Very good game but I'll wait until it's completed. I'm tired of starting all over again from the beginning with each update (because old saves won't work). Otherwise everything is great (girls, story ,...). Maybe the fights should be improved though.

Anyone know how to fix the bug where you start the first trial fight in the scout and both side disappear and you cannot select the character at all?

Hello

Something weird happened. I played v0.145 last month. Then installed v0.146 today and I can't load my saves (I get an error when trying to)

I don't see OP stating that old saves won't work or people complaining about the same thing so it has to be me...

Any ideas on what could I fucked up?

Pretty impressive so far. Good story, interesting setting, nice characters. Not everybody's the same; porn doesn't feel too "outrageous porn logic".

Obviously it's all WIP, but just my observation for the current state -

Combat feels a little bit clunky UI-wise (selection detection could be better, also perhaps automatically select next character once a character has acted?) and the fact that everybody does precisely X damage it's basically a math puzzle. Probably the only game where if I know the encounter I can just sit there and shrug, knowing I'll survive with precisely 1HP (or whatever); should at least have a small random jeopardy (but clearly leveling, equipment and such doesn't seem to be a thing yet, so maybe on the radar anyway...).

Talking about the UI; I felt that a bit unnecessarily clunky too. Why no convenient quick save button, why that inconvenient load/save switch, why no roll back ... just some small things that feel kinda unnecessary, given that it's Ren'py.

Lastly ... the art is great. But sometimes it feels notably inconsistent. Dunno if it's just me, but for example furry wolf girl looks like a character from a different game; "best friendo probablyfutureenemybutmabyeforoncenot" in his ... suspiciously manly form sorta too ... to me anyway. Well, it's still better than no/bad art so this is just a vague point ^^

But overall certainly something I'll want to come back to as the game develops.

Good game. The extremely awful "combat" is holding it back

The combat would be a lot better if this was on RPGM but it's just clunky. Just remove it.

I don't get what everyone's complaints with the combat system are about aside from having to press an extra button or 2 per fight? I get it just feels like a time sink rn, but trust, there exists much worse in other games here & yes there's room for improvement but I don't mind it at all.

Improving combat is on my things to do. It's functional but it's still kinda dull and nowhere near where we want it to be yet. (Just juggling 100 other things too).

Alderian News! + job posting!

Hello everyone!
Lots of news and little things to talk about.
We're still gathering assets for the next update as well as continuing the usual under the hood stuff improvements, and we're still exploring options with how to deal with the saves issue, albeit work around or something similar.

(Yes yes, combat still sucks - we know)

One big unfortunat piece of news is that our one coder unfortunately has to step back for a couple months due to ill health, and thus, we're currently seeking a new Assistant coder (Renpy) If you're interested, DM me over on discord at: lostraven#1726

In other news, (and a little bit of gaming history here), we've managed to track down some of the original sample sounds they used as the basis for the original silent hill game(s), and with it, we're able to make some really cool new retro sounds. Check out the WIP track below!

That's all for the news now, back to work we go!~


The shadow reveals himself at last...


Thank you all as always for your support, you guys are the reason we're still here!
if you have any questions, feel free to messsage here or DM us over on the discord!

I really love this game so far. The Story is immersing and it is one of this games where I don't just skip the text till the next sex scene. Also for the time being the Quest are not to repetitive. As others already have said the fighting needs work.
Disclaimer: I am subscribed on Patreon (after testing the game)

I'm intrigued with the character storys (especially Elena) and look forward to take these followers with me on the coming adventures.

And by the way if anything bad happens to Elena i will burn down your house. Just kidding, or am I?

I've been curious about this game for a while now and finally tried it. I liked it so much I decided to become a patron for a while. I ended up liking different things than I expected however. First off, the monster designs are great. The setting is really intriguing with it's implications of Ancient Astronauts and the like. However, I'm left with a few questions about the setting. For one, sometimes the Demorai are referred to as demons, but other times demons are talked about as distinct (referring to Divine in the Dros/Draya quest). Is this supposed to be just them using it as a colloquialism for evil being or is there something more to it? The other one is about the length, or rather shortness of Nijah's pregnancy. Is this just for the players' conveniance to not waiting nine months or it a result of the parasite? Neither Nijah nor Caspian seem to consider anything unusual about this. The third option is that pregnancies are this fast in the setting, I guess.

Regarding the characters and relationships, they are quite good. The only one I feel mild dislike about is Elena, which is in part due to her being furry, I would have preferred a more down to earth beastwoman design or at least a more normal colouration and found her personality somewhat annoying. I still enjoyed her questline since for involving to many different people. The Elena/Helena scene was unintentionally funny, I feel like future content should remark about their names. Sad that you decided to not name Nyx Lena, that would have had potential for a really funny or confusing scene. About other characters I didn't enjoy that much, Dros/Draya was not that great. I prefer letting him stay him, since I found her design a bit bland. The sex scenes were good, but there was overall not a lot to the character and I hope he will get a few more quests to flesh him out more. Here I also want to mention that the addition a the gay tag gave me the final push to try the game and I was a bit disappointed how Caspian just kind of roll with doing a man (a feminine man, but still) when the very scene says that it's criminal in his culture. I'm fine with it, and the alternative would probably be to track whether any prospective guy is his first, but I found it strange.
Anyway, I hope for more male love interests in the future. I don't need parity, in fact there being fewer guys interested is actually realistic. But I do hope for a bit variety. Which brings me to Markus. I would be really happy if a was a love interest, but I enjoyed his friendship to Caspian so much that it wouldn't be a big loss. I know that they may become enemies, but I really like having a best friend character that's not just a doormat, wingman or cuck for the main character. Also I hope for more scenes with Fawha and Alea.
I also really enjoy Regina, I wonder if she is a black mage or just really tolerant/knowledgeable. Appreciate that you take your time with her instead of just delivering fetish fuel a soon as possible. I also wonder about the main characters father. That he is also at an archaelogical expedition feels suspicious. The armor may either be an apology or to alleviate guilt.

This has grown far larger than I planned and I still haven't gotten all my thoughts out, so I will end it here and maybe post another time.

Demons are in fact a seperate species/race than the Demorai, however, people know little about the Demorai other than 'They're murder hobo'ing their way across the land' so they can sort of colloquially refer to them as 'demons' because both are viewed negatively to say the least.

The reason for the pregnancy is really just player convenience - There is some reference I got wrote down where the Parasite does enhance any sired offspring etc.

About other characters I didn't enjoy that much, Dros/Draya was not that great. I prefer letting him stay him, since I found her design a bit bland.

The Dros/Draya script was a difficult one to produce, I was away on holiday and literally hammering the script in the backseat of the car ride up to the airport, submitting a broken script over to them to fix.

We had tons of errors, communication issues, staff going awol and it was delayed a lot so that did affect the final product

I'll probably go back eventually to add more to Dros/Draya at some point just to give that character a bit more closure.
