Dear Tlaero in an answer to 'Alway Absent' about 2 weeks ago you mentioned: "There are 10 major paths through the story, and 9 of them give you an achievement at the end. ..." I've explored the game in the past days but I only found 9 endings: - the ending of the "canon" path - yesss!!! - the ending where Chloe ends up somewhere in asia - the two runaway endings (after the event with Charles at the apartment and after stopping Crow to murder Chloe at the chateau aka the "hero" ending) - the ending with Chloe and Serena - both Serena endings (after the event at the office and after the event at her apartment) - both Xara endings (after the "lunch" with Miranda and Lucas and after the workout at the dojo at night) I also found multiple gameover endings which I don't count as real endings. Now I wonder which ending do I miss? Greets Homi
I consider the 10 endings to be the 9 achievements and the one where Chloe kills you. --Tlaero
By the way, if you speak Spanish, I just uploaded a new version of SC with a Spanish Translation. --Tlaero
After thinking about it for a few days I realized how Chloe suffers from similar problems as other girls did. Elsa was hiding from the world in her bookstore and needed Jason to help her come out and eventually fulfill her destiny as a Dream Master. Chloe is hiding from her father and needs Paul to find strength to come out and face her family. Jessika needed someone who was not interested in her only for sex but was ready to support her and be there for her when she needed it most. Chloe desperately needs someone like that as well. And finally, both Miranda and Chloe are broken. They were broken at different times, for different reasons, in different ways, but broken by the same man. They need someone who will help them to mend their broken hearts and minds. Chloe had to face all these issues alone for a long time, do unspeakable things, endure torture yet she somehow managed to keep her sanity and even found courage to fight back. This shows that Chloe is not only the main character of this whole story arc but perhaps the strongest character of all.
You're absolutely right, LT. Great analysis. --Tlaero
Great as always. You guys are some of the best AIF writers in the Biz. This really makes me want to go replay all the others and see the story 'in total' so to speak. My only complaint was that Bonus scene which I...really didn't like. As a matter of personal preference, I'd rather you didn't make decisions 'on our behalf' so to speak. Because if I had been playing Lucas at the time I wouldn't have been comfortable with Miranda going into that dream...
Absolutely fantastic! I loved all the parts of the series and you have really outdone yourself with "Saving Chloe" (who has always been my favourite). The canon ending wraps up the story very satisfyingly (although I would have liked Miranda and Chloe to reconcile more "intimately" :-) ), but the Serena/Chloe ending is probably the most erotic sequence I have ever played (and I have played many... ;-) )! THANK YOU!
Man, now I want closure for Serena because her love for Paul goes unrequited in the canon ending.
I agree. Her story winds up being kinda depressing...
D: Final episode? nooo! loved the hell out of this series, will be sad to see no more content for it, though.
Who said this??? If you read the text on the endpages of one of the side paths there Tlaero gives a hint that further games assume that you have solved the game on the "canon" path. For me this means they are planning further games in the Elsa-verse. Or am I wrong?
Hat's off to you both. Your best game yet; the bonus scene will be hard to outdo. Speaking of path, I got Serena as my first alternate ending, canon was second,but second chance was my last, and I hard quite a hard time to figure it out. Already starting to drool over thinking what's your next storyline will be, grrls on bike? (that would entail playing multiple men likely); Xara?; Christine-verse ?. Decisions, decisions. The one tough thing is you're spoiling us and we're fully expecting you both to reach at least the same level. Spoiling us I say.
I just started exploring this new story and it is already the best I ever seem! Congratulations for the excelent job!
NVM! Found the hidden path... God I love the work you guys put into these games. I have to say that your minds are labyrinths!
OMG! I love this game series but this thing is driving me NUTS! I've spent 6 hours straight trying to get the "four" and the "martial arts" achievements but I'm missing something. Is there a hidden button on one of the continue pages or something because I've even mapped the choices out on paper and nothing seems to lead to those endings. Can you give me a hint?
Look for a yellow frame around the image on pages where you also have the possibility to select from some provided text options. Also there are sometimes more then one hot spot in the images.
wonderful story and beautiful visual, great work. You can do Star Wars IX it will be better ;-)
One thing that's really struck me about this game is how it's going to effect my replaying of the older ones: I don't think I can revisit the other Chloe sex scenes. Having learned how the character ended up in those situations and seeing the how that's affected her, I think it'll be uncomfortable to try and enjoy those scenes again. However, that is less a "complaint" than it is a ringing endorsement of the fantastic writing that Tlaero has done in this game and the stunning facial expression art that Mortze has provided. There are several heart-wrenching moments, not just for Chloe but for everyone. ALL the female characters are fully-formed people. No easy feat - especially given that "erotic games" are not often known for their characterization.
