Hi there, sorry for delayed reply. Chapter 1 will be released to the Public at an affordable price shortly. Unfortunately, this game is complex and expensive to produce. I will not be able to continue production if there are insufficient funds to cover costs.
Hi there, we will try to make the game more accessible to other platforms and languages after the base game development is completed. We don't have a timeline for it yet.
I thought I bought the game here on itch.io but it ends right after they get to the town and the boys lock themselves in. Is this only the Demo? Do I have to do Patreon to get the actual game?
Hi there, thanks for interest. We will include Android and possibly translations in our future developments when the game is stable and completed. Right now, our priority is to get enough resources to complete the base game.
Amazing game! However, I have finished all the main and side quests, the images of Jostein (image16 of 17) and Erland (image 1 of 10) are still locked. I just wanna know if there's a bug, or did I miss something?
I replayed the Jostein quests, and this time Jostein 16 triggered. But I still dont know why. Does it relate to the bountiful harvest? Cuz I cant tell any difference than the first time except bountiful harvest.
BTW, the gut, social and passionate choices will impact chapter 1 ending, it means that there are more than 1 ending of the chapter 1?
Optional CGs are locked by attributes, relationship progress are locked by relationship stats. You can check out the spoiler sections in Discord for the different endings.
I played the demo version and I am absolutely gobsmacked how amazing this piece actually is, not to mention shining future for it. Also, I love how you interpreted Norse mythology into it, but with a twist.
Is the game already out or? Cause I would love to purchase/support it, if so, how can I do it?
Hi there! Thanks for your support and kind words:) We are developing the game by episodes, and patrons have early access to it (link above). You can consider joining if you wish to be involved in the development. Otherwise, you can wait to purchase the public release version when it is ready.
Thnx a lot for answering, I will definetly think about supporting this Game.
P.s. = Forgot to say in my upper post, story bit from the demo and its world&lore that we had glimpse of experiencing is truly best out there, hats down for actually putting time and effort into it.
Yeah I posted about this before, the Patreon button doesn't seem to appear on google chrome at least for me I had to open a new browser to see it and join the patreon. Hopefully the dev adds a second link on the post so people can find it easier and support this amazing game!
I've played it though twice now and still couldn't complete the "legal eagle" side quest and just realised it might be because I cant find Jorgen. so just wondering if I can get a bit of help finding him. Thanks
Hiya, 'Legal Eagle' is a hard quest. You need to collect clues from the 8 districts (there are none in the depot, but two in the Institute). These clues show up in specific locations and order (some show up as the 3rd event, some are the 12-13th event). Only 1 location event can take place a day, so some will only show up on the 12th or 13th day. My guess is that you might have neglected to explore some areas, or some are locked by other character's side quests. Jorgen's side quest 'vitality' can be initiated in the greenhouse. This quest is optional unless you are interested in romancing Henrik. You can also try asking in Discord, there are more people there to help you out. I won't be checking posts so often now to work on ch2.. :)
This game is absolutely beautiful! I love it so far though I got stuck because I have no more wood and can't find how to heat the bath or whatever or maybe I missed something? In any case, definitely following the progress of this one! I'm finally getting a job very soon, I'd love to support your project here!
You have to pick the wood again once it's used up! To heat the bath, you'll need ax, tub, wood, water, kettle, then boil it in the kitchen. If you're stuck, try asking for help in the Discord channel.
or it might just be the new update is only for patreons for now.... but even if it was the way your saying this game would be worth it cause its beautiful.
it is beautiful, but not everyone can afford patreon costs each month. for some saving up for a one time purchase is a bit easier then a monthly amount
if someone doesnt have the budget to give money for each build then its better if that person just pay once then after it cancels wait for 3 updates to go pass before paying again...orrrr just wait for the final upd. the patreon is only for early access so ur good.
Thanks for the feedback! I can't change the UI now cos the font is hardcoded. It will cause bugs and production delays. I can tweak those that are not (like the main quest pop up). I will probably relook the UI again after the series is completed.
Immediately subscribed to your patreon after playing the demo, your character models and CGs are really a step above and the writing really takes it to another level. I love how real each character feels in the setting and how they all operate on multiple levels of openness in their interactions. Already planning out my Ralf romance playthrough for my first shot even though my feminine traits are a little bit higher than my masculine ones.
