You increase workshop level by selling star metal to the smith, which you find in some caves as a minable resource. As for the magic shop, you obviously need to pay and the promise means that you need to dedicate the whole next day to doing only that. If you've already promised someone else you'll work (at the workshop for example) then you cannot make another promise until you're free.
Got it, thank you. Besides selling the star metal to the smith, can it be used anywhere else? Since I've just done Festival of Greed mission, I've collected about 4 of them. I was wondering should i save them for later use?

You could also sell it to usual merchants on much better price. Just without any improvement of workshop.
Each star metal sold also opens up the possibility of purchasing another level of weapon sharpening (or armour bonus at the other workshop).

TLDR; Sorry! Your copium supply is in another castle!

This is easily the most commonly occurring desired ending I see being asked about on this forum. The dev has never replied to the question and outright reject the possibility of it happening, so I'm only basing this on the game as it currently exists. Unfortunately for those asking, there's not a lot of room to slip that sort of ending into the game anywhere. It would require a pretty massive rework of existing content.

The only "girl on girl" scene doesn't indicate that either Aura or Alicia has any interest in lesbian activities. Uncorrupted Aura is in a long term heterosexual relationship. The majority of the corrupting forces Aura encounters specifically push her towards preferences of more masculine individuals or things like craving semen. In most of the 3+ person sexual encounters the females are focusing on competing for the affections of the males involved, and rarely are the ladies doing much with each other.

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
As a side note, thinking about what Roya changes would be needed resulted in me noticing something about the upcoming 1.1 release I hadn't thought about before. Now I'm even more impatient for the update to come out so I can see how it's handled.

For a tiny bit of Life is Strange pondering I offer the following. I only ever played the first game, and I played it through in one long sitting, so I probably didn't come close to 100% completion of it. I vaguely remember romancing Chloe being optional. If I'm remembering correctly then my money would be on the devs trying to prune out as many of the earlier games' decisions as they could to simplify the new game's story. If I'm misremembering then I've got no idea why they decided to break them up.
This is a good niche untapped market here.. as long as those who ask can pay and cough up money, though...

Anyway, thanks for your detailed information! It's helpful to make a decision that there will be never any lesbian activities/ending in this game. The art is gorgeous and the story is good. However, the cover art/title is misleading though it might be put there to put an illusion there is at least something between two, but no.

For any corruption game, this is unfortunate, though. But, that's the dev decision to do whatever s/he wants with the game :).

The cover art is two images of Aura, so I don't see how it would mislead anybody about her and Alicia. Also, for the record, I noticed I'd meant to type "replied to the question to outright reject" but instead wrote "replied to the question and outright reject" which made the sentence contradictory nonsense. Best of luck finding something more your tastes.

Under «Old Download», you'll find the latest stable release available here (1.0.6); the game is now actually at 1.0.8, but no-one has shared that version here.

In addition to version 1.0.x (stable), where the «x» corresponds to minor changes, tweaks and bugfixes, the dev team is working on the next major update, which will be 1.1.0; that one is not ready yet.

The way the dev works is that, on his way to the next major update, he releases quasi-weekly «prerelease» iterations to his patreons and beta testers: there prereleases are usually NOT shared here, but as you point out yourself, prerelease 14 is currently found on the OP. Usually, prereleases introduce new mechanics that will eventually find their way into the next planned major release but that may yet be insufficiently tested, they may lack some planned cg's, they may introduce a new bad end that isn't completely written yet, etc.

So you download the version you want, knowing that a new version will soon come out.

1.1.0 pre 14 has been just leaked today and the title simply hasn't been updated yet.

1.1.0 pre 14 is the more recent version, but as the last poster said, 1.0.6 is the latest stable leaked release.

Oh I see, thank you for the detailed explanation. For now I went with pre 14 just because is the latest version, despite being a "test" medium. Imo your comment should be put in the OP as it will remove the confusion I had for many.

Oh and another thing that I find confusing, now even more is, why is the game marked as completed if there are constant updates, new additions to the game, etc?

The game is completed: Aura can either defeat evil Richard, or lose to him. (Good and Bad ending)

The dev has always said that he wanted to bring his story to conclusion in a reasonable time, and not drag it indefinitely, and that's what he released at 1.0.0.

But he also always promised that some side quests would eventually get fleshed out, and that one day he would add enough to get to version 2.0.

Game is complete: there's a beginning, and an end.
Game is still being worked on: more and more features will keep being added, which will improve your experience, but not change the journey to the end

Got it. Now that I know this, is not as confusing anymore. Thanks once again for the detailed answers.

is out. If you bought the game on steam, you can access the content from the beta branch. (See #steam-beta channel in the Discord for instructions) Keep in mind the adult patch needs to be reinstalled but for version 1.1.0-beta. I have created a separate page for it (Password is: beta) so that regular players searching for the patch needed for the stable version on steam don't get confused.
