This is incredibly impressive, the amount of mechanics and just extra things going on, scenes with non main characters, one off's, and random encounters this just goes to show how much potential and creativity this community has. And if this is really not even complete I can't wait to see what the full vision is. Can't afford to stay subbed to the patreon forever, but I got one month of the LVL 3 tier and I don't at all regret supporting. Look forward to the future updates, and hopefully some day the full release!
Hey, thanks for the kind words and the support - I very much appreciate both! :) Solo devs like myself live and die as much on positive reinforcement as financial support so it really does make a difference, believe me!
I like this game a lot the storyline is compelling and makes you want come back for more and I am wondering if there's going to be a Halloween update soon??
Hey, thanks for the kind words and I'm glad you're enjoying the game! :)
No Halloween update, as what with the recent changes and me being on my break for this past week I just didn't have the time, unfortunately, to do any spoopy events. I have something planned for Christmas, though!
Android version doesn't have a problem - your phone has a problem :) This could be anything from incompatible hardware to corrupted drivers, but the most common reason is not enough storage space. Trying freeing up at least 6GB and reinstalling.
the game is amazing, it got a good story that makes me actually want to learn more. it got good features. its simply a good game, i hope we see more of Qarinah tough.
I want to commend this game. It could have easily been an icky feeling adventure with hypnotizing people to do your dirty bidding, but there's actually a captivating mystery going on
I'm glad you like it! :) Yeah, I wanted to try and avoid the "ickiness" that often comes with mind control - MC's not a good person by any stretch of the imagination but he's hopefully not a creep either :P
One of the things I really appreciate as a woman is you never honestly force a sexual experience, yes one can happen that takes me out of the moment (like removing Chloe's free will) but it's kind of you to allow us to use control or the upgraded version to ask them what we need and move on.
I think there's two or three sexual situations that you can't avoid in the game, but a number of people have requested a "Virgin Run" option, so at some point I'll be re-writing those scenes to allow you to avoid them too :)
I need to meet a character named Sally at the PTA meeting and unlock the company area, but I don't know what I should do. Can someone give me some information about this?
When are you going to add the act 3 scenes to the gallery?
Also, the character cards don't give me any hints at all in act 3, I've been having to go in an read each of the updates to find out what is available.
Is it possible to somehow limit “pixie’s movement across the screen” while communicating with her? This is not very convenient, I mean her disappearance from the screen and subsequent return… What do you think?
Rehab probably never, as there's no reason for it to exist in the new Combat System. Dungeon will return when I can think of a good use for it that doesn't also result in another five years of work being added to my plate :P
i hope in next update veronica and madison have new fun in the school (the war version) or maybe the next act 4 is coming ,and if something happened to them I'M GONNA HUNT YOU FIRST, Arc :)
Not in the next update, but soon! :) Madison and Veronica have a lot of content coming, so it's only fair that other characters get to have some events of their own first.
glad to hear that's , and yeah i have so much fun with your game and i like it so much , this the second time i play again after the mini game battle not coming out yet , and now thats does have it 🗿🛐 , thanks you for the awesome game Arc
oh ya Arc , i know thats mc mother is not dead yet 🧐 , but tell me if there his mom will have sex scane with his son soon or have any scane with her? I wanted to meet her , and about that's rat Tom , can i kill thats dude?? 🗿😪
At the moment my focus is on creating new content, and I advise everyone to keep a spare save in Act Two so they can replay the repeatable non-Gallery content. But it's definitely on my to-do list, and once all the important stuff is in I'll beginning adding the Act Two repeatable scenes to the Gallery! :)
I just checked on two different machines and the download is working correctly. Do not ask for repacks of the game - you are opening yourself up to potential viral infections.
If the download link continues to not work for you, try downloading from alternate official sources such as Patreon and Subscribestar.
Not sure why you got downvoted because it's a perfectly valid question. Drendy covered how to upgrade your dice, but also remember to make sure of the "Personal Meals" that Hana offers in the Manor kitchen :)
Came for the porn (no pun intended) but stayed for the story. idk why but this game rlly gripped me but I will say one thing if ANYTHING happens to my kids I will come after you Arc :)
Whenever I press start on the main menu it goes black then crashes. It happened to me a couple of updates ago and people said it got fixed in the next one but still I got nothing. I'm on android btw
Could be that your phone needs a full reset (power down, don't just restart), or that you don't have the correct graphics drivers/codecs installed, or that you don't have enough storage space available to run it, or that your hardware is simply incompatible with Ren'py games (which is sadly a possibility).
