Hi finn,
Sorry that you are having issues :( To better diagnose your issue, can you describe what you mean by softlock a bit more specifically? What is the last image or line before you get stuck? Thanks for trying out my game
Hi Keyria,
Aww thank you so much for sharing your epxerience with me. I re-read this several times because i was so happy to get your detailed rundown. The writing was pretty short since it was supposed to be my "break" from the main game so I'm glad you still found the story parts entertaining. Best wishes!
Hi DeadSensei,
There's so much content on pixabay that it can be kind of hard to find specific tracks. TBH I usually download a bunch while I'm deciding and picking and then I rename them to make them easier to program. I will try to list a some direct links to some of the them but if there's one I missed, feel free to ask.

Hi sugarspice_x,
This scenario happens in Simon's chapter 7 route so long as you survive any bad endings. To get on Simon's route, you want to leave the bedroom during the chapter 3 seige on the castle and follow all the action outside the front gate. When Isaac and Nate are distracted, run away and find Simon in the forest. Hope that helps but let us know if you have more questions!
Hi Cute,
A Keyria stated if you have the secondary skill you can pass the stat requirement the corresponding answer, if not there is stat+blood requirement. If It's too high, I will consider adjusting for the next update but it should be
use a gun ---> power check
play a game---> logic check
tell the truth---> empathy check
Hi there! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts. I'm very glad to read that you went back and explores all the routes, (even if you still end up settling on Isaac), as I think it helps to understand all the characters a little better by seeing other sides of them regardless if you on their particular route (or at least that was my intent lol) Best wishes <3
Hi cute jolly Emanuel,
I'm glad that you enjoyed the blood mechanic, as I wanted to make the player choices help impact the development of the story without locking the mc choices in a way that felt forced to the player that I sometimes see in star raisers. Im hoping the blood resource can give the player some more flexibility to answer more aligned how they desire rather than purely for stat checks. I will probably do an overall balance check when I finish the game but I'm happy to hear it's working for you so far. Best wishes and I hope you enjoy the other routes as well!
Hi mrose01,
I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the game enough to look forward to future updates. Was Isaac your favorite route or did you get locked in XD? As far as representing the MC or having customization I agree would be nice but as a solo dev I have to make some compromises in scope if I want to finish the project in a reasonable amount of time ( I find if I don't have a schedule to finish within a year or two it's less likely I will be able to maintain momentum.) I hope you feel the freedom to design the mc to your imagination as I love hearing about and seeing other people's ideas for the MC! Thanks again for playing and sharing your feedback.
Hi bluejay00,
I'd like to reccommend my hybrid VN / rpg
https://coffeedripstudios.itch.io/arcane-dice-wars
You can choose your gender and the battles are rock paper scissors style tactics with bonuses for unlocking story moments with your deployed units. gameplay swaps between VN, dungeon exploration and warfare. There are 6 romanceable characters but you can also go through the game with friendship routes. It's a completed story with completed side games.
Hi Leii.iiel,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts. I've mentioned before in some of my replies that this kind of interactions is why I post my stories. I'm hoping that these characters and ideas will be able to find some one who feels a connection to them. Often times I feel like the online world is just this vast open void so I'm so very happy you found my work and sent me a little message in a bottle to let me know :) best wishes on this voyage of life!
Hi Neko4chan,
I appreciate you giving it a fair shake, despite the length, as I have trouble writing short stories as it always takes me awhile to develop my characters. I'm flattered that you found it engaging up throughout the entire 8 chapters. I've been influenced by the pacing of webnovel chapters to try and keep the writing more concise than some of my previous attempts. Best wishes!
