I'm glad you liked it! I'll add that to game description--don't want anyone thinking my game is a "sequel bait" 🤣🤣🤣 but i'm guessing you're a new player, cause I always release my games for free and update them from start to finish for free, and only start charging for them a month after the 100% finished version has been released, which is why I can't see why anyone would think that. :P

I also think you might not have understood the story structure in this one. This first game focuses on DCxMathias, on the Blooming, and the machinations behind it, which were all resolved in the first game. What happens next acts as the preparation/introduction for the rest of the story, so it's not a "cliffhanger." It's the beginning of a new act. 

Big hug!

Yeeeeeesss! the girls are here!!! 

Hello there! that's so weird. If you're in the romance route as the Ruler, it should unlock! I just tried it here, and it seems to be working. Can you try to choose all the romantic options as the ruler, to see if it unlocks for you?

big hugs!

Working on it, but it might still take me a while! ❤️

Hi! Thank you for your support! Nope, not every option will change your personality :) my suggestions would be to just choose whatever feels right for your character ♥♥♥

Hi! I didn't have time to work on a guide, unfortunately, but I'll reiterate that there are *NO* bad/good endings and no wrong choices, even during the battle scenes at the end. ♥♥♥ 

In general, you have 3 personality routes and 2 relationship routes with Mathias. For the relationship, you can turn on the romance indicator on the game menu and choose the Heart options to get into Mathias's romance route. The others put you on his friendship route and allow you to have a fling with Mandra in chapter 2. As for the personality archetypes, there are 3, and they change your bonds with the characters, your past, etc:

Seeker (sweeter/conciliatory choices on top),

Destroyer (more combative/thorny choices in the middle),

and Ruler (more controlling/manipulative choices on the bottom)

If you have any specific questions about the possible outcomes, just let me know, and I'll help! This will also help me know what exactly to put in the guide, cause I honestly don't know for sure since there aren't Bad/Good endings, hahaha! XD 

Big hugs!

Hi :) there's an explanation about the different versions in this post

Hi! aww, I'm so happy you're excited to play the final version. I really appreciate your support. ♥♥♥ The game will be released on April 30th on Itch and Steam at the same time! You can read more about it on this post if you want. Thank you for your support, and if you'd like to wishlist the game on Steam, here's the link!

big hugs

I'm so happy you liked it! thank you for playing.

Please use "they/them" to refer to Mandra and Esma, cause they're both non-binary. :)

Hii! I'm so happy you like the story (and Mandra) so much ❤️❤️❤️✨ yeah, Mandra doesn't have their own romance route in the first game, but you can have a fling with them if you're playing on Mathias's friendship route. But they *will* be an RO on the next game, so yay! ;)) big hugs

aww, obrigadaaa! que mensagem mais linda i.i fiquei muito feliz aqui. 

Eu já tô trabalhando no segundo jogo da série, mas tenho alguns outros jogos lançados (não terminados) se quiser dar uma olhada. ❤️ abração!

Hi! thank you so much! i'm glad you enjoyed the game ^^

haha, that's so weird! I'd laugh too, don't worry xD I'm trying to replicate the bug with Kastian's sprite, but everything's normal here. Hopefully the problem with his sprite + the castle status was fixed with my last patch.

big hug!

Hello there! I'm so, so happy you enjoyed the game! Thank you for playing ❤️ 

The 5 routes are about the DC's personality + their relationship with Mathias: Seeker route, Destroyer route, Ruler route + friendship route + romance route (5 in total)

All the other questions will be answered with details in the next game ^^ but yeah, Filtchen and Yvana ran away, and the plot with Denraxale is a bit "foggy" on purpose, hehe. 

Also, please refer to Denraxale using "they/them" because they're non-binary.

hugs,

Ligia

Yay! I'm glad to know. Hope you have fun! 

big hugs

Thanks! I just pushed a new version with the fix, so it *should* work now. Can you update the game and test it to see if it works for you?

Thanks, you two! ♥ I just pushed a new version with the fix, so it *should* work now. Can you update the game and test it to see if it works for you?

I see. Thank you for letting me know! I'll investigate the issue and let you know when I release a fix ♥♥♥

Thanks! Can you tell me what you're trying to do when you got that?

There's a known error when trying to delete a file that was already deleted, as I explained in this post.

Hi! Thank you. I'm so glad you enjoyed the game so much! 

Please refer to Mandra using "they" because they're non-binary. :) 

Oooh, that scene has *a lot* of variations, haha! What happens in it depends on your character's personality and their relationship with Mand. Mandra only asks DC to say that when you're playing Mand's *friendship* route.

awwww ♥♥♥ thank you so so much! I'm sooo happy that you enjoyed it! *-*♥ and a massive thank you for the message you sent on tumblr too! I'll answer it in a few weeks, so it won't count as a spoiler anymore! hahaha ♥ big hug!

Hi! Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! Yes, I'm already working on the next game. I'll announce the release date in my devlogs over the next months ♥
