Not only did I ball my damn eyes out reading Ruben's story, but by the time I looked out my window, the sun was in the sky staring at me with pure absolute judgment because I stayed up till 7am reading this :D. This is incredibly beautifully written and the characters are absolutely chef's kiss! You should give yourself a huge pat on the back for this and I am excited to see the rest of the LI storylines! Ofc take care of yourself and stay hydrated :) personal health comes first!
AMAZING one of the best interactive fictions I have read, I loved Rubens storyline and the story and character development was amazing nothing felt forced the way the emotions transcended through as the story progressed was so natural my only wish would have been to have a season 2 to Rubens story line where we got to see the MC actually rule and help make decisions as a leader of two houses and see the MC meeting the Elders instead of an epilogue but I did like seeing the happy ending
(Android) Bought the game and the download won't go through. Everytime it says irs done and I click on the file to play literally nothing happens im just staring at the screen. Two dollars isn't a lot but STILL. Can anybody help me?
Wow I just finished Ruben's story.... It was amazing! I truly truly cannot wait for Nour's story to be released! I cried so many times but I honestly appreciated how healing was depicted in a story like this. Amazing writing and amazing interactive
I really enjoyed playing through Ruben's route, and I got attached to the side characters. I can't wait to read the other routes. But what made me want to comment was the last conversation Sun has with the MC. Seriously, there were some lines in there so good and powerful that I read them multiple times before I moved on, and I was choked up after all the MC had been through. Really great writing.
I picked this up because I played your other game, Superstition. Holy wow I love your writing. Like I would buy anything you've written. The way you write romances is amazing! I liked the story so much. I like some darkness to balance the light, and wow this delivered. Also, the slow buildup was amazing. Truly, you are so talented. Thank you for all your work and I'll look forward to any of your future writing endeavors.
I love it so much! I've been playin some other romantic interactive stories but they were all too happy and colorful, your story was just perfect *-* I was not sure I would like Ruben and at some point I went to Roz convinced I was not gonna romance him and then BANG fell in love. The whole story felt so natural and beautiful. So many choices and meaningful and with so many paths... (and some smut, thank you) really, I'm so impressed. You have won me over and have earned a fan. Gonna read all your games :D
they say nour’s route is going be the one they work on next update. But like this is a long time ago HAHAH I think I’ve seen they said that this is not currently being worked on right now tho. BUT again, this is a long time ago like 5 months ig.
This is so fucking good! I just read Ruben's route and I need to play it again choosing different options. I am so obsessed with the story and Ruben definitely stole my heart!
I wanted to express my complete interest in this project still, though I'm personally not interested in the lady routes. But so glad to see you still working on this. I loved Reuben's route and I look forward to one day playing Nouritis route. <3
God I want to read the other stories in this world so badly. I come back to Reuben's route constantly. The absolute spot on depiction of a trauma survivor and the many ways they can react to their abuse is amazing. And what is even more amazing is the portrayal of how things can get better, while acknowledging that the sort of trauma the Phoenix has survived never REALLY leaves you, it's just something you learn to live with.
The best way to play would be through their Patreon. You just get a link straight to the game if you do 3 dollars or above instead of having to do it through itch.io.
if you have android, you can first extract the download from the zip file and then download joiplay. when opening, make sure to click on the index.html file and it should work! im not entirely sure if apple has joiplay
Author is still working on it but like BiaSoul said, it is not what she is focusing on full time currently. On her Patreon she mentioned that the next update will probably be the complete demo for Makaio, so it will probably be a while still before the full Makaio route is released.
Curious and this is (mainly) worded as a non-serious question, but I played as cis-male and at the end they have children. Is m-preg cannon in this universe, because it is implied that they didn't use a surrogate. Also I don't know if the child of Mauve and Okti are adopted. Can same sex couples just have children? I just find it interesting.
Same sex couples can have biological children by ritual. If both are cis men or one of the couple can't give birth for other reasons, then they'd need a surrogate. In case of Ruben and cis male MC Mauve is the surrogate mother. I think I read it either in previous replies or on author's blog, though it's not mentioned in the epilogue.
Hm possibly, I just find it interesting as dialogue from an NSFW option talked about bearing another child (if yknow from which then yknow) thanks for answering tho
Been playing Ruben's route and after the Training session we had at the village near the chaune territory and after a notification said the Ruben still dislikes my mc. Is that normal? Or is it because my mc disposition is fiery (2/100) combative and derisive. Or is there a specific option I need to take to make him like me at that point?
Fiery is Ruben's disposition, it's closer to rivalry vs. Mindful (closer to friendship), and with it he takes a longer time coming to terms with his feelings etc.

