Im curious to know what the archetypes mean? Are there only two archetypes? Or more? That aside I'm so glad of how the new update turned out, every character felt so real and fleshed out. I didn't expect to cry at the ending (and got surprised by the cliffhanger) and I'm a sucker for angst and this game gave me the right mix of comedy, romance, drama, while also navigating my dragon commanders feelings towards her past while dealing with the present and worrying about the future. Kudos to you for giving us such a great game, we can see how much time and effort you have put in this and hope more people will know more about this game

how do to get an option to go with mandra?

Hi! If you mean in the scene at the gazebo, you can only go with them if you're playing as a The Seeker or The Destroyer archetype. :) You can check your archetype in the menu >> extras; it appears under your DC's name.

(Sorry for my english, but I try my best!)  Its really fantastic that evry time I reread the story i discover something new for myself. It is truly very deep and meaningful story that even while changing, a person can find something for themselves in its lines and its characters every time. (I can't stop collecting quotes in my head). Every update I try to recreate my Commander to whom I'm so attached and with whom I could be most comfortable to make progress on the story and every time I unintentionally have a new Commander with different personality. But every time they are more than enough to make a great impression and touch just right  strings of my soul omg. (It says something that when I was younger, say 2022, the Commander was more timid and forgiving and now they strongly defend their boundaries lol) So, what i hope to convey is that this story have a place for every Commander and as it goes, for every me as a reader through years and it makes me immensely happy.

Unbelievably good. Almost bawled my eyes out because of how the story progressed. I also love how every character in this story, even the passing nobles and servants, can drag a genuine anger or fondness out of me. It is beautiful in every way. Thank you for the new update, best of luck for you while you craft the rest of the story!

There's something so soft and real about this game that I struggle to put into words. Playing "Story" in Ch.3 really highlighted it for me.

As vaguely as I can say without spoilers: no matter how heavy and complicated things get, that there's still optimism is just... really nice. I cried for maybe 20 minutes after that, then played through it a second time to see other ways the story comes together, and cried more.

Can't wait to see what comes next.

Oooooh, I came back to this game after such a long time and it got even better! As previously, I adore the art and aesthetics, but also, I want to express my utter joy on how fleshed-out all the secondary characters are! (Crying as a player because I have a big fat crush on Mandra... but I cannot let my poor Commander ditch Matt, they are a set, do not separate!)
Spent a large chunk of my day off playing and had a blast, thank you so much for sharing it!!
I have seen that the Commander's face position changes depending on the personality, but how many archetypes are there? (Do you have a fav one?) Ngl, I felt happy when my Commander raised their head proudly. Like, good for them. (sorry if my message is chaotic; I am not the best at writing reviews, but I won't let the lack of eloquence stop me from praising your game)

BACK TO REPLAY THIS, MY CAT HAS YET TO APPROVE OF THE GAME AGAIN

Edit: Did the entire thing, loved it even MORE than before, I am feelin' INSPIRED right now, AUGH IT IS CRUEL TO LEAVE US OFF ON THAT CLIFFHANGER (technically?)

I haven't gone through it all again yet, but I did notice the customization option!
Which has a glitch(?), if I save during it, then reload it, it changes from this (first image) to this? (last image)

Other than that, I must explore everything before coming to a proper conclusion, and also show this to my dog for his judgement (I got a little Rottweiler in between my last review and this one, the guys a BIG DOG now)



Yaay, I'm so, so glad you liked it ♥♥♥ I hope your cat and your dog will approve of it too hehe :)) 
The second image is the default pose for the Destroyer archetype, while the first is for the Seeker archetype and also the default pose when you open the customization screen for the first time. Are you playing a Destroyer MC? If not, I'll take a look to make sure that the saving + loading aren't messing with the code somehow. Either way, thank you for pointing that out! :))

Pets approved of it, keep it going!! (At the cost of fur between my keys)

But no, it just happens when I save while having the Seeker mc screen during the customization, then reload it anytime during the game or when on the main menu for some reason? I noticed this when I first opened the game, saved on the customization screen (for whatever reason, do not question me) then reloaded it and saw the Destroyer mc for some reason? ('Destroyer' was also under the Dragon commander title, if that helps!)

hahah ♥ Oooh, I see! It really helps, thanks! :))) I'll take a look ♥♥♥

There are so many things I enjoyed about this, things that had me yelling at the screen like I was at a football game. It had everything I wanted to read about a knight x king situation, including the inherent longing. I, personally, enjoyed making him kind(er) (something I don't often see with male protagonists) and my protagonist as burned as possible (for the DRAMA). They made choices I wouldn't have, like doing [redacted] but I still loved watching them face the consequences. I also loved the siblings. Both of them. So much.

