Today I want to talk about the Main Character and how strange their entire existence is. For example, where did they come from? We don't know. We don't know anything about ourselves as a character. I know the character is just a stand in for us the players and likely shouldn't get a backstory but when you think of it from a characters perspective it seems odd. Just look at Gunnar questioning exactly that. "A Herbalist popping in out of nowhere." Which is true. At the start of the game we had apparently been apprenticing under a pretty renowned herbalist but barely know how to make a potion without his notes. SO how long had we truly been there? I would imagine not long at all if we had never visited Bareshade or known about Caleb and the Werewolves in the nearby woods. Based on character interactions we can rule out that our MC came from any settlement nearby. The only thing I can imagine happening is that the MC washed up on the beach from a faraway land and was picked up by our Master Herbalist by chance. Perhaps with Amnesia. The real question is why? What happened to our MC to get them to where they are now? Why is Gunnar the only one to question MC's origin? And why does the MC not answer or give evasive answers? It feels intentional.
I would also like to point out how exceptional our MC is. I know we have our Masters Notes but we learn alchemy so easily, being able to preform it in all sorts of places despite Ruben talking about how complex the process is. Yet we have seemed to have simplified it down to cooking in a pot somehow, even though we only learned it at the start of our adventure. Next is our fighting ability, being able to overcome and defeat enemies an ordinary person has no right defeating, such as Tank and Scar one after the other. Both trained in combat for years longer than the MC (for all we know), Scar even questions how he could've lost to you. Yet you defeat not only them but Northcrests defenders, Orcs, Werewolves, Swamp Monsters, Lizards, and more, in one on one combat. Sometimes even three on one combat. It is mentioned that these enemies ARE stronger than MC despite being able to defeat them. You could amount this to the MC's strength not being his main attributer to winning fights but it seems unlikely. From what is mentioned within the text is seems as though the MC isn't exactly the largest of people compared to others. An athletes body and not a bodybuilders bara body like nearly everyone else. You can assume this with how often the MC is lifted with ease and mentions how muscular/large another character is. Even so the MC is still out preforming those hulking giants. Beating them in arm wrestling, wrestling, sparring, combat, racing (being able to catch Caleb a werewolf running at full speed.), and endurance. In simplest terms our MC is super human... if they are even human at all.
I do not think our MC is human, or at least not fully human. Sure we have seen the MC lose, specifically the 0 sanity Game Over scenes, but overall a lot of strange things occur to the MC. For example Spectral Fever, Bernard gets it and passes out, we get it and it is barely a debuff. I'm surprised we aren't spreading it around like an STD and infecting every creature we meet. Perhaps that is merely a gameplay mechanic but a timer for a death game over would amplify how severe SF actually is. For now it is equivalent to the sniffles to the MC who can literally ignore it, just like the rats who carry it unaffected. Next is Lycanthrope, the MC is in constant proximity to the Alpha werewolf, despite being attacked or fucked, the MC is still not a werewolf (not that it can't happen given the 0 sanity werewolf ending but I don't think it states that you become a werewolf just the packs omega breeding bitch, which I guess is implied.) Next is Cthulhu himself (Nameless), despite being able to mind control Korg he chooses not to mind control the MC. He says that he just wants MC to willingly serve him, but if MC turns him down he just continues to threaten and stalk us. Even if we go to the witch for protection he doesn't stop us. It almost seems as though his mental magic isn't as effective against the MC as it would be anyone else. Finally the Lake of Lust which again is the creation of the Nameless, despite the Lizards falling under its spell and losing their minds, we drink and drink the water and just get a corrupted debuff. It seems like one gulp should cause us to lose our sanity but here we are being fucked in the lake being forced to swallow the water and we walk out practically unscathed where as other characters would've been fully corrupted. IT is likely that we are not affected as much due to being the Main Character (Plot Armor), but in all honesty it seems likely that our MC is odd themselves. Whether they have magic or are some sort of half breed. Our MC is resistant to diseases, curses and magic, but not immune. Does Victoria not try to use her seduction on you like she claims? Or did she try and it for some reason didn't work? Only when you were at your weakest when you confront her with Arion does she try again and nearly succeed. Can Nameless really control you like he claims? OR does he need you to submit to control you? It would explain why he attacks your friends instead of you directly.
I know it sounds like a stretch. I just enjoy the game and like thinking about the possibilities. Especially with the last update feeling more story driven then anything. I'd like more of that TBH. More of the MC too, he doesn't need to be an exact proxy for the player, he already isn't. Anyway stay tuned for my next theory or rather rant lol.
I´d love to know more about our own origins as well. I hope Hyao adds something else in that regard :) By the way: Do we know the name of our master? It is mentioned? Maybe I missed it.
starting with the Nameless, it's not because we are resistant to his powers that he doesn't control us. it's because he can't use them in the temple due to it being protected against him. and the reason we aren't going insane from even a single gulp is prolly because the nameless made the curse SPECIFICALLY for the lizard people, not humans. from what I've read in game I believe the curse just forces out deep desire/puts a person into a far more feral state which why they go mad. since the lizard folk are beastkin, it might be like a heat state some animals go into where they desperately want to do stuff and have kids, but instead it's just the lizard folk wanna fuck anything to relieve themselves and go mad in the search for it. also, he does say he wants us to willingly serve him, but he can control us if he wishes. he literally forces us to thank him in the nightmare where he killed Rhot and made us relieved after we throw him the gem at our home, showing he did have a slight part of us wanting to give it to him at that moment. also, I'm pretty sure he doesn't stop us because he simply doesn't care, if we resist him, it's no big deal to him since all we did was stop one of his plans and in the end, we still gave him what he wanted. also even with the witch's aid, he still can control our friends, just not us in particular anymore. and from what I remember about siding with her he tells us to leave him alone and he'll leave us alone. maybe I'm misremembering something though since it's been a long time since I last sided with her because I find nameless way to hot lmao.
no idea about Viccoria. she is one of the people in game who has less content than I have braincells so like, idk if she was telling the truth lmao.
but basically, everything else, I think has a really good basis to believe! we know absolutely NOTHING about our characters past, making in all honesty anything possible. not everything is reasonable, but what you've suggested all has a base in the game for being possible!
