I hope you will offer another possibility besides Steam to unlock the “Erotic Content Unlocker”, because I always have big problems to do this via Steam in my country.
We need to do more research about it. But when the game is fully released, we plan to add it to other stores eventually too.

With 18+ Steam keys that I have from itch or indiegala, there are no problems in 98% of cases. Same with Patreon.
18+ Steam beta test keys also work.

1. Some of the things being shown were for testing that we ended up letting in the game, such as bra size. The other things related to the character's tendency such as purity, loyalty, etc, will eventually affect the consequences of some quests you make. Always with some benefits and drawbacks. We are laying out the ground but these stats will serve more on the ending of the bigger story arcs in the future.

2. The mini-map will be worked on after we are done finishing the level design. So that's one of the last features that will be added. Unless we decide to make a placeholder until then.

3. The telekinesis is a work in progress. We plan to expand the controls of it to make you able to actually hold objects and people in the air. But the magic review will be done after we review the combat later this year.

4. There will be. But how deep it will go is dependant on how well our wishlist campaign and budget goes. On the ideal scenario we would even add ways for you to manage your legion. But it's not something we can do unless we manage to expand the current team.

5. Clothes have cloth-tags. If you play the legacy version you will see that some quests and dialogue lines are affected by it. We'll be adding more in the future.

6. In a way, yes. The idea is that we want the player to experience some of what would look like to conceal Kalyskah's nature from the public eye. So having hidden ways to feed is on the roadmap.

We are close to finishing the transition from Unreal Engine 4 to 5. We already released a demo on Patreon that shows a more well-rounded version of the game with better performance and after we are done transitioning the open world, we'll be moving the story forward at the same time that we do an overhaul on the combat, stealth and many other of the system that so far you might see a glimpse of.
Thank you so much for your answers. As far as I understand, purity, loyality and these perks will affect future dialogues or quest choices. But what does that stand for? Purity means how much she desires to be a vampire? Or is that a kind of sexual experience? Same goes for loyality. Is it possible to make that more understandable with tooltips? I assume a value of 53 is "normal" ... but with a value of 99 loyality, is she loyal to her kind or to what exactly? Is it better to have loyality 10 or 90. What does it means for the player? Or is this just a number that gets checked to choose certain answers in dialogues?

I think I understand everything else. It's very likely that I become a supporter on Patreon soon. I want to try to explore the game a little bit more, but in V0.23 I got stuck with my progress very early. After I had a bath, spoke with the library guy, found some papers for the servant and went to the docks, I don't know what to do.

Is the steam release the cut content version with less features ive seen them getting the adult content removed very often to be listed on the main store pages, otherwise they will be kinda demonitized.

Purity is how romantic the character is. Notice that this has nothing to do with whether or not Kalyskah likes sex and it doesn't lock content out of this game. This is not a corruption game. It just means with low purity Kalyskah would enjoy rough poses more than the more passionate ones.
Loyalty is related to how she commits to her word and how honourable she is. Low loyalty also means that she's better at using deception.
Compassion is how much she identifies with humans and cares about their lives.
Obedience is about her being more inclined to be submissive or dominant in bed. It has nothing to do with how she acts in the everyday life. She can enjoy being submissive in bed but dominant in her normal life or the other way around.

No value is better or worse than the other, it's a matter of how you like to play the game. Out goal is to make that every path has it's pros and cons.

We will have the base game with no explicit content, and a free DLC unlocks the erotic content. Just so people have a more obvious way to toggle it on and off and also so the base game is visible without people needing to login, etc. The erotic content unlocker won't be available in countries where explicit NSFW content isn't available though.

Any plans for a GOG release, or will it only be on Steam?
No ETA on it, but it's highly possible to happen after the early access is complete.

I am sorry. I am too dumb to find Amara in the basement of the temple. I am running circles and found everyone else, including the torture chamber, but can't find her place. Anyone have a hint for me?

She is on that first corridor that has the electric device, her door is on the opposite side of the door Laver is, but a little bit before that

Ok, thanks, but actually, I was thinking about the paid option in itch.io.
I might be wrong, but afaik you cannot buy it through itch.io atm at least. You can only download the free demo, but the current one there isn't the latest.

For that, you need to subscribe on patreon and link your itch.io account, which allows you to download the latest version.

Thanks. Previously, I remember it could be done, but I could remember wrong, I was a Patreon for one year.
Did a one-off subscription to see how it was, but I realised I had misunderstood, I thought it was the "prelude", in reality is the part after she wakes, some choices that were there before are not yet in this version, and jumping across seems to work differently (to me, seems less well, but I did not try much, so, that can be a wrong impression).

We didn't add a paid version on itch because it would require us to open a new page every month for people to download the latest update. I know that some devs do it but we decided not to.

Looks good as a game, but it's eight years old already and only on version 0.23.3? That probably sounds like harsher criticism than I mean but I made a post about certain games on here having to be legacies passed down to future generations to play and complete.

Kalyskah Is there any way to make it so people who want to support the game on Steam can do so? I'd love to monetarily support the game, and I don't use Patreon/SubscribeStar or Itch to purchase my games.

We don't have it yet but spreading the word and offering positive feedback helps us great deal!

When Elden Ring Veterans Design a Dungeon for Your Game

Hello everyone!
We've got some wholesome news to share! Upsurge Studio, a top-tier external art and design team with an amazing track record, is now collaborating with us on Kalyskah. These folks have worked on titles like Elden Ring, Diablo II: Resurrected, and Mortal Shell, and they’re bringing their A-game to help us craft even more immersive dungeons.
Upsurge Studio excels in creating detailed and atmospheric game environments, with a great eye for combining realism and gameplay with style—and that's just what we need for Kalyskah. Their expertise in working on gothic environments, such as Stormveil Castle in Elden Ring, perfectly aligns with our vision for the dark-fantasy world that Kalyskah lives in.
We've put together a video showcasing some of the fantastic work that's already in progress, and we can’t wait for you to see it!
Want to know more about Upsurge Studio? Check out their website here: .
Thank you, as always, for your continued support. We're excited to have you with us as we push Kalyskah to new heights!
