I mean, you can kinda beat her. Some other guy (or gal, we don't judge) is speedrunning the combat with every subclass.

 Anyways, if you have any suggestions to improve the game, please go ahead an leave a comment. This is my first choicescript game, so I'm looking for feedback.

Fixed!

I'll take a look at it, thanks.

I looked around to see if it was possible before, and from what I've found, it requires extensive efforts on my side with programs I'm unfamiliar with.  COG Demos has it built in, and I just toggle it on from the dashboard, so unless itch somehow adds the same feature, I wont be able to incorperate it within the game. Thanks for the interest though!

Fixed!

Yeah, I've seen others comment the same thing. I'll be deploying a balance change along with the next version.

Hey there! Thanks for the comments and suggestions, that exactly what I was looking for. As you probably know, this story is my first game and in very early stages of development. Anyways, to adress your points:

- I agree with the spells being unbalanced. I didn't think this'd be even possible, but there will be a balance patch coming for an interactive fiction novel.

-I mentioned it briefly in the choice of games forum post, but I'm currently working on a prologue to give more depth to all the other characters and world build, as well rework Pythia's character to be less of a tier one hater. Anyways, version 2 should be getting deployed by the end of the week.

Thanks again :3

Not necessarily the way, but a way. It's essentially a shortcut, but will impact dialogue and have consequences later on.

Hey there! First of all, thanks for playing. Regarding Pythia, unless you're super lucky or decided to mess with the game files, it should be impossible to win. It's a scripted defeat to drive the story forewards. To avoid the fight, the only real way is to lose or surrender to the Luminary Guard. As for save slots, I dont think it's possible in a choicescript WIP, but I'll see what I can do.

A Grimdark Fantasy Interactive Novel!

You are the hier to House Luminary, born in a world where magic defines nobility. Scorned by your rivals, bound by duty, and haunted by some invisible entity, will you be able to claim your birthright or will you let yourself be consumed by the abyss?

This is my first game using choicescript, but I've been an ardent consumer of all interactive fiction for mabye the past year. This game includes all the best elements (in my opinion) of a good interactive fiction, and I've been working hard to put all my ideas to paper (or computer in this case). Anyways, I hope you enjoy, and if you have any suggestions or observations, please feel free to comment.