Your phone should keep all your drivers up to date automatically, provided you're actually updating your software when it tells you to (many people don't, which is a huge mistake) :)
It's not a priority at the moment, and the titles were rather universally disliked. If and when they're brought back they'll be toggleable in the Preferences :P
Ok so i got something for you mister developer, and i hope to god you'll see this cause i got an idea on how the final true power of the player should be called and how i think it would work based on your info so far about it. First i gotta say i loved your game and i cant wait for the finished product.
Ok so let me get some things cleared out first. I will be calling the player the "character", the people he uses his power on will be the "victim/victims" and i will call the mind and personality of the victims as the "circle" (this to make more clear how i understand the power of the character works)
Well now that i got everything i needed cleared out, let me begin on how the character's power has worked so far
Act I:
Ok so at the beginning of the story the character has the artifact thing put inside him by Morgana to "keep him alive". (which as we find out later is a big fat lie cause all that thing does is supress his true power, but i guess if he used his full power from the start he maybe would actually die because we saw he gets severe headaches when he uses all the power he can use so far, anyway, back to the important stuff) And he can use the power called "Control" now. So, what control does. Well to explain and understand it as i do i need you (reader) to imagine that the victim's mind and personality controls the actions of the body, so imagine those being a circle. What happens when the character uses "Control" on a victim is that his power goes inside their conciousness and interacts with the circle, bending it slightly. Very, very slightly. But still enough to make them do simple stuff. And as he uses control on someone more and more he can bend the circle more, but not much. However many times he uses control, he can bend someone only so far, and if the victim is strong, the effect has even less efficiency, that being why he cant control Morgana, she's too strong, and Pixie being a so called mistake probably means that she isnt very strong, which is why the character can control her from the start. So to sum it up, when the character uses "control" on a victim he can bend their circle and as he uses control (ill stop typing "control" like this cause it takes too much time and i got a lot to say) more and more he can bend the circle more, but only if he surpasses the victim in power by quite a big scale (by power i mean magical power and yes normal humans that cant use magic still have magical power, thing of it as their willpower).
Act II:
Here things get interesting, because after being far away from Pixie in the Organization hideout the character breaks through a part of the limiter artifact thing and can now use 2 different powers. One being "Shatter" (which as gramps says is a subdivision of the character's true power, remember this because its important) and the other one being "Awaken" (which as i see it it is a buffed down version of the character's true power and it also has the need to know a strong aspect about the victim)
So first, shatter. As i understand, shatter works like this. So, the character uses a lot of brute magical strength and then his power goes in the victim's conciousness and it completely erases the circle (meaning it destroys the mind of the victim, making them a doll or robot). And, as we see in Chloe's case, with enough strength and if the character far outshines the victim in magic power he can completely erase the circle, but if the power of the character and the victim are more matched, then the character can only erase parts or the circle, or rather it cant completely erase it, like when you swipe your eraser over a drawing and you can still see the drawing a bit. And if the character doesnt have or doesnt use enough strength then he cant do anything to the victim. And after he uses shatter, the conciousness becomes empty (if the circle is completely erased) or theres more space (if the circle still is slightly present) and then the character can input a new shape into the conciousness that he can pilot and make it do as he wants, and he has complete control over the shape he makes, but this means he literally makes the victim a robot or mindless doll that can only do as asked of the character. If theres still a part of the past self of the victim, that that part can still do some normal things like feel certain emotions, but it doesnt have enough power to actually do something against the character (if the shatter is succesfull, even if only slightly). Later, when the fey assassin goes inside Chloe, now the assassin can control Chloe more and can even make her say things, but still she cant make her do something against the character, meaning that when she entered her body, she went into the conciousness and empowered whatever small remains of Chloe's erased circle there still were, but she wasnt stronger than the character, and so she cant freely pilot Chloe's body.
And now, awaken. This one is more interesting. Ok, so, now i want you to imagine the circle split into many parts, some big and some very small, those parts being the needs and wants of the victim, or their desires. A bigger desire means a bigger part of the circle it occupies. And for the character to use awaken he needs to find the biggest part of the circle and know what it represents. And then he uses awaken on a victim and the power goes inside the conciousness. There, it "makes a deal" with the conciousness that in exchange for satisfying that part of the circle, the conciousness gives full control to the awaken power (and so the character) of that part of the circle. And then the awaken power corrupts that part, and as the character satisfies that part of the circle more, the corruption grows and occupies more of the circle. But this is still a slow process, not as powerful or fast as the final true power the character has. More magical strength put into the awaken power means more control over that part of the circle, and in Gwen's case, the character used full power, and so he didnt need to know her biggest desire cause his power was so overwhelming the conciousness gave full control of the whole circle to the character. But that needs him to use his full strength, and even if he does, he couldnt do what he did to Gwen to a stronger person like Morgana.
