Garou24 another great job with the update.
Qinara & MC's first meet flashback was well done, and that event with Raelynn & Maggie was nice.

And I quite dig Viviara as a character and her entrance revealed a lot about her characterization I think.

So, from left to right MC & main LIs;
Viviara, Qinara, MC, Kaela, ???

What is the name of the ??? LI?
From what I could see of her render in main menu, seems like she's either a.....pirate, or at least a sailor?

And characters like Elwyn, Isolde are gonna be side girls? Are there more side girls planned or are they it?

Ahhh..... I see.
Thanks for the info.
Meh, I guess I'll just leave that image as locked then.
Feeling too lazy to go all the way back to the beginning to unlock it (and I'm guessing there will be more of these with that path).

Would be nice if someone could have a gallery unlocker for the game, but if not, it is what it is (shrugs).

I guess event with Raelynn is one of these random encounters. Are we ever going to see these characters again or is it more of a one time thing? What's the significance of the question at the end? Does it automatically determine epilogue for this random event without further participation of mc?

Yes the Raelynn story was a random encounter. I was working on a couple more to try and release them all at the same time, but it was taking too long to develop, so I focused on finishing one. The others will get added over the next couple of releases. I have a list of them so the game will pick one you have not seen when a random event comes up once I have them all added. So everyone saw Raelynn's since it was the only one available to choose from. I have some small scenes written where you could meet them again and there are a couple of different possible outcomes. The encounter was a way to give more details about the current elf and human conflict and also a small intro for Viviara who can become a love interest later.

What does it mean by Branson playthrough?
Does it mean I have to load up a save file where Branson watches Caleb molest his sister in his castle, or something else?
Cause my canon playthrough has been Branson trying to save his sister.

Tbh, I don't really care about getting every single achievement, but I do want to see all the images in the gallery; and at the moment, it's just missing that one last image and kinda keen on getting that last image, heh.
For a Branson playthrough:

So we'll be able to choose which random encounter we get in the future?
That's quite refreshing, giving that freedom of choice, with each player possibly getting a different experience.

One thing I'd like to ask is, the game makes it a huge theme of the conflict between elves and humans, and other than those 2 races, there'se dwarves (as with having Damerek as a companion).
Will the MC's party encounter other races as we delve further and further into the story?
e.g. orcs, goblins, hobbits, gnomes, trolls, ogres, dragons etc etc (I'm no expert in fantasy genre, so I just brought up whatever race I could think of from popular pop culture media lol)

Yup, that is Varisha, she will come into the story a little later.
Can't say about the personality cause the character didn't appear in game yet, but in terms of pure character design (look and outfit worn), gotta say she may just be the favorite out of all 4 main LIs. :love:

And that whole belt and pistol, yuuuuuup. Give her a cutlass in addition and I'll totally believe her as a pirate. :KEK:

I played 0.3.1 and it is nice looking, pretty girls etc... but as the game is now, mostly just some story and eye candy. Must be hard to be a good looking MC that none of the ladies wants to have sex with. Maybe I missed something with one of the choices, but I did not go back and try anything else.

Story is ok, characters are ok, but I did not really get attached to anyone.

good luck
peace

I feel like I still got a decent amount of content to go just now leaving the Village. But I had to come and applaud you dev for one thing in this game so far. The way you make me hate the humans in this game and feel made for Qinara is done really good. Not sure if it's just cause of the format of this being a AVN or what but when I played Witcher 3 I never felt like any hatred towards the humans being racist again the non humans, like I do in this game so far.

Use your aggressive feelings boy, let the hate flow through you.

Finally got done playing this game. Only had a few nitpick things I didn't like but I did mention those in my review. This game is almost good enough to make it onto my top 10 probably will after a few more updates. I'm going to be getting this asap on steam when it comes out. I still need to finish the other path if you don't help the dwarf but might just save that for the steam release it would give me an excuse to replay it.

I hope we get to see more Raelynn later as of right now she is the only human I actually like. So far this game makes me hate every human we have came across because of how Qinara is treated. Even the barmaids.

Like I said in an earlier post the way this game handles racism towards elfs makes me feel for her more than any other game ive played before. Probably because we actually get to know her pretty well and any other game that ive played that had a similar topic wasn't a AVN so there wasn't so much character building to get to know and feel for the characters to this degree.

Also I have to give praise to Garou24 Qinara is easily in my top 10 List of most beautiful AVN girls out of the 90 or so ive played. Maybe I just have a thing for elfs I dont know. The other girls are almost as beautiful in their design and appearance.

I am glad you enjoyed the game and thanks for the review. The relic was something I went back and forth on when to introduce. I figured it was best to at least show the reader sooner rather than later since the sci-fi elements might be a deal breaker for some. As the story progresses, you and your character will slowly learn about the past and uncover more details that will explain more of that history. There will be the sci-fi elements, but the story, characters and environments will still mainly be in a fantasy/medieval setting.

You will have the opportunity to cross paths again with Raelynn and other supporting characters later in the game. Some of the choices you make will impact their story and I want you to see how things end for them.

Putting aside the fact that a relic from a "Silurian Hypothesis" world still works (assuming that's what it is of course, not left behind by aliens or some such), it won't remain an ultimate weapon for long as the guy will have no clue that it needs bullets/reloading nor how to do it.

In the same way that if a car was deposited in the middle ages where Newtonian physics and the internal combustion engine are completely beyond their ken, they wouldn't even know it needs fuel let alone what refined gasoline is.

To him it's just a magic stick, and he'll be in for a rude surprise when he tries to fire it for the 31st time.

I agree it is better for sure to show it early just kind of threw me off when it was a gun. I actually expected it to be some kind of magical sword or magical bow that doesn't need arrows at first. Honestly even tho I'm not the biggest fan of what the relic was so far it's too early to judge as well. I admit with how well done you have done with world building, characters and background / backstory so far. Because of that I have complete faith in you that I will like it when we get more updates and lore around the relic.