(on the point below, after going through the intro to check a small thing, it seems like we might have found him randomly instead of him just taking us in. might have misread it a bit though. still think this idea has a good base!)
such as being inhuman, the point on us just appearing suddenly and becoming an apprentice doesn't feel likely and our strangely insane constitution against diseases really make us seem more suspicious of being non human. it could be just a gameplay thing because Hyao knows it would prolly be REALLY annoying if we literally HAD to craft a cure before a timer so he left it as a plot hole for the sake of not making us suffer. but off that and on what we might be, the teacher did have notes on lycans in his stuff, so maybe the reason we know nothing about ourselves is because we are a cured werewolf our master took in after curing and a side effect of the "true cure" is amnesia? maybe the quest/place/whatever the master is doing is going to a place infested with Lycans and he is going to save the people and cure the Lycans, which would also explain why his notes never had a cure. not because he couldn't but because he took those notes with him! this one is mostly pure speculation though since our character would prolly notice if notes were missing unless the teacher happened to have like 2 copies one of which was finished and one which was the original but never got completed.
the Wererat idea though I severely doubt. I'm pretty sure they aren't created via humans being infected but are born of a mother and father ratkin. however, I don't have any proof for or against this, just that it seems unlikely to me. plus, if they were created via infection, that means Scrap was once human and he would prolly remember that and his story wouldn't be "embrace the whore rat" or "act more human" and instead be "embrace the whore rat" or "remember your old self". so only the route about being more human like would really change.... but still, point stands. and the wererats would prolly have caused our MC more concern if they could infect people since they were so close to the town and could infect everyone. but the resistance to spectral fever is something I don't understand at all. maybe they had a plague and eventually evolved into a resistance to it? or it could be a not a disease to them and only to us? maybe it's being inhuman which gives the resistance? which would in a sorta funny way add credence to us being inhuman as well lol. hope we find out why they are resistant to it so we theorize about ourselves.
also how long we had been with the master was stated in the beginning, just a couple months. it's literally ONLY mentioned in the intro from what I remember though so it seems really easy to miss.
but off us being a werewolf or such, what else could we be if not human? maybe a homunculus? we don't know if those exist in this world and if they do it could explain some stuff about us. such as the strength increases passively with nearly no limit and how we stayed with our master. maybe we think we found the teacher, but he actually created us and the reason he left was to deal with rumors/the consequences of our creation? or someone else made us and he realized what we are and took us in to protect us until we could protect ourselves from others who would seek to use our power.
I would say demon or something similar but we meet Viccoria and she would absolutely notice if we were a demon or such, plus it would appear demons are weakened by sunlight and we are completely unaffected by it so I highly doubt this idea. maybe I'm missing something though.
another idea though could be a sort of Fae creature? like how Feliar is a Satyr we might be some sort of... I don't actually have anything since all the Fae creatures I know have major visual identifications like fairies with wings and Satyrs with the goatlike features. but if anyone has a creature humanlike please share it!
maybe we are human, but a human who was experimented on and eventually discarded as a failed product and we don't remember it because we just got into an accident or something and met the master? or we are aware of it and remember but hide it from everyone and it just hasn't come into lore yet so it's not been mentioned?
and again, even if a stretch, really fun ideas! so long as your enjoying it I bet Hyao is happy about this :) and I also like thinking about possibilities in the future of the game, but you had some ideas I don't think I could ever come up with on my own lmao. even without a good amount of evidence, they have just about enough stuff to make them mostly possible! I hope we find at least one thing about ourselves so we can confirm/deconfirm our theories and stuff.
i need some help here i need to complete the orc war event but i need to talk with korg about the commander but korg has left so i have no idea how to tell him about the fair in bareshade can someone help me?
So, there is a bug happening with Rhot that when you try to get him to visit you the second night of you resting in the shrine he does not come. I kept sleeping in the shrine for over 50+ days and he didn't show up. (I think it's his first heart quest thing)
It doesn’t give me the option to do that, I’m at the part where you have to wait for him to stalk you two times, the first time worked nominally but the second one doesn’t appear.
How many Rhot's like you got? But I think you got enough since you can trigger the first event. So, the last one you need is luck, since I think it's RNG to trigger the event.
So i played a bit and reach quite a good portion of the game and was wondering if there would be a possibility of adding a new event in the full moon event where the player could actually decide to become a werewolf in order to save a friend in danger and again its just an idea but it would be cool if it happened and this would activate a new form for the main character where he can decide when to transform either during battle or during exploration
it would be neat but it would take a lot of rewriting the early game to add. essentially it's a good idea but would take forever to actually add even if hard focused for a couple months straight. I also planned to list everything that would need changes but my arm started hurting from typing it so I stopped lmao.
Maybe and may not, but I don't think we will get a new continent in the next or sooner update. Since the story have not mention about the new town or villages.
How updated is the wiki? I checked it to see how to raise Bernard to three hearts, and it says that if I visit his shop at 55 likes, he'll invite me to his place. I'm currently at around 70, and I don't have access to this third heart. 🤔
I found what I was supposed to do. I checked the quest log and saw that there was more of the wolf quest that I was supposed to do, and then I was able to progress. 😅
Ok, so bug report, i'm not into orcs, so i left krog go his way (green orc) , but that softlocked the game, and the "missing scout" mission is unfinishable, hope the dev reads this, i tried even starting from beggining with a new save
Its 1 mission from everett, but some time ago, it worked without any problems, it would be really great to give players choice of partners, cause im really not into orcs
Unfortunately, Korg is some kind of key character for main story event like Orc's war and Northcrest event. So if he left, it's mean some main event will be softlocked. I hope for alternative way to process the event too.
I dont know if I've missed or passed something on my playthrough but I just recently noticed that I dont have relation profile for Everett. Also cant gift him... help
(Slr been busy with work). I can't even find his name in the relations page. And wierd thing, I believe Gunnar was supposed to disappear in the relations page. He is still on mine.
That's weird, since if Gunnar should not show on your logs, it's mean you have finished the Northcrest event which you should have met Everette so many times. Are you sure that you have found him and Booner? And I have seen some bugs report about Gunnar's relationship log too. I think Hyao will fix it's in the next update.
