I am investigating the ascension bug, will post a fix soon for that one. I have also considered adding the ability to swap companions or possibly deploy the ones you have following you to hold a position or something, which would allow you to grab a different one. I'll try a few things and see what feels better!

Bro!! OMG thank you so much for the kind words! I am glad you got that much out of my silly ideas and animations. This was my first ever game, and I have been beside myself with how well it has been received. I am making more games as we speak, continuing this story line... stay tuned!

I will also share the hell out of this article. Again, thank you so very much!

I remember you. Since we spoke I have added a few (Jackie, Petra and Krampus), but I am still making more. There is a content expansion coming up in the next few months that will add at least six more including scenes with existing allies that dont have one yet. (I just finished making new ones for Datura, Podge and a second one for Ivy that doesn't involve her growing a dick and chasing Korvald around)

Since releasing this game, my time has been focused more on getting bugs fixed and adding better mechanics for fun gameplay based on player feedback. Sex scenes have been the least common request so far. But they are still on my to do list I assure you.

yeah the damage scaling and defense calcs are way off in the steam version. I patched them but the steam upload is still pending.

The two versions DO conflict with each other. What you need to do is disable cloud saving on the steam side to keep any progress made in the itch version from being overridden.

Oh whew! You gave me a little panic attack hahaha. I am glad you figured it out!

Yeah the Steam version hasn't been updated to 1.3.0 just yet (soon). Also, I really appreciate the kind words and I am glad you are having fun with my weird world I created.

I just checked and it seems to be working for me. what exactly is happening? what happens if you try to save to a new slot?

Go back to the room where you fought the Hermit (inside the caverns near Iron Abbey). The Foreword skill should be there to collect without needing to fight that boss again.

Hang in there. The next game in this series has a female playable lead.

I do, but it's a custom design that could be a lot better.

I will take a closer look at the save system. But for your current progress I can tell you that you are looking in the wrong place. The entity that you are needing to find is beneath the CATHEDRAL not the CRUCIBLE. Just outside the cathedral entrance and to the right there is a underground entrance (looks like a stone sewer opening).

You have the correct version. I made a mistake in the last upload that shows an older version number. I can promise that you have 1.0.8.

It's just a typo on my part.

Get 3 hats to recruit Opalu.

Thank you so much 🙏 

This is just the demo. Full version can be found here: https://punchingdonut.itch.io/book-of-korvald

You are most welcome! Enjoy!

Kara's story is left on a cliffhanger at the end. You will see her again in the next game. The remaining content updates will start becoming available in the next month. I am adding more allies and adding sex scenes for the secret characters that don't currently have any. More weapons, runes, and skills too.

There is no NTR in my game. There is also no cheating technically. Occasionally Korvald FEELS like he's cheating on his dead wife, but that is as far as it goes.

Named allies like Zhedha, Kara and Ingrid can't be seduced in battle. They all have special events or places where it's possible. Only normal enemies can be seduced on the go. 

I appreciate the kind words, thank you! The Patreon version is simply the special version of the demo that my patrons receive. I put that on here so people could just buy it rather than sub to me on Patreon if they choose.

The Steam version WILL have plenty of achievements. I am actually in the process right now of getting them created for the game and there are around 30 so far. I plan to launch with about 40 to 50 achievements ready to go.

It makes me happy that you enjoy my game that much! Thank you!

Thank you very much, I am so glad you enjoyed my work!

 Be sure to wishlist the full version on Steam, the demo only reveals about 1/8th of the total content I have created.

Thank you for the kind words, I am glad you enjoyed the demo. Regarding the difficulty, I can tell you that the combat/enemy damage/etc in the full version (which is nearly finished) has been drastically improved and balanced. The demo IS pretty easy, I kind of left Korvald as a juggernaut so that people trying the game could have a nice stress free tour of things.

Stay tuned for the full version, you won't regret it.

Thank you so much! The full release is coming very soon, I am pretty excited for you all to get the full experience.

To be honest, it hasn't been requested before. I suppose I could give a Linux build a try. I'll take a shot at it in the next week or so.

I gotchu fam!

I understand what you are saying.

That is a good catch. I'll be honest, I didn't think that far into it. To be fair though, none of the dialog is spoken in a way that would have been accurate for the 9th century. I took a LOT of creative liberties with real history. For example...

- The real Ribe cathedral is only the size of a chapel (not a sprawling fortress like in the game). 

- The real Hrotsvitha did not look like a smoking hot librarian, nor could she speak all languages fluently.

- The real Hjortvad and Skov locations in Denmark are laughably nothing like in the game.

- Jelling is a hell of a lot farther North from Ribe than the game depicts.

- There are templars. There is no reason that templars would be wandering around Denmark a century before their establishment in Jerusalem.

And many more things I have twisted around just for the lulz.

Thank you so much! The full release is coming VERY soon!

Across demo versions, yes. When the completed game comes out on Steam, demo saves will not work in the full release and vice versa. (though I am not sure why someone would try to load a save from the full version into a demo version)

It was just fixes and improvements. Any content I am adding at this point is strictly for the full release.

The Patreon version is also a demo version, but with special cheats available and a few extra sex scenes. The full version will be the release available on Steam in June.

I see the issue. I am working to resolve this now, keep your eyes on your steam library for the next update.

What is the issue?

Thank you for letting me know. I will get that patched as soon as I can.

it's true. the ladies love it though so Korvald doesn't mind.

I will take a look and see if I can figure out what may be happening.
