I'm writting as a play and my goodness this game is itching my brain in an amazing way. The art design / musics / assets it all looks so incredible the ambiance is magnificent I love it.
the story really has a hold on me and I'm extremmely curious where this is all going ( bonus point it's very nice to be able to get reminder of lore with important terms ).
Indeed!! The little outings with Fen was the best. He is so gosh darn cute. Thank you for releasing this! I am pleased to have had the chance to enjoy such a lovely demo!
ahaha it’s so crazy to see comments like this compared to the og demo release when it was a little quieter around here! thank you so much and i hope you enjoy the enhanced version! <3
I love this game, the cgs are so cute and i'm enchanted by the plot, i've been looking foward to play the complete game for some months now, you guys did a great job!!!
hi! the demo isn’t currently available as it’s going through a Big Rehaul <3 i’m hoping to have it out in about a month, so please feel free to check back then or check my monthly devlogs for updates ^^ thank you so much for the interest!
I've played the demo over and over and I love all the storylines so far! I love this game, the art and story are both amazing! I'm usually not a big fan of visual novels but this one really kept me entertained.
I had a question, I always look back to see if anything has been added to the game (on Steam), and I'd love for it to be continued. I just wanted to ask if you were continuing to work on the game or if its been 'abandoned' for other projects.
With that out of the way I hope everyone has a lovely day! <3
hi!! thank you so much for enjoying the game ahh. it makes me really happy to know you like it as much as you do <3 the game is very much still being worked on. while i’ve released/helped to release other games this year, alaris has consistently been my main focus. because the game is so big, development for it takes a bit of time, especially compared to the other shorter games i’ve released. but if you’d ever like to keep up with the progress of the game, i release monthly devlogs updating people on production ((should be linked on the itch game page)) ^^
I played the demo recently and i love it <3 the history, the characters and the art are amazing. I admire your work, I became aware of the existence of this demo after having played Intertwine, which is one of my favorite visual novels.
With this said I hope the whole team have a nice day <3
I just wanted to let you know how much I love this game! I've been playing it religiously since my first route, and I adore all of the characters so much!
My favourite by far is Etza, he's got such a charming personality!
Keep up the good work, this game is amazing and I can't tell you how excited I am for the next update, whenever that may be! <3
i recently played intertwine so i decided to play this and ITS SO GOOD?? honestly one of the best vns i've played even tho it's only a demo 😭 i love fenir so much
AHHH you don't even know how much this means to me!!! i'd gotten into the habit of not answering comments here for some reason, but i had to respond to this one because i wanted to let you know how much i needed it ;_; i was feeling pretty self conscious of alaris after intertwine's release, partly because the current build is outdated and partly because it's quite different from intertwine. so it means a lot that you played both and still really enjoyed alaris!!! thank you so much <3 ((and yes fenir is a cutie!))
The toggle for dragon energy is cool. I was gazing into the eyes of Fenir for sure by the end of it being like, I want to kiss you. And the need of the Fae really draws me to Kaan'a route as well. Even though I was all in on Fenir, the fact that MC has said they'd help anyone brought me to Kuan'as route first. When an LI needs me to save their world, so hard to turn those puppy eyes down. Definite buy for me when it releases.
Just started playing, loving the story so far. I noticed something you may want to alter in future updates. In the scene where you meet Kayn and Druk the sprite arrangement makes Druk look like he is the same height or shorter than Kayn. You may want to raise the height (Y position) at which Druk's sprite is displayed, or if needed make other characters lower so that they appear shorter in the frame.
I don't know if the sprite images are all drawn/saved to the same dimensions, but how tall everyone visually is on screen is something to watch out for and adjust in coding. Its not that big of a deal, just one of those continuity things to consider.
ahhhhhhhhhh i rlly loved the game so much! i rlly didnt think it was a demo till i saw the to be continued screen and i was like noooooooooooooo. can't wait to see the future updates!~ also, one question. so the LIs have VAs right? does that mean it's going to be fully voiced or just the title screen. because i only hear any voicelines when i load up the game, which also scared me when i first loaded it up cause i did NOT expect that
hhhh omg this was so good, i didn't even realize it was a demo until the "to be continued" screen showed up. was soo confused because it didn't feel like a demo in the way it was so well written and, and how the plot really pulled you in. easily spent two hours playing this game and i didn't even realize how much time had passed.
such a good game, and i love how well written and distinct all of the LI's are <33
hi there! in playing the game I have come across an error in the game :). At the beginning of chapter 3, I meet Kayn however as you progress the conversation a traceback log says a variable (NonType) is missing the attribute 'style'.
here is the error I received below, thanks!
[code]
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.
While running game code:
File "game/sprites.rpy", line 18, in render
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'style'
-- Full Traceback ------------------------------------------------------------
Hey! I just had the same problem and sort of found a 'solution' to it. When it appears just press ignore really fast and many times and it should eventually go. However it ends up appearing like every 30-60 sec again, that's the only problem -_- So you'll have to do it multiple times. But ey, as long as you get to play the game right? Hahahah
Never mind, it doesn't come back that fast. You just have to go slow and take your time. Don't skip and don't read the lines too fast, basically just go slow. Like that it will take several minutes to come back
Hello !! I truly love this game and cant wait for more updates <3
i do have a question tho lolz, ive gotten all the cgs except Etzas first pic and i wonder if u could possibly tell me around where in the game it is ? so that i maybe dont have to start from the beginning <33
Hello! If you're referring to Etza's individual CG, that would be in Chapter 2. Rather than going with Druk in the beginning, if you go with Etza, you will see their CG :)
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.~

Hey! I just had the same problem and sort of found a 'solution' to it. When it appears just press ignore really fast and many times and it should eventually go. However it ends up appearing like every 30-60 sec again, that's the only problem -_- So you'll have to do it multiple times. But ey, as long as you get to play the game right? Hahahah
I really hope it works for you too!
Never mind, it doesn't come back that fast. You just have to go slow and take your time. Don't skip and don't read the lines too fast, basically just go slow. Like that it will take several minutes to come back
druk my beloved.
i just need to know. very important question. are his horns sensitive
lololol I was curious about that too.
Hello !! I truly love this game and cant wait for more updates <3
i do have a question tho lolz, ive gotten all the cgs except Etzas first pic and i wonder if u could possibly tell me around where in the game it is ? so that i maybe dont have to start from the beginning <33
Hello! If you're referring to Etza's individual CG, that would be in Chapter 2. Rather than going with Druk in the beginning, if you go with Etza, you will see their CG :)
Fenir is so adorable!! I can't wait for the full game, Also great job on the art!!! (:
Fenrir and Kunaa are both so mysterious i can't wait for the full game!
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.

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
oh and kuna'a stole my heart i love them
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
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!

Amazing work on everyone who contributed! Can't wait to see how this develops! <33
Help I'm playing on PC and with the PC version too but it straight away just crashed on me (｡ﾉω＼｡)
Yeah this happened for me too...does anyone know how to fix this?
I wish you could customize your character as well. everything else is okay so far. i like kuna'a hopefully he isn't a bad guy
great story great music great characters!! I am in love with Fenir ;) Can't wait to see the full game!
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!
