I LOVE THIS GAME SOO MUCH!, even if it was just a demo. It was nice and fun. And I made my friends play as well. They chose to die in purpose, laughed when the "All love fails" tag appeared and had fun playing the game.
Also, they want a regent ending... and they also want to date the assassins, for some weird reason.
Another friend tho, wanted to end up with Prince Aurelius, she was super serious with it, but died. so... TAKE MY MONEY!! (the kickstarter page is still loading btw) (also, we're all very excited for the full game)
Thank you so much! So happy you and your friends enjoyed it so much ah >//////<!
The "All love fails" tag is our favorite ;) We had a "Nobody loves you" tag for that at first, but thought it might come across as a bit harsh so xD The Regent seems to be a popular candidate for possible routes for some reason xD But the assassins, that's a first!
We will keep doing our best! Thank you so much for the support! :D
Is there an acrylic charm for the Regent? 'Cause if there is I'd totally add more money for that add on. My mom was against buying the CHf 150 and the CHf 100 *sad* so we just settled with the CHf 65 *happy again*. I'm telling my friends to spend their money as well... FOR HAPPINESS (i'm pretty sure if there was anything related to the assassins, they'll buy it.)
Awe -paps- For the moment, no Regent charm is planned, sorry D; Not sure about the (a bit further) future, maybe we'll come up with something for the side cast because some characters like the Regent do have some request xD
I'm really bad at these kinds of games where stats determine the outcome xD So far I'm on maybe my 3rd restart of the game and 7th try to survive the attack in the middle of the night. I keep dying no matter what so at this point I'm going to try to find a tutorial because I want to experience the full demo; it's been absolutely amazing so far. The writing is incredible and the action doesn't happen too fast, as it does in a lot of other visual novels I've played/read. I'm super stoked for the full game.
Ahhhh thank you so much! We're super happy you enjoy the demo!
The fullgame will definitely have multiple difficulty settings and that will hopefully relax this a bit! This is not a tutorial per se but a spoiler-free hint sheet, since a lot of people were actually asking! Maybe it will help you a bit!
That was honestly so helpful. Thank you xD It realized it's actually not too difficult as long as you focus on intelligence/combat and the stats associated with the love interest you're pursuing. It was also really helpful to learn that the missions and alchemy items really aren't that important and you can, for the most part, ignore them. It's pretty cool in my opinion that this game kind of requires a lot of poking around and experimenting with what works or doesn't work, because it really gets you into the story and makes forward progress so much more rewarding.
Yes, missions are designed in a way that you can ignore them, but targetting the specific ones (especially in the final release) that relate to your romance pursue will make the MC's life a lot easier (literally)! xD Of course, there will be still lots of experimenting, but there are always some general thumb rules that get easier to figure out as time goes on :D
Sorry to say so but I downloaded this yesterday and I appear to be getting the bug that prevents you getting past the assassin encounter. It doesn't appear to matter what I say or do, whether I have the explosives, or how high my intelligence and/or combat skills are nor even the magic skills of any of the princes. I always get the ending where you collapse after catching the mage with Garion and his men and the game says that's the end of the demo.
Ah. Alright thank you for letting me know that I wasn't actually hit with a bug for once, If there is a bug in something I'm almost always unlucky enough to come up against it! I guess the ending seemed a little abrupt, and potentially deadly, to me and since I'd just read about a problem that others had with that encounter (while trying to find out if I was just flat out doing something wrong) I assumed the usual had happened again. Good to know the issue this time was only me being a twit!
Yeah, the ending can be a bit misleading since you collapse either way xD Just with or without the following death :P It will be better in the full version because the story actually continues xD
correct me if i'm wrong but wasn't the house name your character is from some kind of illuminati type order??? oh and another thing because i'm irritating, why would the princes come to greet us at the gate? lords and ladies would have to go to them to greet them as tradition dictates and what not
Not that we know of, no xD "Rosenkreuz" is a German word though, so it might appear here and there.
Also, the princes didn't come to greet you :) They were passing through, as it isn't an uncommon thing for them to actually be out of the palace for bussiness / missions. The greeting the MC would traditionally have to do was also skipped due to the State Dinner, since they were able to talk and give their regards to people there (off-screen xD).
yeah they're a terrorist group in the anime trinity blood and I remember looking them up and they were apparently some sort of secret society i can't really remember :/ and ooohhhh I seee
Do you have an idea what the price will be for the full release? I want to make sure I set aside some money for when I can buy or pre-order the game. :)
The full release will be for 20USD (with much more content!) although it’s possible to pre-order it for 15 (with extras) on our Early Bird Kickstarter tier next week >w<!
Aaaah we‘ll put different difficulties later >w< That will hopefully relax it a bit!
The thumb rule by such games is basically save often! xD Even if yow were to make all the wrong decisions it should be possible to have them like you by succeeding in their scenes check and their mission! :D
thank you!! And just to let you know I played through the whole demo even though I failed. The characters are interesting, and attractive to look at, the story is intriguing and the game mechanics are fun. Just wish I could kill all the nobels!!!!
Hi! I played the demo and I'm already a huge fan and totally willing to buy the full game. I was just curious as to if you think I will be released on Steam or maybe even a vague idea of when the full version will come out! You're doing great! Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you so much! So happy you liked it so much! >///<
Yes! The game will be released on Steam as well! The Steam page will be up the next couple of days after we have finished sorting out our Kickstarter campaign :D
We are aiming for a full release in Winter 2019 or Spring 2020. With all the content still upcoming that's the most realistic goal we can aim for (the demo barely covers 15%)! But we will release a second demo with more polished content during Next Spring to give you guys something to enjoy while waiting! :D
Normally I don't comment unless I have issues with the games but I wanted to say I really look forward to the full release, I'm very intrigued. The writing is also very lovely and I really NEED to know what happens. =3 Keep up the good work, I hope everything comes together nicely!
Hello! I'm currently playing the game and even though I'm not that far into the game, overall I am loving the concept and the minigame-esque part where we get to make the schedules for ourselves as well as the princes so that was cool :) I know that you just released this but I was wondering if you know if you're gonna make the full game be free or will it have a price tag?
Yup! When you're in the weekly scheduler, roll your mouse over your character portrait. Your stats will appear on the left. Do the same thing with the Prince's portraits and you'll see their progress as well.
OK-thanks. Also I have one more possibly stupid question (apologies)-from what I can tell, every week you can either do lessons (i.e. raise stats) OR craft an item OR do a mission, but you can't do 2-3 of those-is that correct or am I doing something wrong/not trying to do them in the correct order?
I liked the game very much, from the first minutes it already made me excited. I also liked the gameplay, it is very dynamic and the difficulty is normal (I really enjoyed the missions that appear on the map).
And ... I LOVED HAVING A CHOICE BETWEEN LADY OR LORD, WONDERFUL!
Ahhh! Thank you so much for playing and the kind words!
We're so happy the missions system is well received >//////< It's a feature we wanted to implement to give the players the choice to go on little side-adventures with the princes and also take a breather from the stressful events at court! (Because seriously, the MC will need it xD)
Serin is the standard route you get onto though if all affections are in balance. So to get onto the other routes, you can ignore the first mini quest (Heavenly Beauty) and finish the one of the character which route you want instead!
It depends, the general tip is to have Alexis' Combat OR Intelligence fairly high (40-ish) and the Princes' Magics 40-ish as well! Serin with Light & Wood, Nazir with Fire & Wind, Aurelius with Water & Darkness.
Also, make sure to refresh your build since our first release had a bug where you almost can't survive that scene xD Our newest build is from about 2-3 hours ago! You can continue with a Savegame anywhere before Week 11 :D
Just a quick question, since I suspect this may be the case...
For Serin's demo ending, is he supposed to be trained in light and wood? I have wind and wood come up as checks, have been training him in them a lot, but keep failing,
You suppose rightly, Light and Wood are Serin's elements!
If you have Wind coming up however, it's a hint you have enough affection points to get on Nazir's route. If you want to succeed in Serin's route, your Light has to be on 30 and Wood on 40. (We are considering lowering the stats since if it might seem to high for the first check >w< )
Edit: Also, there's been a bug reported on Week 11 which might make it impossible for you to succeed Serin's route! If you update the latest Demo and start again before Week 11 (any savegame from before that should be fine), it should be ok now! :D

