question to dev not really a review: So I love the game and the rewind mechanic as a whole with earning the new titles seeing the parents reaction and unique dialogue each reincarnation not to mention the comedy and overall dialogue is peak I've been playing it a lot recently though i do want to note it takes way way to long to gain favour with the four gods I saw a reply the creator made to a comment planning to include some anti grind mechanics which is a good idea currently in my game there at level 8 and they need well over 3k xp each for arius and juna the most xp you can for them at one time is 170, and for vint on his own you can get 340 and ragus only like 74, it takes a while to a point im just skipping through days and dialogus spending loops to level them up also leveling up the temple via cleaning is also an unruly amount of xp same with the adventures guild xp there not that quick to level up but still this wasn't the point of my post so question,
I was wondering if there are any plans in future updates for more routes with other characters or will it just be strictly Lani and Marla I would personally love to see some more events or H events with other characters like the goddess of time for example she probably one of my more favourite characters in the game both design wise and personality wise I also believe a route with Bess or Luna could be interesting though I get that's probably a bit controversial as those relationships may put people off so mabye a content warning unless they weren't planned to begin with but i think it would be good especially with how tragic Bess backstory is shown in the event if you sneak up on her in the temple that you could I dunno help her find happiness again in a relationship. As for the Luna route I dunno I thought it'd be funny to get revenge on hagrid because his dumb "pebbles" Or mabye even a route with allura mabye you could free her without getting murdered once your mind defence is high enough and she just hangs out in the dungeon and you can visit her and bond or something.
If not I understand why but I think the game would benefit with more variety of heroines or routes you could pursue and more events is always better.

