Public update: Chapters 4 & 5 out now!

I'm happy to deliver a brand new public update that concluded the core story of act 1 by adding chapters 4 and 5. What you'll get to do in the new chapters:

Chase down the few remaining leads

Witness a calamity that shakes the city further into chaos

Stand face to face with a goddess (and possibly receive her blessing)

On top of that the demo now includes the up to this point Patreon exclusive side content including a mission with Paoni and an opportunity to witness a vision of the future. The new total word count for the demo is now slightly over 113 thousand words including code.

You can try the demo here:

With the main parts of act 1 concluded I will most likely use this chance to fill out the side content starting with most likely the opening to Mesar's and the werewolves side quests. Unless there's something else you think I should do first. Either way stay tuned and I hope you'll enjoy what this update has to offer. Sameless Patreon and Kofi plugs:

really enjoying this wip so far! I was just wondering if all the ROs can be romanced by any gender? :)

Yes, all ROs are romanceable by any gender or race. For some ROs certain parts of their pasts imply they might have some preferences, but locking these things wouldn't add anything to the story so I decided to let love be love. :)

Can you tell me what the if is about?

I'm going to try my best without going off on an overly long rant. The core premise and what has so far driven the plot of act 1 is a fantasy detective story set in a somewhat darker, almost post apocalyptic world. I really wanted to explore the concept of "going out with whimper" and how the people would deal with the uprooting of what has so far been taken as fact. What the story definitely isn't however is a whodunit. There are some mysteries, clues and quite a bit of investigative work, but you won't get to pick out the main culprit out of a lineup. The case is more of a tool that I can use to take the reader on a journey through what's left of the world and perhaps let them ultimately decide which parts of it to save. There will be a multitude of optional side stories the detective can go on with their own choices and endings that will help expand the world as well as provide gameplay perks and in some cases unlock companions to aid you in the main story.

There is a somewhat expansive stat system complemented by abilities and perks that make the game part of AGF more personal according to the player's vision of their detective. A lot of those systems I'm still tweaking in the background as it is something rather unique especially got a ChoiceScript game.

I hope this satisfies your curiosity. I know there's not that many specifics especially around the story, but I don't want to spoil things too much in that regard as despite the demo being 6 digits the story is barely starting and I'd hate to reveal too much too quickly when secrets and mysteries are a significant part of it.

If there are certain parts of the story or gameplay you'd like to know more about in specifics feel free to ask and I'll do my best to explain what I can.