You can give him a fine wine and a kiss (if you have his love enough). Also, if you want to raise his like, you can talk to him and help his works. It's a daily repeatable way to raise his like.
yeah i have a ton of fine wine but i cant give it to him and the option "ask if he needs any help" dont give any like anymore (it used to give but dont give anymore )
Ever since the past few updates the app keeps crashing on my Android device, and I honestly don't know what to do. I can't even click fast on text since that increases chances of the game crashing. Is this an optimization problem?
In case it's relevant, my phone runs Android 12 and has 2GB of RAM. If anyone has any advice at all I'd highly appreciate it!
Have you try upgrading android to the current version (13)? I'm not sure about android platform. But upgrading your OS and mobile OS may help. And may I ask? Have you ever had the same, or at least the similar problem, with another games?
Is the "beardog" thing not finished yet or I'm just dumb?
The "beardog" thing I refers to is that dialogue that between Rose, a hunter and a lady that happens when you enter Bareshade. It's said that both the hunter and the lady saw a white thing around Bareshade, one think it is a bear and the other that it was a dog.
After that Rose appears and says that the MC will be checking the situation for them, but I never saw her mention it since.
It is already done and I'm just not able to figure it out who is the "beardog" or is it an unfinished questline?
Baerdog's name is Garuik. You can find him since 0.45 update at New Road while maintaining the road during 22:00 – 6:00 Also, you can invite him to your house once during 22.00 - 00.00 in 0.49 update. (If you have invited him but you come home later than 00.00, the event will trigger in the next night at the same time in your house.)
And his content is written by guest writer Urso, so you need to wait for it like another guest writer characters.
So I've seen on the update that there's a chance to fight Barrel at Wrestling at the fair on a Sunday. I've faced him and got 2 options - fair fight or throw the fight. It says there's an alternate if Barrel has ever slept over which I'm sure he has.
It says there's a round 2 in your house that same night but it's not showing up at all for me and idk what I'm doing wrong.
Also, there's no option to approach Barrel in the tavern now and idk why
I think you said about 0.58 update which available for Patreon supporter only. I think you need to put spoiler tag.
[Spolier]
That's weird, I think this event did not require any special requirement except winning or losing him in Westling fight. Have you done a belly fun with Harold and Barrel yet? And what is you conclusion in Northcrest conspiracy event? Did you tell all info about Bandit's camp to Everrete?
Belly fun? No. There's no option for it when talking to Harold. As for the bandit camp, there's no option to tell Everett about it either, but I'm fully up to date with the Northcrest side of things
Can you screenshot your event logs? I want to know how to process and why there are no "Belly fun" in Harold's dialogue since it doesn't require any special requirements except his like (if I remember correctly).
Raise your lewd fame around bareshade and you can ask Rose, the tailor, for access to slutty clothes that raise your charm (tease accuracy) and lewdness (tease strength), you can also make a wig from the hair you get from beating the nymph and a harness rarely from beating Barrel, the chubby bandit.
Ah help. Recently, I switched from Windows PC to Mac, but I'm not sure how to transfer the save file to the Mac.zip version. I've already got a copy of my previous saves from the pc.
Fun Fact: In Relationship logs, there're 2 characters that have a random (actually it does have a set of words but it still randomly) occupation and it change almost every time you click their plus icon.
One is Caleb, his occupation can be "Warewolf" "Good Boy" "Bad Boy" "Knot for hire" "Awoo Barks CEW" and "Wuff Wuff.
And second one is Hugo, his occupation can be "Sure" "Sup" "What's that?" "Uh-huh" and "Professional Sniffer."
i did that in the previous one but that was a long time ago since this is the new update i have to make another one i guess i'm just start over seriously how was a really good at it before now i forgot how to do it again got damn it i wish i could just recorded for put in notes or save in the different files back then i only save in one file at a time or the same files
I'm locked out of the quests because of low likes with Bernard. I tried buying fine wine but it doesn't show up as gift and Bernard isn't there at night.
The option to hunt on Friday is also not showing up.
// Ah nvm I had to ask him about it in talk every week
We don't have an update this month because Hyao took August to rest. As someone else said in a comment, maybe we will get an update at the end of the month or next month
help, I swear, for the past 2 hour's I've been looking for wolf's den and I know it's in the forest next to my house but no matter how may time's I try I cant find it. Please help.
Hello. Kind of stumped, I am on my last quest, the one where you have to prove to the orcs you are strong and I got to the part where the leader ask to kill red orcs. Thing is when I go to the camp it tells me to go back. Did I do the quest too late?
Does Nameless only appear when I do the lizard tribe good ending ? Cause I want to do another route where I do the opposite of what I did in my first route.
He mentioned a while back that updates would be around the 5th or 6th, so it isn't technically late. He hasn't mentioned an hiatus so let's be patient a little longer :)
Im stuck at the quest "Orc War" where I have share my information with korg.? I can't find him at my house anymore but I think it has something to do with the choice I made along time ago. Where can I find him?
I may've missed this before, but is there an in-depth explanation anywhere of your home and the things you can do there? While I find everything fairly intuitive, I find myself confused on some of the mechanics, such as the Defence, Pheromones, etc of the hideout, and how the pets work, such as how dominance and like effects interactions, if at all. If anyone could offer an explanation of these, or point me in the right direction, it'd be very much appreciated!
I can explain some things but even after playing for a long ass time I have no idea what others do (namely pheromones, like they exist but I have no clue what they do). also most that I know is pretty basic and just the stuff you craft from the build menu.
also atm I only know of one use for defense and that's when you have low like with the bandits, it prevents them from breaking into the hut when the MC is sleeping. maybe Pheromones make it so they are horny when they break in so it's easier to get the tease win against them?
here is the basics you can do in the house; Crafting weapons and some other items after you build the workshop.
craft potions and study recipes from random stuff in the world.
keep animals like a Wolbauk, Horse, Raptor, Wolf and Dog.
grow certain plants at home so you don't need to ever leave the hut or go to annoying places for certain items.
keep prisoners of war you kidnap from random locations/hold people who are not currently in control of their body or mind.
store items you don't want to clutter your inventory so you can get to other items quicker when out and about.
you can also chop wood outside and check on animals and name them stuff. I named my wolf Amicus lol.
dominance is if they will listen to you, if they have low dominance, they will listen to your commands but if they have high dominance they just do as they please instead of listening. similar to prisoners.
like is how you learn new stuff, if your pet/mount doesn't have enough like they physically cannot learn anything new. but once they reach a certain threshold, they can be taught new stuff. like the wolf can help in battle and the dog can search the area around the house for items like berries and stuff!
