Progress Update: August 28, 2025
August has been a productive month! I’ve been working overtime lately and have made significant progress: Evgenia’s voice acting has been fully implemented. But when I moved on to Grenearl, I noticed some fairly significant issues with the voice recordings… I actually picked up on them during the first recording session, but I was a bit hesitant to request too many revisions at the time (ahhh!). I thought most of it would be usable, but it turns out… it really isn’t. We’re planning to re-record after the voice actor returns from vacation in September. This time, I hope they can refer more closely to the tone and delivery references I provided ORZ.
Our editor, Diana, has been as efficient as ever! She already completed the proofreading for locations and concepts by mid-August. Now, I’ve sent her the character profiles for proofreading. Her efficiency is almost too much, that I have to keep up and speed up the translation progress!
Also, since the publishing contract for "Knell of St. Godhrkar" has expired, the process is almost complete! While reviewing the code for the previous game, I was not only stunned by the sheer complexity but also discovered many untranslated sections in the English version.... I has decided to take some (very limited) time to optimize the code for the Knell. We’re hoping to release a major update soon (though it’ll probably break previous save files…!).
Additionally, last week, we completed all the scenes for the first two days of the P route. One particular scene had 8 different variations due to overlapping choices! it was an intense and exhilarating mix of possibilities!

Q: Hi Birctreel! I recently finished playing the demo of Elegy and felt that this installment is another huge leap forward compared to the Knell. It feels like a major production: the writing, music, and art all show incredible dedication. The storylines for the 3 characters are also very engaging. Personally, I love Evgenia’s route the most; the power struggles among the elites reveal the darkness of human nature driven by benefit in just the right way. However, after finishing E42, I couldn’t shake a faint sense of unease. I really want to know, will Evgenia ultimately reach a bright ending, free from schemes and disguises? She will, right? She definitely will, right? TAT (Please don’t let it be like Shervlett’s route in the Knell… sob sob)
A: Wow, thank you so much for your kind words!! I’m really glad you enjoyed Evgenia’s story!
Evgenia’s route may seem like an otome game (…), but it’s actually the most perilous of the 3 routes. Combined with the character’s own flaws, the early parts may feel a bit frustrating. But don’t worry! Her arrogance stems from courage and decisiveness—and these very traits will guide her toward a (maybe hilariously) happy ending!
