Hello, Could you make this into a Ren'Py version? The story is very interesting, but I would like to switch the language to Chinese so I can immerse myself more in the story
Sorry there’s no plan for an Renpy version of the game until this is complete. It’s a whole new engine to learn and I am unfamiliar with. And English is my first and only language that I can read and write so other translations would have to be done by volunteers.
Hello there, I really want to play this game, however for some reason on my phone the game is horizontal with most of the screen covered, which not only makes it hard to read but also makes it impossible to import and export saves for me. Is there some way for me to switch from horizontal mode to vertical?
Hi Zina, sorry to hear you are having trouble! The game should auto adjust to whatever orientation your phone is, but i've changed the default to vertical on Itch.io so it should be working. (I tested this on a iphone 12)
As for exporting/importing saves. What browser are you using? Some browsers have stricter security and privacy protections that messes up with exporting saves. (Like Brave for example) I've tested and found no issue on Opera, Google Chrome, and Safari, but did come across the issue on Brave. I was able to fix it by updated to the latest version of the broswer. If you are still having trouble, you may have to turn off any adblock and/or firewall sheilds and reload the page. It should work after that.
It is working now. Thank you very much. And as for the saves that too was a problem caused by the ui. For some reason the import/export saves options were off screen. But now it's fine.
hiii !! loooved the update, so excited for the rest of the game <33 just wondering, will there be a picture of the "bastard child" and are they a romantic interest or is that something we cant know yet? <3
I made some concept art for Daria/Darius a while back here! I’m in the process of making new portraits for everyone so Daria/Darius will be included when I finish the new batch. (At the moment only Daria is done, you can find her artwork in her tag on the blog) They are hidden RO so they will have more requirements for their specific route.
will the requirements for the romance route be things we have to choose before even seeing them again or while with them? Sorry it’s that’s worded bad lol. And does them being the half sibling of our cousin make them one of the ‘controversial’ ones or am I wrong about that? And will it be mentioned in the story, or is it the fact they’re the ‘bastard child’?
Not a lot is set in stone yet, since I haven't programmed anything yet, but for what I have envisioned, to access Daria/Darius full route, you will have to have high enough affection and may a few key choices during the playthrough.
Eirik is controversial because of who and what he is. Daria/Darius is not (aside from being Eirik's loyal supporter). But being a bastard will be a problem for the relationship depending on your characters plans.
Okay, I haven't caught on the last few updates (Spoiler)
I've only caught up to the part where Erik stabs Alberich's eye (which is WILD for like a teen) but I am wondering, is it possible for Linnet to get together with Sieghardt if MC doesnt romance her because I'm high key rooting for them! ( ≧∀≦)
I think it just means you were so absorbed in the story and its happenings that you forgot what was on the horizon is all. I haven't played yet, but I'm taking this as a good sign the story is immersive and engaging LOL!
Patreon content will always be at least one update ahead of the public build, but everything will be available eventually. (At least until the I officially release the game for sale, then I’ll have big big demo to play.) sometimes there might be a delay between the releases cause I get tired to update both builds on the same day.
I don't know if this question was already answered or if it is answered somewhere but if it isn't much of a spoiler.... Who's the unrequited love? (Like which LI but i don't know how to type it so it sounds normal-)
[Tbh i would say it's Linnet since she likes the MC's brother... But it can also be someone else tho i feel like it's most likely her if she is a Li |Yes I'm dumb|]
Uh for some reason whenever I try to set my character gender to female an error always pops up. :(
And then for some reason, later on when mentioning my character only some of the female pronouns show up. In this one the word "sister" is supposed to be after "My". Idk if anyone else is having this issue. ToT
OMG I CANT WHY ARE ALL THE CHARACTERS SO FINEEE, the main cast are fine shyts................ I LOVE EM ALL AND I ALSO LOVE THE WAY U WRITE BTW, SO GOOD, MWAH *Chef kiss*
I LOVE the new pictures ...dammit the brothers are really hot XD! and Helios yum <3 lol Erik is hot but that face he going slap the crap out of me and i know why XD as well as Finn boyish charm amazing work!
I love it. I really hope the soldier background lets me be at least a bit of a deranged psycopath, it just fits in so nicely with the whole character, having a rough childhood with so much political tension and the mc just ends up a little messed up because he also chooses to go into war. 👍
i dont mean to be rude, i am just curious but why is thea called a prince if her pronouns are referred to as she/her? i don't understand stuff like this too well unfortunately because i am not familiar with it. i love this interactive novel a lot though!
different countries use different terms for their royalty. Thea is a Prince because there is no princess title in her country. That is non negotiable.
Picking gendered terms only relate to how the your player character wishes to express their gender. While the title for the MC can be edited by the player, the MC canonically does not inherit the title of Prince/Princess because their rank and status comes from their mother, not their father, and they are not a child of the current Emperess.
I dunno what I was talking about on the comment, too long since i played this but thank you and mostly thank you for bringing me back to this game i basically forgot about it
I can't progress past the Festival? The age 6 summer event. There are a lot of broken/missing pages. Cannot progress the story past Alberich bringing you to Sieg and your friends.
Might sound like a 'broken record' with this comment since you have received it many times, but there is a problem in the festival chapter where you see Sieghardt, Finn, Thea and Lynnette again. It makes it so none of the options work and they all lead to the same page with all the outcomes of the options listed no matter what option is chosen.
And it abruptly ends with only one option that looks like this:
Which is available to click on but it will just lead to an empty page with an error code displayed:
However I still enjoyed the game thus far and would love to see where it leads after these problems are dealt with :D
I don't think I need to mention it but I'll do it anyway. There is an error that prevents advancing the story beyond the festival part. Which is a shame because the story seems really interesting! The characters, the intrigues, and all the possibilities that await have hooked me with just a few chapters. I think we would all love it if you could fix this bug. Good job by the way!

