Love the idea but the execution is really strange to me. Already joking around, talking and meeting people one day after you long-term partner's death took me right out of the emersion.

Choices are often pretty much the same just worded differently, this was very obvious when you ask Travis/Tracee if they are okay with being at your place. 6 answers that are all a variant of "I don't (really) believe you", not even one that's just "okay then" or anything along those lines. We are a grieving person who just lost their partner, all of the light-heartedness, joking, and banter feels extremely cold to me, like Elias/Ellie meant nothing to us.

Maybe you wanted it that way to make it easier for the player, I just wish you would have at least one route that lets the player actually grief and the writing reflect that.

That was amazing. I normally avoid games where I have to play a child, and I did avoid all romantic options because it feels a bit off considering Mordred's age, but I just sent the link to several people so they too can get whiplash from this game.

I've changed from loving to hating certain characters multiple times, when the truth finally came out, I slapped the table in outrage and ran to Arthur to hug him.

Now I've taken the stance that everyone but daddy is evil, I want to take Arthur away so we can build a new Camelot, with blackjack and dragons, far away from these treacherous people and unholy place.

Can't wait to see how it continues.

Uhm, I actually agreed with you. The backlash you got for your comments is exactly because of what you just did, being extremely emotional that it borders on being rude. Again, I agreed with you, I thought that was obvious by saying "I agree with you", and even gave you a rec for something that's probably more to your taste. You are so up in arms that you lash out at someone who agreed with you that the characterisation isn't great when one plays as straight, I defended your opinion, but all you got from it is that I called you raging, which you were, just like now. You seriously need to calm down and reflect, because you seem unaware of how your comments sound.

I actually feel bad for you, people here seem to have completely misunderstood what you were saying.

I love this IF, it’s by far one of the most promising I’ve followed in the past few years, but I do agree that MC’s characterisation is very feminine, or better put “BL typical”.
If the player choses their MC to be into women, then he shouldn’t act like a fair maiden when touched, kissed, etc. by another man, the average straight dude would feel at least uncomfortable if not outright grossed out. He wouldn’t blush.
I understand why you are upset about the characterisation; the MC was either written with a female MC in mind, or he’s heavily intended to be gay/bi.

While I still love the game, I can totally see why it’s disappointing for someone expecting to be able to play as a genuinely straight man.

But. You have to keep in mind that people on here aren’t professionals, and most IF devs women, it’s hard for layman to write the opposite gender, hell, many professionals can’t even do it.
You have valid criticism and stating it calmly, explaining it properly, might even help the dev to improve – but there’s no point in being rude or raging.

Maybe IFs from the “choice of/hosted games” brand would be better for you, they cater more to straight people, and if you are into superheroes/villains, I highly recommend  the "Fallen Hero" series, which does all sexualities exceptionally well.

I was reluctant to buy it despite my interest from the moment it was announced due to too many devs running away with the money during development, now I got it in the Ukraine bundle and played it non-stop (the choice to include it was very fitting, although sad).

Amazing game, great story, some battles are just damn frustrating, the hit chance of status effects seems way too high compared to how many items you can find to cure them, I ran out of nearly everything, including healing items, by the end of chapter 2.

A way to compare equipment would be great as well, having to switch them out just to see the stats is quite tedious when you have a bunch of stuff.

Apart from that, I really enjoyed it and hope the devs will finish it, I want to know how their story ends.

How will you handle the 18+ aspects on Steam, will there be a SFW version and we download a patch somewhere, or will it be the 18+ release only?

I'm from Germany and Steam no longer shows us sexual games, if it's the latter then I'll buy it here :)

Such a haunting experience, the suffocating feeling, the desperation, a crushing weight that brought tears to my eyes.

I would have never thought of this metaphor and will keep it in mind for when I have to explain addiction to someone.

The moment your friend says that you are the only one in the photo really shows the true nature of drugs, all the comfort they provide, the “happiness”, is an illusion only you can see.

Really a splendid game.
