Not to be contrarian about other people's requests, but I really like that Elodie has marriage options but no romances as such -- it really sets the game apart from other similar sims where catching one cute boy or another is a big part of the point. Elodie is very young -- and she is not in circums...

More in-play story consequences for the special projects like the printing press. You have to move heaven and earth to get that thing and then it doesn't really do anything except have a minor impact on the ending. Seems like it wouldn't be too difficult to add a text event five weeks after getting ...

Late to the party, but: Woooooooooooooooooooooo!

This game really, really deserves it. So pleased.

I really like the guitar tracks that make up most of the soundtrack.

I see that they're by various different people. I'm curious: are they creative commons/public domain pieces, or part of a database you pay for general access to, or commissioned, or what?

Just about everything is spoiled in the endings thread. The basics are: To get Callum's path, talk to him instead of Oscar in the woods, be nice to him in general, and think of him in prison. The Dolores path is sort of an offshoot of the Callum path. To get Gaston or Nazagi you search their rooms, ...

Agh! Not the ambiguity! Not in the face!

I'm relieved! I got this ending, and I had the uneasy impression when Dolores left the room with Callum and then he returned without her that he might be just claiming she had gone off when in fact he'd done away with her himself.

You just turn him down when he proposes the concubine arrangement.

That is... not at all how I did it XD. Weird. I tried literally every combination of choices post-kidnapping and got stabbed every time, and then I went back to the very beginning (thank le bon dieu for fast-forward!) and did Callum's path as unromantically as possible, and that made the difference...

I went (and I suspect most people will go):

Oscar
Callum
Gaston
Nazagi

The one thing that tipped the scales for me Dolores wise, was telling her that being alone is a weakness. My problem was being too encouraging to Callum. You have to shut him down at every opportunity, even when Dolores isn't there, while still getting on his path by talking to him at the river. Fi...

her existence is the cause of everyone's problems. Yes, it's all Cass's fault for existing . Very selfish of her. Anyway, she does take direct action to oppose her parents and get you released from prison in a couple of different routes. She also shows no hesitation to shake things up when she disc...

Gah! Stabbed again! What can you do for Dolores, other than untie her? There just aren't that many interactions before her ending, and I've tried almost every variation from the "Untie her?" point already! Is there something crucial early on in the game? Do you have to give her the necklace instead ...

Dolores' route ... go pick apples Argh! I am trying and trying to get this ending, and she always just has me stabbed by the guards once I get to the rendezvous point. Her ending is after "Go Talk to Pherod" in Callum's route, right? You just have to have made the right choices beforehand? Or am I ...

Hm. You may want to play one of the other paths before dismissing certain possibilities as nothing but comedy.
