Welcome back to the devlog, demonhearts!
Update v1.49 is now live for both Windows and macOS on Steam, with some content changes!
Here is what's new (avoiding spoilers):
Made some changes to the ending where Ran survives and it results in a certain someone's death. Rewrote two dialogue choices with Ran so that one is clearly about the other character, and the other is clearly not, so if you want to focus on that character you won't accidentally miss it. Added different lines of narration to show the protagonist's feelings about that death, depending on the choice you made as well as relationship levels with both characters.
Partially rewrote the descriptions in Kaisar's romance scene in Chapter 6 to better depict his mood and level of experience. ːedgardoː
Polished some more lines in different places without changing the intended meaning.

Update v1.39

Update Notes v1.33
I've been polishing the existing content in various places. One scene that got some new lines is a scene in Chapter 4 where the main character thinks about Vita in a nostalgic way. I realized this was another instance where your relationship points should be taken into account, s

Update Notes v1.32
In this update, I've edited and polished some lines in the existing chapters for better flow. The meaning has stayed the same. The only exception is a line that used to say the city of Ravage "was already a ruin" by the time MC was born. This was supposed to refer to the sad stat

Small Update v1.26
As of this update, the game will track if you accused Leona while defending Kaisar in Chapter 4, so there will be a reference to it in Chapter 6, which is still in development. If you don't replay, it will be treated like you backed Kaisar but did not accuse Leona (it doesn't mak