I can't think of anything else but anyone who does it would be welcome if they added stuff in!
Ah, thank you so much for the help! I've been playing the game for a little over two years now, but realized that I'd never actually found out what certain things did/effected, and considering the wiki lacked depth on a few things I just thought it best to ask hahaha.
Admittedly, I didn't even know the bandits broke into the house at low like, but what you mentioned definitely seems likely! I'd thought it may have something to do with prisoners or pets, but had come up short in terms of results after maxing out their like and dominance at the same rate as normal.
Might mess with things and report back in how it goes, but thank you again for your input!
It has been a while since I offered to play around with the ideas, but I am back with my findings! Obviously, I need to preface this by saying that I can't guarantee this is all right, but this is what I observed with the ideas we had. Also, there's a tl;dr at the bottom if you don't want to read it all.
Ok so, we'd discussed the Aphrodisiac section possibly affecting the Bandits breaking in, and thus, I tested that out first. First of all, choosing to let Korg stay with you makes it impossible for the Bandits to break in at all as he disposes of them before they can make an attempt. However, in the event he is not staying with you, the earliest I got the bandits to break in was Day 11/12 with -100 Like - This was a new save where I used the cheat console to progress what I needed to. Regardless of how full the Aphrodisiac bar is, the Bandits will remain hostile with no initial libido, suggesting that it does not affect them. I only went as high as 100 Aphrodisiac (10 used), but I think there would've been some indication if it had worked. This did at least show me that, in the event they do break in and then leave, the players' house gains 20 defence which goes up by 20 each time they attempt and fail to break in following that.
Following this, I thought it may affect the pets as they're also housebound. In my playthrough, I have 100 Aphrodisiac on my house and noted that the Wolf and Dog have a scene unlike the other animals, so took to testing this theory too. However, I quickly found that this is just another scene the Wolf and Dog have built into them after reaching enough Dominance over the player - I believe it starts at Dominance 30, with little change to the scene at the cap of 50 Dominance.
Finally, I also have six prisoners in the same playthrough - 2 Ratkin, 2 Werewolves, and 2 Lizardmen - and debated whether the 100 Aphrodisiac had affected them without my notice, as many had come after I added it. Thus, in the new save, I caught a Lizardman and did the same test, interacting with him before and after applying the Aphrodisiac, and I found that it changed his manner from a cold, stern one, to one reminiscent of the Tainted Lizardmen below the temple. I also noticed that it seems to make their passive text more sexual, such as openly masturbating, thrusting through the bars, or engaging with you while you're already playing with another in the cell. I am unaware if prisoners can usually escape as I've never had the issue arise, but if it is a feature then I'd imagine it likely makes it less likely the more you use/prevents them from doing so. Otherwise, it's simply a bar to fill for lustful flavour text and maybe some scene variation.
Overall, I don't think the Aphrodisiac is as useful for the house as, say, Defence, but probably worth it if you're playing entirely for the hornier scenes. My apologies that I took so long to get around to this, but hopefully this helps with general understanding!
tl;dr - Aphrodisiac only affects prisoners, giving them a hornier attitude and maybe some lewd scene variation.

Theory Time: (Spoilers Below)
Today I want to talk about the Main Character and how strange their entire existence is. For example, where did they come from? We don't know. We don't know anything about ourselves as a character. I know the character is just a stand in for us the players and likely shouldn't get a backstory but when you think of it from a characters perspective it seems odd. Just look at Gunnar questioning exactly that. "A Herbalist popping in out of nowhere." Which is true. At the start of the game we had apparently been apprenticing under a pretty renowned herbalist but barely know how to make a potion without his notes. SO how long had we truly been there? I would imagine not long at all if we had never visited Bareshade or known about Caleb and the Werewolves in the nearby woods. Based on character interactions we can rule out that our MC came from any settlement nearby. The only thing I can imagine happening is that the MC washed up on the beach from a faraway land and was picked up by our Master Herbalist by chance. Perhaps with Amnesia. The real question is why? What happened to our MC to get them to where they are now? Why is Gunnar the only one to question MC's origin? And why does the MC not answer or give evasive answers? It feels intentional.
I would also like to point out how exceptional our MC is. I know we have our Masters Notes but we learn alchemy so easily, being able to preform it in all sorts of places despite Ruben talking about how complex the process is. Yet we have seemed to have simplified it down to cooking in a pot somehow, even though we only learned it at the start of our adventure. Next is our fighting ability, being able to overcome and defeat enemies an ordinary person has no right defeating, such as Tank and Scar one after the other. Both trained in combat for years longer than the MC (for all we know), Scar even questions how he could've lost to you. Yet you defeat not only them but Northcrests defenders, Orcs, Werewolves, Swamp Monsters, Lizards, and more, in one on one combat. Sometimes even three on one combat. It is mentioned that these enemies ARE stronger than MC despite being able to defeat them. You could amount this to the MC's strength not being his main attributer to winning fights but it seems unlikely. From what is mentioned within the text is seems as though the MC isn't exactly the largest of people compared to others. An athletes body and not a bodybuilders bara body like nearly everyone else. You can assume this with how often the MC is lifted with ease and mentions how muscular/large another character is. Even so the MC is still out preforming those hulking giants. Beating them in arm wrestling, wrestling, sparring, combat, racing (being able to catch Caleb a werewolf running at full speed.), and endurance. In simplest terms our MC is super human... if they are even human at all.