Now guess what, IM FINALLY DONE EXPLAINING ALL THE BORING BULLSH........ *Cough cough*. What i was trying to say is that now that im done explaining the power of the character as we have seen it so far, now i can get to my idea on how the final true power of the character should be named, and what it should do and work like.
Ok then, to the good part we go.
So, the final power (in my opinion) should be called "Corrupt", you'll see exactly why when i explain what it does. It also is cool that it fits with the name of the game "Corrupted Kingdoms".
So, what is corrupt. Well. Ohh boy this is gonna be a long one. So, first ill explain how i imagine the character gains this power. What i think is that at the end of the war the character has to fight "Morgana", "The Organisation" and "The Eldritch" at the same time (they team up or something to get rid of the character, since they all want that now). And as he at first looses the battle, Gramps comes in the play like at the end of act 2 and instead of scaring away everybody, he keeps them at bay but says: "I dont want to get directly involved in this, so I wont fight you. " Then, he takes the artifact out of the Character and says: "You are ready boy, i believe you can control your power now and so, go ahead and show them what you're capable of, give them hell!" and he then flies away, leaving an artifactless character on the ground as his power starts to flow into his body, overwhelming him at first. But, as the Organisation boss goes up to the character to check if he is dead, the character burst with a strong light and after his allies and enemies are able to see once again, they see him flying in the air, a big smirk on his face and then they hear a loud voice in their head saying: "Finally, my power is now truly mine. I can feel it coursing through me, its so much i feel like im a god now." and then he points his finger to his closest enemy, the boss of the organisation and he shouts: "CORRUPT". Then, a black and purple light shoots out of his finger and goes inside the boss of the organisation's mind (which i dont remember the name of and so ill call him Max, i dont know, its the first name that came to mind, and it sounds kinda menacing i guess.....) Then, after a second Max kneels down and says: "I live to serve you my lord, i will obey any order you give me." Then he looks up to his master, the character, with an evil smirk and says: "Do you wish for me to kill these plebians that dare oppose you my master?" Then the Character says: "No, my subject. But i do have a task for you. Go among my allies and protect them with your life, and order your troops to do so aswell (troops being the whole organisation which of course are there since thats why they are strong, they have strength in numbers and tech) (Side Note: I will assume the fact that after the character gains his strength he somehow magically already knows how it works and stuff like that so i can simplify things a bit. Also, ill finish the story then ill explain how i think corrupt should work). Then Max orders his troops to circle all of the allies of the character, but they try to fight back because they want to accompany the character, believing he isnt strong enough to take everyone down by himself (and how wrong they are). Among the crowd Gwen says: "My Love! Please let us help you! You cant take them down alone! Please, ill give my life so you can win, but please let me do so! (i know Gwen is in a wheelchair, but i think she's still be there even if she cant fight, she couldnt allow herself to not accompany the character in what she still thinks may be his last moments, because she believes he doesnt have a chance at winning). Then Max angrily says: "How dare you impose the fact that master cant win! He is allpowerfull, allknowing and a god that walks among us lowlives! Everyone should bow down to him, and they will after he shows them his majestic power as he has shown me, he will show them the light and they will bend to his will! He Will Win!" And then the character says: "Silence! I do not want my subjects to fight among themselves! You shall see that i will win this, and i will alone, i do not want to put you in harms way anymore than i have done already Gwen and everybody else. Now watch on and see how my true power takes down my foes!". Then, the crowd starts cheering on the character as they now believe in his strength. Then, Morgana and the Eldritch jump up towards the character trying to attack him, and he teleports from their way, leaving them to attack each other. Then, he says in a commanding and menacing voice: "These lowlives believe they can fight me, how foolish. I shall show you the light and bring you to salvation, as i am a merciful god. Now then, CORRUPT!" He shouts out and then two more black and purple lights shoot out of his hands and enter the bodies of both Morgana and the Eldritch, and after a few second of the character pushing his power inside them, they finally break and then they kneel infront of them, both saying at the same time: "We have been brought to salvation, our lord. We see we have been foolish to oppose you, if you wish we shall take our lives as repentance for our foolish behavior" Then both Morgana and the Eldritch bring their hands to their chests towards their hearts and wait for their lords response. The character then says in a commanding loud tone: "No, my subjects. You have been foolish, yes. And you have brought me pain, yes, but i am merciful, i forgive mistakes as long as you serve me and never oppose me again." then both Morgana and the Eldritch look up at the character and say on queue: "We shall our lord! We will repent our whole lives and serve you with our very own being! We will make sure no one ever opposes you ever again! How merciful and forgiving of you to let us server you, we will give our all to bringing only joy to you!" and then they bow again. And yeah, thats how i picture the last fight ending. It is to my liking because i really love a short fight where the main character just obliderates his enemy. This is my style so yeah. So, now to get to how corrupt works.