Thanks for the feedback! The temple is one of the least polished parts of the game right now, and the Gods along with that. The prayers are really intended to be a secondary method to earn favor with the Gods, with general player actions and quests being the primary (praying was easier to implement, so that's what was put into the game first). This is going to start coming into gameplay in the next release, which will expand the shop system, allowing players to sell to the temple for a smaller amount of money in exchange for favor with Vint (God of Charity). The overall quest system is due for a heavy refresh in the near future (but not the immediate next version) as well, and will add God favor as quest rewards for quests taken in the Temple and the Guild. I had originally intended that quest system to be a part of the next update, but I've recently decided to make the next one a smaller update in order to get a more regular release cycle started (I have a really bad habit of expanding release scope to the point that my two or three month release gets pushed back to six months, which is no good for both me and the players).
Love interests are intended to include Bess, Zelda (the princess that is only barely in the game), a noble at the academy that I think is a great character and really want to start writing, and a handful of side quest love interests like the merchant's daughter. Allura is a character currently intended to move future plot points, but she's certainly a possibility as a love interest (I'm not as sure of her character direction right now). The Gods are the same; planned for some content but not with a finalized direction. Luna is not intended as a love interest for a few reasons... not gonna lie, the primary reason is because Patreon is my primary source of game income and they have a no incest policy, but Luna's character has also turned into a pretty stoic doting mother, and writing a plausible story for that just doesn't mesh in my head. I intend to use her for some fun side content, but nothing sexual between her and Liam.
I appreciate a response since it's rare for a creator to respond to a comment in my experience since there normally busy or something so thank you for giving me some of your time, it's good to hear there will be additional ways to earn favour for the gods since the prayer is a bit repetitive i for one and I assume others are as well looking forward too the next update even if it's something small like quality of life in my opinion it's good to know the creator intends continue working on there game! As for the love interests
I'm happy to hear you do plan to expand on the variety of characters as much as I like lani and Marla im equally curious about some of the other characters inside the game I didn't even consider the merchant daughter being a possible candidate and I'm equally as happy to hear allura and the gods aren't set in stone I think it would be interesting for more events with them like actually visiting juna,auris,vint,ragus in there Realms or something considering how closely tied they are to the family I mentioned this prior but a personal favourite of mine is the goddess of time I would love to see more events h or normal or just even more unique dialogue depending on what you do in a certain loop, and yeah no worries I totally understand why Luna isn't an intended love interest I mean even attempting to work it in would cross a tone of sensitive and fetishy things I appreciate you being direct since again I understand it's a sensitive topic I wasn't aware of the strict patreon guidelines Ive just seen it in other games on this platform so was curious, again thank your time :)
Love this visual novel game, by chance r there any cheats to skip the grind. I only ask because I forgot to sync my saves and uninstalled the app and downloaded the newest international update version and now I'm starting from the beginning. If not guess I gotta grind like there's no tomorrow
Thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying it! If you're on pc, there are some console commands to alter stats and variables. That said, console commands can indeed harm your save files, so I recommend using them with caution. I'm finalizing the next update, and that one actually does include some anti-grind mechanics.
for the second scene in the poly route am I supposed to choose to be in a poly relationship or not to be in one? I always have to choose after talking to miri
I think you may be stuck in an error. The threesome counter (which is used to determine if you're currently in a poly relationship after Miri's conversation), doesn't reset at rebirth correctly (it was skipped by accident). I can't say for sure that this is stopping progress, but it will likely fast track you beyond some content.
You can correct this on your own by adding a line into the revival_summary.rpy file (if you don't have a code editor, you can open the file directly into notepad).
Underneath where it says 'reset revival variables' paste in the following on its own line:
$ threesome_counter = 0
Once that's done, your counters will reset at rebirth correctly and you won't be forced into the poly route.
i somehow was able to unlock the third scene in the poly route but when I use the replay gallery the screen is black and only the text pops up. not sure if this is by design or a bug but I thought I should let yuo know
I started to play the game yesterday, and I absolutely love the concept of it! Characters are great, lore is interesting... Thank you so much!
I love the H-scenes in the game too... But I wish Lani had like a standing footjob scene! But maybe that would be out of character for her? She's teasing the foot fetishist in me with her being barefoot most of the time...
Speaking to more foot scenes, I'm game. Lani is a really maliable character and can fit in a lot of situations, so I can certainly see her taking an active dom stance given the proper circumstances. That said, I've given a lot of attention to Lani and really need to move on with the actual story of the game. The next update (which is going very well and should be out in July) will be a much-needed UI update/expansion, then I'm going to buckle down and really work on writing and plot development.
That is more than fine, I'm actually already super glad that you even take my suggestion into account! Here's to hoping she gets the standing footjob scene one day, then! (If she can get dominant with Liam, then oh boy would I be happy to see that...)
Story of the game is really really good right now, so I'm waiting for or to continue with as much anticipation, really! Thanks for your answer! :)
could I get a hint on the second and third scene in the poly route? I've tried everything I can think of but I can't seem to unlock it, i have unlocked every other scene
These are related to chronology of events, and are progressively harder to unlock as you move further into the game (and get quicker relationship progressions because of titles).
They're both versions of Marla's second plant discussion with Lani (Planty Jr) and trigger if Lani has started visiting Liam in the tent, but not progressed very far (the Dungeon Tent replaces this progression, so you'll need to turn it off in the tent settings).
Exact progression: - Progress Marla to roughly before the second plant scene. - Party with Lani (and turn off the dungeon tent). - Progress Lani to tent scene 3, 4, or 5 (scenes before the night watch conversations). - Progress Marla further and trigger the second plant scene. - The scenes will trigger during the plant scene.
Break point: - Which scene you get between the two is determined by whether or not Marla knows about Lani's curse.
I still can't get the scene, Ive done everything you said to the letter but I still can't get it. did I do something wrong, are my titles to high level? i dont know what to do...
I've decided to split the next one into two updates, and the first of those (a UI update) will likely go to testers in a few weeks. The update timeline goes: $10+ patreon -> $5 patreon -> itch.io, with 5 days between each.
Using 3.4.3. In the current edition, are all animations with the girls and puppets achieveable? Having a blast with this game, just want to be sure I'm grinding for the right reason.
I realized quickly that not all paths to exploring/guild/temple could likely be achieved in one lifetime. And there are likely to be some high level titles necessary to unlock some pathways. And that's where I am.
Keep grinding?
edit: Oh, and, thanks for your continued diligence to detail (there's a joke there, but I'm going to leave it). The maze of pathways and alternatives is really impressive. How do you keep track?
Thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying it! I have a spreadsheet. It should really be a flowchart, but it's become something of a monster now, so transferring it over to a better system would take time I'd rather spend working on the game, ya'know?
For events, all of them are technically achievable, but not all of them are really intended to be achieved. There's a scene with Lani that requires max level cat person (or party planner), which means getting her to level 100... but I don't have high level monsters in the game yet. Similarly, Marla's hold-your-breath challenge doesn't end until over 5000 endurance points... there are other ways to finish it in planning and I never intended for anyone to grind that much, but many people have done so. The other hard ones are just not well-worded in the hints... People are having a hard time getting Lani's massage scenes because I simply failed to mention that she needs to be in your party for later versions to activate.
Thank you for this verification. I guess at some point I will stop the grindage.
As an afterthought, does Endurance have any effect on response to poison? It seems that after exposure to iocaine (whatever) the outcome is either survival (better) or death (not as good). In somebody's perfect world (cough cough), with high endurance, any percentage chance less than 100% resistance would lead to loss of some health points, vs. loss of all health points (again, not as good).
Not my game. I'm not the Developer that Knows All and has a plan for Game Balance. I will play what you write. I'm always cautious about suggestions to developers, as what may seem a minor change to me may be months of work for someone else.
I always appreciate suggestions, though i certainly don't always use them. I admit, allowing poison to do damage instead of death could be a good choice... I'll put it in the list for consideration.
Tempted to just say that, but I'll go further. Money is intended to be earned normally until it's infinite. In the beginning, doing dungeons and exploring will be your best source of funds (selling items). Once you've traded enough to earn a mid-level merchant title, you'll be saving enough money buying potions that you can instantly sell them back to Martin for a profit.
So there are two fighting paths. You can either do guild quests, or you can explore (the compass icon). Exploring is the only way to find dungeons. The game does a random check every morning that you are exploring to see if you found a dungeon, and every time you don't find one, your percentage chance goes up.
Once you've found a dungeon, the game records the date, and you can enter that dungeon on that date (+ or - 5 days) in future lives.
is there a specific chest to get lovers end? cause if its a normal chest I think the title gold digger screwed me out of getting those anymore. i have not seen one sence I got it
I'm not sure how I missed this, but I didn't see your comment until just now. Lover's End is only available as an exploration reward (it's in 3 locations). I'll be adding more shop inventory variety in the next version, which will include cooking items like this.

