itch.io

Those are the two main branches; there's a ton of variation within them. The House Varro feast in-particular from Chapter 3.32 currently has a few alternative endings (escape) that could lead to their own routes pending player feedback.

So I encourage everyone to join the Discord and let me know your favorite characters/routes/builds so far. Cheers~

I encourage you to play constantly.
Forever and ever. It's all available.

The main divergence is whether you catch the thief in Chapter 1 or not.

There are 2 main routes.

It sounds like you played the Highrock/Academy branch, when the latest update is aimed at the Gladiator/Ludus branch.

When it comes to the public build, there's no difference between playing it in your browser vs. downloading it.

It'll never be complete without you.

Great comment, I appreciate that.

A year or two ago, I would've never imagined a 60k word update in a month, let alone 2 weeks. This is the result of obsessing over the story and consistently spending 10, 11, 12 hours a day working on it.

I've rushed out chapters before that I wasn't that proud of.

Chapter 3.31? - Yes, I'm very happy with it. The ludus is a lot of fun and I think it's shaping up great.

That last choice ("You feel drawn...") shouldn't be available until you've exhausted all other options. So you must have triggered one of the other events twice, maybe by using the "back" arrow to reverse choices?

Perhaps I'll need to figure out a more durable way to code that section to prevent this.

EDIT: As of Chapter 3.31, this should be fixed.

"Greak"

Truly not a typo, but a NEW word, crafted by yours truly.

The child of 'great' and 'Greek'. One can easily deduce the meaning from here.

(Alright, thanks man. I'll probably fix it. 😄)

This and a bunch of other bugs have been fixed in the latest update. Enjoy! Or y'know... suffer. Forever.

Just saw this. I've been wondering why my latest updates have been getting zero exposure on itch...

I've turned payments off for Orphan. please reindex!

Plz and thank you, leafo @ friends. 

I was abducted by a succubus and couldn't work on Orphan for a while. True story. I hope everyone can forgive me.

The newest update is inspired by this harrowing event.

You'll get your update when I'm finished playing with him.

We need more games like this. Who doesn't want to conquer the world?

This is one of my favorite approaches to dark fantasy.