I do not think our MC is human, or at least not fully human. Sure we have seen the MC lose, specifically the 0 sanity Game Over scenes, but overall a lot of strange things occur to the MC. For example Spectral Fever, Bernard gets it and passes out, we get it and it is barely a debuff. I'm surprised we aren't spreading it around like an STD and infecting every creature we meet. Perhaps that is merely a gameplay mechanic but a timer for a death game over would amplify how severe SF actually is. For now it is equivalent to the sniffles to the MC who can literally ignore it, just like the rats who carry it unaffected. Next is Lycanthrope, the MC is in constant proximity to the Alpha werewolf, despite being attacked or fucked, the MC is still not a werewolf (not that it can't happen given the 0 sanity werewolf ending but I don't think it states that you become a werewolf just the packs omega breeding bitch, which I guess is implied.) Next is Cthulhu himself (Nameless), despite being able to mind control Korg he chooses not to mind control the MC. He says that he just wants MC to willingly serve him, but if MC turns him down he just continues to threaten and stalk us. Even if we go to the witch for protection he doesn't stop us. It almost seems as though his mental magic isn't as effective against the MC as it would be anyone else. Finally the Lake of Lust which again is the creation of the Nameless, despite the Lizards falling under its spell and losing their minds, we drink and drink the water and just get a corrupted debuff. It seems like one gulp should cause us to lose our sanity but here we are being fucked in the lake being forced to swallow the water and we walk out practically unscathed where as other characters would've been fully corrupted. IT is likely that we are not affected as much due to being the Main Character (Plot Armor), but in all honesty it seems likely that our MC is odd themselves. Whether they have magic or are some sort of half breed. Our MC is resistant to diseases, curses and magic, but not immune. Does Victoria not try to use her seduction on you like she claims? Or did she try and it for some reason didn't work? Only when you were at your weakest when you confront her with Arion does she try again and nearly succeed. Can Nameless really control you like he claims? OR does he need you to submit to control you? It would explain why he attacks your friends instead of you directly.
I know it sounds like a stretch. I just enjoy the game and like thinking about the possibilities. Especially with the last update feeling more story driven then anything. I'd like more of that TBH. More of the MC too, he doesn't need to be an exact proxy for the player, he already isn't. Anyway stay tuned for my next theory or rather rant lol.
I´d love to know more about our own origins as well. I hope Hyao adds something else in that regard :) By the way: Do we know the name of our master? It is mentioned? Maybe I missed it.
no, we don't know our masters name right now. I guess he is technically nameless because of this.
Very interesting theory indeed.

starting with the Nameless, it's not because we are resistant to his powers that he doesn't control us. it's because he can't use them in the temple due to it being protected against him. and the reason we aren't going insane from even a single gulp is prolly because the nameless made the curse SPECIFICALLY for the lizard people, not humans. from what I've read in game I believe the curse just forces out deep desire/puts a person into a far more feral state which why they go mad. since the lizard folk are beastkin, it might be like a heat state some animals go into where they desperately want to do stuff and have kids, but instead it's just the lizard folk wanna fuck anything to relieve themselves and go mad in the search for it. also, he does say he wants us to willingly serve him, but he can control us if he wishes. he literally forces us to thank him in the nightmare where he killed Rhot and made us relieved after we throw him the gem at our home, showing he did have a slight part of us wanting to give it to him at that moment. also, I'm pretty sure he doesn't stop us because he simply doesn't care, if we resist him, it's no big deal to him since all we did was stop one of his plans and in the end, we still gave him what he wanted. also even with the witch's aid, he still can control our friends, just not us in particular anymore. and from what I remember about siding with her he tells us to leave him alone and he'll leave us alone. maybe I'm misremembering something though since it's been a long time since I last sided with her because I find nameless way to hot lmao.
no idea about Viccoria. she is one of the people in game who has less content than I have braincells so like, idk if she was telling the truth lmao.
but basically, everything else, I think has a really good basis to believe! we know absolutely NOTHING about our characters past, making in all honesty anything possible. not everything is reasonable, but what you've suggested all has a base in the game for being possible!
(on the point below, after going through the intro to check a small thing, it seems like we might have found him randomly instead of him just taking us in. might have misread it a bit though. still think this idea has a good base!)
such as being inhuman, the point on us just appearing suddenly and becoming an apprentice doesn't feel likely and our strangely insane constitution against diseases really make us seem more suspicious of being non human. it could be just a gameplay thing because Hyao knows it would prolly be REALLY annoying if we literally HAD to craft a cure before a timer so he left it as a plot hole for the sake of not making us suffer. but off that and on what we might be, the teacher did have notes on lycans in his stuff, so maybe the reason we know nothing about ourselves is because we are a cured werewolf our master took in after curing and a side effect of the "true cure" is amnesia? maybe the quest/place/whatever the master is doing is going to a place infested with Lycans and he is going to save the people and cure the Lycans, which would also explain why his notes never had a cure. not because he couldn't but because he took those notes with him! this one is mostly pure speculation though since our character would prolly notice if notes were missing unless the teacher happened to have like 2 copies one of which was finished and one which was the original but never got completed.
the Wererat idea though I severely doubt. I'm pretty sure they aren't created via humans being infected but are born of a mother and father ratkin. however, I don't have any proof for or against this, just that it seems unlikely to me. plus, if they were created via infection, that means Scrap was once human and he would prolly remember that and his story wouldn't be "embrace the whore rat" or "act more human" and instead be "embrace the whore rat" or "remember your old self". so only the route about being more human like would really change.... but still, point stands. and the wererats would prolly have caused our MC more concern if they could infect people since they were so close to the town and could infect everyone. but the resistance to spectral fever is something I don't understand at all. maybe they had a plague and eventually evolved into a resistance to it? or it could be a not a disease to them and only to us? maybe it's being inhuman which gives the resistance? which would in a sorta funny way add credence to us being inhuman as well lol. hope we find out why they are resistant to it so we theorize about ourselves.
also how long we had been with the master was stated in the beginning, just a couple months. it's literally ONLY mentioned in the intro from what I remember though so it seems really easy to miss.
but off us being a werewolf or such, what else could we be if not human? maybe a homunculus? we don't know if those exist in this world and if they do it could explain some stuff about us. such as the strength increases passively with nearly no limit and how we stayed with our master. maybe we think we found the teacher, but he actually created us and the reason he left was to deal with rumors/the consequences of our creation? or someone else made us and he realized what we are and took us in to protect us until we could protect ourselves from others who would seek to use our power.