Oh wait, is it completely done now?

  • What's your favorite character?

R: depois de muito pensar, acho que posso dizer que MC, gosto do Mathias e tb de Mand, mas acho que a forma como podemos direcionar a historia, MC seria minha resposta.

  • Did you try the different options, or did you follow only one path?

R: fiz uma só rota, mas pelo meio do caminho quando tinha outra decisão, eu salvava pra jogar aquela opção e dps voltava a minha original

  • What do you think of the black and white aesthetic?

R: gosto muito, mas tem vezes em que o fundo é claro demais e doi a vista

  • Is there anything about the world of Five Kingdoms you'd like to know more about while playing?

R: como não houve uma revolta, mas ainda estou no ch03, of whispers and awakenings, entao nao sei se vai ter futuramente

I really genuinely love this game so much, and I love how well you can tailor things to make your own commander. It's an amazing game <3

(+17)

i love this way too much. it literally breathes life into me. been playing this game since i was 16 and im 19 rn and this game still settles my heart and makes me feel like a new me. i always play it as a reward after my examinations. i love the atmosphere in it, the feelings every character invokes in me, the music, everything is so lovely and touches me deeply. i always dedicate full nights to it, where i pull all nighters so that no disturbance is possible lmao. i love mathias, i love the queen, i love mel, i love mandra, curio, i love esma, i love helen and i have a feeling we'll get along fine with kastian, since we both love mel and want her safety. several times, i was brought to tears because of this game, throughout the years too lmao. i love this i love this i love this. thank you sm author i love u sm. creating literal art, im seriously in tears this is so beautiful

Just finished the demo and this is one of my favorite games on itcho i've played. I loved the art style. Amazing job and I look forward to the finished game and updates!!!

(+1)

Pls make it available for android 🙏🏻🙏🏻

(+2)

I'll work on the app version after ch04 is ready! ^^ 

(+2)

I'm waaaaaay too invested in this and I want more!

Cara ficou incrível, direção de arte está ótima, e a escrita é praticamente perfeita, o mesmo vale pela escolha da trilha sonora, tudo combina perfeitamente, espero que todos envolvidos no projeto estejam orgulhosos, ficou lindo

Aaaaa muitooo obrigada! ♥♥♥ Fico sempre mega feliz de ver BR por aqui, muito obrigada por jogar e por deixar esse comentário lindo *-* ♥ Eu trabalho em LtGBtK sozinha (a Ursa em Percurso é uma dev de 1 mulher só auhsiuaehuh) então seu comentário fica ainda mais especial. ♥ Espero q vc goste dos próximos capítulos!

Ohh, this was amazing. <3 Does someone know what the paths are? Initially, I played a sarcastic type of character, then a really sweet and insecure one and then a hardass that was obsessed with discipline.

I really love the writing! I was super immersed and invested in the attention to detail. I really, really love the amount of effort going into the choices feeling consistent and varied. I really love how the lore and the world building builds on top of each other without breaking the flow of the narrative. I absolutely love the grayscale coloring as well, my eyes were practically dancing over the designs in the background and characters. It's awesome.

ngl matt be funky flustered mess and then something happens and the only clear thought in my head is 'daddy is daddying' LIKE WHEN WE YELLED AND HE MADE US KNEEL after the nightmare??????????? DAYMN. 

anyways i loved it, mattie is my fav so far, i didnt try other paths, the pictures and aesthetic are fire and im sending all love well wishes and hopes for the update!

(+3)

I am in LOVE with this game!!!

  • Is it a cop-out to say all the characters are my favorite? (I am terribly fond of Mathias though)
  • I desperately want to try other paths, but I love the first one I did so much that I make the same choices anyway....
  • The aesthetic is a delight!! It's unique, yet familiar, almost like a storybook

loved playing this!! can't wait for the next chapter to be released!!!

So so good!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just noticed a bug. After choosing my dragon commanders appearance in game, a short time later his appearance on the save menu where it usually shows is different from what I chose - he has a different nose & different jawline. Not sure why this happened?
Also, in the first part of the game, if you try to quicksave it gives an error and you need to rollback. Not sure at what point this stops but after Matt visits the dragon commander in their bedroom, the error no longer occurs.

(+2)

Hi! Just wanted to report an error in the Windows version! It's during basically the first chapter, right after the talk with the Queen, the scene where you can help Mathias undress, it stops playing as this message pops up!

