Beta Update 0.4.5 (Obliviate)
Hey everyone! Time for a fresh update!
We're happy to finally be back to our normal routine and resume working on our project. However, due to a chaotic past month, today's update will be a little unusual.
For our "Student" tier subscribers, version 0.4.3.5 (Nox) is becoming available today. It includes all the Journey mode fixes made for the 0.4.5 (Obliviate) version:
- Card Discard: Discard unwanted cards to gain 1 mana.
- Card Draw: Draw additional cards for 2 mana.
- Deck Builder: A new feature allowing you to create custom decks from your unlocked cards.
- Post-Adventure Unlock: Unlock one card encountered during an adventure for use in the Deck Builder.
- UI Overhaul: Reworked the adventure preparation screen and the equipment selection panel.
- Equipment Rework: Each piece of equipment now contains fewer cards but provides a unique effect that can modify your stats or game mechanics.
- Recipe Drops: Equipment recipe items can now drop during battles.
- Recipe Tracking: Once you find a recipe, information about it will appear in the equipment selection panel.
- Crafting: After finding a recipe, you can craft the corresponding item and use it in future adventures.
- Card Elements: Each card now has its own 'element'. Your equipment can affect the efficiency of different elements.
- Combat UI Widget: A special widget has been added to the combat interface to display effects from equipped items.
- Censor Option: A 'Censor' option has been added to the settings: enabling it will skip all 18+ scenes. (Skipped scenes can be viewed later in the Pensieve).
Also included are some minor fixes:
- Now, in the character window, any influence you have on their personality is displayed as '+' to avoid confusion. You are simply tipping the scales of their personality one way or the other.
- Fixed an issue with animation selection in the Elf Monk scene.
- Fixed a bug that broke the save panel if you had a very old save file.
- Fixed several errors in dialogue attribution pointed out by players.
- Fixed the non-functional help button in the adventure window.
- Fixed the ability to open the in-game menu during combat.
For our "Magister" tier subscribers, version 0.4.5 (Obliviate) is available starting today. It includes all the fixes described above, plus new content:
- Continuation of the cultist storyline.
- New enemy: Vampire Bard.
- New victory scene.
- A quest for Elizabeth.
- A quest for the Draconic character.
Starting next week, we'll begin working on the romance arcs for our characters. Additionally, we've finally started tackling the overhaul of the game's user interface.
The itch.io version will be updated later, due to changes in our update release process. We believe that people supporting us through subscription services deserve to get updates earlier—so the itch.io version will be updated 1-2 weeks later.
Thank you for your support and feedback – you give us the strength to continue development.

Hey there, Wild Pears!
I played this game last in October on v. 0.2.6.3.
I remember loving it, the setting and the art were amazing and the gameplay was a refreshing change to most other games.
At the time I had finished all available content and I am wondering if there is a way to keep my last saves or somehow skip some of the initial content that I have already played?
Would be a shame to have to start all over.
Thank you and keep up the great work!
Hi. We support save compatibility starting from version 0.2.
This means you can simply download the new version and load your save—you shouldn't miss any content.
Thank you, it worked perfectly.
The new journey mode is much better btw!