I would say demon or something similar but we meet Viccoria and she would absolutely notice if we were a demon or such, plus it would appear demons are weakened by sunlight and we are completely unaffected by it so I highly doubt this idea. maybe I'm missing something though.
another idea though could be a sort of Fae creature? like how Feliar is a Satyr we might be some sort of... I don't actually have anything since all the Fae creatures I know have major visual identifications like fairies with wings and Satyrs with the goatlike features. but if anyone has a creature humanlike please share it!
maybe we are human, but a human who was experimented on and eventually discarded as a failed product and we don't remember it because we just got into an accident or something and met the master? or we are aware of it and remember but hide it from everyone and it just hasn't come into lore yet so it's not been mentioned?
and again, even if a stretch, really fun ideas! so long as your enjoying it I bet Hyao is happy about this :) and I also like thinking about possibilities in the future of the game, but you had some ideas I don't think I could ever come up with on my own lmao. even without a good amount of evidence, they have just about enough stuff to make them mostly possible! I hope we find at least one thing about ourselves so we can confirm/deconfirm our theories and stuff.
Are you planning on adding more Logan content he is my favorite character that's why I'm asking
YESYESYES!
I know right I really hope they add more hearts for him
yeah he will get more content later. any character in the relation log will eventually get more stuff lol.
i need some help here i need to complete the orc war event but i need to talk with korg about the commander but korg has left so i have no idea how to tell him about the fair in bareshade can someone help me?
Once he left, he will never return (in this current update), so I suggest you to load your previous save back and play again.
So, there is a bug happening with Rhot that when you try to get him to visit you the second night of you resting in the shrine he does not come. I kept sleeping in the shrine for over 50+ days and he didn't show up. (I think it's his first heart quest thing)
Did you tell him that he needs to ask you a permission to visit you? I choose he don't need a permission and he visit me every night.
It doesn’t give me the option to do that, I’m at the part where you have to wait for him to stalk you two times, the first time worked nominally but the second one doesn’t appear.
How many Rhot's like you got? But I think you got enough since you can trigger the first event. So, the last one you need is luck, since I think it's RNG to trigger the event.
So i played a bit and reach quite a good portion of the game and was wondering if there would be a possibility of adding a new event in the full moon event where the player could actually decide to become a werewolf in order to save a friend in danger and again its just an idea but it would be cool if it happened and this would activate a new form for the main character where he can decide when to transform either during battle or during exploration
it would be neat but it would take a lot of rewriting the early game to add. essentially it's a good idea but would take forever to actually add even if hard focused for a couple months straight. I also planned to list everything that would need changes but my arm started hurting from typing it so I stopped lmao.
how do i get the lets have some fun part with Everett ?
After found him have fun with Booner, go talk to him again at the Outpost and there should be a new conversation appeared.
I love Everett´s embarrassed face <3. He looks adorable.
Agree!
will there be a new continent in future updates?
Maybe and may not, but I don't think we will get a new continent in the next or sooner update. Since the story have not mention about the new town or villages.
How updated is the wiki? I checked it to see how to raise Bernard to three hearts, and it says that if I visit his shop at 55 likes, he'll invite me to his place. I'm currently at around 70, and I don't have access to this third heart. 🤔
Have you check your relationship logs? It should show what you need to do next (both quest tab and talk tab). And have you ever had sex with Caleb?
I found what I was supposed to do. I checked the quest log and saw that there was more of the wolf quest that I was supposed to do, and then I was able to progress. 😅
I'm glad to hear that.
Ok, so bug report, i'm not into orcs, so i left krog go his way (green orc) , but that softlocked the game, and the "missing scout" mission is unfinishable, hope the dev reads this, i tried even starting from beggining with a new save
I'm not sure what is "Missing Scout" mission. But yes, some event especially with Country Road event, need Korg to trigger the event.
Its 1 mission from everett, but some time ago, it worked without any problems, it would be really great to give players choice of partners, cause im really not into orcs
Unfortunately, Korg is some kind of key character for main story event like Orc's war and Northcrest event. So if he left, it's mean some main event will be softlocked. I hope for alternative way to process the event too.
Yeah, me too, thanks for the info, although its odd that before there was no problem with that
I hope Logan will get to join the sleepover event eventually, maybe under the guise of “watching Caleb in case he attacks”
Then it'll turn to be foursome with werewolves. Interesting indeed.
Hyao? Could we have a Xmas event, where Everett dresses as Santa and visits Bareshade or something like that xD?
I dont know if I've missed or passed something on my playthrough but I just recently noticed that I dont have relation profile for Everett. Also cant gift him... help
Have you found him have fun with Booner in the Northcrest market at night?
Pretty much. I've done all quests the game can offer...
Have you check in your relationship logs? There should show all things about him and what you have/haven't done with him. Like this
how do i get more likes from Everett
You can give him a gift, and do some event with him and Feliar at Feliar's place.
(Slr been busy with work). I can't even find his name in the relations page. And wierd thing, I believe Gunnar was supposed to disappear in the relations page. He is still on mine.
That's weird, since if Gunnar should not show on your logs, it's mean you have finished the Northcrest event which you should have met Everette so many times. Are you sure that you have found him and Booner? And I have seen some bugs report about Gunnar's relationship log too. I think Hyao will fix it's in the next update.
what gift can i give to bernard it seams i cant get any more likes from talking and i cant do some quest without it
You can give him a fine wine and a kiss (if you have his love enough). Also, if you want to raise his like, you can talk to him and help his works. It's a daily repeatable way to raise his like.
yeah i have a ton of fine wine but i cant give it to him and the option "ask if he needs any help" dont give any like anymore (it used to give but dont give anymore )
Have you try offer your service for a day? That could help too.
will there be a way for me to get orc brute into the prison ?
Not so sure about that. They still don't have a plan for that in current update. But in the future, they may.
Ever since the past few updates the app keeps crashing on my Android device, and I honestly don't know what to do. I can't even click fast on text since that increases chances of the game crashing. Is this an optimization problem?
In case it's relevant, my phone runs Android 12 and has 2GB of RAM. If anyone has any advice at all I'd highly appreciate it!
Have you
try upgrading android to the current version (13)? I'm not sure about android platform. But upgrading your OS and mobile OS may help. And may I ask? Have you ever had the same, or at least the similar problem, with another games?Hey, just a question
Is the "beardog" thing not finished yet or I'm just dumb?
The "beardog" thing I refers to is that dialogue that between Rose, a hunter and a lady that happens when you enter Bareshade. It's said that both the hunter and the lady saw a white thing around Bareshade, one think it is a bear and the other that it was a dog.
