Hey guys,

I have a bit of a good-news-bad-news situation. The good news is that we've moved on to Chapter 3 ahead of schedule, and I've also found a way to rework the backbone of it in a way that supports all major permutations [Woman / Succubus ] x [Main Char Relationship]. The bad news is that Chapter 3 is currently a messy construction site with plumbing and electrical sticking every withc way.

So, how did we get here?

Originally this update was focused on bringing the third level of the Ominous Plant to the garden, with its own separate mechanic in Chapter 3, as well as a few new scenes in Chapter focused around the death realms and the mark Alex gets.

However the risk/reward mechanics of of the Plant ended up quite intertwined with Ishtar, which in turn changed the requirements from Alex for the offering bowl and the token from the True Wish ritual, and before I knew it pretty much all the major plot threads and requirements in Chapter 3 were shifting and changing.

What's happening now?

In short, the patch isn't ready. I'm restructuring the Swamp, the Garden, the true wishes and how Ishtar works. I had to move back and forth on some things, re-write and delete until the direction felt right.

I'm truly sorry to leave you hanging for another month, but moving back towards writing all the main endings, I don't want to rush how everything ties together. Also, while I'm busy with this the artists will be doing a bit more on the new Death Cards, which you will be hearing more about in the Discord.

As always, thanks for your continued support as we enter the final stretch of development. If you have any questions or comments don't hesitate to drop them below.

Sounds like you are really cooking! Excited to see the results!

I don't mind. In my mind previously I found chapter 3 rather abrupt in its endings. Like chapter 2 was the real ending and 3 was just an epilogue.

Take your time, don't stress! Looking forward to seeing chapter 3 get really fleshed out!

Thanks so much, been stressing about it, so words of encouragement really help!

Thank you so much, trying to get things right !

Yeah, I'm trying to extend the backbone of chapter 3 and give it a longer middle section and more to do. Thanks for your patience and support!

Is there a way to play this on a phone? I know it says Screen size under x is not supported, but i'm pretty sure i played it on my phone a while back and it worked out well for me. Can there maybe be an option of like "I'm okay when the UI looks a bit off" or similiar, like to have it as an option if you're fine with it? Love the work tho and take your time, rushing mostly leads to worse stuff <3

Hi, I was trying to support phones with an alt UI for some time, but it was too much work to do in parallel for a product that, in my opinion, does a great disservice to the original vision. I am doing more and more of the new scenes with complex animations side-by-side with the text, and that just doesn't work on phones. For this reason I've disabled the game on phones.

Yeah, fair point ^^ UI etc. on smaller space is very annoying to deal with. I just prefere to play on phone, so i figured i'd just ask :) Anyways, thanks for the quick answer c:

We're so back! Had to drop the subscription about 2 years ago for financial reasons. Now I'm subscribed again and excited to see what's new! It was already pretty damn amazing 2 years ago after all. Reading this post though -- would you recommend waiting another month before playing? I plan to start the whole game from scratch so...

XFiction

Welcome back and thank you so much for your support! I'm currently in the middle of some pretty big changes to Chapter 3 that got pushed back unfortunately due to both complexity and personal reasons (actually in the middle of writing a post about this), so I would def recommend waiting for it before starting a fresh run, you would be getting the best out of the new stuff.
