If it's written, it'd be much easier for me. I'd be honoured to participate! Thank you for wanting to spread the word about my game.

Hello! Thank you for contacting me and for your interest in my work. Sadly, my spoken English is very pitiful, so I'm nervous about participating in an English podcast. I'm very sorry... ;_;

Thank you for your interest and for asking! Feel free to stream the game to your heart's content. I love watching streams, as I tend to gather feedback from them ^^

My only, small request (which is mentioned at the start of the game) is to please avoid posting direct spoilers in public places, for example, using any of the CGs as video thumbnail.

I just finished the demo and really enjoyed it!! I'm weak against this kind of gothic atmosphere, it pulled me in. Also, I'm extremely intrigued by Tristian, so much that I'm very sad the demo is over hahaha. Great job so far! Keep doing your best!

Thank you very much!! I'm seriously very excited to show everyone the new chapter.

Thank you very much for playing it and for your kind words!
Yes, my plan is to release the remaining chapters together, in a single update, instead of updating the game chapter by chapter.
The story will be at an intense point and the impact would be diminished if the two chapters were separated. This also makes it much easier for me to work on the game, as I could need to add something to chapter 2 while making chapter 3.

Thank you for your encouragement! I'll keep doing my best. I really can't wait to show everyone the new parts dffgdfgh

Hahaha, you have to suffer this too, don't you? I'm doing my best for player decisions to matter as much as possible, even if I go crazy from it.

Thank you! I really appreciate it ^^

The Silent Kingdom

Thank you very much! I don't think I know any advice about art, so I can only advise to practice a lot and draw things you truly enjoy. The latter is the most important to me because I'm a lazy artist; I have a hard time drawing things others ask, instead of things I like hahaha.

I'm very glad!! I'm thankful because this post helped me to discover an issue I was unaware of ^^

Ohhh, I see! Thank you for the screens! They've been very useful to understand the problem.

I searched info and found something. It seems you're downloading the game from the itch.io app, and it failed to download because I didn't label the game properly as a Windows compatible game. I have fixed that, please let me know if you can download it now!

(I actually just removed the Alpha version because I feel too embarrassed about it hahahahaha. I had forgotten about its existence, but this post reminded me).

Hello! I just tried to download the file "The Silent Kingdom (1.0 DEMO)", and could do it without any problem. I also tested that I could unzip the files inside the rar and that the game started normally. So I'm afraid I don't know what the problem might be.
Did you get the outdated alpha version from this same page?

Use the key you've been using all this time to interact, which I believe can be Enter, Space, E, or Z (nor sure if any other) ^^

Hello! There should be a small, animated sparkle on the table, where she tells you to look. Look for the sparkle and interact with it.

Since I needed to relax from work, I could finally sit down and play this game.

I love, LOVE the way you write, and the beautiful, sad worlds that always come from your head. This felt like a fairy tale from the beginning to the end, from the way the scenes are told, the art, and the melancholic music. Everything matches perfectly to create a very unique and haunting atmosphere. This time, it also felt very sweet in spite of the darkest sides. Your characters are always so relatable, and my heart definitely has a soft spot for your male characters hahaha. They deserve all the love, to be treated gently ;w;

Thank you for this wonderful game! I'm looking forward to more masterpieces from you.

THIS LOOKS SO GOOD. You have the power to create really magical and tragic worlds where the most beautiful stories unfold. I don't know how you always get so many good ideas for stories, I envy that talent.

Life is crunching me lately, so I haven't been able to play this yet, but I'm very eager fghfghjgjj. The synopsis is already drawing me in. It's simply perfect.

I just discovered this game through this dev post. It looks SO GOOD! I have a weakness for this kind of RPG style games.

I know how hard being an indie dev can be. I wish you the best luck, keep doing your best!

Happy New Year!! ^^

Aah, I really hope people like it ;w;!
I've worked very hard to make it as good as possible.

No worries! ^^
Yes, as fas as the Early Access goes, it'll be Steam only for now. I'll release the game on other platforms when it's completed.

Aah, I see. I use Winrar for rar files. (I use Windows).

Thank you very much for playing it and for your kind comments!

Hello! Thank you for your interest in The Silent Kingdom!
The current rar file contains the latest update of the demo (1.0) ^^

The alpha version can be downloaded as well, but I don't recommend it. It's very outdated.

