That was a really good first release. Not so much of a game so far, but I was so absorbed in the story I didn't even notice the lack of choices. Same goes for the sex scenes. I know she was probably just a side character, but I hope we'll be able to free the slave girl (Ann or something, I'm not good with names) at some point. I'm also really curious to see what Esmond's plan is. For some reason I believe it's going to be something that makes no sense at all, but will actually work. I guess I'll have to wait and see.

Anyone knows if there's a time frame for the updates? Monthly, bimonthly or something like that?

Ugh, Lets hope the DEV atleast makes ANY NTR Avoidable.

THAT choice makes a HUGE different for many Fans/Readers if they want to continue to read the story.
as many games on this topic we already know that she will be naked and tied hostage by this idiot, I just hope I can save her before the worst

and the dev could list future tags, it would be easier

I think it means they freed. 'Lifted' is something you wouldn't associate with application of slavery. It would be "imposed", "enforced", or something along those lines.
A better, clearer alternative might be "lifted slavery from all pink-eyed people" or "lifted pink-eyed people from slavery".
This is just a guess though

I came here to fap, found myself screaming at the "This is the end of episode 1" screen.


CourtesyFlush already explained pretty much the only problems that I might point out in this version of the game, so I won't repeat them. Good luck with this game!

Nice graphics, game pretty well done, story is interesting enough... the only thing that really rubbed me the wrong way is that the game seems full of thinly veiled social justice narratives.

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

If that stuff doesn't bother you, and you don't mind "slow burn" games, you might enjoy this one. It's well made, with attractive women, and a real story. For me I think I've had enough of the "soy feel" of this and will probably move on. I'm not knocking the quality of the game. It's just not the kind of narrative I enjoy. Kinda feels like watching Star Trek Discovery... you want to enjoy it because it's well made and you're a fan of the genre, but the ideological undertones cannot be ignored if you're sensitive to that kind of stuff.

But hey, Grace is hot. Maybe I'll check back to see if she gets nude. ;)

Huh, I was on the fence with this one but I think you just sold it to me. Will check it out, thanks.

Meh. I mean, ofc the MC initially isn't really what you would imagine a farm boy in medieval time would look like (idk if you tried working in a farm but it's a pain in the ass, especially if you're the only "working man", you would have some sort of muscles or at least not be a literally stick like our guy) and yes, it did look a bit "soy" in the beginning, but I don't really understand why that would matter. I'm not a leftist myself, but:
1) strong women are cool af if done right, so I don't really know why you would have problems with them. Wait until the game progresses to complain about "strong women" if they are written like mary sue(s)(every thought towards Rey Palpatine is rightful and shouldn't be avoided), not before giving it a chance;
2) people with disabilities and ethnic thingy, well, I for one dig this one. Who doesn't cheer on the underdog? I would LOVE to see the MC's friend (yes, I won't name a single character in this comment because my memory is shit. Yes, that includes the females too) become a renowned fighter that can kick ass with a longsword or shortsword and actually stay righterous. And before you ask, yes it's plausible, since it was done in our world more than once(at least the being good at fightning part, not sure the righteous one) I don't see why it shouldn't work in a world with magic stuff. For the ethnic thing, well, it gives a strong narrative and exposes the MC to the "reality", after all in our history we always despised the "strange ones". Look at the redheads, in my country (Italy) until a few centuries ago they were regarded as beings with the Devil's hair, for example in Verga's(a famous 19th century Italian writer) novel "Rosso Malpelo" the MC was a boy named, well, Rosso Malpelo, which means literally "Red Badhair". He was a redhead, in case it isn't clear. And that novel is all but leftist propaganda or whatever, it simply wants to expose more people to the reality of our society. I'm not going to talk about jews and gipsies because then it would become too much sensitive of a thread.

Anyways, I get that you're fed up with all the politically correct stuff, as am I, but from a fellow "new nerdy stuff doesn't represent what it was in the past" hater I'm questiong myself if you're bringing your crusade "too far", and reading too much in simply what the author wants to tell us while being comfortable him/her-self.


Or maybe it's leftist propaganda and I'm being simply driven away by the narrative, who knows.

I think it's the way it's worded. It seems apparent that it's not organically driven, but rather comes specifically from a progressive leftist ideological worldview.

Sort of like, as you hinted at, the difference between Sarah Connor/Ellen Ripley etc of the 80s and 90s... and the Captain Marvel/Rey/Michael Burnham's of today.

They're all supposedly "strong women", but the former were organic, human characters forced into tough situations who had to struggle with their own weakness to realistically fight to survive against great odds. The latter are whiny OP Mary Sues with zero humanity or depth and just written as fantasies about feminist tropes that are objectively false in reality.

For example seeing numerous women as knights, elite warriors, the true rulers of the land, etc... when in reality women are objectively ***vastly*** weaker than men, to the point where there is basically zero overlap between them... with even the strongest women barely touching the weakest end of the male bell curve.

