About
A letter from Father Orson gets you on a boat to Starfall Isle, ten silver coins included, to join the Lucent Priory as a scribe and help forge the next great Incantation alongside a room full of other new arrivals just as lost as you.
The setup is monastic in name only. You arrive as one of many Brothers pulled in by the Cantor's invitation, and the priory's real business turns out to be less about scholarship and more about who you study with, who you bunk near, and what the arcanists actually want from their new scribe.
Play centers on building your character and working through the priory's coursework and puzzles at your own pace, with choices steering which relationships and encounters open up as the term goes on. It leans into a fantasy-religious setting with a cast that isn't shy about who it's attracted to.
Changelog
- N/A
- N/A
- Various bug fixes.
- Added the scene that was missing in 0.4.1.1.
- Various bug and inconsistency fixes.
- A script of around 16,000 additional words.
- NOTE: There is one scene that has not been finalized yet (the writing part only; the art is there already). It will be included in its entirety in the Scribe release.
- A good part of the update are scenes unlockable only to playthroughs in which the MC has romanced Orson and/or (to a lesser extent, but significant) Rehan. I have a feeling only a tiny fraction of players did not actively pursue the Prior, but if one of them is you, you might want to consider giving it a try for this update in particular.
- Even though this update encompasses the first day, as in earlier Chapters, the elective scenes you can do in the mornings and afternoons will be added progressively through various updates, and so the current update is not representative of everything you will be able to do on Chapter 4 Mountainsday.
- 11 new CGs, both static and animated.
- The Revelations gallery will be added in the Scribe release.
- Various bug fixes, inconsistency fixes, and writing revisions and edits.
- Hotfix 3/1:
- Fixed a bug where the game would think you had Soren arrested no matter what. This bug was at the beginning of the Saheilan service section in Chapter 3. So, if you are planning to romance Soren in Chapter 4, you will need to replay this section again.
- Fixed a graphical bug affecting some MC models in a CG in Chapter 4.
- Fixed a graphical bug affecting MCs possessing the Bravery skill in some playthroughs.
- 17,000 words.
- Make sure to try out the optional scenes with some of the novices, and if you have time, play through again with different decisions. Some innocuous scenes branch in this one.
- 6 CGs (animated and static)
- You will see that some of these are still a work in progress as of 0.3.2.1. Hoping to refine them by next update.
- One of the scenes from the art sneak peek is missing and has been moved to the Scribe update on December 14th. It's just not done yet the way I want it to be. Library boy lovers, it's gonna be 2 more weeks.
- Drama (for most playthroughs).
- Bug, graphics, and inconsistency fixes for Chapter 3, as well as earlier chapters.
- Added the Revelations gallery for this update.
- Bug, inconsistency, and typo fixes.
- Added the missing scene in Soren's cell for certain playthroughs.
- Bug, inconsistency, and typo fixes.
- A whole bunch of new written scenes (about 18,000 words).
- 5 new CGs.
- 7 new backgrounds.
- A big decision that branches the story ahead.
- initial zone release
