what are with those two disastrous comments ...anyway 
Commenting for the author or any new people that are coming in but want to read the comments first

PLAY THIS IF ITS GOOD the love and dedication thats been put into this story is clearly shown through the writing and choices

(+7)

Those are something that needn't be said, especially when they are reading the author's hours of work for free lol.

(+10)

That one dude and his "U guys are twitter warriors 🥺" when called out for hating the fact that gay, non-binary, and black choices exist is being called out rn

(1 edit) (+2)(-31)

I apologize in advance--I haven't had the chance to play this thoroughly yet, only beginning portions. The fact that the main character's name is set in stone was off-putting for me. The character customization is so intensive where I can't entirely imagine why we would not be allowed to change our name, or at least a nickname or a name we prefer to go by. The writing is fantastic and the choices are pretty thorough, so this would be the primary thing to break immersion for me.

What a good text game)

Probably one of the best on itch io besides some visual novels.

Have interesting question to author - Are you watched anime Naruto?Because one kind of interaction with characters through all 3 chapters is clearly Naruto path 😁

Must admit game have really big number of choice variations , probably TOO BIG.I understand everything but choices like to change Morgana skin colour up to black, making protagonist non-binary, gay and etc is awful in context of Medieval Europe,  specifically England.

Thinking "nah, everything will be fine" is like putting quadruple set of pink glasses.

Usual fantasy films , books, etc puts on Medieval time pink glasses, but that's just for entertaining reasons - i'm sure most of readers/watchers don't want to see all horrors of this certainly dark ages.

Plus it's unrealistic, if looking for education of nobles and even others , by their ancestors.

Cases happened(mostly gay) but quite rarely and often that had a bad end.But even see someone with black skin or acting like a girl (for boys*) was ridiculous. 

If Morgana was black we can certainly delete this story much much earlier than Mordred was birthed.


Want to remind, i'm not against this - specifically for me no difference who has some different colour or sexuality or orientation.Human is still human, no less, no more.But we have here a fucking Medieval Ages.


*As i remember opposite for girls was considered as strange, maybe really strange but certainly not bad in begginning. Still this was up to circumstances.


P.S. If story recieves later some option literally named "Fuck the throne" it would be double shot 😆

P.P.S Honestly i not against one type of non-traditional relationships in this kind of fantasy.Yes, it's not realistic in Medieval Age setting, but hey, dragons's didn't existed in Medieval Ages ... 🙃

This is set in a fantasy scene that is also based the Arthurian history,  yes historically it's "not correct" but this isn't based entirely on medieval times and the author is allowed to take creative liberty. I also believe the author didn't just think "nah everything will be fine" it's called being inclusive.

(3 edits) (+5)(-39)

"nah, everything will be fine" i meant reaction of other fictional characters on it.Like Morgana with black skin...
If that happens story even can't begin.

About creative liberty, many people somehow forget that works in both ways.If is allowed to add black people in Medieval society, especially in higher classes , so must be allowed to make a film which places somewhere in central Africa during Antiquity or Medieval Age and pictures tribe where people have white skin*.

But in similar cases when black people pictured as white many as you unhappy with that and exist special term for that.Which is kinda really strange - if you okay with this why you not okay with similar?

*Personally hate this too.And unlike many people i will hate both things, without being hypocrite and telling that one thing awesome but similar - bad.


My opinion on creative liberty in fantasy - If anyone want to make fantasy with all kind of these things just make your fantasy world or choose one where they look believable and not messing with existing original descriptions.

(+30)(-6)

You could have went with dragons, with magic, with bloodline powers, or even with the whole Camelot, since none of that really existed in Medieval Europe, but apparently it's being openly gay or black that is too unrealistic?

Not saying you are a raging bigot, but you gotta ask yourself: why exactly is that only straight white cisgender men should be allowed to be themselves in a made-up fantasy world?

Okay, answer where i wrote where only straight white people allowed?My point is about accordance to realism.Story about Arthur and Morgana clearly take place on fantasy variation of Earth in Medieval Society that's not much different from real.Especially considering  this story originally was made in Medieval Ages.

But fantasy world which haven't any relationship to Earth like Arda (Tolkin) haven't these restrictions and characters can be any skin colour, orientation or sexuality , except those who clearly was depicted in original books.

