Kortia Chapter 3 - Illustrations and how to get them

Once at the fountain, go to main street and follow Alexis to the tavern, there you’ll meet him and illu.

Once you’re back from the tavern, go to the side street and choose to bargain some more. In the end, tell him it’s not meaningless then grab his hand and illu.

Kortia ep. 2 spoiler

If we choose to stay with Jack and refuse going with Dyclos, we get to find out the name of Kor’s daughter and the name of Alexis’ father! I forgot to screenshot Kor’s moment, but his daughter’s name is Zaria. Anyway, have an badly cropped screenshot of Lord Summerset’s name “””reveal”””.

Tfw you go on patrol with one of the Kortian Empire’s most beloved knights in order to protect the heir to the Summerset Duchy, but he just stands there looking pretty.

did you see what serena and MJ said about you from dulcet games?

Yes, I saw. I didn't want to get into it, but the person who made that post censored everyone's names but mine (?), so I've been receiving several messages, and now I feel compelled to reply at least once. I'm putting this under spoiler so people who don't want to read drama can easily skip.

(For context, since I'm sure more people are going to ask me what this is about, you can see it for yourself here.)

I'm not going to address all the accusations Serena and MJ received because frankly it's their business. Everything looks pretty bad, but it's also true that screenshots taken out of context can be manipulated to fit some narrative. Granted, there are A LOT, so it's not very likely (the part about deporting and killing immigrants while at the same time thanking countries for the cheap labour they provide for their business particularly upset me, being an immigrant myself), but one never knows and everyone has the right to defend themselves.

The things that are indeed my business, are the comments on me, my friends and our discord server.

In the part about our discord, they are saying that we are "toxic, make shit up and create rumours" which leaves me very perplexed. People who have spent 5 minutes in there or here on my blog know how much I hate fake news, so I would absolutely never condone something like that in my own server. Also, MJ was in there for quite some time and never intervened to say anything about it, so I really don't know why they would think this of us. Moreover, the Dulcet Games channel is quite dead, it's mostly the place where my friends gush about Kortia, they are big fan of the game (which MJ also admits and Serena goes "cool let's just take their money" lol.)

Serena has never been in my server (at least not that I know of), so how can she call it toxic I have no idea. But she has the tendency of commenting on things without having any clue about them, and this brings me to the second point: the comment MJ made about me entering a channel just to reply to some old stuff.

First of all "old" in this case means 3 days old, lol. Discord usually shows slightly older conversations when you access a channel you hadn't accessed in a while, so I ended up seeing a convo where Serena said something along the lines of "MCL LL is just p0rn, Candy has sex every other chapter." (not exact quote)

Anyone who has played the game knows that it's not true, so I pointed it out, along with the fact that it's not very professional for the coo of a company to spread false information about a concurrent company (see my hate for fake news) . Yes I did it 3 days later, not 3 months nor 3 years, but days. I was accused of fishing old conversations just for drama, but Serena seemed to understand my point, although she commented saying that she never played that season of the game and that people don't go on DG server looking for correct info on MCL... which still doesn't justify the spread of fake info? But I let it drop and no drama came out of it. And in the end I wasn't active in their server anyway because of how offensive they'd always been towards Beemoov's games and players, which is primarily my fandom, so I often felt quite uncomfortable.

This is pretty much it. I'm also tagging @dulcetgames not because I'm asking for a reply, but because I never say anything I wouldn't have the guts to say to people directly, and I don't know Serena and MJ's current personal accounts.

Kortia thoughts

Recently I’ve played Kortia and I want to resume my thoughts on that game. I like it A LOT and I need more and I’ll just blow up if I don’t say anything! I’m not good at English but that won’t stop me)))

Beware the spoilers!

So, no order only impressions:

It’s complex! I can see how much work was put into it! The world is deep, rich with history and distinctive. Cons to it: too much lore in first chapters. I have played it about 8 times (maybe more)) and still I can’t properly remember everything MC’d learned. Poor MC…

But I’m looking forward to more revelations! The story is intriguing and has just the right proportion of facts vs myth. I like when MC need to find what they supposed to do instead of knowing their purpose from the start. Let there be mystery!

Actually I found out our protagonist a bit strange. MC talks a lot about isekai anime and manga so I assume they somewhat has an example to follow. But they proceed to behave like a person from our world! You are in a fantasy medieval society where wrong word or even stare can lead to death! (At least that’s what I learn from isekai and historical novels. And Dyclos is a good example of it.) You are a poor farmer, literally nobody, and first thing you do after waking up in an unfamiliar place is to fight with your landlord? MC do you actually has self-preservation instincts?!

I don’t mean Vallauria is functioning same way as our world (or any fiction world). But our MC has only vague memories from other person’s brain and it seems these memories include mostly names or geographical titles. Is it really wise to act on impulse in a situation like that? Also MC got comfortable with strangers (Jack and Gerald) way too fast. Like they’ve already been friends for quite some time. (But maybe I’m too antisocial)))

Still I like the way MC depicted. They have a personality and (a bit of) backstory – something MCs from other games lacking.