After that Rose appears and says that the MC will be checking the situation for them, but I never saw her mention it since.
It is already done and I'm just not able to figure it out who is the "beardog" or is it an unfinished questline?
Baerdog's name is Garuik. You can find him since 0.45 update at New Road while maintaining the road during 22:00 – 6:00 Also, you can invite him to your house once during 22.00 - 00.00 in 0.49 update. (If you have invited him but you come home later than 00.00, the event will trigger in the next night at the same time in your house.)
And his content is written by guest writer Urso, so you need to wait for it like another guest writer characters.
Oh ok, now I get it. Thanks man
So..
Can you get with the Cthulhu guy? 👀
Also, this might be a problem
Nvm, I’m dumb, I fixed it
You can have sex with him but otherwise currently, no. You can't (sadly) get with Nameless.
Well, good to know..
Now I just gotta get to that part
So I've seen on the update that there's a chance to fight Barrel at Wrestling at the fair on a Sunday. I've faced him and got 2 options - fair fight or throw the fight. It says there's an alternate if Barrel has ever slept over which I'm sure he has.
It says there's a round 2 in your house that same night but it's not showing up at all for me and idk what I'm doing wrong.
Also, there's no option to approach Barrel in the tavern now and idk why
I think you said about 0.58 update which available for Patreon supporter only. I think you need to put spoiler tag.
[Spolier]
That's weird, I think this event did not require any special requirement except winning or losing him in Westling fight. Have you done a belly fun with Harold and Barrel yet? And what is you conclusion in Northcrest conspiracy event? Did you tell all info about Bandit's camp to Everrete?
Belly fun? No. There's no option for it when talking to Harold. As for the bandit camp, there's no option to tell Everett about it either, but I'm fully up to date with the Northcrest side of things
Can you screenshot your event logs? I want to know how to process and why there are no "Belly fun" in Harold's dialogue since it doesn't require any special requirements except his like (if I remember correctly).
What exactly do you need from my event logs?
Actually I want to know what you haven't done with him. But you can check in Relationship logs instead. Like this
where can I find good armour to equip because the stuff I got rn is meh but I mean GOOD armour (for charisma or appearance stats personally)
Raise your lewd fame around bareshade and you can ask Rose, the tailor, for access to slutty clothes that raise your charm (tease accuracy) and lewdness (tease strength), you can also make a wig from the hair you get from beating the nymph and a harness rarely from beating Barrel, the chubby bandit.
many thanks
How I can continue the Black Wolf Quest? Im stuck at the finding clues in the Mythcore
Can you screenshot your event logs? I want to see how your process the game.
Sure
If I remember correctly, all I do is just checking every grid on the map. Especially at Paulo house on the top right of the map.
Hm, okay. Thanks
Unsure if you have found it after all.
A prompt appeared for me on the bottom Spyglass (E3) "Look for clues regarding the 'Black Wolf'"
I'm unsure if you have to visit Paul's place first, but there is dialogue over there too.
Already found it, but thx for the help
Yup I am also stuck don't know what to do any help
Hi, I'm playing on windows, is there a way to rename/name tamed creatures in the stable? (i.e. raptor horse or dog) i cant find a way to do so.
try and do the go outside option in the hut. I'm pretty sure you click who wanna name then and it's done.
In your house, choose "Check outside" >> "Check on the animals". You can name all your tamed animals here.
Ah help. Recently, I switched from Windows PC to Mac, but I'm not sure how to transfer the save file to the Mac.zip version. I've already got a copy of my previous saves from the pc.
Help. I cant explore the snowy mountain. I already equipped the proper armor and drank the potion but game wont allow me to do anything.
have you gotten the letter from scar and told him you were leaving?
Huh?? xD. I did that ages ago. My objective is to trigger the ruins from update 0.56:
Fun Fact: In Relationship logs, there're 2 characters that have a random (actually it does have a set of words but it still randomly) occupation and it change almost every time you click their plus icon.
One is Caleb, his occupation can be "Warewolf" "Good Boy" "Bad Boy" "Knot for hire" "Awoo Barks CEW" and "Wuff Wuff.
And second one is Hugo, his occupation can be "Sure" "Sup" "What's that?" "Uh-huh" and "Professional Sniffer."
That's indeed a fun fact
I love how Caleb be a Good boy as an occupation.
my bad y'all i messed up. update came out lol
Not a problem. Besides there isnt too important content on this update anyways :p
I want to know how I can have sex with Orgram.
currently, there are no content for Orgram. So i guess you have to wait for some months.
Guys! A new 0.57 update for non-patreon player and 0.58 for patreon supporters has been released!
i really need more guide how to make this a perfect adventure game i'm really i'm bad at it
I suggest you to play as you wish
The game is not finished yet, if you don't like something, just create a new save and play in a different path
ok
Make a lot of save for your critical decision could help too.
i did that in the previous one but that was a long time ago since this is the new update i have to make another one i guess i'm just start over seriously how was a really good at it before now i forgot how to do it again got damn it i wish i could just recorded for put in notes or save in the different files back then i only save in one file at a time or the same files
I'm locked out of the quests because of low likes with Bernard. I tried buying fine wine but it doesn't show up as gift and Bernard isn't there at night.
The option to hunt on Friday is also not showing up.
// Ah nvm I had to ask him about it in talk every week
Have you tried to help his work? It's a daily repeatable event that help you raise his like.
Ohh thanks.
I have a question, is this update big because it's late?
We don't have an update this month because Hyao took August to rest. As someone else said in a comment, maybe we will get an update at the end of the month or next month
When will the update be released?
Hyao said that he plans to release the new update in this month.
help, I swear, for the past 2 hour's I've been looking for wolf's den and I know it's in the forest next to my house but no matter how may time's I try I cant find it. Please help.
Did you play in Bottom Logan route (Red route for Bandit's camp event)? You can find wolven den only in Normal Logan route.
But Bottom Logan is best Logan
Hello. Kind of stumped, I am on my last quest, the one where you have to prove to the orcs you are strong and I got to the part where the leader ask to kill red orcs. Thing is when I go to the camp it tells me to go back. Did I do the quest too late?
Not the camp. He meant BIG red orcs. The ones that is tainted.
(If I remember correctly)
Yes, the sexy ones xD
Thanks.