Completely own fantasy worlds haven't all kind of similar restictions at all.

P.S. Look my profile for games i played through comments which can be viewed in profile.You would be very surprised :/

P.P.S If someone depictures black as white many ppl hates him. But opposite somehow good.

Don't be hypocrites - both must be allowed or prohibited(personally prefer second option).

Sorry if it seemed like I was hating on you. I do think that if you’re wanting to play this game you shouldn’t be expecting stuff exactly out of the history book because then the author has no room for creative liberty, again I see what you mean that the creative liberty thing goes both ways. But again like I said; With the skin color options and sexuality and all of that, that’s a customization feature to make the person playing closer to the story. 

(4 edits) (+1)(-15)

Yes, slightly, perhaps in comparison to other commentator))

Nvm, my reaction on your comment wasn't perfect too.Due to things happens in the world i quite easily getting mad on this stuff.So take my apologies too(


I understand why this was made.And that's why rated game 5 stars from beginng.

Plus obviously my comment start and ended on positive note, explanation was in neutral language.
Maybe that was not so obvious because amount of text, but i wanted to make proper explanation for my point.

Agree that make person playing closer to the story, at least it must be.But only if person doesn't bother with society.Opinion to bastards was 100% realistic but listed things much much worse in this kind of society.


Maybe problem with me, but even if this is fantasy i just can't stop using Medieval society norms when this take place on Earth and original story was made in Medieval Ages when those rules pretty much applied to the story.
If it was just modern story that takes place on Medieval fantasy Earth this wouldn't be so much problem because easy explanation - magic and all other stuff changed some things.

I’m glad we could clear up the misunderstanding ^^

(1 edit) (-19)

Wow, so many who can't read.Typical Twitter-formed generation with love of things like cancel-culture)))

What am i even expected? xD

(+12)(-1)

Maybe learn how basic grammar works before whining about people not being able to read your obtuse, bigoted opinion in a public forum. Stop being a whiny little brat and go watch Naruto or something. 

(+9)(-1)

Of course this dude references Naruto 

(+8)(-1)

Damn, 90% of people mentioning twitter users DO just make up some guy to hate on, when that guy is just a minority of people.

That comment can just be summed up as "Kids these days"

(+12)

Dude, who cares, it's fantasy.

If there can be dragons who co-exist with people, there could be black people.

If there can be people with powers over elements, there can be gay people.

If there can be fictional places, there can be non-binary people.

Besides, gay and non-binary people DID exist in medieval times, even if not openly. Besides, wouldn't it be too restrictive  to not allow choices to be gay/bi, non-binary, or black. 

Not every story in the past that includes the above have to have discrimination, they don't always have to be realistic. Let gay, non-binary, and black people exist in medieval fantasy.

(-12)

1.About human-dragon friendship.And that was in original story.

2.Yep, and i wrote earlier that they indeed existed , but not openly.But here we can see definitely open character dialgues , like ones to Arthur.

3.At least not allow opnely gay/bi and black at all( like black Morgana).In medieval times if someone married on black, well there's Very bad news for him.

4.I wrote earlier abou it - it's certainly possible to have black, bi, gay , whatever people in medieval fantasy.But much better if it is not placed on Earth and on entirely new fictional world rather than real world and based on existing fictional story.

(+11)

1. Yes, it is in the original story, but there are many other differences between the original story and this one. In the original story, Gawain is either Mordred's brother, half brother, or cousin. While in this game, he is adopted, rather than blood-related.  (though this is just one example)

2. "For the most part, any homosexual behaviour was considered sinful by medieval society, and often laws against sodomy proscribed harsh penalties such as castration and execution.

On the other hand, research has revealed that at times, same-sex relationships were tolerated and that positive depictions about homosexuality can be found in medieval literature." - https://www.medievalists.net/2011/07/same-sex-relations-in-the-middle-ages/

3. See above. Also, some people need a break from racism being attached to black characters, it is not a requirement.  "Nonetheless, in the period from 500 to 1500, European writers did remark upon skin color and cultural differences, and they understood some traits to be inherited. " - https://www.aaihs.org/race-and-identity-in-medieval-europe/ (while it was true that they were still INCREDIBLY racist, remember that this is a fictional city. I, for one, am glad to have a game were I can have an openly gay, bi, or trans character without the transphobia and homophobia, I've seen enough to make me uncomfortable.