Well, picture it like this. First, as i said, when the character casts corrupt a black and purple light shoots out of his hand and enters the body of the victim. Then, it goes to their conciousness. (Side note, im lazy, so ill explain how this power works only at full strength. I even have an excuse for it. The character can only use Corrupt when he uses all of his strength, otherwise he can only use his previous powers. Yup, thats why) And then we reach the circle. There, the magical power of the corrupt power of the character completely takes over the circle, shaping and molding itself around it. Then, it destroys the circle and then the corrupt energy power replaces it, remaining in the same shape but it also gives the character the ability to mold it to his will, in whatever way he wishes, but it being the same shape as the original circle means that the victim still acts as itself, only it serves the character with all of their being. As we saw at the awaken power, the reason for this being that now all of the circle represents only one desire, serving the character.
Thats it. Thats how i see the final true power of the character being introduced, being named and also how i see it working. I hope to god the creator will see this, i really loved your game man and i hope youll at least read my idea. Maybe even consider taking notes from it........ if it isnt too much to hope...... yeah you get it. Alright, my fingers hurt like hell so thats it folks. Hope you like my idea. Peace out!
Someone on the Discord server (maybe you?) was saying that Itch downloads were behaving weirdly for them, too. Might be that Itch's server had the hiccups - try the Patreon or Subscribestar links if Itch still isn't working for you :)
Unfortunately I don't speak that language so I don't know what the error message actually is. Could be a lack of storage space, could be a corrupted download, could be your phone is out of date or is running incompatible hardware or could be that your phone needs to be fully powered down and restarted.
Sounds like you're running a translated version perhaps, NERDYNERDY. Those aren't official and I can't provide either support or fixes for them, I'm afraid.
Boys and girls, haven't played game for a year or so At that moment there were no scenes with Morgana(is it her name? our first antagonist) except the one where she was having a good time on her throne. Are there any more content with this lady today?
For roxy you need to go with her on a trip to the base after you already completed everything, you can find a cloth dispenser there that unlocks the military outfit
... check your suscribestar page(make sure to look at it as a potential player (e.g.: don't login as owner), there has been a habit of setting the public release under lock and key. I know it is available elsewhere but, I thought you would like to know........ ("A bridge of learning" EXAMPLE ) (and several more)
I understand your viewpoint but if it is not brought to attention, it could happen in succession, luckily there are sites like this. I just hope Arc is able to read it and realize the error and not have it be repeated.
Public releases will now be the Monday after the supporter release.
Meaning that 0.20.2 will come the 23rd this month.
And for the record, Arc.
You could’ve made like a public announcement in regards of the schedule change. There are some folks that still don’t know you’ve gone bi-weekly.
Won’t expect you to do that each time you take a break, but I also don’t expect you to change the scheduling too often. This is a relatively major change.
And yeah. My PSA ain’t worth shit since people won’t scroll down.
People also don’t read the entire patchnotes.
I know I don’t read the bottom bit most of the time because it’s often summarised into “Updates continue as normal” i.e next week or so.

how do i increase Jessica's progress? im stuck
do the organization lead
Check the Heart Menu (top right with the top nav bar visible) and read the "HINT:" section at the bottom right of her card :)
Thxs but how do i learn more about the organization? im not sure where to start
This is incredibly impressive, the amount of mechanics and just extra things going on, scenes with non main characters, one off's, and random encounters this just goes to show how much potential and creativity this community has. And if this is really not even complete I can't wait to see what the full vision is.

No Halloween update, as what with the recent changes and me being on my break for this past week I just didn't have the time, unfortunately, to do any spoopy events. I have something planned for Christmas, though!
Last version I played was 0.17.7, wonder how much content there has been since then. Time to find out
Android version is have a problem And here the poroff
Android version doesn't have a problem - your phone has a problem :) This could be anything from incompatible hardware to corrupted drivers, but the most common reason is not enough storage space. Trying freeing up at least 6GB and reinstalling.
Ohh thank you
the game is amazing, it got a good story that makes me actually want to learn more. it got good features. its simply a good game, i hope we see more of Qarinah tough.
Hey, thanks for the kind words and I'm glad you're enjoying it! :)
More Qarinah is definitely on the way; her story's not yet done!