If I'm not mistaken, we won't have the new update until the end of September, just like last year.
Does Nameless only appear when I do the lizard tribe good ending ? Cause I want to do another route where I do the opposite of what I did in my first route.
[Spoiler]
Yes, he still appear when you finish the Lizard quest in good route.
So... does he appear if I do the bad ending for lizard quest ?
I'm not sure about that. But I think he still appear in the next event in Northcrest even you do a bad ending in Lizard's event.
I might be wrong but do we get an update this month or does Hyao get a well-deserved rest? There was a month in which Hyao makes a break, yes?
He mentioned a while back that updates would be around the 5th or 6th, so it isn't technically late. He hasn't mentioned an hiatus so let's be patient a little longer :)
What is the image of your profile? I am curious :)
I believe it is Hulkling and Wiccan making smoothies :P
he said August was his break on his patreon recently, so I don't think this month has an update and next month will.
Thats what I thought. But I wasnt sure XD. Thanks for confirming it
I'm very curious about what is going to be
hope logan has more romantic route
Same, I enjoy teasing him too much
Im stuck at the quest "Orc War" where I have share my information with korg.? I can't find him at my house anymore but I think it has something to do with the choice I made along time ago. Where can I find him?
Oh you probably gave a love potion making the quest locked out completely
Oh.. I hope they fix this.
I may've missed this before, but is there an in-depth explanation anywhere of your home and the things you can do there? While I find everything fairly intuitive, I find myself confused on some of the mechanics, such as the Defence, Pheromones, etc of the hideout, and how the pets work, such as how dominance and like effects interactions, if at all. If anyone could offer an explanation of these, or point me in the right direction, it'd be very much appreciated!
I can explain some things but even after playing for a long ass time I have no idea what others do (namely pheromones, like they exist but I have no clue what they do). also most that I know is pretty basic and just the stuff you craft from the build menu.
also atm I only know of one use for defense and that's when you have low like with the bandits, it prevents them from breaking into the hut when the MC is sleeping. maybe Pheromones make it so they are horny when they break in so it's easier to get the tease win against them?
here is the basics you can do in the house; Crafting weapons and some other items after you build the workshop.
craft potions and study recipes from random stuff in the world.
keep animals like a Wolbauk, Horse, Raptor, Wolf and Dog.
grow certain plants at home so you don't need to ever leave the hut or go to annoying places for certain items.
keep prisoners of war you kidnap from random locations/hold people who are not currently in control of their body or mind.
store items you don't want to clutter your inventory so you can get to other items quicker when out and about.
you can also chop wood outside and check on animals and name them stuff. I named my wolf Amicus lol.
dominance is if they will listen to you, if they have low dominance, they will listen to your commands but if they have high dominance they just do as they please instead of listening. similar to prisoners.
like is how you learn new stuff, if your pet/mount doesn't have enough like they physically cannot learn anything new. but once they reach a certain threshold, they can be taught new stuff. like the wolf can help in battle and the dog can search the area around the house for items like berries and stuff!
I can't think of anything else but anyone who does it would be welcome if they added stuff in!
Ah, thank you so much for the help! I've been playing the game for a little over two years now, but realized that I'd never actually found out what certain things did/effected, and considering the wiki lacked depth on a few things I just thought it best to ask hahaha.
Admittedly, I didn't even know the bandits broke into the house at low like, but what you mentioned definitely seems likely! I'd thought it may have something to do with prisoners or pets, but had come up short in terms of results after maxing out their like and dominance at the same rate as normal.
Might mess with things and report back in how it goes, but thank you again for your input!
glad it was helpful! if you find out I'm wrong or discover something new sharing it would be nice! it could get added the wiki :D
It has been a while since I offered to play around with the ideas, but I am back with my findings! Obviously, I need to preface this by saying that I can't guarantee this is all right, but this is what I observed with the ideas we had. Also, there's a tl;dr at the bottom if you don't want to read it all.
Ok so, we'd discussed the Aphrodisiac section possibly affecting the Bandits breaking in, and thus, I tested that out first. First of all, choosing to let Korg stay with you makes it impossible for the Bandits to break in at all as he disposes of them before they can make an attempt. However, in the event he is not staying with you, the earliest I got the bandits to break in was Day 11/12 with -100 Like - This was a new save where I used the cheat console to progress what I needed to. Regardless of how full the Aphrodisiac bar is, the Bandits will remain hostile with no initial libido, suggesting that it does not affect them. I only went as high as 100 Aphrodisiac (10 used), but I think there would've been some indication if it had worked. This did at least show me that, in the event they do break in and then leave, the players' house gains 20 defence which goes up by 20 each time they attempt and fail to break in following that.
Following this, I thought it may affect the pets as they're also housebound. In my playthrough, I have 100 Aphrodisiac on my house and noted that the Wolf and Dog have a scene unlike the other animals, so took to testing this theory too. However, I quickly found that this is just another scene the Wolf and Dog have built into them after reaching enough Dominance over the player - I believe it starts at Dominance 30, with little change to the scene at the cap of 50 Dominance.
Finally, I also have six prisoners in the same playthrough - 2 Ratkin, 2 Werewolves, and 2 Lizardmen - and debated whether the 100 Aphrodisiac had affected them without my notice, as many had come after I added it. Thus, in the new save, I caught a Lizardman and did the same test, interacting with him before and after applying the Aphrodisiac, and I found that it changed his manner from a cold, stern one, to one reminiscent of the Tainted Lizardmen below the temple. I also noticed that it seems to make their passive text more sexual, such as openly masturbating, thrusting through the bars, or engaging with you while you're already playing with another in the cell. I am unaware if prisoners can usually escape as I've never had the issue arise, but if it is a feature then I'd imagine it likely makes it less likely the more you use/prevents them from doing so. Otherwise, it's simply a bar to fill for lustful flavour text and maybe some scene variation.
Overall, I don't think the Aphrodisiac is as useful for the house as, say, Defence, but probably worth it if you're playing entirely for the hornier scenes. My apologies that I took so long to get around to this, but hopefully this helps with general understanding!
tl;dr - Aphrodisiac only affects prisoners, giving them a hornier attitude and maybe some lewd scene variation.
We've been getting updates the 5th and 7th of each month. Maybe Hyao will upload the .57 version later today or in the next two days :)
