Here’s the new content and game update, with about 15k words added to the story and a few new features. Please note that your saves will likely not work, so you’ll have to start from the beginning! Sorry about the inconvenience. Also, be mindful to not skip the first page too quickly, since this is now where you enter your character’s name (with the new handy dandy name suggestions!). Also, know that most of the new content is just the charisma branch of the beginning of chapter 2. To access it, you need to pick charisma as your main ability when Lady Domara asks you what you want to focus on. Otherwise, you’ll have to wait for future updates for the other branches. I plan to release the intelligence branch in mid-April and if I can manage, the martial prowess branch at the end of April. The guile branch will be last and hopefully released mid-may. But I might be a little ambitious, we’ll see!

Here is the full list of the new features:

• New content: the beginning of chapter 2, with the charisma branch
• Some improvements to the game overall design, I hope you’ll enjoy it!
• Some changes to the name selection for your character: it is now on the first page and you also have some name suggestions to pick from or take inspiration from
• Added a ‘settings’ section. This is where you’ll be able to change from light mode to dark mode and vice-versa, as well as choose to show character trait tags in choices.
• In the ‘settings’ section, added the possibility to switch to a sans-serif font, which hopefully will be easier to read for dyslexic people. If it’s not cutting it, please let me know!
• You will now be able to change and customize your pronouns and gender at any time (after the first gender picking choice in the game) in the settings.

Hopefully, I’m not forgetting anything, lol. If you encounter a bug, an inconsistency, anything that doesn’t seem to work as intended, please let me know!
