Major game update: new chapter (p.1)


Greetings! 

Excited to bring an update the game with the continuation of the adventure and numerous fixes and improvements.

In this update:

  • set out on a journey again, this time with no clear end in sight
  • act your way into traveling with the Daelan trio, on whatever terms
  • get assistance from the Gray Regent
  • spend an uncomfortable night
  • and maybe, just maybe, recall a fragment of your forgotten self...

Coming next:

  • settle into a nice inn
  • investigate a small town of Wyrm's Nest
  • get on the path of uncovering what plagues it, magical and human
  • for better or for worse, spend time with your new companions

Extra features, utility changes:

  • the settings menu now offers another font and a selection between the light theme (the prior default) and the all-new dark theme!
  • tidied codex page that does not look so crammed
  • starring Secrets that you can collect, discover and use to your benefit. This mechanic will replace Achievements because the two overlap a little too much for my taste, and Secrets make more sense to me narratively.
  • relationship stats page is now available
  • an alternative font, configurable in the settings
  • character stat screen now shows respective numerical values on the personality/mastery bars
  • small restructuring: former Chapter 1 is now a Prologue, and this update kicks off what is now known as Chapter 1
  • added a few more suggested dialogue choices to the prologue section
  • lots and lots of fixes everywhere

This update is about the size of all the previously released content, driving up the total to something upwards of 70k words.

My recommendation is to replay the game from the beginning as I did some work on the stats. In theory, it should not break your saves as the update guesstimates the missing variables, but for the most intentional result you should start from scratch.

Huge thanks to the fantastic people that tested the game, scoured it for errors and typos!!