On that note would it be possible to denote dialogue choices that are going to change traits for ease of replays? Just a thought, love what you've done so far and am looking forward to the next chapter!
I love how you create this world and push the story forward. So far, this story makes me feel like looking for a New Utopia in an anti-utopian world. Expecting whats going on! By the way, the pictures are so delicate that it is like watching a movie!
Sorry for the delayed response! Thanks for your support and interest. Please pardon me if I got your question wrong. Ergi Alfheimr chapter is scheduled to release this Friday on Patreon. Our programmer can only complete the QA by this week, thanks for your patience!
I wish I was financially able to support the development of this game. I enjoy the world building so far and the story that has been provided, especially with Mama, even brought a tear to my eye. It's great to have quality queer content being created.
I have a problem, I check every single day to see if you've announced when chapter 1 is coming, this game is the best I've played in years, great story, artwork, game-play. 10/10
Thanks so much for the support! The programming for the game engine will be done by tomorrow. Chapter 1 will be released in July as soon as alpha and beta testing is done:)
Hi there! Chapter 1 will be released on Patron. We are at the last leg of testing, and we'll try to get it out within a week if no major bugs come out during the testing.
Will the character appearance change when we get higher traits like Fitness, masculine, Feminine. Also will their be a way to change the mc hair if not that's fine. Ps. form the content we have you are stating strong keep up the good work.
Thanks for the support! I can make a tweak to the MC's default hairstyle in chapter 3, put up a poll in Patreon for the char design. The appearance will not change because of the traits, but there will be an alternate version to the MC in late game tied to specific game choices.
I also wanted to ask this as based off the current files of the guys. Many of them prefer the feminine trait with four to five potentials candidates which includes with as Henrik as any, two masculine, one fitness, and a none category. Can there maybe be a bit more balance for the traits as maybe femininity seems like like the highest account for these routes?
I'm afraid that at a stage when the characters have already been thought out, it would be unwise to change their preferences. You can change the course of events by adding some details, but changing one trait that is in harmony with the personality as a whole would oblige the author to rethink the character.
You could suggest introducing new characters, but I would be careful with such ideas, because there are already more than a dozen main characters and many more side characters. It's one thing to create a story along the lines of an anime - there are specific types who respond and act in a specific way. Everything is predictable. Here, however, the author creates his own template.
Although the decision to make such risky personality changes or add characters is up to the author anyway.
To me, the development of this game already looks like a highly ambitious madness, balancing on the verge of creating something between a utopian dream, introspective observation, and erotic fantasy. And I'm fascinated.
Hi there, the attribute preference is a bonus mechanism you will see in Chapters 2-3. It makes it easier to romance them if you are their type. It will be clearer once the game gets there.
Hi there, you can check out the character profiles under 'factions' in-game. Tyr, Kirk, Erland, Borge and Ralf are not hairy. I have public posts on Patreon too, if you want to know more about the characters.
This game has resonated so well with me, I've never expected to fall in love with it so much. I adore every detail you've put into this game. The storyline, the characters, and the rich atmosphere they're in. I simply adore all of it, and will be in the forefronts supporting this to its completion. You've earned another loyal supporter today!
Keep up the wonderful work you've created, I'm cheering for your success!
Hi KKchar I love your game and the story is so good and I also love Norse mythology and I will patiently wait for future updates of the game to come my only question is can the main character also romance mature older characters in the game besides the hot muscle guys featured in the poster that's my only question hope you will answer it
Hi Baralover, thanks for playing the game! Henrik (the guy in the white shirt second bottom-up) would have been the oldest in-game at about twice the age of MC. Older love interests might not be plausible as the story world conditions are harsh - people give birth and die young.
I got to play the Renpy version for the first time and I'm really impressed! Everything is an improvement with respect to the other version, and it works seamlessly. Only thing, the sound effect of when you put things into the inventory is a bit weird, and rather unpleasant.
Ah, and I'd add the Load button and the Main menu button in the string of commands at the bottom, currently there's just the Quick load (in addition to save and quick save, of course).
I know that in Renpy it's possible to name the save slots (useful if, like me, someone wants to pursue multiple routes). I don't seem to have found a way in the current version, is that implemented?
