A downloadable novel for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
Episode IV: Bound in Twilight - Release 1 is now available for download!
Embark on an epic journey through both traditional and fantasy worlds. Unveil the magic and intrigue of our episodic power fantasy visual novel, currently in active development. Experience the entire First Episode, "Inheritance," through an engaging free demo!
Step into the rich tapestry of creation, where diverse realms interweave. Each realm, governed by its own deities and spirits, was once guided by ancient laws. But time has seen even the mightiest deities depart, leaving a void that strains the fabric of existence.
As realms are left to fend for themselves, the balance that sustains the cycle begins to falter. Cracks emerge, and those who ascend find themselves tumbling through the fractures that remain.
Among these fractured realms, the ancient Earthen realm stands as a linchpin. Mysterious vanishings ripple across the world, concealed by conspiracy theories and wild assumptions. But as fractures spread and chaos escalates, can these explanations endure?
Join Aaron Stevens (name customizable) as he delves into his uncle's mysterious passing and a closely guarded ancestral secret. Forge new alliances, rekindle old flames, and navigate the intricate landscapes of the Earthen Realm and the fantastical realm of Arboria.

do u plan to fix the save issue
I was informed of a save issue in the Android version on Wednesday that seems interface-related. I should have that corrected by the 0.4 release for Android users as I'm changing the overall interface to allow for an Episode Selector and Replay Gallery. If there is a different issue with saves in the PC or MAC version please let me know.
Thank you!
ty for answering i most certainly will
Hey dev, still no news from Steam? I'm waiting to buy the game there!
I feel like the standard statement waiting on Steam at this point is going to be as soon as possible. I've had to make some changes and they've pushed it back twice. As soon as it's approved on Steam I will make an announcement here as well as the other socials.
I appreciate your patience!
why is the public ones locked
Great new update it didnt crash on me this time loved it cant wait for the next update.
Hey there! I'm glad it worked properly for you! Unfortunately, I was calling the images improperly in the original version so it was causing a pretty large memory leak. While I didn't notice on my system it was causing pretty big problems with mobile devices. I'm hopeful I won't break it in this way again and I'm very happy you enjoyed the update, should have another one coming in 4-6 weeks :)
really i have no clue what that means but im assuming thats what was causing the crashes?Glad it was fixed and i cant wait for the next update im looking foward to it.Keep up the great work.
Is this the version 0.2.1 or 0.2.2? I'm bit confused 🤔
Hey there!
I'm sorry for any confusion, the version uploaded here as of yesterday is 0.2.1 which is the most recent that Patrons had. I'm working on 0.2.2 and will filter down to patrons in the next two weeks (once I finish it up).
I hope this clears things up!
Thanks for the clarification. If I buy the game now, do I get the future updates, or do I need to buy each update separately?
Thanks in advance.
Heya!
The way the system in Itch works is based upon purchase in general. So you will get all future updates if you purchase through Itch. I plan on releasing updates on a roughly a 6-week schedule going forward.
Thank you!
If anyone was having issues with any versions of the game, the newest content is now available which should fix all known bugs. If you have any problems with the release please let me know!
The Android version of the Episode 2 download seems to be identical to the demo (same file size, which I only just noticed, but it also stops at the end of the demo and boots you back to the menu).
Strange, this is the first report of it so I'll dig in and correct it as soon as possible. I apologize for any inconvenience.
liking the game, will there be pregnancy added?
Hello there! Yes, pregnancy is planned toward the end of Season 1 there will be a time skip to allow for it. :)
Демо версия игры понравилось, хоть английское,всеравно понравилось)
Осталось только добавить Русский язык и будет идеально )
Hey there! I would love to add Russian, Mandarin, and Spanish as languages for the story. Unfortunately, I only speak English and as some have noticed I'm not even the best at that, thankfully Grammarly helps a lot. If there is anyone who would like to work with me on translations for the story I would be more than open, unfortunately, I cannot do paid positions at the moment but may be able to in the future.