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:

  File "game/chapterOne.rpy", line 654, in script

    label c1dulcereward:

  File "game/chapterOne.rpy", line 654, in script

    text "{font=GrenzeGotisch.ttf}{size=20}[mn1][message!tq][mn2]{/size}{/font}"

NameError: Name 'mn1' is not defined.

For me, it kicked me out and asked how I'd like to open .txt files.

Hihi! It should be fixed now. Thank you for reporting the bug, and I hope you'll enjoy the update ♥

(+1)

Hi! Thank you for letting me know ;) Fixing it right now. I'll let you know once I upload the new build!

(+1)

All right! It should be fixed now ;D Please update to the newest build, it should be up any second now. I hope you'll enjoy the update! ♥♥♥

omg I'm so sad this isn't playable on my phone. I just wanted to say it looks like a wonderful project and the premise sounds so great! ♥️

(1 edit) (+3)

 Just did my first run and even created an account, so far I'm impressed. I'll try a few different choices later, but so far choices have been frequent, made sense for the characters and didn't leave me wanting for different options, I'm a bit bummed about not being able to tell on Mandra, but oh well...

 I don't mind the black and white aesthetic and the frequent art shots (scenes or whatcha call it) mere then make up for the lack of colour. I do want to point out that the art style is quite charming.

 All in all a great VN! But If I could ask one thing, MC has long hair cos of the queen, will we be able to at some point chooses to cut it? Idk why that's the thing I'd love to see, but it is.

(+3)

I just finished my first run, now to play it like 3 more times.

(+2)

So i had been playing this game for about 5 hours and there was this choice i couldnt get no matter how many different choices i get it was the 'Be obedient' and i couldnt press it cause my MC was always to proud any tips would be great or i might spend the whole week fixated on this

(1 edit) (+2)

Hi! Thank you so much for playing the game! I'm glad you're enjoying it. ^^ That scene at the end of CH02 changes a little bit depending on your MC's archetype/personality. That option only appears to the Ruler archetype. It's supposed to be always locked to show that your MC just can't bring themself to be obedient to Mathias (yet) hehe ^^ <3 There are similar options in the other routes too, but for different aspects of the MC's personality. If you want to play other archetypes, you can get the Seeker archetype (sweeter MC) from the first choices in the menus, while the Destroyer (outspoken MC) options are often in the middle. Each archetype has a different ending in CH02. :3

I made an account just so I could leave a comment lol, I really love this game and the character's you've created! I'm so excited to see where this goes in the future (though I'm very new to using itch.io so I literally have no idea how to navigate this site lmao). I love all the LGBTQ+ representation too, super nice to see :)

(+1)

I was pleasantly surprised when I heard Gnossienne in your wonderful work. You have chosen the music perfectly for the story. The storytelling style, musical accompaniment and graphic performance are all very sophisticated and harmonize perfectly. Thank You for sharing your amazing work.

(+2)

This was such an amazing game! I just kinda wish Mandra was a possible love interest lol. I am so excited for the other chapters/updates! I love the story and the angst so far. Thank you devs for creating such a lovely game <33

Thank you so much for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it ♥ And I do have plans for Mand after this game, so I'm extra glad you liked them so much. >8))) It's just me, one dev, though haha

Oh my god, i really hope you're resting then! Don't pressurize urself for games especially because its just you, really surprised bc its an amazing game and doing it all by yourself is an accomplishment 😭 Thank you again, and really?? I'm so happy about the plan for Mand :D

(+1)

This was a fun play! I really enjoyed it. I got a good little kick out of the use of "Battle of Trees" - Tori Amos instramental during the flashback of the feast before the war. it felt very fitting, and naturally, I had to go listen to the song on spotify after.

(+1)

Aaa, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for playing. ♥♥♥ Oooh, and I didn't know that one! Now I'll have to listen to that song too, hehe. ♥ I'm using Erik Satie's Gnossienne; it's one of my faves!

(+3)

Just played through a bunch of times and absolutely love the game! I can't wait to see what's next! Amazing job dev <

Thank you so much! I'm so happy you enjoyed it <3

(+3)

Just played through the whole game and I Love It!!! Honestly it's such a wonderful story and world you're crafting here!! Keep up the beautiful work but of course take care of yourself as well <3 <3 <3

(+1)

You're so sweet, thank you so much! I'm super glad you enjoyed the game. <3

I love this game! The writing and pacing thus far is fantastic, and I adore how complicated the characters themselves are, as well as how complicated the relationships between characters are. I am patiently impatient while waiting for the next update!
