Is it just me or does anyone feel that the mother is planning something evil or just being one of those hidden main antagonist, because no matter how I look at the mother, her character, personality is just completely puzzling for a example the mother claims to fight for a peaceful coexistense between the Ishari and Cyre but did not question the command of the "Ancient Ones" telling her to break the engagement between the princess of Ishari and the late king of Cyre which if occured would have resulted in doom for the Ishari and which still happened due to the war, the MC is in and now this is the confusing part, why did she have the MC with a Cyre man and not just a ordinary Cyre but one that is used to be the general of the bloodguards, a very high posistion in Cyre and one that is the equivalent to the mother status as high priestess, since both gives them right to stand atleast equal with the king and queen of they kingdom, so doesn't this seem too strange or weird especially she mention in a letter to the family in vinia that she has found a way to end the war, like lets be honest the mother has no love for foreigners as I have seen when she for no reason at all turn hostile on Elora the heir to vinia for just checking on the MC, it would have made sense if the hostility was shown towards to Anu for letting us to touch the divine weapon or Irus due to his aethist nature but this does not happen from what I have seen so far and she only directs such anger towards Elora whose nation practically respresent the mother's Ideals of equality amongst religion and what is even more strange is Ahlf hiding the letters from us that she writes which at this point we can tell when Ahlf was alive and wanted do something, he was doing it with good intentions, so that begs the question what on earth did the mother wrote that Ahlf didn't want us to know or protect us from, and another things that bothers my mind about her is the reason for bringing the infant MC to Cyre and which she explained that she did it to loose the bloodguards of they trail which just sounds like bullshit, and it would have made sense if she didn't just run back to the Ishari she was "Fleeing away from" with the MC and the people that she mentioned about that reside in Ishari that hate the MC due to they former bloodguard father, are not even a threat or they are not that many that hate them for it, so no matter how the mother explains it, she got zero reason for leaving us behind in Salt bay, the only good thing about abandoning the MC is that they were not entangle with her mad lies at a young age
Hi there, thanks for playing the game and leaving a comment 😊
Salyra's whole purpose is to serve the Ancient Ones - but that doesn't make her infallible. She makes mistakes but it's also hard for her to own those mistakes and admit that she can be wrong. It's up to you to decide if the message/vision she received from the Ancient Ones was one that couldn't be changed or one that was caused by her meddling in the betrothal of Lamahu and Erlan.
Salyra married Ahlf because she thought her union with him would inspire peace between Ishari and Cyre - if you go down the divinity route and uncover the truth of Salyra's ritual when the MC was a baby, you'll learn that she thought having a child with both heritages who could wield their divinity would achieve peace. Don't lose sight of the fact Ishari was part of Cyre before the war - a lot of people on either side if the kingdoms like to ignore that fact, but Cyre and Ishari were one kingdom often ruled by Ishari royalty before Erlan started the war. Salyra didn't see an issue of being with Ahlf because she thought people would be reminded of this unified past and try to work together.
Salyra doesn't like Irus because he's the son of Erlan. She loves Anu, because Anu was trained under her regarding her divinity. She really hates Elora because Elora has proven to be capable and strong, openly defying Salyra which Salyra doesn't like.
In order to understand Salyra's character (I'm assuming you're going down the aggressive route with her), you'll need to understand she's a very flawed character. She is written to be narcissistic and controlling and if you're not going to appease her, you'll end up getting a lot of her more negative traits flaring up 😅
A lot of the confusion you have is valid - but that's the point. You have to come up with your own reasonings why Ahlf and Salyra acted the way they did and then decide if that's something your MC is okay with or not. You don't have to play a loving child - you won't be punished for hating the parents and it won't affect the outcome of the game other than your relationship with them. There are quite a few side stories on my Patreon that explore the past history of Salyra and Ahlf, but it's not part of the main plot which follows the MC's decisions and not Ahlf or Salyra's decisions.
Thank you for your opinion author, I love this game, to bring out such emotions that my mc feel angry/conflicted towards the mother but his little sister Rana is still that one diamond in the rough that my Mc treasures
I just spent all day playing this. I'm so deeply in love with it, the characters, the story, it's all so well written! Well done, I can't wait for the full game!!!! The first game to genuinely cause me bi-panic lol!
Thank you so much! I'm so happy you enjoyed playing through the demo 💖 Progress is still going strong on the newer chapters so hopefully it won't be too long for the full game 😊
I genuinely might buy this in both itch.io and steam when it releases because it is so worth it, It's almost 5 in the morning and I just spent the last 5 hours playing through the public demo and absolutely fell in love with every character
It is very rare I find a tale that grips me enough for me to lose 4 hours on it to the exclusion of all else. I found myself invested in every character. And I know that tomorrow I'll be running a second playthrough.
What has hit me the most is that every character, as minor as those you meet in Salt Bay, to the major romancable characters all feel human. It's not an easy thing to achieve and you have achieved it. I'm excited to see how this progresses.
Thank you so much for giving the game a try and I'm so pleased that you were able to play the game for that long without getting bored 🌼💖
It means a lot that the characters feel human! I was worried that some might come off as two-dimensional or not interesting enough so it's a huge relief that you felt otherwise. I hope you enjoy your second playthrough as much as your first 😊
This is pretty well solid and well-written. The only small issue I had with this IF is that the MC... is kind of too tamed. Even if you try to choose the "aggressive" dialogue options, It's still lukewarm, like when meeting Esmo again. Weird to see the MC almost getting hit by just standing still and waiting for someone to rescue them. Would love to see the MC being more proactive. Either way, good luck and thank you for taking the time to make this.
Thank you for taking the time to play the game 😊 Yes, I do know there's not a lot of 'aggressive' choices and I hope to add more variations to scenes when I do the full edits with additional scenes and dialogues. For now, this is a rough draft so you won't get to see everything. I'll keep your feedback in mind for the edits 🌼
Thank you! I'm so glad you're enjoying it 💖 The game will be updated for Patrons from Chapter 9 onwards and the full game will be released on Steam and here respectively 😊
Ramona I cannot explain in words with how good this is! The storyline is just perfection from the beginning I didn't know how to feel on my first gameplay but as I kept playing and playing, I couldn't help but make several save files just to replay it you inspired me to make my own story though not game because I don't kind of don't know how to code. I want to wish you an early Valentine's Day and make sure to always take time to yourself, thanks for making this amazing game! Cannot wait for the full release and I will be finally able to download it!!!!!
I really enjoyed your game a lot. I look forward to the full game already. By the way when will you be accepting new signups on Patreon? I would love to support your great work!😊
This is a genuinely great game, just kind of sad that I couldn't be as petty as I wished since I'm a petty bitch LOL! Would definitely love some options where you could give someone the silent treatment.
Really good game I love it and the prince so much and i am the only one who want to slap mc mom? >_> she is a real hoe ... kinda a bad mom too or daughter she even haven't told her mom
I finally got around to reading chapter 8, and the Elora scene 🥵? Thank you ma'am! I love her route so much, as tempting as Anu is idk if I'll ever be able to do her route with Elora distracting me. 100% gonna buy this when it's finished!
oh and when we met her cousin, and i said we were just friends and she was like "UMMMM NO" 🥺😭

