I played the Ruben route and enjoyed the story, but I felt like the choices didn’t change the outcome much. Kinda disappointed there’s only one ending, but I still had a good time reading it.
The demo version caught my interest, so I bought the full version of the Ruben route. It is not bad per say...however...
First of all, there are some coding errors in the game, and at least one page had same paragraphs showing up twice, also Stat View is missing Chapter Two.
The story and the plot are ok and the characters aren't bad either...it is the relationships I have a problem with. To say, I'm disappointed, is an understatement. Yes, it says in the description "You can behave as you wish and do not have to worry about the LI wishing to break up with you, the only thing that changes is their disposition." but, seriously?! Even if they don't wanna break up with me, I should still be able to break up with them, right...?
Yeah, no, so none of your choices actually matter. In the end, you are forced into a relationship, intimacy, and being in love with the LI, even if you despise them and never show any interest in them and basically tell them to F* OFF whenever possible...not to mention you are forced to become a "parent" (ugh).
This experience left me pretty much as frustrated, irritated and pissed off as my character after their time in the tower.
Yes, I get that it is one LI per route kinda thing...but I would still very much appreciate not having that LI being forcefully fed to me when I'm not interested. There should be an option to say "NO" in a way that actually matters and truly also means "NO". Let us hate each other, or at least be just friends, or turn him into a villain and make him force himself on me while I get to hate him, or just let me be miserable and and myself, something, anything.
I mean it IS a romance game 😅 it makes sense to end up in a relationship with the character whose route you bought...
I get it if you ended up not liking Ruben's character but I think it's silly to play this wanting to reject him when the romance is the whole point of the game
LOL nowhere in the description does it it say that it is a romance game. (but yes, I know it is)
However, since it is described to be about breaking the curse, choices and self-discovery...shouldn't those things be the main focus of the game. Plus, more often than not even games that are strictly about romance, have a way to refuse to enter a relationship. Plus, since this game has 5 different variations of it, it would make sense to offer each of them a hate/forced/friend paths, instead of making a separate route for that...unless of course route 6 would contain all 5 LIs in a huge party mix chaos.
But seriously, is it really that wrong to wish to enjoy the game and the story without being forced into a relationship that feels fake as sh*t?
Is is not just because I dislike Ruben's. I mean, yes, he is an a**hole and there is really nothing even remotely likable about the guy, but it is not his personality that rubs me the wrong way (I could definitely see my character falling for him under different circumstances). It is the way the relationship is forced upon that bothers me. It feels fake, artificial and forced. Choices end up meaning nothing and in the end you are not even given choices, and that is the part that sucks.
i mean... the game is under the romance tag, and the structure of the game is pretty explicitly built around romance routes. i can't really tell what you want. if you don't want to play a romance game, then just don't??? but don't play a romance game and then complain that you're "forced" to romance the character you specifically chose to romance lol.
The premise of the game seems to be whoever finds the phoenix marries them (or uses them in some way to form an alliance with the phoenix kingdom), so being forced to be married and have kids isn't necessarily weird, but it would be nice if the game acknowledged if it was a political marriage if you don't like the LI rather than a marriage of love.
remembered i got ruben's route and decided to replay it again. was wondering if there is a way to lower your stat to be more on the bleak side than hopeful and if it has any effect cause everytime ive played i always got that bar high
I just finished Rubens route and ❤️❤️❤️❤️ it was so sweet I loved it!!! I can't wait for the others!! Also the pictures don't show up for playing it on my phone.. 😭
hi i enjoy the demo but when i try to play ozaras route i get an error when i try to select my relation ship with the maid, here is the error