I loved the demo! You really left me hanging... Can't wait for the full game! This is definetly going to be worth the wait and my money! <3
Thank you so much! >w< Happy you enjoyed it! :D
Amazing game but hate that it won't be free...
Thank you!

Oh, that's not a bug xD It's the true ending of the demo.
"End of the demo" = You made it through o.ob
"Game Over" = You died and could have done things differently o.ob
Ah. Alright thank you for letting me know that I wasn't actually hit with a bug for once, If there is a bug in something I'm almost always unlucky enough to come up against it!

I can't wait for this to be fully released- I'm thoroughly entranced. Keep up the good work, I'll definitely be pre-ordering!
Thank you so much! :D We shall keep doing our best!

That's a freaking steal?? I was expecting more, I'm ready for my money to be taken. xD
I wanna love this game, but i fucking suck! I fail at every test, and no one like me lol. Oh well .
Aaaah we‘ll put different difficulties later >w< That will hopefully relax it a bit!

Hi! Thank you for playing :D Super happy you enjoyed the game so far! >w<
A more detailed free demo is planned along the road and the full release will have a price tag >w<
Ooh I see okay cool. Thanks for answering my question and I have a feeling that I will for sure purchase the full game when it comes out! :D
Hi. Overall I'm really enjoying the game so far (looking forward to a full release) but I was wondering-is there a way to check your stats anywhere?
Yup! When you're in the weekly scheduler, roll your mouse over your character portrait. Your stats will appear on the left. Do the same thing with the Prince's portraits and you'll see their progress as well.
Thanks for covering >w<b
It’s as Answerless says xD
In the full release we will implement an option for you to access the stats better >w< And glad you’re enjoying the demo so far! :D
OK-thanks. Also I have one more possibly stupid question (apologies)-from what I can tell, every week you can either do lessons (i.e. raise stats) OR craft an item OR do a mission, but you can't do 2-3 of those-is that correct or am I doing something wrong/not trying to do them in the correct order?
Not at all! It's correct. You can only perform one out of those 3 actions >w<
Omg xD While some people can't seem to escape death too.
But of course, our end game will have many more glorious deaths o.ob
I liked the game very much, from the first minutes it already made me excited. I also liked the gameplay, it is very dynamic and the difficulty is normal (I really enjoyed the missions that appear on the map).
And ... I LOVED HAVING A CHOICE BETWEEN LADY OR LORD, WONDERFUL!

About a doubt that I have ... does it have an ending for the Aurelius and for the Nazir? I'm just getting Serin's.
Oh it does!
Serin is the standard route you get onto though if all affections are in balance. So to get onto the other routes, you can ignore the first mini quest (Heavenly Beauty) and finish the one of the character which route you want instead!
I love this game! But I can't get past when the assassins are at the castle, any tips?
Hey! Thank you so much for playing! :D
It depends, the general tip is to have Alexis' Combat OR Intelligence fairly high (40-ish) and the Princes' Magics 40-ish as well! Serin with Light & Wood, Nazir with Fire & Wind, Aurelius with Water & Darkness.