it didnt work. I even talked to miri before lani and marla got a second heart
i somehow was able to unlock the third scene in the poly route but when I use the replay gallery the screen is black and only the text pops up. not sure if this is by design or a bug but I thought I should let yuo know
Noted. Thanks for letting me know.

so thats it? Ive been using the dungeon tent so long i didn't even consider it a factor
I still can't get the scene, Ive done everything you said to the letter but I still can't get it. did I do something wrong, are my titles to high level? i dont know what to do...
Cnan I get an approximate ETA for the next update?
I've decided to split the next one into two updates, and the first of those (a UI update) will likely go to testers in a few weeks. The update timeline goes: $10+ patreon -> $5 patreon -> itch.io, with 5 days between each.
im curious if im missing any titles, could you tell me how many there are in total. in the current version of course
There are 34 in the most recent release (32 in free).
Using 3.4.3. In the current edition, are all animations with the girls and puppets achieveable? Having a blast with this game, just want to be sure I'm grinding for the right reason.

does lani's sundress do anything, or should I stop buying it for now
It doesn't serve any purpose, no (just makes her happy).
Is there a faster way of making money? My current method of killing wolves for $25 a day and hoping for valuable loot isn't cutting it for me
Indeed there is.
Tempted to just say that, but I'll go further. Money is intended to be earned normally until it's infinite. In the beginning, doing dungeons and exploring will be your best source of funds (selling items). Once you've traded enough to earn a mid-level merchant title, you'll be saving enough money buying potions that you can instantly sell them back to Martin for a profit.

Once you've found a dungeon, the game records the date, and you can enter that dungeon on that date (+ or - 5 days) in future lives.
so I noticed there are bone spiders in the kill count list. are they not in the game yet or am I rewinding to early or something like that
They're not there yet. They were cut from production for time (the thunder wolf is the same).
Well would you fuckin look at that.....we had boiled corn yesterday just hours after I decided to play this game
Hi. Just a quick question: is there any unavoidable cheating/ntr content? Thanks.
No, there's no ntr or cheating here. There's a scene in the very beginning of non-romancable characters having sex, but that scene can be skipped.
is there a specific chest to get lovers end? cause if its a normal chest I think the title gold digger screwed me out of getting those anymore. i have not seen one sence I got it
I meant the common silver chest. not the normal brown chest, the silver chest is the one I cant get anymore
I'm not sure how I missed this, but I didn't see your comment until just now. Lover's End is only available as an exploration reward (it's in 3 locations). I'll be adding more shop inventory variety in the next version, which will include cooking items like this.