We see this play out today where women in the military have dramatically reduced physical fitness requirements, somewhere around 30% less on average I think... because they simply cannot perform at remotely the same level as the men. And even for the extremely rare few who can manage to squeak into those levels, they face 150% the rate of injury because the female musculo-skeletal system is simply much less robust than for males, so you see more muscle, ligament, and bone injuries, making even those who might have passed the initial physical into walking casualties waiting to happen and be a burden on their fellow troops.

The list goes on. It's the real reason you do not see women in the NFL etc.

Here's a really good example of that painful reality for women.

Let's look at the arguably best female tennis player in human history. Serena Williams (along with her sister.)

Another event dubbed a "Battle of the Sexes" took place during the 1998 Australian Open between Karsten Braasch and the Williams sisters. Venus and Serena Williams had claimed that they could beat any male player ranked outside the world's top 200, so Braasch, then ranked 203rd, challenged them both. Braasch was described by one journalist as "a man whose training regime centered around a pack of cigarettes and more than a couple of bottles of ice cold lager". The matches took place on court number 12 in Melbourne Park, after Braasch had finished a round of golf and two shandies. He first took on Serena and after leading 5–0, beat her 6–1. Venus then walked on court and again Braasch was victorious, this time winning 6–2. Braasch said afterwards, "500 and above, no chance". He added that he had played like someone ranked 600th in order to keep the game "fun" and that the big difference was that men can chase down shots much easier and put spin on the ball that female players can't handle. The Williams sisters adjusted their claim to beating men outside the top 350.
A guy not even in the top couple hundred male players, after playing a round of golf and having a couple drinks absolutely *wrecks* two of the best female tennis players in history, including the #1 best in history.

This story plays out across various sports where physical prowess is key.

So, again, to see a pretty normal, fit, attractive woman presented as some powerful warrior is just a joke. It's a progressive leftist fantasy that does not reflect reality.

Women by and large were not warriors because men would very easily physically slaughter them with little effort due to the massive disparity between the sexes in our sexually dimorphic species.

So when you have that, along with the cripple, along with the thinly veiled "racial prejudice" stereotype, layered over with lessons about how they're just raised wrong and need to be taught better etc... as though there is nothing else to the equation but appearance alone... (just look into things like the black/white test gap, average IQ differences between racial groups (more accurately genetic populations), average testosterone levels between those groups, and the correlations between these things and things like violent crime, murder, marriage rates, single parenthood rates, career outcomes, life expectancy, etc... and you see that there is an unpalatable but objectively verifiable reality out there that different average life outcomes between groups is not purely a result of baseless prejudice and discrimination for no reason, but rather stereotypes based on actual measurable differences between genetic populations that drive those stereotypes, which in turn drive the discrimination.

That doesn't mean that you can accurately judge an individual based on appearance alone. But you can absolutely gauge the likelihood of something... the odds someone will have a certain IQ, the likelihood they'll have a criminal record, the odds of them being violent, the odds of them being stronger than you, etc... the relative risk an individual might pose toward you, etc. Things like basic risk assessment. Those things are all objectively valid and based on that objective biological foundation. The measurable, verifiable reality of differences between not only individuals, but between groups based on biological sex, genetic population, etc.

I'm sure some people get offended by those facts, but facts they are and they shouldn't be lied about to suit some politically correct wishful thinking narrative.

For example, let's make a very clear and unarguable point.

Men and women in murder statistics.

Men are around 10 TIMES as likely to murder someone, which seems directly linked to things like male testosterone and temperament. Competitive, confrontational, quicker to violence, and more readily able to carry out that violence physically. So 90% of prison inmates for murder are male, vs only 10% female.

It's not that no females do it, it's just that for every 1 woman, there's 9 or 10 men.

That's not oppression. Women aren't oppressing men and locking them up at higher rates. That's men committing those crimes due to their biological nature being expressed around the world, and being locked up largely by other men for their actions.

I could go on and on... but hopefully you get the point.

Playing a game with a bunch of soy looking pretty boys running around with a bunch of domineering OP feminist fantasy women in a narrative based on a biased misrepresentation of historical prejudices related to appearance etc... the whole package comes together to form a thinly veiled social justice piece that subtly pushes these false narratives and off target worldview. (In reality there would probably be ZERO women in any of those roles in a given society, at best maybe 1 who happened to be any kind of warrior at all, much less some elite warrior. But to have the story basically riddled with them, and to have them look like models etc... for a story that tries to present itself as looking somewhat realistic (albeit in a fantasy setting), it just comes across as silly. It's feminist fantasy (or a fantasy for men who are into being dominated by women. And hey, again, if that's your fetish, knock yourself out.)

Again, it's otherwise well made and I don't fault people for playing it.

It's just not for me. I don't like being propagandized to by a worldview that I find ignorant, misguided, and counterfactual in ways that actually negatively impact my life and my country right now in the real world today. It's the same reason I quit watching TV, as it's largely become blatant progressive propaganda riddled with blackwashing, stupid weak men, OP Mary Sues, gender swapping, etc... everything to push the "straight white males are bad, healthy nuclear families are bad, women are strong geniuses that save everyone and should run everything, diversity and multiculturalism are and should be the norm" etc.

No thanks.
