Ellie isn’t as simple as she seems :) The obedience indicator will change as you progress through the game and choose the correct answers, but this functionality is still in progress.
Melanie won’t go anywhere; there will be a chance to make up for lost time. I will post here a small game soon called “Special Fun” which is a plot fragment dedicated to a single individual character, and there you can start a kind of relationship with Melanie. But her sister... she is a serious lady, with certain interests. She’s not for Sardo.
Regarding Jenna, in the old versions of the game, before the prologue was redone, there used to be some art scenes related to what Jenna saw, but in the updated version we decided to move this content to the mansion, so that it looked like additional content, not as the main element of the plot.
Although the Arkuen mansion is in the forest, there will be explanations regarding its safety later in the plot. It is not as unguarded as it might seem at first glance. We just need some more time to finish the story quest concerning this.
Yes, we will upload the new game to itch.io for sure. We can't tell you the exact dates when it happens as there is a lot of work to do, but we are doing our best! You can find the latest information on our Patreon page.
We are currently transferring the game to another engine, and adapting the game not only for Windows but and for Android, macOS, and browsers, so that it will be possible to play it on most platforms without any technical difficulties that players encountered before
I agree with you on most of the things you covered. The previous versions of the game suffered from low-quality translation. But from version 0.2.0 and on, we pay more attention to both proofreading and cleaning localization. Although I doubt that we achieved a high-level translation, we corrected most of the errors and put the whole English text into the most appropriate form. We did the best we could. It took us about half a year to change and modify the game: we improved both some interface elements and some mechanics significantly. The result of that work can be seen in version 0.2.1. The changes also affected the plot: lots of stuff was changed.
As for the appearance, and the characters of the heroes, I want to comment here in more detail.
We agree that Elli’s clothes were inappropriate, especially the first set that Sardo bought for her in Aklorion. As for the second set, maybe there is something wrong with it, but we like it. Elli will get something new later, so everything will gradually change as the game develops. As for Umi, it’s a different story. Yes, her first iteration, in the form in which she was before version 0.2.1, was an annoying character. I tried too hard to create an irritable character. In version 0.2.1, we strongly revised both her appearance and her nature as well as many events related to her. Perhaps she is still annoying, but now she has something more to catch the players’ attention.
If you have time to play the game again, we will be interested to know if your opinion about Umi will change, as well as about the whole game.
Perhaps the problem is that the links were deleted. I apologize for that. But, now there is a recent version of the game. It’s better to start playing the game from version 0.2.1 :)
There is little left from version 0.0.4 in the game. We changed a lot in it, including the plot. Mainly, that applies to the versions coming after 0.2.0. :)
Yeah, Chapter 1 in version 0.2.1 is ready for about 30%, not to mention that there is Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 :-D The game needed a considerable revision, which we had been up to for some time, and starting with version 0.2.2 we completely focused on the continuation of the plot.
I apologize for not replying before. If you are talking about the cloaks that were bought at the slave market, you need to go to the Aahrun who is standing next to the cage with the girls. The game has a walkthrough guide that can be found on our Patreon page.