Hi Perles, thanks for all the earlier suggestions. The inventory sound effect was the same as Tyrano, but that can be easily fixed/replaced. Main menu to load is at the right btm, or you can hit Esc for the Main menu to pop up. Let me check with the programmer if he had changed the default UI.
Currently I ran out of resources to make anymore UI changes, the programmer said he might be able to add in more slots, but naming them would require more resources. In any case, the game play for chapter 1 will be more on resource management (energy, food materials) and you can pursue multiple routes (if you have the game resources for it). We can see if naming saves will still be important to players after chapter 1...
The only game where I've seen the implementation of save names is Camp Buddy. There's a very creative design of the entire interface, including the save section. Although I feel uncomfortable mentioning and complimenting another game here. But I haven't found any private forms of communication on this site, on the other forum, or on Patreon.
I mention it only because the programmer could see how certain features were implemented - not to borrow, but to study, because at one time the developers of Camp Buddy also suffered from various technical errors.
PS. I have not tried the new (Ren'Py) version. I'm not sure if I need to look at it right now - the screenshots show me clearly enough the amount of changes made. But of course I'm mindful of this unusual game.
Thanks for the reference! I'll check it out. As the gameplay will be quite different from chapter 1 onwards (more crafting and quests). will see whether named saves will make a difference to players. This is because character routes progress through completing quests, and that depends on the attributes the player builds over time. It shouldn't matter much in the early chapters, but will hear the feedback when C1 is launched. Thanks for the support and all the useful guidance!
CB has a demo version, so you can probably use it to see some technical points, if there is a strong interest in them.
As for the loading option, I hope it does not cause any errors related to all sorts of mechanics in the game (relationships, inventory, stats, crafting). I don't know how Ren'Py works, but I accept the possibility that loading not from the main menu may cause errors, like duplicating or something more serious. I can't remember where I've encountered this kind of thing - in Ren'Py, RPG Maker or some other games - it definitely happened, but I can't say where or when.
I actually know several Renpy games that have the save naming (or the name of save page): SpacecorpsXXX, BoundbyNight, Once more from the top, Justbros, BoundtoCollege all have -if I'm correct- the save name. The appearance of the save page is however different (they have the classic multi-page, 6-saves-per-page structure)., I don't know if it plays any role.
For reference, I -and many other players I'd say- usually like more than one love interest, so we start different saves, each of them on a specific route that we like, so having the possibility to name the save games is helpful to recall what you're doing. Not essential, but helpful.
As a swede, I have to point out though that Britt's not fooling anyone. Britt is still very much a girls name, haha. It's actually a shortened form of Birgitta in Swedish, which is equivalent to Brigit in English.

This game is amazing. I love how it plays like a RPG. Can't wait for the combat update. Any idea of when that will be released on your Patreon?
hi there, thanks for the support. We hope to release it within a week or two.
Awesome, I'm definitely going to be joining your Patreon. TY!!!!
Hi there, thanks for the support. I'll work on that once the main game is completed!
Hello Game Dev!
A) I just wanted to support you on Patreon on a yearly basis (with a little discount 7-15%) can you offer me that?
B) I totally support an Android port for the future.
Thank you and continue the great work!
and the game will be distributed only on the cartridge? Is it impossible to get other versions of the game for free in a month like other authors?
Hi there, sorry for delayed reply. Chapter 1 will be released to the Public at an affordable price shortly. Unfortunately, this game is complex and expensive to produce. I will not be able to continue production if there are insufficient funds to cover costs.
I am so very excited for the next chapter. Happy to be a patreon to help support this promising project.
will there be an android version soon?
Hi there, we will try to make the game more accessible to other platforms and languages after the base game development is completed. We don't have a timeline for it yet.
I thought I bought the game here on itch.io but it ends right after they get to the town and the boys lock themselves in. Is this only the Demo? Do I have to do Patreon to get the actual game?
Hi there, thanks for the support. Currently, only the prologue is available on Itch. Chapter 1 is currently only released on Patreon.
Hello,KKChar，I translated the demo version into Chinese, and add a button, you can change the language. I also pack it to Android.
If you need it. I can give you the link. but I change some fonts.
Thanks! Can you private message me?
Sorry to bother you, I would like to ask if I can get a copy of the Chinese translation, this is my email address 1243890949@qq.com
Hi there, can you private message me on discord?