Hello,
Could you make this into a Ren'Py version?

but I would like to switch the language to Chinese

Ending on a fire feels illegal!!!!
THE EMPRESS, NOOOOOOOOOOO
You will pry this family in MY DEAD HANDS, no one messes with my found family T.T

ahh thank u for the link !! love hidden ROs so will def try to get on their route <333

thanks! Linnet may not see my character that way (😔) but I’ll be thrilled to try out Daria’s route and see if I can unlock the romance!:3
I knew the empress was gonna die and yet still am in shock and heartbroken💔 EMPRESS COME BACK RN I CANT TAKE THIS
Kinda spoilers? Mostly my thoughts and not much spoiler but it is about what's happening in ch1
As someone who was thinking of trying to romance Linnet.... I guess i was right about her being the unrequited love but
think of me as your big sister well.... Ouch? 😔
Knew the empress would die but THAT HURT. She was actually nice and loved the Mc like her own child 😭😭 also, I need more. MORE. 🤭
I feel you the sister zone hurts💔 and the empress dying after that? Oh my gosh
We got hit, and kicked right after 😭🙏
Only 2 days late... Honestly this is an accomplishment
Okay, I haven't caught on the last few updates (Spoiler)
I've only caught up to the part where Erik stabs Alberich's eye (which is WILD for like a teen) but I am wondering, is it possible for Linnet to get together with Sieghardt if MC doesnt romance her because I'm high key rooting for them! ( ≧∀≦)
While you can lightly influence characters and their relationships, at the end of the day, some things are meant to happen (or not happen) :)
Update was so great! Can't wait for more!
Nooo not the Empress. My heart can't take it. I may have to sub to Patreon.
I'm a moron, I have read the whole when the Empress dies sentence so many times.. and it still surprised me when it happened.
I think it just means you were so absorbed in the story and its happenings that you forgot what was on the horizon is all. I haven't played yet, but I'm taking this as a good sign the story is immersive and engaging LOL!
LOVE THIS AKDBKANS
(I wanted to ask if the content that is on Patreon (the new update of the main story ) is going to be available to the public as well?😭😭)
Patreon content will always be at least one update ahead of the public build, but everything will be available eventually. (At least until the I officially release the game for sale, then I’ll have big big demo to play.) sometimes there might be a delay between the releases cause I get tired to update both builds on the same day.
who is the questionable love interest..?
I'd say the cousin but THAT'S WAY MORE THAN JUST QUESTIONABLE Medea and Helios maybe they are the secret controversial ones
Imagine if it was the cousin :')
I don't know if this question was already answered or if it is answered somewhere but if it isn't much of a spoiler.... Who's the unrequited love?
(Like which LI but i don't know how to type it so it sounds normal-)[Tbh i would say it's Linnet since she likes the MC's brother... But it can also be someone else tho i feel like it's most likely her if she is a Li |Yes I'm dumb|]
I was wondering the same thing, and also wondering if it may be linnet my thoughts exactly lol
If it is Linnet and we don't get to be with her I'm crying myself to sleep 😭😔
me too, me too.😔
Uh for some reason whenever I try to set my character gender to female an error always pops up. :(
And then for some reason, later on when mentioning my character only some of the female pronouns show up. In this one the word "sister" is supposed to be after "My". Idk if anyone else is having this issue. ToT
That’s strange, I don’t think anyone mentioned this bug to me, so I’ll check it out. Thanks for letting me know ♥️
No problem! ^^
Same!
Loved the update! Cannot wait for more!
*sigh* Man, seriously, Sieghardt is totally my type. Why is he my brother, darnit!? xD