Waaaaa! Thank youuuu! I hope you'll enjoy the otome parts of chapter 1, I can't wait to know people's opinions (>////<)

Waaaa, thank you very much!! That made me very happy! ;w;

Waaaaaaaaaa, thank you very much for playing both versions and for your kind words! I'm working hard on this game, so it makes me insanely happy to see that people are enjoying it ;w;

Truth be told, I was a bit embarrassed about the alpha version, but I'm glad you could still enjoy it hahaha.

I tend to post news on twitter, and I also make some entries here on itch.io to talk about the current state of chapter 1. I'm in the last months of production, so my guess is that I'll be able to release it in early 2025. I don't want to risk giving a date yet because there are some things that don't depend on me, like the English translation, and I have no control over how long that will take. I'm waiting until the game is 100% done before I can give a date.

Thank you again! I'll keep doing my best. If you enjoyed the prologue, I think you'll have a lot of fun with what comes after!

Thank you very much! ^^

Thank you for reporting the bug and I'm very sorry about the inconvenience! I've fixed it and uploaded the new version. Hopefully, it works well now.

Hahaha, ¡muchas gracias! Y yo qué ganas de acabarlo. Ya me queda poquitooo (>w<)

Thank you very much! ^^

;w; Thank you very much. I'm so eager to finally release this after so much work dfgdf

Thank you for having given the game a try, in any case, and I'm very sorry about the sour experience ;_;

I'm sorry you're getting this error. It's the first time I see it.

I've googled it and found a few people reporting this on other RPG Maker games. The reason why it happens isn't clear, but it might be relased to a RAM issue.

I'm very sorry that I can't be of any help ;_;

I'm afraid that it won't initially be released for Mac. The reason is that I don't know how, since I'm not a programmer, sadly ;_;
I'm very sorry!

Development of Chapter 1 (which is what happens right after the prologue, and takes place in the Kingdom of flowers) should be finished in less than half a year. I can't give a date yet because I don't want to risk anything going wrong, but I'm in the final stage.

I might make a new development news post by the middle of the month ^^

The lyre scene was so good. How something so small could have so much meaning, and how such a gesture could be so gut-wrenching. To me it felt like stabbing his humanity and all that was still beautiful in him; I was destroyed during that scene. But the MC seemed to be in a spiral of hateful self-harm, so... I felt that picking the kinder option would have been me, not her, so I tried to RP her broken heart accordinly.

Aah, I'm fangirling again. Sorry, I just love this game so much hahaha. I wish my English was better so that I could express my thoughts more properly. Anyway, thank you again and keep up the great job! The stories you make are the kind that stay with you after you finish playing.

Edited for typos ;;;

I just purchased the soundtrack. Listening to it is making me teary again hahahaha.

You have created such a beautiful game. Thank you for your hard work.

AAAAAAAAH!! Y-you've KILLED me! I've been playing this for hours straight, all teary. I'm heartbroken at the way the story unfolds, and the way you masterfully wrote the main character's thoughts, full of desperation and anguish, almost to the point of insanity.

I kept wondering just what was crossing the hunter's mind. I felt as hopeless as the MC did and understood her pain well, to the point that I picked some regrettable choices on my first playthrough (something related to a lyre) because I thought that they suited the tragic state in which her mind was, even if they'd break my heart further and were hard for me to stomach.

Your characters are plain fascinating. So well written, so alive in their eternal sorrow that they can cut you through the screen. To say I love the way you write is an understatement.

I've gotten the three extra scenes and oh my god ;;;;. I'm completely and utterly IN LOVE. They're so satisfying, and moved me to tears again from the very first sentence, when I realised what they were about (and with that music, on top of everything...). I love the answers (and new questions) that they throw. I think it was a genius idea to add them.

AND THAT FINAL TWIST. Perfect, like everything else! SDFSDF Please, continue making this masterpiece, I really need to see what happens next, and I need to see more of these characters... I wonder if they could ever find happiness, if only for a single second. The longing is so real!

I've been fangirling with a friend as we both played the game, she loved it so much too and found it very inspiring. Also, sorry for the long post, I have so much in my chest right now and I can't even put half of it into words because I'm clumsy sgfgdg. I'm feeling emotional right now hahaha. What can I say; I love this game to pieces, thank you for making it ;w;