Hello, can I also want a Chinese links? I don't know how to contact you, email or other? Thank you very much!!
hiya, you can private message me on discord
So how long till Android will get a version you think?
Hi there, there are no planned developments and dates for Android yet.
That sucks I was hoping to try the game and maybe join the patreon if I liked it
Hi there, thanks for interest. We will include Android and possibly translations in our future developments when the game is stable and completed. Right now, our priority is to get enough resources to complete the base game.
Amazing game! However, I have finished all the main and side quests, the images of Jostein (image16 of 17) and Erland (image 1 of 10) are still locked. I just wanna know if there's a bug, or did I miss something?
Cant wait for the next update!
Thanks for the support! Erland is a bug and will be fixed in the next patch. Jostein 16 isn't a bug, it's just hard :)
I replayed the Jostein quests, and this time Jostein 16 triggered. But I still dont know why. Does it relate to the bountiful harvest? Cuz I cant tell any difference than the first time except bountiful harvest.
BTW, the gut, social and passionate choices will impact chapter 1 ending, it means that there are more than 1 ending of the chapter 1?

Why no links to your patreon? It should be super easy to find. It's not in the game or on this page anywhere. 😢
Hiya! The link is above the discord. Let me know if it works? Thanks for the support!
I see a join my patreon group line but I don't see any links to click on. I had to go to patreon and search for you and scroll to find you. 😀
Yeah I posted about this before, the Patreon button doesn't seem to appear on google chrome at least for me I had to open a new browser to see it and join the patreon. Hopefully the dev adds a second link on the post so people can find it easier and support this amazing game!
I've played it though twice now and still couldn't complete the "legal eagle" side quest and just realised it might be because I cant find Jorgen. so just wondering if I can get a bit of help finding him. Thanks
P.s. love the game cant wait for more.
Hiya, 'Legal Eagle' is a hard quest. You need to collect clues from the 8 districts (there are none in the depot, but two in the Institute).

I won't be checking posts so often now to work on ch2.. :)
is there an estimated finish date to the game?
Hi there, the game is intended to be a series. Each chapter is a standalone story.
nice :)
how often are new chapters estimated to be released?
Hi there! Production schedule is around 4-6 weeks cycle. It depends on the chapter and if there are bugs.
Both the visuals are so beautiful, and the dialogues so deep and touching I want to cry. This is the first game I decided to be a Patreon for!
I'm totally stuck with "soil sample". How do we get that?
you need to finish the side quest that requires you to craft Potent Hulda Essence
Got it! And finished all the side quests now, except for the "9 clues". Wow it took me a whole night, but the rewards were worth it
Thanks for the encouragement! Try asking for help on Discord? There are more people to help you there :)
the Demo got me!
First time ever registered to Patreon.
And it’s absolut worth it :)
♥️♥️♥️
Thank you so much for the support!
This game is absolutely beautiful! I love it so far though I got stuck because I have no more wood and can't find how to heat the bath or whatever or maybe I missed something? In any case, definitely following the progress of this one! I'm finally getting a job very soon, I'd love to support your project here!
You have to pick the wood again once it's used up! To heat the bath, you'll need ax, tub, wood, water, kettle, then boil it in the kitchen. If you're stuck, try asking for help in the Discord channel.
Alright, thank you, I'll try that! Keep the good work, you're doing great! <3
so the only way to play the game is if you are patreon?
or it might just be the new update is only for patreons for now.... but even if it was the way your saying this game would be worth it cause its beautiful.
it is beautiful, but not everyone can afford patreon costs each month. for some saving up for a one time purchase is a bit easier then a monthly amount
if someone doesnt have the budget to give money for each build then its better if that person just pay once then after it cancels wait for 3 updates to go pass before paying again...orrrr just wait for the final upd. the patreon is only for early access so ur good.
or you know, put up a price at the begining, so others can enjoy it along the way also. but what ever
Hi Make a suggestion whether the font can be used normally. Now the font looks tired.
Thanks for the feedback! I can't change the UI now cos the font is hardcoded. It will cause bugs and production delays. I can tweak those that are not (like the main quest pop up). I will probably relook the UI again after the series is completed.
Immediately subscribed to your patreon after playing the demo, your character models and CGs are really a step above and the writing really takes it to another level. I love how real each character feels in the setting and how they all operate on multiple levels of openness in their interactions. Already planning out my Ralf romance playthrough for my first shot even though my feminine traits are a little bit higher than my masculine ones.
