can i ask how can we spend the birthday evening with marter? I picked all the choices that adds marter relationship but the option is still unselectable :(( I even looked into the codes but I’m not sure what to do

You cant yet, I still need to finish almost all of the birthday variants :sob: the only one that is mostly finished is the ambitious route and the solo party :frowning:

But did you manage to get together with him (during the rain punishment)? I also need to add something for the routes that didnt get that scenes, which will sadly take a while.
I cant work on my laptop anymore which limits my writing time to the evenings after work xX

So I played the ambition route and my god. What happend there at the end. This was so fucked up. Poor MC. No one deserves that. :pleading_face:

i dont know what ending you got but there are actually four different endings just for the choice on the balcony, which one did you get? (in some routes you will be able to get revenge, i am currently writing the whole ambitious route!)

Think my MC got raped and jumped down the balcony. Got turned by creepy girl.

How can I unlock this option? It’s just that every time I play, it’s blocked

“Because this way I maybe can really change something! If I get the right people to listen to me!”

It is selectable if your MC has been highly critical of the cult so far!

When I played Chase’s route with an intimate scene at the end, I thought it would be great to add a variant where MC would be uncomfortable. (if we have been following the path of ambition before). I just went to a club and there was a similar scene with another character.

There should be some variations for that, good to know it’s not working ID

Also, if I select the “Back off” (intimate scene with Chase) option, it loops until I choose another option"

My hope that at least that scene worked is crushed lol, thanks for letting me know! I will fix this at home.

This is after choosing Chase to spend time with for your birthday. Some changing pronouns and misnamed.

Summary

He raises an eyebrow. “Can’t keep lying to yourself, Héron?”, his voice sounds soft, “Did it get too hard, hm?”, he leans closer, “I am not complaining.”

She presses her lips together. “That I had.” something about her voice doesn’t sound mourning anymore… but revengeful.

But before you can comment on it, she looks at your clothes like she has seen them for the first time.

Chris looks at his own clothing, a comfy cream coloured sweater with a white button down shirt. Even now dressed in Doves colours.

“But, you are here for a reason, what can I do for you, Héron?”

You explain your plans to him and he nods. “Maybe that’s a good idea. Thank you for inventing me… and… I am sorry I couldn’t gift you anything, I will make it up to you!”

You nod with a smile. “I will see you later than!”

That whole code is broken (although in theory it should work, I am so confused), I will take a look at it, however it will only be updated once the next update is finished!

This WiP os amazing! The MC’s sexuality being a big factor of the story, and not just some flavor text or romance setting, is wonderful and should be done a lot more frequently, if I’m being honest! One, question, though: Although I haven’t read the other “Grey Swan” installments, are they, perhaps, related? I vividly remember from another PoV that there were many cults, I’ve been wonder if the other installments are from other perspectives of other cults.

Thank you, I wish more games would do that (because in many games it just feels like some checkmark and nothing else).

And nope my Grey Swans are connected through the Divine Flock but in different times! Like in Hawks & Doves its a world religion and in Wisteria Birds the only remnants is some kind of job, while in the fourth title (not yet long enough for a demo as I want to focus on BoaR first) Fallen Dove it is actually used by two sides in a conflict that both use the remnants of the Divine Flock with all changes roughly a thousand years combined make.

…that’s such an amusing acronym, given that the full title talks about bird. :laughing:

Oh, that’s cool! I know that my question could probably get answered by just reading the other books, but I’m too stubborn to do that right now lmao ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
(Also, I live yor other work, Citadel!)
(PS: I also agree with your statement on sexuality. I feel like it’s just there for… being there.)
