it be next few weeks or months? hopefully not years 
Weeks/months. Absolutely not years. The game is fully written and currently in beta testing, but even when that ends there’s also factors I can’t control; art, copyediting, etc so I can’t give you a concrete timeframe. CoG may also want to space out releases a bit.
Actually, I’ll take this opportunity to thank everyone in the beta test. I know at least some of you will read this. It’s been very helpful. Expect a new version in a day or two!
