I’m playing as female on the rubinroute/swan route:
- “I just wanted to shut him up. He was annoying me.”
- after losing wing badge: gottesherz line 105: invalid indent, expected 3, was 2
on rubenroute as a raven
- after selecting “You look around for Droznik, you saw him earlier, where is he now?”: nacht line 3055: invalid indent, expected at least one line in ‘if’ true block
- after losing wing badge: gottesherz line 105: invalid indent, expected 3, was 2
on beizen route
- “Your thoughts drift to your new team-mate. It would be nice to talk to them.”: nacht line 10001: increasing indent not allowed, expected 1 was 2
- “Your fellow Songbird enters your mind uninvited…” I’m on beizen route, also this leads to a talking horse that I didn’t know you could have lmao

Okay I fixed all of them!
Except the last one… I truly do not know how that happened… the talking horse is only for patreon rn

Hi, I read that you could kill Max and go to prison but he dies randomly in the beginning? How do I get the correct route?
IIRC the random death happens if MC avoids getting on his route (chooses not to travel alone with Max early in the game, etc)

What the other user wrote, however you also need to choose for MC to be ambitious. This, and choosing Habichtklau to be alive as well as traveling alone, will lock you in that route.

A Patreon update is live!
Check it out here: ReinekesFuchs | Writer of Interactive Fiction | Patreon
With this update you now can:
-Meet the King of European vampires and make a deal with him (or reject it). To get this event: be a Circle Raven (be a Raven and choose the first red rose option), ask to be left alone by Droznik after learning about the Stranskys’ fate, or ask to be left alone by Droznik and then choose not a pursue the conversation with another character (+ hint: for a variation of the meeting, have your MC choose the first rose option, then the “It burns as you drink it” option during the first blood donation)
-Be consoled by different characters after learning about the tragic fate of old friends. To get this event: be a Circle Raven (same steps as above), stay with Droznik after learning about the Stranskys’ fate, or ask him to leave you alone and be consoled by Hilda, Chase or Fuchsia
-Have a fight with Chris. To get this event: be a Dove, AFAB, have Karla as your girlfriend, choose to spend the evening with Chris and tell him you want to break up with Karla, choose your reason and see how he reacts
Also there will be no public update this month, I want to get out a bigger update so I am waiting until I hopefully have this whole scene finished, or at least more finished for you guys!

You probably get this question a lot but I can never remember. Can we become vampires in this version or the previous version of the game?

Correct! You can become a vampire in a number of ways, as well as other things:
angry ghost, time traveler, werewolf, changeling.

now i feel missing out as a normy raven who train with that guy (feel like there is a hint. but is he also a vampire?)
No, you can still get vamp/werewolf/ghost of the above, the rest is specific to a volery, so no raven gets that. You get different content (still needs to be written but the weather is killing me)!
And no he isnt a vampire, just a guy with anger issues, some very strict personal code on when to let it out and long hair.

Which ro is the bigger yandere?
The Phoenix. (But at the same time they arent really in MCs life, so idk if that counts?)

A changeling!, the fairy kind?
How?!
1 Like
Yes, the fairy kind. You know Changeling the Lost? There will also be some more mythology, like the Erlkönig, the wild hunt etc in one certain volery (guess which one)

I’ll have to play again, it has been a while. I’m a big fan of the nWOD version of them.
A praise I intended to write a while ago about Grey Swan but never ended up doing is that I like how you write the choice to be gay or trans in it.
It could have been justified if you ended up writing it as superficial choice but it made sense of it being trouble for you since you’re in a cult. make it feel meaningful to me.

Sadly I could never play it 
never found a group but I love the concept!
Thank you!
Now tbh if I wrote a game about a bigoted, anti-everything cult and didnt give MC some troubles for not perfectly fitting into what is demanded of them than I would be not only a bad writer but also a boring one which in my eyes is worse. And it is meaningful because it is meaningful to people, mainly you yourself, in real life, it should be reflected in fiction with neccessary depth. (And even an MC that does fit into those demands will face troubles, simply because they are human. It is a no one can win situation. But you can get out, there will be happy endings! Bad endings too of course.)

Thus far I tried the raven, sparrow and hawks, which is weird because I’m pretty sure I tried everything else back then and it wasn’t it.
If you don’t mind, which volery is the correct one?
