Does anyone know how long it'll likely take till the game's finished
Considering the game is still in Act 1 and the team is still uncertain of when they are finishing it (there are 2 more Acts planned, each one will be its own game) .

The good news is that this Arc is very close to be completed and the next will take a different approach to make the development process faster.

My guess is that it may take close to half a year to finish Act 1 (based on the fact the game gets a new update each 2 months and the amount of content remaining will need at least 2 updates + all the process of polishing and debugging the game that is required before the Final release).

You are high on hopium if you think they are going to finish the game in 3 updates. We need at least two years for the Gobbos, the Fae and finishing up character arcs.

I'd say 9-10 updates should be enough, assuming they actually make some effort in an Act 1 epilogue after Rastedel that feels satisfying instead of just a cliffhanger. A demo built for Act 2 in the last update of 2026 while they are cleaning up Act 1 after it is content complete seems the best case scenario to me.

To elaborate, I think Astarte is done in the next three updates. They are actually working on that, I think the needed sex scenes got delivered though there is likely a bad end to be added there.
Gobbos are development hell, moving at a snail's pace. But they still should be able to finish them if just barely by the end of the year and it's not like they cannot progress other arcs in the meantime.
The fey and character arcs just need a couple of events each; alternatively they need nothing cause their stories are already way too advanced for a three act story in its first act.

Just noticed this game lacks the male domination tag. Took me way longer to find it again than it should have because of that :cautious:

This game would have finished a long time ago if it was solely focused on a single protagonist.
Nah. One protagonist wouldn't have changed anything about the development. It would have just filled in the game with more Rowan focused content or kept the Alexia scenes without her ability to make decisions and instead made her behave in response to her relationship and corruption stat as determined by the things Rowan does.

This game is not meant to be finished and everyone claiming the contrary is coping. 8 FUCKING (pun intended) YEARS and they still haven't finished ACT 1 of 3! At the current pace of development it would take them almost 30 years to finish the game. No. It's a fucking scam.
By the way, this artwork was in the game years ago. The dev who constantly posts ITT confirmed it was a possible ending CG that was reworked into a dream sequence. So they clearly had the art and intention of wrapping this game up a long time ago and didn't so they could continue milking patreon supporters.

That just sounds like they rescoped the game and went in a different direction, which seems to fit with the way the story was reworked from the earlier (lesser) iteration. Sometimes you re-use assets you make for different things?

I like SoC, but I've seen people saying ACT 1 was close to being finished for the last 2-3 years. I'm just going to continue enjoying the updates, however, I don't really expect even ACT 1 to be completed soon, never mind the game.

What are you talking about? Despite the slow progress of overall development, the game has regular updates with no delays. The devs are very clear and transparent about what is being worked on. Sure, I would also like to have the game finished sooner, but my goal is not to see the endings, but rather, to experience the whole adventure. And so far it is amazing. During these eight years of development lots of great content has been added that makes for many hours of play.

So no, it's not a "scam". There are many games that milk their patrons by constantly delaying the updates and releasing low amounts of content. But this game is not one of them.

I've been a patron of this game, 5 years ago. Since then almost no new content featuring main story has been released, especially involving Alexia and the twins. Some parts of Andras path is the exception. I've abandoned their patreon because it's doesn't make any sense to support devs in their development hell/milking the audience.