What a great game. It is very poignant just like Redemption for Jessika in the way it caters to the desire to save from woe those we love. In that sense, it is very much a tie with RfJ for first place in my book. Just a great game; I like eroticism as much as the next guy, but I would play and probably enjoy a PG rated version of this game. 10/10. Or 9/9 as the case may be.
So I got the cannon ending with one sex scene on playthrough 1. I enjoyed the story, but having only got one achievment I really do feel like I missed a whole lot of stuff. In some ways that's why i liked the old points system. Not enough points means game over, but I felt like I had a bit more idea how to get the other outcomes. I figure work/Chloe is a choice (non spoiler its right at the start). Truth/ lie is another. Have a vague idea of another which is a bit spoilery. It feels kind of odd to have got the cannon ending but feel like i missed 2 thirds of the scenes story.
There are 10 major paths through the story, and 9 of them give you an achievement at the end. No matter how you played the first time, you could have only gotten one achievement. Incidentally, the reason the 10th path doesn't give an achievement is that it's a "bad" path and I didn't want to force anyone to play the "bad" path to see the bonus. I got that feedback on an earlier game and it really struck a chord with me. So, play the bad path if you'd like--I enjoy the writing in it--but there's no actual "need" to do it... --Tlaero
I just finished all the paths and the bonus scene, and I have no words for this incredible game (novel?). Great great job, both of you! I was wondering about the bonus, cos I read here it was steamy and a number of adjectives... But the actual idea is fantastic. I could never imagine that. I hope you have a big bunch of new patrons, you deserve it. I want to remark the awesome branching and diversity of versions of the same story... I think I (and many people here) are so so addicted to our known Elsaverse, it will be hard to make room for new characters. Only one comment about agency: In the rest of the games, in my opinion, we had to behave as the character, who wants to seduce/love the female hero, and we have to "be" the character, adapt ourselves to him and live his life and his story. And I love it. On the other hand, in SC, Paul adapts himself to us, so I feel he is more plain than Lucas, Marc or Jason. I don't feel so strongly he has his own story. This is only my opinion, to let you know about this side of your players :) Nice job, and thank you again. PS. Mortze... You are amazing, for the sake of francesinha :D
Congratulations you two. Amazing conclusion to an incredible series. I will freely admit I was approaching this one tentatively because I really disliked Chloe after FM but she proved to be every bit as deep and enchanting as the other Angels and nothing like the monster I had made her in my head. Enjoy your much deserved break. I can't wait to see what you have planned next.
I think I found one problem - that bonus scene was so hot it will be difficult to top that in the future
I have decided to go for patience, and am taking a path per day. It spreads out the fun and expectations. It also lets me appreciate the plot development. So far, you have done a great job writing your vision, Tlaero. Of course Mortze's art is superb as usual.
Last night I finished all endings and seen the bonus scene. You have done a great job, I really loved all the different outcomes either saving Chloe, or not. This Elsa verse game answers several questions, and provides a few more pieces of the puzzle. I think that Paul is a lucky guy, with the different ending he ended up with different girls ;) I was curious about Theresa, will we see more of her in a future game? Maybe the story of how she was recruted to the angels?
Thank you for all of the kind words, folks. I'm glad you're enjoying the game. BTW Theresa was recruited into the angels in the after the credits scene in RfJ... --Tlaero
I finaly had the time to sit down and play through the game a few times. I have to say you guys have outdone yourselves once again. I am loving every part of this game. The multi path game style is something i realy enjoy :D Still need 2 achivements for the bonus scene. Sad and satisfying to finaly be done with this part of the elsa verse. But axcited (and hoping) to see what comes next from the best game team :D Keep up the good work! Sincerely a proud supporter :)
Congratulations guys on putting out another fantastic game!
Possible typo found: on the first conversation screen (when Chloe opens the window) in the 2nd option he calls her "Chole". Or is that a nickname?
I wish I could claim that was a nickname. It would excuse all the places I made that mistake. (-: I've uploaded a new version that fixes those typos as well as a bug that made it a bit easier to get the "Three" achievement than was intended. --Tlaero
Managed to get all achievements and reached the bonus scene.. Really thank you for all the hard works and really look forward for new game but please make sure you guys have a good rest as you guys really deserved it!!
It's amazing. I cannot believe how good it is. It also makes me sad, knowing this is the last part of the story. Can't you keep it going... I don't know, forever?