On that note would it be possible to denote dialogue choices that are going to change traits for ease of replays? Just a thought, love what you've done so far and am looking forward to the next chapter!
Glad to know Ralf is getting some love! Should be ok for future releases, but I need to talk to the programmer first.
I love how you create this world and push the story forward. So far, this story makes me feel like looking for a New Utopia in an anti-utopian world. Expecting whats going on! By the way, the pictures are so delicate that it is like watching a movie!
Thank you so much for your kind words! This really made my day :)
Waiting for the first chapter! Will we access the first chapter by the end of this week?
We are doing QA now, polishing the game UI. Most likely it'll be next week.
请问什么时候更新呀，7月已经快过半了，每天都在等呢
Sorry for the delayed response! Thanks for your support and interest. Please pardon me if I got your question wrong. Ergi Alfheimr chapter is scheduled to release this Friday on Patreon. Our programmer can only complete the QA by this week, thanks for your patience!
I wish I was financially able to support the development of this game. I enjoy the world building so far and the story that has been provided, especially with Mama, even brought a tear to my eye. It's great to have quality queer content being created.
Thanks for the kind words and encouragement! It made my day :)
Hi, can you link your patreon? It doesn't show up for me, just an empty spot where the button goes. Should probably also hyperlink it like this.
Hi there! Try and see if this link works? https://www.patreon.com/KKChar
I have a problem, I check every single day to see if you've announced when chapter 1 is coming, this game is the best I've played in years, great story, artwork, game-play. 10/10
Thanks so much for the support! The programming for the game engine will be done by tomorrow. Chapter 1 will be released in July as soon as alpha and beta testing is done:)
This game is so perfect in many ways, guys congratulations for this amazing work, i'm so excited for new updates 😍😍😍😍
.
Thanks so much! Hang around for chapter1!
How to access the other chapters
Hi there! Chapter 1 will be released on Patron. We are at the last leg of testing, and we'll try to get it out within a week if no major bugs come out during the testing.
Question, will this game be having a version for mobiles?
Hi there! I will work on an Android version after all the chapters are completed. As this requires separate programming and UI development...
Do you have any social media accounts? id love to follow you 😊
Hi there! I will start a twitter account once chapter 1 is out:) You can follow my Patreon in the mean time, I make public posts there too!
thank you. your game so really good btw ❤️
Thanks for the support and encouragement!
Will the character appearance change when we get higher traits like Fitness, masculine, Feminine. Also will their be a way to change the mc hair if not that's fine. Ps. form the content we have you are stating strong keep up the good work.

Hi there, you can check out the character profiles under 'factions' in-game. Tyr, Kirk, Erland, Borge and Ralf are not hairy. I have public posts on Patreon too, if you want to know more about the characters.
oh sweet, thank you
When will the Android version arrive?😥 I tried to play the PC version through joirplay but I couldn't
Have you tried running the linux version on joiplay?
I just did this with all versions, it stays on a loading screen for a while then exits the app alone
I'm sorry to hear that.. I will work on an Android version after all the chapters are completed. It requires separate programming and UI development.
there will be bad endings right
There will be multiple endings for the main story and the love interest arcs, depending on the choices you make and how you build your character.
This game has resonated so well with me, I've never expected to fall in love with it so much. I adore every detail you've put into this game. The storyline, the characters, and the rich atmosphere they're in. I simply adore all of it, and will be in the forefronts supporting this to its completion. You've earned another loyal supporter today!
Keep up the wonderful work you've created, I'm cheering for your success!
Thanks so much for the encouragement! This made my day :)
Hi KKchar I love your game and the story is so good and I also love Norse mythology and I will patiently wait for future updates of the game to come my only question is can the main character also romance mature older characters in the game besides the hot muscle guys featured in the poster that's my only question hope you will answer it

As a swede, I have to point out though that Britt's not fooling anyone. Britt is still very much a girls name, haha. It's actually a shortened form of Birgitta in Swedish, which is equivalent to Brigit in English.
Glad you liked it so far! Look out for chapter 1 :)
The graphics and the story line are amazing.
Can't wait for the next chapter.
Thanks for the encouragement! Glad that you liked it!