4. There have been multiple stories with POC and LGBT people based off actual fairy tales and stories, and what's the harm in that? It's re-imagining an existing piece of literature, and can be quite fun, too! By reducing the amount of characters someone can make in that re-imagining, it limits you to the same types of characters. 

(Bonus!) By your logic, Mordred cannot be a woman, since women couldn't be CALLED a "knight"

"During the Middle Ages, women could not be granted the title of Knight; it was reserved for men only. However, there were many chivalric orders of knighthood that admitted women and female warriors who performed the role." -  https://www.thoughtco.com/female-knights-4684775#:~:text=During%20the%20Middle%20Ages%2C%20women,warriors%20who%20performed%20the%20role.

Anyways, thanks for the challenge! It's been fun researching this type of stuff, which I've been planning to do for a while!

(+2)

I know this is 2 months old but there's a black knight of the round table in arthurian legend so what are you on about

I think the difference between this and a retelling of the Arthurian Legends is that it is a fantasy immersive game. All sorts of people play these type of games, and if the point of this genre is to be immersive, then the variations ought  to be big. People want to see themselves in the characters they play (this includes the family's immediate family members), it is fairly simple. Hope this helps!! 

(+5)

THIS WAS SO GOOD!! I can not wait for the next chapters!!!!

(+1)

I want CheeseSticks

(+6)

It took me so long to finish what's been done so far but it was worth it! great game :) I love it, and I cant wait for more!

(+7)

absolutely love it so far! all the characters are very lovable and even plainly antagonistic ones are understandable in their motivation or just plain enjoyable lol

(+8)

I read this so many times while waiting for the next update and all I can say is I really feel so happy that I found this gem! This one is really one of the best that I have read! It's enjoyable even if it's still incomplete but whenever you reached end of the update, you'll really crave for more chapters to come! XOXO

(+4)

Currently, which path is the best way to enjoy the story? The evil one or the prophecy one? 

(+5)

I know the tag line says "be a villain or a hero" but honestly it's a gross oversimplification of the paths you'll be able to explore, and all the gray areas in between. Besides, I wouldn't say there's a certain way to best enjoy the game - I'm putting effort in all routes and options and alternatives so that any way you play you get a satisfying experience.

At this point in the demo, anyway, Mordred's not a "hero" or "villain" or anything else but a kid growing up, and it's up to you how you want to shape them.

Also, I'm not quite sure what you mean by "prophecy route"? Mordred, regardless of how you play, is born under an ominous prophecy made by Merlin. That's all routes :) How that actually unfolds, we'll see.

(+8)

Typos aside, it’s so well-written! I love the complexity of the characters. I especially enjoyed how navigating your relationship with Arthur and Accolon was written. Excited to see the rest of the story unfold!

(+7)

I NEED MORE!!!! It’s wonderfully written, and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed playing. I can’t wait for more.

(+4)

This is just wonderful. A truly creative, vibrant retelling of the arthurian legends and focusing on a character that is usually udnerwritten-bravo!

(+3)

I love this so muchhhhhh!

(+7)

(1 edit) (+10)

Galahad du Lac: "He hates you."

(+7)

(+2)

Absolutely amazing, thank you for making this! I can't wait for more.

(+2)

It's amazing

(+4)

I absolutely love this, it's incredibly well written and the story just sucked me right in. Great job, I'm excited for the next chapter!

Will you release at some point a downloadable windows version?

(+3)

I'll try to add a downloadable version with the next update!

(+3)

UGH this is so good!!!! I cant wait for the next update!!! <33

(+4)

Currently, my favorite Arthurian IF WIP, honestly. The characters and their motivations, as well as the available choices are great, can't wait for more content for this impressive story which is so intriguing and good already! 

(1 edit) (+8)

You know it's good when you can replay it again and again and never get bored lol one of my favorites for sure

(+4)

Ahhh I love this game! I never get tired of replaying it.

(+7)

Despite the fact that I am aware that this is a master piece, I return to this page frequently to see what new people have to say about it.

It's fascinating to observe how various individuals with various perspectives view this work of art (╹◡╹)♡

(+3)

A work of art indeed (^-^)

(+6)

This is fantastic, and so well-written! I've enjoyed the story greatly thus far, and am excited for future updates!