That was amazing. This has to be my favorite since Jessika. Chloe is still not my favorite lady from the Elsaverse, but this game certainly is. Once again, you have brought us a beautiful story. One that made me care, that drove me to find that canon path. Each ending felt like a logical extension of the story decisions that were presented, to the point where I usually didn't realize I was off-canon until pretty far in. More importantly, I never cared that I was off-canon, only that I was following my current path through to an actual ending. Thank you for once again putting together a top-notch piece of fiction. I look forward to seeing what you do next. And to probably replaying through all four games again.
A good story. Thank you!
"Interdictor"... thats a Star Wars EU reference. I see what you did there Mortze.
That was me, not Mortze. --Tlaero
Tremendous work all around. Well worth the wait and I can't wait to play it again. And again....
Initially I played your games because of the intense sexual scenes. By now I am just totally overwhelmed by the story you are artfully staging - in fact I am so deeply torn apart emotionally, that I cannot continue playing. Thank you for all this dedication you invest into your game(s). I am very proud to be supporting you.
the story is awesome and the game mechanics really great
If someone can help get the second chances and planless achievements?
For second chance you must go at work first, after that you must take pistol from Chloe, and then choose to call you coworker instead of calling Miranda. If you found how to do planless achievement can you tell me how to do?
The story is amazing.
It was a long wait but final product is excellent. You are getting better with every new game, every short story, every picture. Your projects are clearly a labor of love made by passionate people, a proof that you don’t need millions of dollars or huge teams to create good games. My career as a gamer is long but I can honestly say that your games belong to my favourites. So enjoy your success, take a few days off and good luck with whatever you decide to do next.
Just spotted the picture of the Svartiisen glacier in Paul`s Bedroom...been there 2 years ago...simply stunning. Thanks for the game, it`s fantastic.
This game is absolutely fantastic, and shows an enormous amount of growth in you both as artists. The artwork is stunning, and for the first time in adult gaming, it actually looks realistic. Like, most games I feel try to emulate porn, both in model design and sex scene actions. You seem to emulate ACTUAL sex, which is just incredible, and creates a suspension of disbelief I've never had in this type of game. So many of the sex scenes just cause me to stop and stare, the images are just incredible and striking. And as for the story, it threads a fine needle between being lacking and over-burdensome, and I really enjoy it. It actually made me want to go back and replay your other games because I have a renewed interest in the story. Particularly the "fantasy, other worldly" part of the story, which I never cared about before, and actually turned me off of these games originally. I was guilty of skipping to the juicy bits, It just wasn't my thing. But this game made it my thing, and now I want to re-examine the games before it. 10/10 excellent work, you raised the bar for other game makers with this one.
Game is awesome - no bugs, a lot of paths to explore, great canon story and steamy bonus scene! Money well spend indeed!
Just finished the canon path. Thank you for this game. I though Chloe was damn cute the first time I saw her so for me this game was close to perfect!
In "Paths and Agency" you said, and I quote, "Future stories in the Elsa-verse will assume that the canon path is what happened". Now you're saying this will be the final installment in the Elsa-verse series. Is this an account of "series vs. serial" (Dr. Who style) meaning that there will be other series set in this universe or this will be the last chapter that will wrap up the whole story? Another question that keep buzzing around my mind, are the Elsa-verse games and Pandora set in the same universe? The two series seems very compatible (overarching story-wise) to me. Sorry if you've already answered this question before or in the game (I've yet to play it), I'm a new fan and I'm *loving* your games!
It is so awesome, thanks for the game..
Congratulations on finishing the game and thanks!
"fourth and final"? :'(
Just finished the canon path. I can't thank you guys enough for the story that you have brought here. I enjoyed the Elsaverse from the beginning and fell in love with it at RfJ but this was an absolutely amazing finale to the arc.
Thanks a lot you two. I just finished the path "three" and I stay on the ass. I really like the subtlety of dialogues and the quality of the graphics. Hat low, it was not at all obvious to make the situation credible and sensual without falling into excess. Wonderful ! Quite discussed ... I'm going back to the game...
How could any hetero male walk into a room to be confronted with Xara, Miranda, Elsa, Jessica and Theresa in workout gear and not be completely distracted?
Wow this is an amazing game ! Great job !
Found several paths. Love this game!!!!
Are you guys going to release an online version?
I've uploaded it to newgrounds. It's still under review, but you should be able to get to it here: <a href="https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/704668" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/704668</a> --Tlaero
Congratulations on the conclusion of a long effort. Take a break now, and enjoy the accolades of those of us that now have the pleasure of appreciating your hard work.
Couldn't resist the Serena path. Great, as usual!
Congratulations to the both of you!
That's fantastic! I can't wait to start playing it tonight!
Is this the public release or just to patrons? In other words, can I post a link back to your download?
It's public, JFR. Feel free to post links to the download. --Tlaero
