Lmao "a betrayal". Dude let other supporters know of his thoughts without even a particularly disrespectful take.Yeah, it could have been the wrong move to make. Short-sighted and flippant. I'm gonna standby it.
From my perspective, you were a 1-month patron that never said anything until I used the words "sandbox" and "life sim" to vaguely describe my ideas for future game systems... whereby you publicly expressed your doubt towards the project and said you were going to stop supporting it for the time-being. Kinda felt like a betrayal, since I made it pretty explicit for the time being that I'm going to continue Orphan in it's current format... But sure, reasonable enough. You had your doubts.
Why you felt like you had to take that stand publicly instead of reaching out to me, (i.e. sowing the seed of doubt in the rest of community), I don't know. I'm pretty accessible through here and Discord; easy to reach, I'm happy to talk w/ people about the game and it's design. It's okay to express concern. But your post on patreon felt a bit like a middle finger, "I'm out", so yeah... I blocked you and went on with my day.
Why was I supposed to reply?

Did you expect me to beg you to stay subbed? To potentially change or not change my game's design over the fate of $6? No man... that's not how I operate. I'm deeply grateful for my patrons and those who want to be a part of the community & support the game's development. But if you don't fuck with what I'm putting out, and want to leverage your support of the game over a potential design decision that I'm making... You can get that ass blocked.
But maybe I'm crazy. Cheers man, and I hope ya'll enjoy the newest update.
You're a clown.
Man this looks promising. Text CYOA games are fun. Just wondering if everything/most kinks are optional?
The only thing I dislike about games with branching paths is getting surprise buttsexed (any "niche" kink I'm not interested in) because I either picked the wrong choice (That wasn't obvious enough) or the choices all lead to surprise buttsex one way or another.
For example, I see that one of the paths lead to being sold into slavery. I'm not really into that so do I get to easily avoid that sort of thing by picking the right choices (That are obvious) or is it locked behind failing a skill check?

Oh yeah, heh, I totally hate when that happens too... Unless?
Jokes aside—Orphan doesn’t do sneak attacks with niche kinks.
If something lewd, degrading, or irreversible is about to happen, you'll see it coming like a storm on the horizon.
That said, Cradle is a brutal world. Sometimes failing a check hurts. Sometimes it scars. But you won’t end up bent over a barrel just because you picked “Talk to Stranger.” If you get collared by your mistress or stepped on by a succubus, you earned it. Or you secretly wanted it. Probably both.
And just to be clear— the Gladiator / enslaved route isn't some forced-fem humiliation spiral. Quite the opposite.
It's a Bull path. A Chad path. You might start chained, but you rise by force. You conquer through strength, charisma, or sheer stubborn vitality. There will be plenty of dominance, sex, power, and revenge in that route—if you seize it.
Also—just dropped a fresh devlog over on

Damn Been following this for awhile now, love what you doing. My only ask is if we'll ever have the little pick-pocket Gobo in the story again.
is there a guide to the different routes you can take, like i always get shelved in to sort of academy and the story is shortly over, where are the other routes?
I guess I chose something incorrectly in the tavern in the beginning as I didn't get the topless elf. rip

I adore this game, certainly top 5 I've played on this site in terms of prose and word-building. Feels like it could be a genuine adult fantasy novel. However, I do wish there were something like journal entries to remind me of people I've met, different species, locations, etc since it's been a few months since I last played Exalted Text

I finished it after several hours and I think there are many paths, because from the previews uploaded in the first post I never found the violet demon being or the elf in the bikini smoking the pipe.
I feel as if the game is now about 10% or less of its full content, it could easily reach 1 million words in the future, it looks like a big alien world.
In my case, the route I blindly followed ended in an unexpected way:
I couldn't catch the thief because two rascals crossed my path.
I probably chose the wrong way to deal with them and ended up as a slave in the arena.
I killed the ogre very easily.
Enter a grand banquet where you talk to the three royal maidens, your new friends and another gladiator, and finally find the gypsy sitting alone at a table in the corner.
To be continued...
Two typos I found:
I also like that it has music, it accompanies the reading.
So, did I like it as a whole? I think so, but I'm a bit dazed now, firstly because it's 5.50 AM and I'm already a bit sleepy, and secondly because of the abrupt ending.
If you're looking for sexual content, perversions, etc, I don't think it's for you, it's a slow read of an epic adventure in medieval style with many of the classic races and a mystery in the background. One of those books you find in a library and not in F95.
But I think I'll wait for the end of the banquet and how that part ends before I decide.

None of the buttons on the sidebar work. Or have icons on them for that matter. So no settings, no saving, no rollback. Anyone knows how to fix or just unplayable?
That's completely and utterly different than mine.I finished it after several hours and I think there are many paths, because from the previews uploaded in the first post I never found the violet demon being or the elf in the bikini smoking the pipe.

I caught the thief, messed around with a elf slave in a tavern, went to the school, then followed the few school things til to be continued.
I went through again and lied to the elf about who I was and didn't get friendzoned this time.

So that's the elf I missed, but did you find the purple/violet demoness?
If it wasn't for the spoiler in that picture, I would never have thought this game would have supernatural content, you find all sorts of diferent things here
.What I don't know is whether the content will only go into two or three stories and the rest you find will be quickly closed as a "bad ending" (except for death), or if the dev is thinking in the madness of writing content for every possibility/path.
i don't know i when to the school root and just got the demoness maybe because i stole the book? any of you got to the point where you can upgrade your self?