is there any chance this could be fixed? thanks for the enjoyable demo either way
If you bought the game, you should have a different option for download - its either something like TOAFull or TOA Specific Ruben - in download options. Its not complete entirely though, Ruben is the only finished route right now.
Omg I just finished Rubens route and holy shit I felt like crying after I finished it, Rubens route is so emotional and so beautifully done I dreaded the end of it I just wanna say this was worth every penny and minute of my time and another reason why 13leagues is my favorite>3
You can play individual paths if you want, however neither Zarik 0r Nour has been completed yet (From what the author said though Nour is close to being released)
hey! i bought the full game a month or so ago on my laptop, it was working fine but i opened it recently and all the images are gone and won't load. i have reinstalled it to see if that would fix it but it didn't work. is there anything i can do to fix it?
I second this, actually. I downloaded it and when I opened it for the first time all of the images were already broken. I played the demo so I know there should have been flames and such.
Hey! I just want to say I really REALLY like this game and can't wait to play Nour! I really liked the Ruben route and discovering different phoenixes we can be, can't wait to play more :)
Is this game still being updated? I liked the demo but it looks like the last time a route was released was 2 years ago and dont want to buy it if it is going to be abandoned
It is not abandoned. Nour is being updated as I type and should be out before the end of the year. I have multiple projects which means I'm slower to update than normal. Not the smartest thing but hey, what can I do. Ideas.
Bought the game, finished it once and tried to replay but couldn't continue on at a certain point because I couldn't click any choices. How can I fix that?
This happens when you attempt to replay with the same character, it basically just sends your character back to the start so dialogue choices, stats etc won't reset, you have to click "restart" and create a new character or load a save from where you want to begin.
I'm confused. Bought the full game, played one character route, and the story abruptly stops with a message "thanks for playing the demo." So is the "full game" not actually the full game? What did I buy?
Hi! You bought access to the full game when it releases. Ruben's Route is currently the only one finished, but you're freely able to do his route and the demos for the others in the Full Version.

Any progress news on nour's route? 'cause i' ve been checking author(s?) tumblr for a few months but it just says it's 90% complete.
This game makes me sob every time I come back to it. Fucking brilliant. Please never stop writing

People find a way to complain about anything, I mean I guess the only thing left to do is just don't play the game?😭

Does anyone know how close nours route is to being finished?
i saw on Tumblr that it's 80% done.
Are all routes done in the full version if you pay for it
Nope
Just Ruben
I played the demo back then and I'm glad Nour's route is being written and finished this year(?) I love the tropes he has :D
starting ruben's route and i already got attached to Toz not romantically but OH DEAR TOZ I WILL CRY BLOOD IF HE DIES
I just finished Rubens route and ❤️❤️❤️❤️ it was so sweet I loved it!!! I can't wait for the others!! Also the pictures don't show up for playing it on my phone.. 😭
Ehh,when will nour route be completed..it's been a while and I kinda desperately want to see how there route goes
hi i enjoy the demo but when i try to play ozaras route i get an error when i try to select my relation ship with the maid, here is the error

I'm also getting this error.
Ozara's route is being changed significantly so the author has decided not to add any fixes to her demo just yet, as it wouldn't be needed :)
any update about a route completion or an estimte of it being complete?
so i'm guessing this game isn't complete?
cause i bought the game and it ended in a demo
If you bought the game, you should have a different option for download - its either something like TOAFull or TOA Specific Ruben - in download options. Its not complete entirely though, Ruben is the only finished route right now.
kay, thanks
kay, thanks
Omg I just finished Rubens route and holy shit I felt like crying after I finished it, Rubens route is so emotional and so beautifully done I dreaded the end of it I just wanna say this was worth every penny and minute of my time and another reason why 13leagues is my favorite>3
hi, is it possible that i can only by nour and zarik's route? it is the only routes i want to play(and buy) without buying the full game.
ps. loved ruben's route
You can play individual paths if you want, however neither Zarik 0r Nour has been completed yet (From what the author said though Nour is close to being released)
:)
❤️
I second this, actually. I downloaded it and when I opened it for the first time all of the images were already broken. I played the demo so I know there should have been flames and such.
Hey! I just want to say I really REALLY like this game and can't wait to play Nour! I really liked the Ruben route and discovering different phoenixes we can be, can't wait to play more :)
the dispositions indicate how invested they are in Phoenix?
Is this game still being updated? I liked the demo but it looks like the last time a route was released was 2 years ago and dont want to buy it if it is going to be abandoned
It is not abandoned. Nour is being updated as I type and should be out before the end of the year. I have multiple projects which means I'm slower to update than normal. Not the smartest thing but hey, what can I do. Ideas.
