I'm so glad you enjoyed!! :D (though I am sorry about the current end haha. Unfortunately it may...continue to be a little nerve-racking in the future 👀)
Hi! (And thank you karygurl!) Yes the base game will remain free here on itch.io, with bonus art and content available through Ko-fi, and more eventually through Patreon once I open that up!
Hi! Yes absolutely and thank you for the interest in supporting on Patreon! 😊 I’m planning to open it up before the next update with a queue of bonus writing and art, and will be sure to post a dev post when it’s live!
Hi! If there was a specific error message you received please let me know! Some standard things are that the game can't be played in incognito mode, and sometimes local browser storage can limit it as well. Hope there's a way for you to play!
Uh, I'm sorry but... why are my saves gone? I also used save to disk for backup or some sort. It doesn't work either and said i used them from the wrong game while the files is written nameless on it. Is it a bug or some sort?
Hi! This is likely due to Patch 1.1 coming out a few days ago! I'm not sure if it'll fix the issue, but I just reuploaded the file and named it the same as before. If it still doesn't work, then you may need to set up your playthrough again, and sorry for the inconvenience!
That said, I highly recommend and you'll likely need to set up new saves before the next content update because of the features implemented in the patch, which may mess up references to your character in the future if using an old save. More details in the dev log!
Thank you! It still doesn't work unfortunately. While I'm saving the new saves, the name had the word copy on it. Ex : the-nameless-copy-number-number.save. However, the usual one does not have any copy in it. Maybe that's the reason why?
My guess its a duplicate of the game and that's probably why the save doesn't work
Ah! Okay yes sorry I know where the copy is coming from. Granted, still can't guarantee it will fix the saves, but I've uploaded the version that has the name without "copy" from my local Twine! Thanks for your patience and for this quick learning point haha
It's been quite awhile since I've had a demo for a game make me lose sleep because my brain just kept twisting it about trying to get...something out of it. Even longer since I had to try every single path I could to see which I liked more. (Oisein has been chosen). I particularly love the fact that in a world of supernatural races, we get to be a supernatural. And question: we've seen Oisein's whole face before The Thing right? I'm not stupid and missing the fact that we've never seen one side of their face, right?
I saw your post on tumblr about committing to one format, and I really hope it helps because I want to see the end of this story. I've just one concern/bug: right now I cannot play the twine version here because the box that goes behind the text isn't there; I switched over to the other demo because...I needed to be a Fae and steal Oisein's heart. I saw another person had the same issue, so I'm hoping a fix was already in the works because even redownloading the game didn't fix it for me.
All this to say, I really hope this sees its end, I don't think my heart could take not knowing what is going on with Faceless McMurderson (the most polite of nicknames I have for them) Sorry for talking a lot. I just...Thank you for creating this world.
First of all, thank you so much for such a lovely comment and words! It really means a lot to me and makes me really happy that you enjoyed. <3
And yes, now that I've been able to focus a bit more into one version, I went back into the code and I'm releasing a patch soon for that. I unfortunately still can't replicate that passage bg issue, but I will be adding new features to disable the background image and make the background just a solid color depending on your light/dark mode preference!
[minor spoiler answer]
And yes you've seen all of Oisein's face before, they were mostly trying to hide something new in their sheevra form since the last time you saw them. 👀 And that is an excellent nickname hahaha
Thank you so much again, and I can't wait to share more!
You are quite welcome! Not only did you make me want to draw my character, but also made me want to try Twine again! Which is an accomplishment worthy of a medal ;)
Without knowing how to code or look at anything like that or send you the file, I haven't a clue. But yay!
Oh good so my brain didn't do its magic trick and make a passage move or disappear! Cause it likes to do that. I cannot wait for that talk to happen...
among other things, i love the amount of lore! the writing, the scene with the sage and the bank was written in just the way that you get sucked in and momentarily forget you're reading text and not actually seeing it happen in front of you. it seems like you put a lot of time into it and i can't wait for more!
side note - i could be wrong, but do you play d&d?
Thank you so much!! That's so wonderful to hear <3
And haha no you are very correct, I do love D&D and play/DM often! This story actually started from a one liner about an NPC in Kobold Press' Courts of the Shadow Fey, and just spiraled out of control into a separate world and story!
ah that explains a lot! as a player of d&d myself, i couldn't help but notice the d&d-ness of this story, among other things. you must be quite a fun dm! i've never been dm, it is most certainly not my forte, so respect to you!
I know when I was seeing this its look familiar. This game is also available in Choicescript format. This game always lingering on Dashingdon, but I never think to play it because of the premise--but dang, i change my mind when play the Twine version.
Hi, I'm really enjoying the game so far - I especially appreciate all the informaion settings right at the beginning, it really cuts through a lot of what can sometimes be unclear when playing interactive fiction. Thank you!
Just one thing: in the downloaded version, a portion of the text isn't visible on the main screen or in settings due to the dark background, I don't know if this was just me?
Thank you so much! And hmm so I haven't been able to replicate this on the downloaded version (itch app/my local html file) Do you know what text seems to be missing or if it's the same in the light mode veresion?
On my version the light backdrop behind the text and in front of the photo seems to be missing. Perhaps I should try to re-download it? I switched to the dashingdon version and it’s awesome so far, thank you ✨

How many chapters in total have you planned, please?
Hi! As of now, the first book is aimed to be around 15 chapters :)
Thank you for answer me! <3
THIS WAS SO FUN!! The end was making me so nervous that I didn't even fully read it lol
I'm so glad you enjoyed!! :D (though I am sorry about the current end haha. Unfortunately it may...continue to be a little nerve-racking in the future 👀)
Loving this so far. I love that we can change our pronouns whenever we want! Can’t wait to see how this story develops in the future.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it and can't wait to share more! C:
does anyone knows how to download the html file?
will this game be free when it is finished?
It's right at the top of the game page! :D "Support: This game is a labor of love and is intended to stay free/donation-based."
Hi! (And thank you karygurl!) Yes the base game will remain free here on itch.io, with bonus art and content available through Ko-fi, and more eventually through Patreon once I open that up!
Could you let us know if possible when you open up a patreon so those of us who have it can support you there?
Hi! Yes absolutely and thank you for the interest in supporting on Patreon! 😊 I’m planning to open it up before the next update with a queue of bonus writing and art, and will be sure to post a dev post when it’s live!
I am sad this game won't start the game. Oh well.
Hi! If there was a specific error message you received please let me know! Some standard things are that the game can't be played in incognito mode, and sometimes local browser storage can limit it as well. Hope there's a way for you to play!
i believe it was made with twine!
Hi! Yes, can confirm it was made with Twine, specifically with editing the Sugarcube format :)
Uh, I'm sorry but... why are my saves gone? I also used save to disk for backup or some sort. It doesn't work either and said i used them from the wrong game while the files is written nameless on it. Is it a bug or some sort?
I'm using pc to be exact

An excellent story! Thank you for bringing us such an amazing story!
Thank you for reading! :D

Thanks for giving it another chance and hope you enjoy!
hey loving the game so far <3. was just wondering if its possible to be polyamorous?
Thank you so much! And as of now I don't have any poly routes planned, but will update the romance info if that changes!

Thank you so much, and hope you enjoy the next parts of the story!!