I want to commend this game. It could have easily been an icky feeling adventure with hypnotizing people to do your dirty bidding, but there's actually a captivating mystery going on
I'm glad you like it! :) Yeah, I wanted to try and avoid the "ickiness" that often comes with mind control - MC's not a good person by any stretch of the imagination but he's hopefully not a creep either :P

I need to meet a character named Sally at the PTA meeting and unlock the company area, but I don't know what I should do. Can someone give me some information about this?
Just go find madison , there is option say 3 powerfull girl something , i quite remember what it is
Is there any way to progress the Quiet Girl's story, since when i used Hidden Voices she says "... On two feet at noon, and at three in the..."
Is there a way to send an answer or progress in any way?
Hmm nope I don't think so there is no scane with that "Quiet Girl" let's hope for next update if we can have fun with her , imma right Arc? 🗿
Not in the next update, but fairly soon you'll be able to interact with her again and uncover her mystery, yes :)
is it just end up with being interact with annie about kanna in this 20.2 version or there is more?
That’s it.
If it doesn’t say there’s content on the changelog, then there’s no content.
why my dice always triangle one and not the square one when fighting maven?
Well, the battle was a surprise attack so you didn’t have time to get reinforcements.
But you probably should’ve gotten the upgrades from Shopkeep.
You meet him after trying to cross the bridge after conquering it.
thx so much man
When are you going to add the act 3 scenes to the gallery?
Also, the character cards don't give me any hints at all in act 3, I've been having to go in an read each of the updates to find out what is available.
Not soon, it’s not a priority.
Yeah, that’s how it is, the game doesn’t tell you everything.
The card hints get updated when you progress the girl’s love level. Which you haven’t yet, you’ve just gone and met them after the 3 months.
How to lower the knowledge loss?
Veronica gives you teaching advice, and there was a potted crystal sold by the field merchant.
Also consider getting the education boosting upgrades. Book in the library, the property upgrade in Jessica’s office and Madison’s teaching advice.
And for the record, don’t use powers or the lesson won’t be worth anything.
thanks for the advice!
Im confused, where do i type the key codes thing??
In the Nexus, bottom-left where it says "Use Keys" :)
Does anyone have a 100% android save at the start of act three that I could download
There's one pinned in the #game-chat channel on the CK Discord :)
I'm also interested in this question
Is it possible to somehow limit “pixie’s movement across the screen” while communicating with her? This is not very convenient, I mean her disappearance from the screen and subsequent return… What do you think?
When is Dungeon and Rehab being added again?
Rehab probably never, as there's no reason for it to exist in the new Combat System. Dungeon will return when I can think of a good use for it that doesn't also result in another five years of work being added to my plate :P
i hope in next update veronica and madison have new fun in the school (the war version) or maybe the next act 4 is coming ,and if something happened to them I'M GONNA HUNT YOU FIRST, Arc :)
Not in the next update, but soon! :) Madison and Veronica have a lot of content coming, so it's only fair that other characters get to have some events of their own first.
glad to hear that's , and yeah i have so much fun with your game and i like it so much , this the second time i play again after the mini game battle not coming out yet , and now thats does have it 🗿🛐 , thanks you for the awesome game Arc
oh ya Arc , i know thats mc mother is not dead yet 🧐 , but tell me if there his mom will have sex scane with his son soon or have any scane with her? I wanted to meet her , and about that's rat Tom , can i kill thats dude?? 🗿😪
Where can i donate mangoes 🥭 to brive you in return Hatsume sooner?
Leave them in a large, unmarked carton under the first bench on your right as you enter the closest park to your house. I'll find them...
is he free version the full game ore not
Game’s not finished yet.
The free version is the exact same as the supporter version, just that it releases one week after.
oke
I have never heard such a amazing menu music in my entire life. I didnt even begin the game yet tbh. xD
Why can't i talk to veronica to increase progress for madison?
I would assume because you've already done that and now you need to talk to Madison.
But when i talk to madison, it only shows the exit/ stop talking button and nothing els
Although this really isn't a rush, when will you update the gallery? I assume at the end of act 3?
At the moment my focus is on creating new content, and I advise everyone to keep a spare save in Act Two so they can replay the repeatable non-Gallery content. But it's definitely on my to-do list, and once all the important stuff is in I'll beginning adding the Act Two repeatable scenes to the Gallery! :)
I just checked on two different machines and the download is working correctly. Do not ask for repacks of the game - you are opening yourself up to potential viral infections.
If the download link continues to not work for you, try downloading from alternate official sources such as Patreon and Subscribestar.
Is there a way to level up our dice or generally make the boss fights easier without cheating?
capture the bridge location, scout it out at night, and you will gain access to something that will help you
Thank you.
Not sure why you got downvoted because it's a perfectly valid question. Drendy covered how to upgrade your dice, but also remember to make sure of the "Personal Meals" that Hana offers in the Manor kitchen :)
Yeah I have no clue either. I do already use the meals but thank you anyway!
