    Hey, thank you for keeping the conversation about a game on track :) Yes, it's a choice given to the player, not an attempt to rewrite history :)

    I understand this is a long thread, so I'm happy to re-address any specific examples where people think the game is pushing an ideology, and not being what it claims to be: - an immersive and innovative - text-based - choice-making - dice-rolling - role-playing game - about two siblings - set in...

    Hello everyone, Sacred Fire - Act 2 Is Here - a free update to the Sacred Fire Early Access build, is out now on Steam and GoG, doubling the play-trough length. There is also a 25% sale on Steam. What you can expect from the second act? Before we get into (minor) spoiler territory, here's...

    KickStarter Sacred Fire - a psychological RPG about romance, loyalty and revenge - now available on Early Access

    Well, luckily everyone can play the free demo and make up their own mind :) Some people are having a blast, e.g. here is a review from a player who owns over 2,500 games and almost never writes reviews: If you already played the game, and liked the new experience, please consider voting for...

    Please reach out to me via the Kickstarter internal messaging, there I can immediately see your baker e-mail and the key associated with it and address any mix-up that's happened. Thank you for your patience.

    Yes it does. While I acknowledge there is a deep satisfaction to be found in organizing things neatly :), a traditional drag and drop inventory with slots didn't really feel right for the game. Instead you select an item category and flip trough the available visual options with the green...

    Thank you for your feedback, I'm evaluating the experience people are having, and yes this is a reoccurring theme, so I'll think about how to best address that.

    Martyr Excellent, thank you!

    Fair point, the skin tone is darker than typical - this study's conclusion seems to be there is a 1:500 chance a mixed couple's child will look completely like one of the parents. But I agree - as currently implemented, it's left to the player, be it an enthusiast or not, to use that...

    Yes, happy to confirm, the whole one man team agrees customized facial hair is an integral part of being able to immerse yourself into a role :) Feel free to post pictures, because a lot can be lost in translation here :)

    I will use spoiler tags, but it's nothing major, I did already talk about these things openly - so the two endings we already pre-shadowed are: So that kind of different endings.

    Yeah, no worries, there will be no changes made based to the default experience on feedback like that. For the success to feel real, the possibility of failing must be real too. But I do get out of my way, both in writing and in game mechanics, to give players that care enough to think, a way...

    Also thank you everyone who enjoyed the game for letting me know and for leaving feedback, I appreciate it.

    There are 5 distinct endings planned. You can get captured by Romans at a point later in the story. Yes, beauty is not only a positive thing, it's also captured in the game mechanics - it influences your relationships starting states - some character of opposite sex do have more sympathy...