Thank you for your comment!
loved the demo but got damn the game hasnt to much animations at one point it started crashing the app several times.just a little bit of feed back you should remove or give the option to remove some of the animations besides sex scenes.The game didnt run well at all.But great game so far loved what i played.
Thank you for the feedback! This is the first report of performance issues but I'll dig into it, right now all the animations are done through transitions so I'll see about converting the adult animations into videos and add an option to disable transitions sometime in the next episode or so.
youre welcome ill for be buying the updates or sub to your patreon.Yea the game wont even load my save it just crashes tried like 10 times already.by the way im on android i might just download it on my gaming laptop more power in that compared to my android operated laptop.But i mainly play on android for the most part
Thank you so much for the added details! I've been testing with a Pixel 6 and I'll see about testing on a few other devices to try and duplicate as I attempt to add the ability to disable transitions.
youre welcome and a pixel 6 might be much newer then the android laptop im using bought it like 5 years ago so that might be the issue as well your game might not work well on older androids or at least animations might not work well on older android devices.because i have been playing these types of games on my android laptop with for the most part no issues for yearsi just think its having a hard time running the animations.And thanks much appreciated im restart a fresh save hopfully it doesnt mess up and sorry for my horrible spelling.
It appears to be a memory leak.
it has to do with the camera angle's
somebody made a fix for it on 95 -post 92
Hey there!
Thank you so much for the information! I will go through and make the changes described in the post for the next release to hopefully fix the overall issues.
Just download the apk for Android and it said package invalid.
Hey there!
Sorry for the issue, this is the first it has been brought up to me. I'll take a look and get a fixed version to you as soon as possible.
~Virt
Thanks
The newest update should have fixed all issues with the Android releases, if anyone was having problems please try to reinstall.
Great. Amazing game.
awesome so far, can't wait for more :)
Lots of typos, it doesn't hinder comprehension, but it makes the whole thing less pleasing. So far the content is a bit lacking for my tastes. Makes perfect sense for an introduction though. I wish i had stumble on this game at a later stage. I'll follow it and see how this goes.
Thank you for the feedback!
The bug-fix version of the Demo is just about complete, this contains numerous spelling/grammar corrections as well as quality-of-life changes. All details will be in the changelog but I've added additional music, ambiance tracks, sound effects, and the ability to change the opacity of the text box.
In addition to the changes for the demo, renders are actively running for the remainder of the second day and I will be posting regular updates in Discord.
Thank you again for taking the time to leave a comment, I really appreciate it.
Thank you to everyone who has already checked out the game!
There has been one thing asked of me on Discord more than any others so I thought I would post here so everyone could see.
Spoilers!!!!
The main character will be getting a haircut on day 3...
Hi dev, a question, when you say this: "All sexual encounters within the novel will have the player's direct control allowing them to choose the level of interaction they want the other harem members to have with each other during the individual encounter."
Do you mean that the player controls other characters during those individual scenes, or that the player previously decides the type of interactions between them? (for example taking into account what you say I suppose that lesbianism and Bi Li can be avoided?) I
guess if the player has control over that, does that mean that other kinks/fetishes are avoidable (they don't happen in the story according to player choice)?
Thanks, good luck.
The player has full control over all aspects, everything can be avoided if the player chooses and if avoided it does not happen in the story.
Yes lesbian and bi love interests can be avoided, they can also be added to the harem and do nothing with the other harem members if the player chooses. This novel will focus on the interactions between the main character and the love interests and not between the love interests themselves.
For example, in a sexual scene with two love interests and the player will be presented an option for them to interact with each other. If the player selects no, they will simply wait their turn for the main character with no kissing, touching or other interactions between them.
There will never be a sexual interaction happening within the story that does not include the main character. I hope this provided you with the details you were looking for!
This...is....so.....awesome 💪👍
