New Public Release!

Daughter of Essence
A downloadable game for Windows

Hello, everyone. It's finally here! A new public release! Numerically, the public version is now up to version 0.94.5.

I'm sure many are wondering why it took so long, and the answer is plainly that the chapter is big and ambitious.

It opens the world up to broader exploration, introduces many new and improved systems, and adds several new explorable locations to the game in the most open and non-linear chapter to date.

We are approaching the game's major climax, so everything you've done up 'til now has been building up to this next chapter. We hope you look forward to it.  <3


What's New Since the Last Public Build? (A Lot)

- Added several more hours of continued adventures to the game
- Added many new, fully-developed locations to explore
- Added several new NSFW scenes
- Added autosaving (and a toggle to disable it)
- Added a new keyboard splash screen on startup
- Added new trackers to cove strength, morale, sustainability and health
- Added new enemies to overcome
- Adjusted combat, ability and item balance across the board
- Adjusted combat animations to be snappier and more impactful
- Added new items, equipment and treasure to plunder
- Countless other bug-fixes and quality-of-life improvements
- Much, much more! You can find the complete change-log for every patch here!

Will my old save work?

- Probably! But a lot of data is stored on saves that can't be overwritten by new patches, like character/item/enemy stats and keybinds. You can reset your controls to default to fix the latter issue, but there's nothing to be done for the former.

When will you update the walkthrough to feature Ch. 8 content?

- Soon!