Came for the porn (no pun intended) but stayed for the story. idk why but this game rlly gripped me but I will say one thing if ANYTHING happens to my kids I will come after you Arc :)
Well I hope you cleaned up after yourself after you decided to stay ;)
Thanks for the kind words, and I'm glad you're enjoying the game! The kids are totally safe, don't worry *coughs*fornow*coughs*
Whenever I press start on the main menu it goes black then crashes. It happened to me a couple of updates ago and people said it got fixed in the next one but still I got nothing. I'm on android btw
Could be that your phone needs a full reset (power down, don't just restart), or that you don't have the correct graphics drivers/codecs installed, or that you don't have enough storage space available to run it, or that your hardware is simply incompatible with Ren'py games (which is sadly a possibility).
What graphic driver would I need?
Your phone should keep all your drivers up to date automatically, provided you're actually updating your software when it tells you to (many people don't, which is a huge mistake) :)
In v0.19.7 character titles were temporarily removed. I want to know, when will character titles be added back?
It's not a priority at the moment, and the titles were rather universally disliked. If and when they're brought back they'll be toggleable in the Preferences :P
Ok so i got something for you mister developer, and i hope to god you'll see this cause i got an idea on how the final true power of the player should be called and how i think it would work based on your info so far about it.

However many times he uses control, he can bend someone only so far, and if the victim is strong, the effect has even less efficiency, that being why he cant control Morgana, she's too strong, and Pixie being a so called mistake probably means that she isnt very strong, which is why the character can control her from the start. So to sum it up, when the character uses "control" on a victim he can bend their circle and as he uses control (ill stop typing "control" like this cause it takes too much time and i got a lot to say) more and more he can bend the circle more, but only if he surpasses the victim in power by quite a big scale (by power i mean magical power and yes normal humans that cant use magic still have magical power, thing of it as their willpower).
Act II:
Here things get interesting, because after being far away from Pixie in the Organization hideout the character breaks through a part of the limiter artifact thing and can now use 2 different powers. One being "Shatter" (which as gramps says is a subdivision of the character's true power, remember this because its important) and the other one being "Awaken" (which as i see it it is a buffed down version of the character's true power and it also has the need to know a strong aspect about the victim)
So first, shatter. As i understand, shatter works like this. So, the character uses a lot of brute magical strength and then his power goes in the victim's conciousness and it completely erases the circle (meaning it destroys the mind of the victim, making them a doll or robot). And, as we see in Chloe's case, with enough strength and if the character far outshines the victim in magic power he can completely erase the circle, but if the power of the character and the victim are more matched, then the character can only erase parts or the circle, or rather it cant completely erase it, like when you swipe your eraser over a drawing and you can still see the drawing a bit. And if the character doesnt have or doesnt use enough strength then he cant do anything to the victim. And after he uses shatter, the conciousness becomes empty (if the circle is completely erased) or theres more space (if the circle still is slightly present) and then the character can input a new shape into the conciousness that he can pilot and make it do as he wants, and he has complete control over the shape he makes, but this means he literally makes the victim a robot or mindless doll that can only do as asked of the character. If theres still a part of the past self of the victim, that that part can still do some normal things like feel certain emotions, but it doesnt have enough power to actually do something against the character (if the shatter is succesfull, even if only slightly). Later, when the fey assassin goes inside Chloe, now the assassin can control Chloe more and can even make her say things, but still she cant make her do something against the character, meaning that when she entered her body, she went into the conciousness and empowered whatever small remains of Chloe's erased circle there still were, but she wasnt stronger than the character, and so she cant freely pilot Chloe's body.
And now, awaken. This one is more interesting. Ok, so, now i want you to imagine the circle split into many parts, some big and some very small, those parts being the needs and wants of the victim, or their desires. A bigger desire means a bigger part of the circle it occupies. And for the character to use awaken he needs to find the biggest part of the circle and know what it represents. And then he uses awaken on a victim and the power goes inside the conciousness. There, it "makes a deal" with the conciousness that in exchange for satisfying that part of the circle, the conciousness gives full control to the awaken power (and so the character) of that part of the circle. And then the awaken power corrupts that part, and as the character satisfies that part of the circle more, the corruption grows and occupies more of the circle. But this is still a slow process, not as powerful or fast as the final true power the character has. More magical strength put into the awaken power means more control over that part of the circle, and in Gwen's case, the character used full power, and so he didnt need to know her biggest desire cause his power was so overwhelming the conciousness gave full control of the whole circle to the character. But that needs him to use his full strength, and even if he does, he couldnt do what he did to Gwen to a stronger person like Morgana.
