Played this game a couple times through a while back, hoping to find a perfect/good playthrough, but I don't think that is in the author's vision for the game as I couldn't get through the game without my character either getting c*cked, abandoning his ideals, or his friends/country with seemingly no hope of ever turning the tables on his captors/tormentors.
I know that dark fantasy means that there is f*cked things going on, but I would still like to play as the idealized hero that can turn the tide and prevent or subvert disaster through my strength, charm, and quick thinking. After several playthrough, I just don't think that is a possibility that will ever be implemented.
So yeah just more dark fantasy where the only real way to play is the bad/selfish guy who only looks out for himself or want to go on a power-trip. Which is a shame too, because I genuinely liked the art style and some of the characters, like the matron goblin merchant, the elf assistant, and some of the other minor characters.
I know what you mean, especially with the whole "Will you be able to change the course of history and maintain your heroic spirit, or will you live to become the undoing of everything you once fought for?" which, I guess is a no to that first part.
A difference of perspective. The game repeatedly forces Rowan to pick the lesser of two evils, precisely because he is trapped in an untenable position by powers far stronger than he is. It sounds like you want there to be some secret 3rd option where good really does triumph over evil and everyone gets their happily ever after ending.
Yeah, I don't think that is ever going to be in the cards. There is no super duper secret happy ending. Being faithful to his wife means tossing his female apprentice to the orc horde to be gangbanged. Why? Cause that's the game the demon twins are playing, and they make the rules. Rowan can choose to save her from that fate, but that means he's going to have to cheat on his wife. Those are the options, and neither is ideal. There is no secret option where Rowan can magic/logic/talk/trick his way into saving the apprentice without violating his marital vows.
The game is not just an asshole simulator, and pretending that's all there is to it is very dishonest. You can make virtuous choices, but they come with sacrifices. Can Rowan and his relationships survive the hardships necessary to maintain his ideals? Maybe, up to a point. But the hard part is figuring out when to push back, and how hard you can without getting Rowan and others killed in the process; and yeah, always picking the most noble option every time is just not going to work here.
Sorry if that cramps your style, but this game doesn't pull its punches here. This game is not a power fantasy, subversive or otherwise. You as Rowan suffer a series of unfortunate events, and are forced to make the best out of an awful situation; there is no clear and obvious path to righteousness. Either you're down for this dark journey to hell laid with the best of intentions, or you're not. It's not like there aren't dozens of isekai harem fantasies to play if you don't want an experience that challenges you.
First, I don't want a perfect ending. I just want a way to use all the skills, relationships, and previous choices that I spent the meat of my time developing to actually have an effect, and yes ideally help me skirt at least some of the negative consequences of the story, even if I have to make morally gray options to get there. Otherwise the hero of the story can't actually be a hero, and we, the player, are just getting drug through one f*cked scenario after another with no real point, to any of the levelling up or relationship building with the other characters.
Ironically enough, I think it was Helayna's daydream of her and the hero turning the tables and dominating the twins that turned me onto the idea that that was where this game was going, as it seemed like foreshadowing, but I kept waiting for my heroic opportunity to strike back, turn the tables, or use my connections to lessen impact of my options even a little bit and it never came.
So yeah, I like the goal/idea of allowing for the player to slowly turn the tables and gain the upper hand on his captors and potentially choosing to do the right thing or simply replace take his captors place as dark lord or whatever, as that seems much more interesting and dynamic than this 'damned if you do, cucked if you don't' excuse for torture porn, where all my preparations and connections mean diddly d*ck to the overall narrative.
In the end, I just wanted to state with my OG comment that this is a typical "dark fantasy" game, in that its just a poor excuse of a game made to showcase the most f*cked up, sadistic, and depressing scenarios, fetishes, and ideas that the author has crawling around in their mind.
After playing on Steam all I have to say is this: there needs to be a guide.
I can't remember where I left off but it was something involving the goblins and it was a long long time ago. All I kept thinking of was "why isn't there a guide out there yet?"
Sure, there's a guide to get CGs but not a guide to get through the game itself. We need that
It's a game with potential, but it has limiting mechanics. The main thing about this game is exploring the map, but there is a limited amount of how far you can walk, 99% of the time you will walk through nothing and time will run out and go to the next week, you don't know where the places are. and stay there until the demons kill you and it's game over.
I've played this game before, and recently I also started a playthrough together with my GF. We are doing role play based on the game, she reads the females lines and I do the male ones. We have so fun together.
And in a week I'm going to go on a rather long trip to see her, so I thought I'd make my own playthrough on my android phone. But when I try to install the apk I get a message that it's incompatible with my device.
Off* the Yaoi* and yes at least I can in the Steam version of the game. Though it's pretty obvious what leads to scenes so you can basically just choose to not pick gay scenes either.
This is quite a good game so far - one MAJOR complaint is that you can't scroll or pan during the exploration - you're basically wandering blind and it's very frustrating
Some are on the full release, it's...complicated lol. Some older scenes get reworked and I've seen quite a few of the older ones as well before changes, basically don't expect consistency atm but it's not toooo jarring imo though easily noticeable especially with the MCs Wife.
Currently trying to get Rastadel. Already met with mysterious woman, got goblins, and see Jezera with half minotaur. How do I progress from there. I only have like 17 weeks left and going to Rastadel doesn't seem to lead to anything new

I am sad.

Is there a solution?
Nvm
I managed to install it
happy for you man, (•-•)7
Did.. Did this dude just purposely commented that to brag? 🤨

Can I turn of the Yoai?
Off* the Yaoi* and yes at least I can in the Steam version of the game. Though it's pretty obvious what leads to scenes so you can basically just choose to not pick gay scenes either.
If you want the latest version of the game, it's available on f95. I think the devs forgot this site exists.
The real MVP!
Can you avoid getting ntr'ed?
You can actually, i managed on my first walk-through to cook-hold the red bastard that wanted to ntr my unfertile wife.
Question: What is the depth of the pregnancy system?
Last time i played there where none as far as i remember.
was as dissapointed as you.
But still the story makes up for it.
This is quite a good game so far - one MAJOR complaint is that you can't scroll or pan during the exploration - you're basically wandering blind and it's very frustrating
Agree with you, but i think that was made on purpose to give the game some dificulties.
Else no one would be able to fail the time given to do your mission on time.
Are sex scenes animated?
Some are on the full release, it's...complicated lol. Some older scenes get reworked and I've seen quite a few of the older ones as well before changes, basically don't expect consistency atm but it's not toooo jarring imo though easily noticeable especially with the MCs Wife.
