I was really enjoying this and reached chapter 3 but I decided to for once choose druk. Unfortunately it crashed and I can't seem to be able to continue the game. Everytime I get to a certain point it says that an 'exception' has occured. Hopefully I can somehow get to playing it again.
edit:I was able to get a bit further but after a little it happened again. Is this because it's still in development or????
Hi! aspodfij this bug has been occurring off and on at seemingly random for a few people. I'm unsure what its origins are as it didn't come up during playtesting and doesn't seem to be consistent regarding when it occurs. People have been able to do a "quick fix," similar to yours, where if they reload and maybe do some different choices, the bug won't pop up again. Obviously, this is a bandaid fix, and I hope to be able to dedicate some time in the near future for a full fix.
Because full game development has started, it's difficult for me to open up the bandwidth at the current moment to investigate the bug in full. However, I'm hoping to spend some time looking into it this upcoming holiday season when I have more time on my plate. I'm so sorry this has been happening to you (and anyone else), and it's very frustrating to know it's persisted!!! We do have a bug submission form located at the bottom of the game page if you would be willing to enter some information there. Anything I can learn about the bug is appreciated as it could potentially help me narrow down its origins. Thank you for playing the demo, and again, I'm very sorry for the bug!
i made a itch account just to comment on this game; I LOVED IT, the world, the characters, the music, everything is so pretty and magical and and-- i'm so excited to see the final game
druk bugs alot, during the first dates his window glitches and sometimes leaves his 'portrait' there. Another time is when you get the option 'Listen to me/Talk to me' it only shows his eyes nose and eyebrows LOL.
when I got hit with the to be continued I wanted nothing more than to click on it until it broke and the game continued, i need this full game in my life the story is SO interesting and the characters are so so fun. Sobbing loudly I want to go to the dusk court PLEASE
Thank u 4 this amazing demo, i cant wait 4 the full game!
Yo! I'm so excited to see the final project once it arrives, take your time with it! I went both Kayns and Kuna'as route at the end, and was excitedly pumping my fists in the air, the game was amazing and the art was beautiful! Was talking with my friend on discord while playing it and have plenty of the great reactions you got from me, paranoia and PTSD were depicted very well! Kudos to the team for getting those accurate, it's nice to see my issues depicted in games without a bunch of cliches and the thoughts our character had after brought me some comfort.
Amazing work on everyone who contributed! Can't wait to see how this develops! <33
just finished the demo and honestly forgot it was just a short sneak peek into the game, so when the "to be continued" screen showed up, i was so sad! i really enjoyed the story and characters, both are really captivating to me and i can't wait to see the finished product!
Alaris has a lovely setting full of mystique and wonder. I was impressed with the beautiful score, intricate UI, as well as a strong use of animation. I also really like glossy coloring style used on the sprites - who are all gorgeous, by the way. Plus the night time shading on the sprites in night time scenes?! So cool.
The herbs personality system has been a lot of fun to tinker around with, and I've had a blast exploring the codex as well.
I'm not too far into the game just yet, but Etza is shaping up to be my favorite companion. >:) I LOVE the use of free time exploration, the ability to invite someone along is such a cool mechanic! Really enjoying it so far, and looking forward to more.~
Since I see everyone talk about it here, right after the beginning of ch.3 when i meet kayn it suddenly gives me the pop-up message "An exception has occured" or just some sort of error. I dont really mind taking another route but if this could be fixed that would be great! But so far I have been really interest with the plot and the characters, so good job!
Edit: I tried playing again with a couple of different choices, it worked perfectly fine
I absolutly love this game ! But in the beginning of chapter 3 (where we lookig for Etza and found Kayn), there's a message saying "An exception has occured" :( Idk if it's only on the kayn's route or if it's a global error
We have a Bug Report Form if you wouldn’t mind submitting a more detailed report there. So sorry for the error (where are all these random errors coming from q.q)
Hi! Yes, this specific error has to do with the sprites and seems to pop up in random areas of the story. In general, players that have experienced this issue have been telling me the issue is resolved when they make alternative choices. Because there’s not a clear pattern on why the error pops up and it’s hard for me to replicate it myself, it’s been hard to track down specifically what is causing this error.
For a short term solution, I would recommend changing up some of the choices you make in the game and seeing if that resolves the issue. This obviously isn’t an ideal solution, so I am working on the backend to try and track down the error and fix it on my end, but it’s hard to know how long that may take since the error is quite sporadic :’(
Again, there is a Bug Report Form if you wouldn’t mind submitting it there, since it is easier to keep track of the bugs through the form and also gain more information on why the bug pops up! Again, so sorry for the error that pops up - I’m doing my best to resolve it on my end <3
Hi! A couple people reported this bug for the previous build. Do you happen to be using build 3.0 or 3.1, as I (hopefully) fixed this bug in the most recent build. If you’re using build 3.1 and experiencing this issue, please feel free to email more details to me at studioscrescence@gmail.com so I can get a bit more insight as to what is causing the error to occur!
Hmm this game seems promising I hope I can play this on Android I think this a great game but I couldn't find any gameplay on yt but from the comments I think this is a great game
I had a lot of fun playing through the demo, and I'm excited for the full release! I love the characters and I really like the codex to help keep track of everything, and I'm excited to unravel the mystery. Awesome game!
