My apologies. Early April, the version of Windows 10 I had on my computer stopped being supported, so it forced an update to a newer version--one that was incompatible with my wireless card or my motherboard, among other things. Attempts to restore a previous version failed, and, long story short, I'm need a new computer and then transfer a load of data from my old hard drive. Given various real life necessities, it isn't that high of a priority, and it may be a few more weeks before I'm completely up and running--I've only now managed to download the newest version of the game. I haven't given up on updating the walkthrough, but, if I do get around to doing one for version 0.8.1, it will be very late, and it is more likely I just wait for version 0.9.0.
I apologize again for any inconvenience this may cause anyone.
One quick comment about the new version, though. I'm surprised there isn't a third option regarding the Faerie Queen. Dickon witnessed Merek's vision and knows that mankind is facing extinction--it's also odd that Dickon seemed not to recognize the word when the Faerie Queen used it but understood it when Merek did--and he is aware, via the crone, that Princess Selena seems to be at the nexus of the coming darkness. I feel like that player should have an option to compare notes with the Faerie Queen, but it never even occurs to him that the cataclysm she foresees might be related to the events already surrounding him.
