Is this playable on the computer? Doesn’t work on the phone
i understand, take care of yourself :)
Huh- where do we play it ? ^^
Oh, alright ! Well I hope you will feel better then ^^
wish it was web :( it looks really good!
Love love love it
There's still a bug with the witch race!
Here's what I do:
I pick the witch race from the start, I make my character, then it takes me to a screen that says "Are you an Elf or a Witch? Your current race is Witch" then I pick witch it takes me back to a "Pick your eye color" screen but this time without the elven options and when I pick a color it takes me to a screen that says "Are you a Human or a Gnome? Your current race is Witch" and as you can imagine there's no option for witch on that screen lol
What identity and pronouns (or hair or eyes or skin) I pick don't seem to make a difference.
I can't choose any height as a Gnome, it simply wouldn't let me. Also on that note can you add a special height for gnomes (0.8-1m) that affects dialogue and gameplay? I think it'll be funny. Just a suggestion though as I see that that could be a lot of unnecessary work.
Will there be a monster lover option?
Error/Bug: When I go in to play as a witch and choose my eye color it circles back around to choose your eye color and I do then it ask if I'm a human or a gnome and I'm neither and I can't skip it so I can't play as a
witch.
Ok so I selected the following: Born as a female identifies so, she her hers,witch,hair color black, hip length, down, Olive skin tone,eye color violet,click witch again
it's also the same for me :[
YEEEAAA LETS GOOOO
When making a character, even though it's one of the three options for the height of an Elf, you can't pick the 1.7m option
When you choose Elf as the race and then takes you to where it asks for your height it will only let you choose the first two options but not the 1.
For a demo. you got my attention, honestly if there was a discord server or twit feed for this I'd be happy to join to keep up with this game!
cool! I'll be there!
Im experinced with making servers and Im currently making one now if you need staff memebers!
ah, there seems to be a problem when I try to choose the heights 170cm-180cm and below as a pure human! It only allowed me to choose the two tallest heights ><
Ah, no worries! I understand that life gets busy ^^
Just letting you know since I don't think it was reported :3
Hello, I was wondering what was happening here:
I had chosen an elf character, and the same thing happens when I select the Witch character as well.
I can’t progress beyond the error message.
The red text is hard to read on dark mode and my eyes are sensitive to light mode a never ending cycle D:
oml thank you :D!
Though now there's this thing with the witch and elf eye options i dunno what it is or how to fix it?
Enjoyed the current demo! Just a typo in the first paragraph of ch 1:
You woke up. Who are you? You looked around to see where you were. The frist thing -> first thing
Thanks for writing it!
Dammit, I just wanted to cuddle with Raen!
The first few lines reminded me of Skyrim very much lol
In Skyrim, the player character wakes up in a horse cart too. Then another character says "Hey, you, you're finally awake." That's where the similarity ends tho.
Also I'm looking forward to how the story will go :) seems interesting so far
CRYING SOBBING THROBBING I LOVE THIS UNEXPECTEDLY SHORT DEMO. cry cry.
I really really want to see what happens in this story but the far right edges of my screen get cut off and I can't adjust it to be able to read all it. Is there a way to access a settings menu to make the text smaller?
I'm excited to hear that and thank you so much for the fast reply! Take your time.