OMG I CANT WHY ARE ALL THE CHARACTERS SO FINEEE, the main cast are fine shyts................ I LOVE EM ALL AND I ALSO LOVE THE WAY U WRITE BTW, SO GOOD, MWAH *Chef kiss*
Ya know I will not lie. I can feel the potential, that Sieghardt and Finn could~~ make a good couple 🤭😁
Anyway this is amazing , I really like that our choices are matters.
i have the feeling that they would kill each other, if they were told to court
that's also true 😂
i want to romance the brothers. is that bad?maybe.
You are not alone in this... THEY ARE FINE SHYTS
Sieghardt is seriously my type. xD
I LOVE the new pictures ...dammit the brothers are really hot XD! and Helios yum <3 lol Erik is hot but that face he going slap the crap out of me and i know why XD as well as Finn boyish charm amazing work!
YESSS CHARACTER PORTRAITS!!
AHHHH LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SOOO MUCH
I love it. I really hope the soldier background lets me be at least a bit of a deranged psycopath, it just fits in so nicely with the whole character, having a rough childhood with so much political tension and the mc just ends up a little messed up because he also chooses to go into war. 👍
MPREG SUPREMACYY
Omgggg do you think it's for real?
i dont mean to be rude, i am just curious but why is thea called a prince if her pronouns are referred to as she/her? i don't understand stuff like this too well unfortunately because i am not familiar with it. i love this interactive novel a lot though!
Prince is the gender neutral term for all legitimate children of Thea’s father. So Thea and all her siblings/half-siblings have the title of Prince.
oohh now i get it. thank you for the reply!
I'm even more confused; if we're choosing terms to be gender neutral, can we pick Princess instead?
different countries use different terms for their royalty. Thea is a Prince because there is no princess title in her country. That is non negotiable.
Picking gendered terms only relate to how the your player character wishes to express their gender. While the title for the MC can be edited by the player, the MC canonically does not inherit the title of Prince/Princess because their rank and status comes from their mother, not their father, and they are not a child of the current Emperess.
Is there an app for this game or can I only play it in the web
no app! Browser only!
whoever chooses to be mean to Daria I’m throwing hands
GUYS SHE IS BACK
NEW UPDATE ON MARCH 29 :D
Error: the passage "nice" does not exist
I guess I'm evil
In the second prologue the game won't let me progress past a certain point :(
Even tho there's a bug i really enjoyed the game! And i want to ask who are the ROs?
If I remember correctly, I'm pretty sure it's everyone listed in the characters section? Don't take my words seriously since I could be very wrong!
I dunno what I was talking about on the comment, too long since i played this but thank you and mostly thank you for bringing me back to this game i basically forgot about it
I can't progress past the Festival? The age 6 summer event. There are a lot of broken/missing pages. Cannot progress the story past Alberich bringing you to Sieg and your friends.
Can't wait for the next update!
I love this story! Hopefully the bug get fixed soon bcoz i can't wait to play more 🫶
i hope the broken text in the festival passages gets fixed soon!! i'm loving the story so far, and I can't wait to see it develop
I enjoyed what's available immensely.

Same thing happen to me while trying to enjoy the story
I don't think I need to mention it but I'll do it anyway. There is an error that prevents advancing the story beyond the festival part. Which is a shame because the story seems really interesting! The characters, the intrigues, and all the possibilities that await have hooked me with just a few chapters. I think we would all love it if you could fix this bug. Good job by the way!
the game is broken, same as everyone else's issue 😢. Hope you have spare time to fix this, I'm lovin your project thus far💕