(+11)

IOH MY GOD OH MY GOD 

I am in awe!! I have loved GalahadMordred for the past 13 years quite dearly, and I absolutely love Mordred and - to play such a game. IT IS A DREAM COME TRUE

Thank you! 

(+6)

Hello random stranger. I am not the author, but seeing someone this happy right after waking up brings a smile to my face. Thanks for being supportive of others and not being shy about it. The world needs more spontaneous positivity. :)

(+1)

This is just gold honestly. I could write so much but none of it could explain how much i actually enjoyed reading  the demo. I look forward to more to come. It's brilliant.

(+9)

i've done so many playthroughs at this point just to refine my mordred's personality and character, and i can absolutely never bring myself to have mordred be on bad terms with gareth, even though it'd be in-character. he's just such a skrunkly little dude and a great older brother smh

(+1)

Hello Llamagirl, I hope you are well! And many thanks for the game so far - it was very enjoyable and I have replayed a few times.

Unfortunately, I do not have tumblr to report this but I think I may have found a bug? If you refuse to perform magic for Gawain after his lute playing in the dragon hut, the options use magic still appears.  If this has been fixed whilst you were working on chapter 4 then forget that!

I have a few questions about the finished game in the future if you do not mind. Will it be in a html download format to play offline whenever? Also, I saw that you plan 4 books in Mordred's story. Will this be 4 separate games that we can import previous data to, like supernatural, or will it be one long game separated into parts?

(+1)

Thank you! The issue was reported and I was hoping the patch I made fixed it. I'll take a look over the code again!

Yes, the finished game will be available to download. Each book will be a different game and you'll be able to import data from the previous instalment.

(+1)

Hi thanks for replying (and so fast too, I didn't expect that)! I went through again to see if it worked this time and it did. It is possible that I had an older version as I'd ran it and left the tab open to try out after I'd finished my work, by the time I'd got around to trying BoC a few days had passed. You must have patched it during that time in between. I thought I'd reloaded the page but I guess not. Sorry to cause extra work for you but thank you for checking nonetheless! It really shows how much you care about this project and I can appreciate that.

And that's great about the downloadable option in the future. I'd be happy to buy it when book 1 is done and I prefer to actually own a copy of what I spend my money on. I do have mixed feelings about it being released book by book, but that's my own petty issue (I don't want to wait for the whole story but I do get to play it earlier than I would if you has released it as one long game. A conundrum indeed!)

Anyway, best wishes to you for the remainder of this year and the next, toodles!

(+1)

oh my gosh this is just the best,barring a few typos and grammar choices. 💗

(-1)

are you going to include a poly route ? 

(+4)(-1)

on tumblr the author has said she won't

(+1)

oh ok thx

Hi. Do you plan to add Stripe payment to your Ko-fi page? Thank you. 

Hi! Not at the moment, sorry!

(+1)

i absolutely love this so far. great job<3

(+15)

HEY AUTHOR JUST LETTING YKNOW YOUR WORK AND WRITING IS SO VERY LOVED AND APPRECIATED THANKYOU FOR IT <333333

(+9)

I love this! I've been busy with school works these past few weeks but whenever I have a time, I peeked and wish that this got updated! It didn't disappoint me even just a bit! I love that there are more time to make Galahad change his opinion for Mordred! They're all cute but, really, it's really sad that Mordred has a life like this. This is why this is one of my favorite IF all the time! I also keep looking for an IF like this(Arthurian Tales one) And I can't wait to meet elaine and the others! Thanks for making me cheer up! Keep up the good work and stay healthy always! Love lots for you! 

(+7)

I loved this update so much! It was really nice to spend time with Gawain and Arthur! The other characters were great too! I love this game!

(+3)

Awesome!

(+4)

Awesome update so worth the wait now I hiped for the next one,  love getting to interact more with the characters an get to know them more especially Gawain, Galahad even starting to grow on me a bit, anyway keep up the great work.

(+3)(-1)

Was so excited to see this one update! Been in love with this IF since it first came about and glad to see so much more love and effort poured into it. As always I love the variety of options that allow emotions and actions to feel so much more fleshed out, as well as the occasional change in POV that really give more depth to key moments! Amazing work as always!