Now guess what, IM FINALLY DONE EXPLAINING ALL THE BORING BULLSH........ *Cough cough*. What i was trying to say is that now that im done explaining the power of the character as we have seen it so far, now i can get to my idea on how the final true power of the character should be named, and what it should do and work like.
Ok then, to the good part we go.
So, the final power (in my opinion) should be called "Corrupt", you'll see exactly why when i explain what it does. It also is cool that it fits with the name of the game "Corrupted Kingdoms".
So, what is corrupt. Well. Ohh boy this is gonna be a long one. So, first ill explain how i imagine the character gains this power. What i think is that at the end of the war the character has to fight "Morgana", "The Organisation" and "The Eldritch" at the same time (they team up or something to get rid of the character, since they all want that now). And as he at first looses the battle, Gramps comes in the play like at the end of act 2 and instead of scaring away everybody, he keeps them at bay but says: "I dont want to get directly involved in this, so I wont fight you. " Then, he takes the artifact out of the Character and says: "You are ready boy, i believe you can control your power now and so, go ahead and show them what you're capable of, give them hell!" and he then flies away, leaving an artifactless character on the ground as his power starts to flow into his body, overwhelming him at first. But, as the Organisation boss goes up to the character to check if he is dead, the character burst with a strong light and after his allies and enemies are able to see once again, they see him flying in the air, a big smirk on his face and then they hear a loud voice in their head saying: "Finally, my power is now truly mine. I can feel it coursing through me, its so much i feel like im a god now." and then he points his finger to his closest enemy, the boss of the organisation and he shouts: "CORRUPT". Then, a black and purple light shoots out of his finger and goes inside the boss of the organisation's mind (which i dont remember the name of and so ill call him Max, i dont know, its the first name that came to mind, and it sounds kinda menacing i guess.....) Then, after a second Max kneels down and says: "I live to serve you my lord, i will obey any order you give me." Then he looks up to his master, the character, with an evil smirk and says: "Do you wish for me to kill these plebians that dare oppose you my master?" Then the Character says: "No, my subject. But i do have a task for you. Go among my allies and protect them with your life, and order your troops to do so aswell (troops being the whole organisation which of course are there since thats why they are strong, they have strength in numbers and tech) (Side Note: I will assume the fact that after the character gains his strength he somehow magically already knows how it works and stuff like that so i can simplify things a bit. Also, ill finish the story then ill explain how i think corrupt should work). Then Max orders his troops to circle all of the allies of the character, but they try to fight back because they want to accompany the character, believing he isnt strong enough to take everyone down by himself (and how wrong they are). Among the crowd Gwen says: "My Love! Please let us help you! You cant take them down alone! Please, ill give my life so you can win, but please let me do so! (i know Gwen is in a wheelchair, but i think she's still be there even if she cant fight, she couldnt allow herself to not accompany the character in what she still thinks may be his last moments, because she believes he doesnt have a chance at winning). Then Max angrily says: "How dare you impose the fact that master cant win! He is allpowerfull, allknowing and a god that walks among us lowlives! Everyone should bow down to him, and they will after he shows them his majestic power as he has shown me, he will show them the light and they will bend to his will! He Will Win!" And then the character says: "Silence! I do not want my subjects to fight among themselves! You shall see that i will win this, and i will alone, i do not want to put you in harms way anymore than i have done already Gwen and everybody else. Now watch on and see how my true power takes down my foes!". Then, the crowd starts cheering on the character as they now believe in his strength. Then, Morgana and the Eldritch jump up towards the character trying to attack him, and he teleports from their way, leaving them to attack each other. Then, he says in a commanding and menacing voice: "These lowlives believe they can fight me, how foolish. I shall show you the light and bring you to salvation, as i am a merciful god. Now then, CORRUPT!" He shouts out and then two more black and purple lights shoot out of his hands and enter the bodies of both Morgana and the Eldritch, and after a few second of the character pushing his power inside them, they finally break and then they kneel infront of them, both saying at the same time: "We have been brought to salvation, our lord. We see we have been foolish to oppose you, if you wish we shall take our lives as repentance for our foolish behavior" Then both Morgana and the Eldritch bring their hands to their chests towards their hearts and wait for their lords response. The character then says in a commanding loud tone: "No, my subjects. You have been foolish, yes. And you have brought me pain, yes, but i am merciful, i forgive mistakes as long as you serve me and never oppose me again." then both Morgana and the Eldritch look up at the character and say on queue: "We shall our lord! We will repent our whole lives and serve you with our very own being! We will make sure no one ever opposes you ever again! How merciful and forgiving of you to let us server you, we will give our all to bringing only joy to you!" and then they bow again. And yeah, thats how i picture the last fight ending. It is to my liking because i really love a short fight where the main character just obliderates his enemy. This is my style so yeah. So, now to get to how corrupt works.