Just left another comment in the devlog but I just thought of this question and figured to post it here -- How many chapters do you plan to have for the completed game? I see that the demo will cover through chapter 3, but couldn't seem to find the full game amount. Apologies if I missed it!
Hi! You didn’t miss it :) I haven’t posted an official number yet since I’ve been focused on just getting the full demo content out.
But the full game will have eight chapters for each character’s route. The chapters will each vary in length depending on the content being covered in that chapter, but I’m aiming for about 80,000 words for each characters route. So the final game will have an estimated 500,000 words worth of content, including what will be featured in the demo! I know that might be a lot to some people, and things are subject to change. But I think that’s how much I need so that each route feels like a complete story. Once I release the demo and am at a place where I can think about the full game properly, I can talk more about my thought process and vision. But for now, I hope that answers your question!
Hi! When you’re in the game, in the top right corner of the text box, there should be a couple of different words listed (e.g., Load, Stats, History, etc.). Each of these, when clicked, should allow you to execute the corresponding action.
The word “Save” should be in that area, and you should be able to access the Save Menu from there! Alternatively, Renpy (the software used to make the game) automatically assigns the Save Menu function to the right click on your mouse. So you can also right click to access the Save Menu and save the game! Let us know if you continue to experience issues/ need more explanation!
It's an interesting story! It's a bit hard to follow for me at least, but I'm really liking the characters so far! (^‿^) I love the stats feature, and I'm hoping to see more of the Kuna'a and Aisa! Though I do complain about MC being bashful alot. Other than that, I enjoyed it and hope for more chapters to come soon! ( ´ ω ` )
Damn it's a good story, but it forces me to stop playing it since I only play it with Joiplay(emulator that allows you to play PC games made with Renpy or RPG maker in Mobile phones) for some reason, pressing D and F on the keyboard provided by the app doesnt work... and i cant really progress... :( it's been good tho. I dont have a Pc so that's why im only playing this on my phone via joiplay..
Hello! Thank you so much for the kind words - so glad you are enjoying it :) I didn’t know this was an option for people, so I can try to upload an alternative version for you today so you can play the game and continue without using the dragon energy vision and still enjoy the story! I will post here when I’ve uploaded it to let you know.
Hello again! Just wanted to let you know I've uploaded another version. In this version, you will have the option to skip the dragon energy vision tutorial and just go straight back to the story. I think pressing D and F still won't work as a function for activating the dragon energy, but hopefully this way you can still enjoy the story :) Hope you enjoy, and let me know if you run into any issues!
Very nice game! The story and lore is so interesting and pulls you in, especially with the idea of utopia as compared to so many other stories set in dystopian post apocalypse worlds. The characters are diverse and my favorite is most definitely Fenir. The stats system is also stress free(atleast for now) the whole game has a very calm vibe especially with the music. The free time concept is also really fun and I thoroughly enjoyed going on a date with all of the available options. I didn't face any glitches throughout the game.
That being said, I did wonder about a few issues. The MC blushes SO. MUCH. The MC's character is also oddly contrasting at times. Like right after they were attacked(both times), they seem all calm and blushing. I mean for someone who just went through what most people would consider traumatic, they seem way too interested in the guys who rescued them rather than being worried about the attack. The MC comes off as more of a girly otome protagonist rather than a strong lead protagonist, despite pickings options at the start of the personality assessment that clearly contrast this. Hopefully, this can be fixed in the final version.
Anyways, I'm looking forward to see how the finished product turns out.
The MC had a relatively relatable personality in my opinion; she was a bit irritated at not being able to rest and although she was captured by their looks for a sec, she wasn't someone who just melted, I also had the option to push a love interest away when he(they?) got too close.
The guys are good looking so being lost in thought while looking at them for a moment is completely normal to me.
The worldbuilding with hints to our polluted world ( and DRAGONS) had captured my attention while the beauty of backgrounds had successfully kept it! And the possibility to build MC's personality is such a treat. For now they are such bashful and clumsy character, haha, wonder if and how they could change. Best of luck with further work, it certainly seems delightful!
Uwah! Really enjoying the game so far! The idea of a personality system and the free time is really cool! I'm super interested in what happens next too! Can't wait for future updates, looking forward to the finishing of this game! It's really cool so far!
Sorry to barge in here but I don't know any other way to contact developers directly.
I represent a group of translation students and we'd like to translate your game in French. If you're interested, would it be possible to speak privately? If you prefer to talk via Twitter, I'd be happy to exchange there.
We love your work and we'd be superhyped to work with you!
PS: as it's a student project, we'd do it for free.

I was really enjoying this and reached chapter 3 but I decided to for once choose druk. Unfortunately it crashed and I can't seem to be able to continue the game. Everytime I get to a certain point it says that an 'exception' has occured. Hopefully I can somehow get to playing it again.

druk bugs alot, during the first dates his window glitches and sometimes leaves his 'portrait' there. Another time is when you get the option 'Listen to me/Talk to me' it only shows his eyes nose and eyebrows LOL.
I clicked this at first thinking I saw Shikanoin Heizou, LOL. But that aside, I'm very excited for the final release of this game!
Love the artwork and I'm captivated by the demo's story so far! Good luck with the rest of the game, I can't wait to play it!
im a sucker for guys like Druk!
when I got hit with the to be continued I wanted nothing more than to click on it until it broke and the game continued, i need this full game in my life the story is SO interesting and the characters are so so fun. Sobbing loudly I want to go to the dusk court PLEASE