No problem! I'm glad you feel so strongly about the characters 💖 Thank you again for playing 😊

Thank you so much! I'm so happy you enjoyed playing through the demo 💖 Progress is still going strong on the newer chapters so hopefully it won't be too long for the full game 😊
hey there is a way to have the sovereign's support? To not made the prince run again immediatly?
Which Sovereign are you referring to? And running off to where? You're going to end up in Ishari no matter what you choose to do.
I genuinely might buy this in both itch.io and steam when it releases because it is so worth it, It's almost 5 in the morning and I just spent the last 5 hours playing through the public demo and absolutely fell in love with every character
Aww thank you! I'm so glad you're enjoying the game 💖🥰 There's no need to buy the game on both platforms, one is more than enough! Thank you again 🌼

I'm so pissed! This game has no right being this good.
Thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying it 😊

Replayed this and I forgot how much I hate the mom 😒 also can't wait until its fully out. 😃
I think everyone's a Salyra hater by now 😅 Thank you for playing!
This is a genuinely great game, just kind of sad that I couldn't be as petty as I wished since I'm a petty bitch LOL! Would definitely love some options where you could give someone the silent treatment.
Thank you for playing! I will be adding more options and responses for the full game so keep an eye out to play a petty MC 😋

Thank you for playing 🌼 I'm so happy you enjoyed the game and Prince Irus! You're definitely not alone in hating Salyra 😋
I finally got around to reading chapter 8, and the Elora scene 🥵? Thank you ma'am! I love her route so much, as tempting as Anu is idk if I'll ever be able to do her route with Elora distracting me. 100% gonna buy this when it's finished!
oh and when we met her cousin, and i said we were just friends and she was like "UMMMM NO" 🥺😭
I'm so glad you enjoyed Elora's scene! I wasn't sure if it would be spicy or detailed enough so it's good to know you liked it 😄 Thanks for playing!
Oops, what I meant to say was it was terrible and you should totally go back and make it much longer and more detailed 😉 (/s ofc... Unleeeeesss 👀)