Well, picture it like this. First, as i said, when the character casts corrupt a black and purple light shoots out of his hand and enters the body of the victim. Then, it goes to their conciousness. (Side note, im lazy, so ill explain how this power works only at full strength. I even have an excuse for it. The character can only use Corrupt when he uses all of his strength, otherwise he can only use his previous powers. Yup, thats why) And then we reach the circle. There, the magical power of the corrupt power of the character completely takes over the circle, shaping and molding itself around it. Then, it destroys the circle and then the corrupt energy power replaces it, remaining in the same shape but it also gives the character the ability to mold it to his will, in whatever way he wishes, but it being the same shape as the original circle means that the victim still acts as itself, only it serves the character with all of their being. As we saw at the awaken power, the reason for this being that now all of the circle represents only one desire, serving the character.
Thats it. Thats how i see the final true power of the character being introduced, being named and also how i see it working. I hope to god the creator will see this, i really loved your game man and i hope youll at least read my idea. Maybe even consider taking notes from it........ if it isnt too much to hope...... yeah you get it. Alright, my fingers hurt like hell so thats it folks. Hope you like my idea. Peace out!

Anybody else having a problem with downloading? I've tried twice but there's something wrong with my download speed
Someone on the Discord server (maybe you?) was saying that Itch downloads were behaving weirdly for them, too. Might be that Itch's server had the hiccups - try the Patreon or Subscribestar links if Itch still isn't working for you :)
Thanks for the help and no, that wasn't me. I don't go on discord
"Corrupted kingdoms was closed because this app has an error"
any solution?
Unfortunately I don't speak that language so I don't know what the error message actually is. Could be a lack of storage space, could be a corrupted download, could be your phone is out of date or is running incompatible hardware or could be that your phone needs to be fully powered down and restarted.
Thanks for the translation! :)
Sounds like you're running a translated version perhaps, NERDYNERDY. Those aren't official and I can't provide either support or fixes for them, I'm afraid.
Boys and girls, haven't played game for a year or so
At that moment there were no scenes with Morgana(is it her name? our first antagonist) except the one where she was having a good time on her throne. Are there any more content with this lady today?
nope might come in a couple of updates since more content should be added in the war arc and that's the arc we are in
I’d say there’s still quite a wait to get it on with the tree bitch.
Mainly because she’s sort of like a main boss.
She won’t go down easily, nor soon.
How do I unlock Roxy and Chloe last clothing?
For roxy you need to go with her on a trip to the base after you already completed everything, you can find a cloth dispenser there that unlocks the military outfit
for chloe idk
Chloe's is her Halloween costume. Find her with your room decorated for Halloween and watch the scene with her and Alice.
Hey, when I updated my game I lost my entire gallery and it would be nice to have the new scenes in the gallery for a change, thanks anyway.
There’s a cheat in the laptop to unlock the gallery.
And initially the gallery was only for non-repeatable scenes.
But now technically all of the act 2 scenes are non repeatable…
It isn’t a priority to put all the scenes in the gallery, so that’ll happen later.
Thank you! Helps a lot!
joiplay cant RUN
... check your suscribestar page(make sure to look at it as a potential player (e.g.: don't login as owner), there has been a habit of setting the public release under lock and key. I know it is available elsewhere but, I thought you would like to know........ ("A bridge of learning" EXAMPLE ) (and several more)
That has happened a few times, no one really bothered to report that mishap.
Either way, not like it matters now since 0.20.1 went public and the 0.20.0 links go down when that happens. As do any other older versions.
Let’s just hope it doesn’t happen too often if the future.
I understand your viewpoint but if it is not brought to attention, it could happen in succession, luckily there are sites like this. I just hope Arc is able to read it and realize the error and not have it be repeated.
When next update?? :"v
Public releases will now be the Monday after the supporter release.
Meaning that 0.20.2 will come the 23rd this month.
And for the record, Arc. You could’ve made like a public announcement in regards of the schedule change. There are some folks that still don’t know you’ve gone bi-weekly.
Won’t expect you to do that each time you take a break, but I also don’t expect you to change the scheduling too often. This is a relatively major change.
And yeah. My PSA ain’t worth shit since people won’t scroll down.
People also don’t read the entire patchnotes.
I know I don’t read the bottom bit most of the time because it’s often summarised into “Updates continue as normal” i.e next week or so.
Because as we've seen, people totally read my announcement posts and never ask questions on things I have publicly announced :P
