Whoo, this thread blew up.
It is a great game nonetheless.
It's finally completed, congratulations to the developers!
What a time to be alive.
Super nice art style, good grammar from the looks of it AND it's complete?
Pretty good game with a really good art.
Thank you! x4
We plan to release a more polished version on Steam and Itch at some point in the next few months, but for all intents and purposes this is the complete version (we probably won't be adding any more content to the game). All of our attention right now is on our next project, so keep an eye on us if you liked Sanguine Rose
Hold up, I have been loving this game since the early days and been staying away from it until completion, you telling me that there is no happy ending for the cute little orc and the merry band ?
You are breaking my heart !
How to get the Raven route? I looked at the pictures and that's the only thing I want from this game! What actions should I take? Help please! I just started playing. I really don't want to take a wrong turn! Thanks in advance!
Od course there are happy endings, what he meant (I think) is that if you try to have everything it doesn't end well with the girls.
I only saw 2 endings originally and that was 1 where I stuck with Crow which was a really good end IMO and one where I went with Carmen which I won't spoil.
Never expected to see more which is an awesome surprise, be great to see the epilogues.
Avaron sums it up nicely. Trying to have everything is bad, but there are happy endings. It all depends on your priorities. If you want to be with Crow (AKA Raven apparently
) then keep your mind open to Carmen's "ideas" and definitely don't send Crow out whoring. Every time you can keep Crow for yourself, do it. You should also choose to get supplies from town as the first choice in the game, since the best Crow ending is down this route. Be smart with Carmen too, since if you piss her off too much it'll harm your relationship with Crow.
So long as you do that, you'll be able to end the game with Crow, but what that relationship looks like depends on the choices you make at the end.
If I got it the right way around it's a husband and wife team with the husband writing and the wife doing the art?
Either way they do great work together and I really look forward to seeing what comes next.
Not married but not a mile off
If you haven't seen it already we've got a UI demo for our next project on our Itch. There's no porn, just a preview of dialogue:

This game features the most pathetic band of mercenaries every featured in a digital screen I reckon. Non of them are seasoned or battle hardened, and they all act like school girls. They allow themselves to be outwitted by a prisoner while letting her roam like a free range chicken in the basement without chaining her up and gagging her the moment she opens her mouth (if this was a realistic mercenary group the moment carmen opened her mouth would have cost her front row of teeth) and then they send the greenest, most inexperienced one of them (the short orc) to watch over her and she ends up having quality time with her chatting while watching the fire! And whats more frustrating is that the MC can spy on this jaw dropping travesty and do nothing! Like what the hell, you see your prisoner formulating dissent in your ranks first hand and all you do is whelp, lets watch how this unfolds! It is like a band of children role playing mercenaries.
No worries, the game is not for you. From a historical perspective it was actually pretty common not to harm captured nobility much since it increased the chance of retribution and hurt your chances of getting a ransom. That aside, Roman, Markus, and Glasha explain in the opening dialogue that their employer wants Carmen unharmed, and they aren't intending to keep her long so they don't have a proper cell to hold her in, or chains.
Like I said though, that's pretty irrelevant because the game just isn't for you, and that's fine. Some people think horror games like Amnesia would be better if the player had a wooden beam they could smack the monsters with, other people like that their options are limited. Sanguine Rose is about power dynamics, and how they can be inverted. You being somewhat powerless to contain your prisoner is part of that. Some people really enjoy what we've done with Carmen, but not everyone does, and that's fine.
I'm not surprised about the lack of harem ending, the dominant man thing is based off the last time I played during the development of the first day, by your response I'm assuming it's either been removed, leads to a bad end, or is greatly limited beyond the last bit I've seen. It has been quite awhile. I assume there is still a route of turnabout, even it's only in an ending.
So no maledom, just MC getting femdom'd?
There are dominant options you can take as Roman. The challenge is in leaning into the options that you have. Yelling at Carmen that she has to do everything you say won't go very well in the long run, but that doesn't mean you have to worship her. If you play into her game, but make it clear you want her to please you, then that's how she'll try to appeal to you. Crow is also rather submissive, and so you have options to be dominant with her. There's also endings/epilogues with maledom content.
i have got two ending where i release carmin the last on in the gellery does anyone knew how to get it i have been trying and i still don't knew what to do to get it the last gellery picture even the one were he is a slave still there is one that is missing and they tell me that i need to release carmen to unlock
There are ending epilogues that can only be accessed by releasing Carmen (without being anyone's slave). There's the Commander Epilogue, with Carmen's "students", and there's the Queen's Bitch Epilogues, which I think makes up the last two gallery items.
how can i enable animations?? in the options i turned on and off, nothing changes, just still images
The game is mostly still images. There are three animations later on which that menu option is there for. If you change the option, you should reload the game to make sure it takes effect.
