WOWOWOW, this seriously gave me such a boost today <33
And yesss, you’re totally right to notice those language roots! The terms used for the pixie powers, Khashm (Wrath) // Hirs (Greed) // Hesadat (Envy) // Kesel (Sloth) // Ghoroor (Pride) // Shahvat (Lust) // Naomidi (Despair), are all Persian in origin! But they definitely share overlaps with other regional languages like Urdu (which you mentioned!), Dari, Hindi, etc…
Fantasy media often leans heavily into Greek mythos, so I thought it would be refreshing to highlight Middle Eastern influences instead. That said, I still sprinkled in a bit of Greek inspiration too (especially with the love themes tied to the different pixies) to keep it a little more familiar for Western audiences.
As for the game duration… this demo clocks in at around 20–25k words, so if you read at a pace of ~10k words per hour, it comes out to about 2 hours of playtime. For the full release, I’m aiming for something closer to 10 hours, though that might shift a bit depending on how editing goes!
And yep… the bad endings definitely get darker. Some are creepier than others, and it’s only going to escalate from here, so feel free to peek at the content warnings, you know your comfort zone best!
P.S We’d be so grateful if you could rate our game. It would really help us with visibility on the itch algorithm (^‿^v)
