What does this mean? Does it mean that there is the original ending and the remake to choose from? And depending on which one the player chooses, I suppose the story has to be different in the next episodes, right? (Because having different ending options but having no difference in the story in the next chapters wouldn't make sense)
Mimir in his discord said that this is the first serious decision that we make in this novel, and in the future the story will change significantly from our choice.

I should clarify this a little better. There were two versions of EP1. The "original" and the "revision".

Whether or not this changes the story in the next chapters, well, I'll leave you to find out for yourself.

Hey guys, I'm back! This release is probably going to be a little rough around the edges. I have some work to do at my IRL job so I just decided to release it in this state. Please report any bugs to me either here or through the discord and I'll try to get them fixed asap. My upload speed is atrocious so unless it's a major bug or many smaller ones, I'm going to bundle most of the fixes together into a final release along with the music and sfx update. Anyways, hope to see what you guys think of this episode!

I'm glad to see this is back. I'm going to have to start over but I still remember most of my choices. Let's see where this revision and new ending for EP1 leads.

I sympathize with the main character not wanting to talk to/spend time with many of these people. Most of them are completely insufferable. Makes sense why he'd rather go to war than continue to interact with them. Half the conversations need a "No, I'm leaving now" option like the one that's there currently.

Great update, the writing is still top notch, I'm glad this is back and hopefully this game can have a better schedule but if the updates are as big as this I'm not complaining, story wise I won't say much more besides that victoria is crazy and i understand that people don't like her but imo she makes things more interesting so i'm going to keep her around. looking forward to the next chapter

Besides from the happiness, just want to say welcome back.
I know it is hard to pick up an abandoned game again when you lost your passion and saw the posts that how people was talking about you, it needs great courage to get on the path again.
So, thank you and welcome back, truly.

This story has exactly the same problem than 90% of VN´s here. Developer spends one year of his life for a couple of episodes and still MC is a pussy virgin (still developers trying we change mc´s name when nobody wants to be portrayed by that prudish) who refuses to have an approach to women in his life... I dont know if developers are a bunch of teenagers that have zero contact with women in real life, but how the f... are you gonna tell an erotic/porn story with a pathetic character unable to have some teasing, refuses contact with female characters and/or is constantly having regrets and second thoughts about sex or erotic moments?

Im not saying the characters gonna have sex first scene (in fact dialogues here are way above average), but come on, a little bit of "ok, lets play your game and have a pushover". How are you going to advance into story (specially an incest theme story, where characters should be used and intimate between them from start) if Mc acts like a repressed homo? Suddenly a sex scene comes out of nowhere because females are still trying because...reasons and thats the moment we keep trying with another game that maybe developer will know how to properly portrait characters in those kind of games...someday.

I mean to be fair the only girls he seems to have trouble being overly touchy feely with seems to be his sisters. I feel like that is fair and as long as the MC doesn't continue to be as standoffish to his sisters as we move on, I'm ok with it. Also, my MC banged already so I don't see an issue.

I enjoyed this update a lot. The family is confusing and fucked up tho so I hope we get more answers next update, it would be nice.

What the hell are you talking about if what you want is a fuckfest there are dozens of games like that on this forum or go watch porn I don't know, but many of us who play this type of game do it because of the taboo of relationships and the slow burn, what is the fun in this kind of stories if everything happens fast and the taboo dies quickly?

I think the guy was referring to a MC that would act like someone a bit more on the normal side of the spectrum. How in the world is this going to be an incest game when he treats his family like he was raped by the father, while his mom and sisters sat there giving the father pointers on how to rape his son better.
Slow burn games are fine, but with this MC, we're trying to melt a glacier with a Bunson burner. The MC did get his dick wet, but the MC being a closet homo may have some validity based on what we've seen...prolonging what happened in the past to make the MC act like this isn't doing the game any favors.