Itd be nice if there was a way to play this since i bought a route. Maybe on my kindle maybe an online platform?
did you download the itch app on your pc/laptop?
Wow I just finished Ruben's story.... It was amazing! I truly truly cannot wait for Nour's story to be released! I cried so many times but I honestly appreciated how healing was depicted in a story like this. Amazing writing and amazing interactive
How can I pay just for the two female LI routes? It seems only Ruben has the route specific.
only rubens route is done (this game is a WIP) so only his route specific is available. the game will be updated later
Ruben's route was so fleshed out and well written, I'm so excited for future updates
I got the full version. I am so excited to see the rest of the game
Are the other routes available in the full version?
non of them except Ruben are finished
Loved Ruben's route so much- Im excited for the rest! :D
when do you suppose will be a full release of all the other routes?
I really enjoyed playing through Ruben's route, and I got attached to the side characters. I can't wait to read the other routes.

Is the demo still available?

is there any way to know more about the regions in character selection?
Go to the compendium and then lore, there is information about it there. No picture yet in this update though.
Does anyone know whose route is gonna be released next?
they say nour’s route is going be the one they work on next update. But like this is a long time ago HAHAH I think I’ve seen they said that this is not currently being worked on right now tho. BUT again, this is a long time ago like 5 months ig.
Oh, that's too bad :((
I really looked forward to Nour's route!
aww :( I love Nour too. big hug to u 🥹💕
If you go to their website TOA is listed under in-progress and not under Haitus!
Woah, I'm happy to hear that!
I literally can't wait for Nour's route... <3
Man, I'm really excited for Nour's route, though if I'm not mistaken, it's not gonna come soon?
Doesn't matter though, whenever it's finished, I'm gonna purchase it.
I love it so much! Unfortunately, I can't buy full routes (I'm from Russia), but I want to thank you for your hard work! ❤
This is so fucking good! I just read Ruben's route and I need to play it again choosing different options. I am so obsessed with the story and Ruben definitely stole my heart!

I love this so much omg <3 I can't wait till the others are out
whose route is already finished? I want to know before I buy
just ruben's at the moment
How does paying for this work if I only play through browser? Is it not playable in that case?
The best way to play would be through their Patreon. You just get a link straight to the game if you do 3 dollars or above instead of having to do it through itch.io.
It is, you'll get a link but be sure to extract the link so that audio and the images pop up.
i would do anything for nour they are amazing.
I love these stories it's always a wow 😊
i hope youre doing well, author
any updates for the newer routes?
It is said numerous times that lower numbers does not mean a lower and/or hate relationship. It is simply a different trait that comes up.
Is there a web browser playable full ruben route ? Bought the game but can't access on my device...
if you have android, you can first extract the download from the zip file and then download joiplay. when opening, make sure to click on the index.html file and it should work! im not entirely sure if apple has joiplay
Im BEGGING for toz route that man have my heart
Is this still being worked on? it serms to not have been updated since August, also can't wait for Makaio route of all the ros i like her the most
hmmmm i think it is but from what I've seen of her patreon it seems that she's been focusing more on her other works such as Superstition
Author is still working on it but like BiaSoul said, it is not what she is focusing on full time currently. On her Patreon she mentioned that the next update will probably be the complete demo for Makaio, so it will probably be a while still before the full Makaio route is released.
I'm a little bit empty inside now that I've finally finished this...
i have a question about character romance stats--when the number is higher, does that mean the relationship is improving or getting worse?
It's improving
the relationship doesnt work on improving or getting worse. you just get two different storylines.
I just finish Ruben's route. When plan for releasing another RO's route ? Looking forward new update.
Toz has my heart
Me too
SPOILERS FOR RUBENS ENDING
Curious and this is (mainly) worded as a non-serious question, but I played as cis-male and at the end they have children. Is m-preg cannon in this universe, because it is implied that they didn't use a surrogate. Also I don't know if the child of Mauve and Okti are adopted. Can same sex couples just have children?

thanks for answering tho
Well, that was a breeding kink, it doesn't have to end in actual pregnancy.
Been playing Ruben's route and after the Training session we had at the village near the chaune territory and after a notification said the Ruben still dislikes my mc. Is that normal? Or is it because my mc disposition is fiery (2/100) combative and derisive. Or is there a specific option I need to take to make him like me at that point?
Fiery is Ruben's disposition, it's closer to rivalry vs. Mindful (closer to friendship), and with it he takes a longer time coming to terms with his feelings etc.
Is it just ruben's route that is completed? Or are the other routes ready to fully play in the full game
just ruben's route is completed the others are still short demos