And I am in love with choices! Choices that actually matter and are equally interesting to explore. A lot of games I’ve played have only one path to explore. Everything besides that is empty or even sort of punishment for player for wrong choice. But in Kortia every player’s action is leading to a new outcome that matters. Players will see different parts of story based on their preferences. Wow… Good job!

Some minor dialogues seem too repetitive like one with Byrus in the beginning of the game. And Byrus’ accent… I had a really hard time trying to understand him (but as I said English is not my first language). Aside from that narration is quite good. First chapters were easy to read and understand and I don’t want to skip everything while replaying.

I'm still getting to know other characters. I’d like to see more interactions before make an opinion on them. So far I definitely like Jack! He is friendly, nice, cares about people’s lives and tells stories – I appreciate all of this.

Kor is intriguing. Is he a legend or is he a red herring?) But it’s too early to make solid theories (but I have a bunch!)))

Lady Byrathes is suspicious. MC somehow heard her thoughts – is it MC’s magic or hers or something else? Also Lady gave protagonist very suspicious book. I wonder what it all means…

Dyclos… errr… He is bloodthirsty. What else he has? My MC was very scared of him both in dream and in reality.

Kortia is a very special game. So interesting, well-thought, fun… I feel addicted))) I want more and more and more! Thanks for that beautiful piece of art.

As bonus: my favorite cg. It always makes me smile. Oh, that Goddes’ face! It’s like “You, insolent creature! I will smack your head with this orb!” (:

SIR I'M- 😳😳

[username-janai-katsura-da]

KORTIA CHAPTER 2:

I'm a bit late this time but I finally played the second chapter of Kortia:

Overall I enjoyed it. It was a bit short like the first one but I don't really mind since they're only introducing the characters.

We had a bit of action when fighting the monster and some explanations about the world we're in and it conflicts (but to be honest it was maybe a bit too much at the same time, I didn't memorize any of the countries/cities names). I'm really intrigued about why the letter was in the Lord Summerset's office and who is this 'savior' they're all talking about.

I just LOVED Kor's introductions ! The way he roasted Dyclos (that I hate with a burning passion by the way) was hilarious and he's also really badass to manage to fight him. I was 100% certain to play Gerald's route on my main account but I'm not so sure anymore. Speaking of Gerald, his personality is a bit different than what I imagined (not in a bad way), I thought he'd be more of an asshole but in the end he's just a depressed boy with a soft side, I love him.

I managed to have all 3 illustrations and they're beautiful, I can't choose wich one I prefere (plus our Adventurer is really cute)

Now, the negative points of the chapter:

I'm not a huge fan of our character's personality, they're too naive. I mean, they should be scared, questioning what the hell is happening, thinking about their family or anything but no, it just looks like they're on vacations, all they think about is 'lol i'm an anime protagonist now' and that's it, they don't care about anything.

What do you mean it's "the life you had always wanted to live" ? CAN YOU AT LEAST BE A LITTLE BIT CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR SITUATION ?

Also, there is way too many jokes about anime and manga. I know most of us are weebs so it can be funny from time to time but when our character repeat five times each chapters things like "it's just like in my manga" it starts to get annoying.

*cries in Subaru from Re:zero*

I can also say that I'm still not sure that the AP system is good for new players. I've been login in since the begining of Sweet elite so I have enough energy to play both games at the same times but 5 AP per day for two games is way to little and I hope that the team will listen to us and do something about it. Also, the bug with pronoun is still here, like last time they weren't the good one, the characters refered to me as he/him instead of she/her.

Except that, i'm looking forward to play the next chapter and see where the story goes !

[username-janai-katsura-da]

KORTIA CHAPTER 1

So I finally played Kortia's first chapter and I loved it !

The story is really interesting, I wonder why the King summoned us of all people and how we are going to save everyone (or not lol, I plan to be a hero on my main account, neutral on another and the biggest bitch on earth on my third I already killed Florus I'm so sorry sweetie but I wanted the illustration)

The only thing that bother me is the fact that the AP are the same for both games: it's impossible to play both Kortia and SE when you're a new player (especially since just one choice cost 10 energy and we only have 5 every day). I think it would be better to either have more AP per day (like 15 or something) or having a different system for each games (with maybe a feature that allow us to convert our AP from one game to another ?)

Also, the game automaticaly choose my pronouns, I thought we could choose ourself like in Sweet elite ?

Except that, I'm really excited to play the next chapter and meet my boys Gerald and Kor 👀

I'm not even sure if Kor is a potential love interest ? The devs said there were 6 crush but Kor is in the Love Interest page too so idk

[cinawomo]

Guess I forgot to update this... Anyway, @whatismyown ‘s answer is pretty much on point! We couldn’t figure out whether it was a bug or not, but the MC and Gerald illustration was automatically unlocked after the Gerald illu (there’s some dialogue between them). It might have something to do with your answer about flowers (I chose the favorable one).

Hey, has anyone been able to get all 3 illustrations? I’ve played ep 2 about 4 times, but only got the Dickhead Dyclos and Kor one. It might have been my choices, though...
