I'll eat whatever you put out anytime, chef. I started with Anthony route first, then Isaac, and finally Simon.  

The gothic atmosphere is great; the soundtrack is great. The world's lore is certainly on the grisly side, which I really enjoy. 

And (spoiler, I think?) the different information/events you get regarding what path you choose when you head down to the dungeon was so fun! Curious to see how much you will do with the energy-managing and skill system you've implemented. 

I know this might be unlikely, but I GOTTA know the story behind Nathaniel 😂 Is he like,  Jonas' self-insert or something. And why is he SUCH an ass towards us. I thought we were Jonas' pookie and that feeling would, I don't know, transfer to the surly butler 😂

Spoiler: I think I was the most surprised by Simon! He seemed like a typical good guy at first glance, but he is actually kind of cold and cunning; we are nothing more than guinea pigs to him. His shift in character was extremely enjoyable. Out of everyone, he holds the most threat to MC in my eyes. After all, his work is directly linked with MC's traumatic past. I would have gotten a heart attack if I knew I had to re-live being medically tortured.

I'm also curious if any of the characters were inspired by the ADW and EXG cast? Anthony feels like an interesting mesh of Laurent and Jeth. 

💀

It feels weird replying to a 318 days old thread, but for research purposes, I've been replaying the game again to get all the 'bad ends' this time. And one end I've been trying to attain is actually when Katnir turns us over to Jeth. What choices do we need to make for that to happen? So far I've been going for a pro-Crown approach, along with calling his forest boring and the like, but that hasn't made a dent on his view of TO  😭

Will the team consider uploading a Mac version? The game looks really cool so far. If not, best wishes on your success!

I would be so down to see that game with Air Knight! When I was playing ADW, Air Knight was that one guy I would CONSTANTLY USE, especially since I had a lot of fire frontliners in the enemies team.  He strangely grew on me. I had this headcanon that whoever was with me in the very beginning with Lor were the OGs and had a tighter bond with TO. So that included Air Knight, Earth Priest and I think Air Rogue?? 

For the kidnapping scenario. To side with Brookhaven, do I need to keep selecting choices that were anti-Crown? Would that mean showing sympathy to the prisoners in Ruwin's section and not killing anybody in Katnir's? 

Thank you so much for actively engaging with the commentators like this! 

I devoured the gacha date game. Thank you for feeding us! Aside from the game, I am so curious to know who was your favorite character when drafting the design and dialogues for this. Anything that got cut out? 

I have another question as well, that is Jeth! How in the world do I get kidnapped by him?

Hello! Came from playing the main game to hopping onto this. My poor heart wants to know whether it is possible to have a happy ending where everyone is alive and cool with TO? And if so, what do I gotta do?

I killed Ruwin on my first play through. Realized way later that that could have been averted.

Thank you so much. All your games are a delight to play (played Esper first and then spiraled into a rabbit hole that is ADW; lovely decision I made).

Hello! Not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but I'm having some trouble finding the Hydra Beast on the second floor. I've "unlocked" the square and the L-shaped maps on that floor--just don't know where exactly I should be going.

Thanks!

I see you're a person of exquisite taste. MC is my favorite too!

Hello! Thanks for notifying me this. It completely escaped my attention to put in a section there. I'll soon update the game with a continuation from this choice.

Fixed it!

Thanks for reporting! Glad you got to the end of the demo!

The next update would be the second part of Chapter 2! It was getting too long so I had to split it into two parts. Thank you for reading!

I'm glad you liked it!

Next update will be a while! I'm glad you liked it.

Ahh you got the escaped branch from Chapter 1! I hope you enjoyed that, as it is more linear and narrative heavy as opposed to the branch where you don't manage to escape.

I'm glad you liked it!

Thanks for playing! Glad you liked it.

i love your writing, and especially the way you describe environments <3!!! the world building and characters are super compelling, can't wait to see what's next :D!!!

Thank you so much for the lovely comment! I am glad that you like my world-building. I focus a lot on that and really try to immerse my readers into the setting. And I'm glad you like my characters, too! I was thinking I had to tone it down as most of them can be... hard on the MC, who is an extension of the player.

Also thank you for the screenshot. This is simply a formatting problem and I will get around to rectifying it. 

Acknowledged! Will try to fix this problem. Again, thanks!

Hey! Thanks for the comment and error-reporting. One more thing, do you mind if you can post a screenshot of where you found the errors, this so I have easier time searching for it. 

If not, what cards did you pick in Noose's game that led you to the error? Thank you!

Thank you for the comment! Glad you liked it.

Hello giltedarcanum! Thank you thank you thank you for the lovely comment. 

I have ran through the card scene on my end and didn't encounter the error. If possible, can you send a screenshot to my devblog or my email: tfoe.troubleshooting@gmail.com?

I don't know if there is a way to privately message game devs here, but I would prefer that then posting the screenshot here to refrain any spoiling of the plot. If either of the options are not suitable for you, then you may post screenshots here. However, it will be deleted afterwards.

Again, thank you so much for your message. I really appreciate it. Please do not hesitate to report anymore mistakes you've noticed when playing the game.

Have a wonderful day and Salaam,

Riyadth

Thanks! Glad you liked it.
