Act I is Out!
Version 1.00 is finally out. It has been a long road, and there's plenty more to go with Act II on the way, but it is a big achievement, and as Sommy pointed out, I should make a big deal of it.
So, here is the tale of the tape to show just how much work went into finishing the game:
Words! According to the compiler, the game has just shy of three and a half million words. Some of that will be code, but I'd estimate at least 2.5 million words of fiction.
Sex! There are currently 315 scenes in the replay gallery, but some include multiple scenes, and some haven't been added yet, so I'd guess there are around 350 sex scenes in the game.
CGs! There are around 3000 in total, including variants. Based on how long I have been commissioning monthly CGs, I'd estimate that of those 3000, 600-650 are unique.
As you can see, it has been a gargantuan task. I believe it is the largest adult game of its type (Fen's might have more words, but no CGs, Roundscape might be close?), and I couldn't have done it without all the staff (especially Sommy, who was, of course, "just doing his job").
We still have a few things to finish before we can close the book on Act I completely (Goblins, Astarte, Fae), but you can now finish the game and carry your choices into Act II. If you have never played the game before, or you've been waiting to pick it up again, there's never been a better time.
And last but not least, thanks to everyone who supported, purchased, or spread the word about the game. Genuinely couldn't have done it without you, and I hope we've brought you a lot of enjoyment in return.

Where can I buy this, other than on Steam ? I'm from Germany
I remember playing the demo back in 2019 after seeing some artwork on another site, so happy that it’s finally finished!
Congratulations!
Nice, congrats. Can't wait til the steam upload
Congratulations to the entire team!
Congratulations! I just start playing around 3 months ago and what a journey! You are a role model for any creator! I bought the game through Steam, does any one knows how much time the complete version should take to get into Steam? Thanks and regards!
THX GOOD JOB :3
Can you release the full version on itch.io also.
Unlike most Games, this one has probably been the most consistent in terms of longevity. It's been nearly 10 years of development. Well done too Arioch and their team. Future games gonna reference this monster of a game for years to come.
MORE GAY MORE LES ,THANKS!
How about update on steam?
First VN and first patreon I ever started playing, and was my first introduction to the potential of VNs and "culture", all in one package :) Definitely looking forward to my act 1 playthrough after the well worth wait, many thanks to the team in general for sticking with it and commiting to the project for all these years :D I joined up around the time this project first opened, so I'm thrilled to finally see the act 1 culmination ^^
Congrats man
Will I be able to purchase a android version on your store?
Well, well, well.
Well done. 🎩
thank u for sticking with it. u had my attention from the beginning. well done!!!
Hell yeah! Congratulations!!!
Can't believe that after so many years, a second act is looming on the horizon. This is one of the most high quality adult games and I hope you'll be able to keep addong to this world with new games/chapters.
Awesome! Good work
wow，cheers
Great Work from a great group of artists, devs, writers, and, it's great. I, of course, got it on Steam to help support the cause. Congratulations!!
Huge achievement, well done.
Will new versions be available on Mac, or is it only coming to windows?
There's a mac build in the latest release post.
Congratulations, team!
Congratulations and onward to Act 2! Should we expect it on Steam during November or will it be in a later update?
It will be this month. Just giving it a few days to fix any reported bugs then I'll pass it onto the publisher.
I'd be glad if someone finally found a password to itch.io account
Update available on steam?
Sometime this month.
It would be nice if you would update GOG version of your game.
Honestly yeah, gog is my go to these days
Amazing work to the whole team. One of the few adult games my wife enjoys playing. Simple fact is it is one of the greatest games of its genre to come out. Can't wait to play through again and again.
Just curious, how does one share this hobby with a spouse?
