It's almost annoying how invested in this game I became- the end of the demo hit me like a truck...! In the meantime I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for further progress- so good...!
I don’t think the end of a demo has ever hit me so hard… This has to be one of my favorite IFs around, the character writing is top notch. I’m especially really curious on Merlin, on seeing if he’s really everything Morgana set him up to be, since so far every character has had so much nuance written in (maybe not Lot) that I’ve been giving him the benefit of the doubt from the start.
I will never stop thinking about this game. I love it so so much, and it allows me to be as angsty as anything. I legit have two different saves just for one to hurt as much as possible, and the other to be a lovely balm to it. It's great.
This is one of the best WIP IFs I have played thus far and it super scratches the itch I have for "hostile decadent royal court simulator" that's plagued me in recent times. I love how complex the characters are, particularly the parents, and I love how much we're given free rein to shape Mordred's personality.
I myself played him as an emotional, teary-eyed wreck who's nonetheless unfailingly sweet and genuinely kind whenever he can, but is nursing a festering resentment that is aggravated by both Morgana's words and his mistreatment at the hands of the court and Lot. He's also desperate for affection and falls in love way too easily with literally anyone who will give it to him. And I am so happy this IF allows me to play a character just as complex as the ones around him.
The writing was superb barring some spelling mistakes, and every character felt human - even the dragons. I did set my dragon as being fearsome and vicious (towards those who are not Mordred) and didn't feel like I saw enough of that, but I understand if that's impractical for the story. They're precious anyway.
Thank you for your hard work and I can't wait to see the rest of the (maybe ill-fated thanks to my actions) wedding!
Man... I love this story, really I do. But the stats are just so confusing. I don't remember descriptive sentences, so I have literally no idea when my stats have grown, except for thinking 'Ok, I PROBABLY hit an option that increased them'. And it also leaves, like, absolutely zero way to know how much I have grown. If I 'have a good grasp of my magic', what does that even mean in terms of where I starts? Am I a little bit better? Am I vastly better? I have no actual idea. I just wish there was an option to view a percentage or view based menu for the stats in addition to the normal one.
So far, I really can't bring myself to like Morgana (As a person, I mean, not how she's written. She's written beautifully❤️).
I do think her hatred towards Uther and Camelot is completely justified, but she still ultimately chose to violate Arthur and bring an incestual child into the world, knowing that they would suffer. I felt my heart twist when Mordred and Morgana's relationship became strained but at the same time I can't in my right mind side with her even if I sympathize with her.
SAME! Having my Mordred feel like a tool for revenge but reveling in their purpose before having their view shattered when they make (gasp) more friends as an adult
Meanwhile playing the game a solely vengeful Mordred breaks my heart. I feel so awful for being mean to Arthur, but at the same time I morbidly love the way that Morgana feeding a vengeful Mordred's hate ironically mirrors how Morgana claims that Merlin is manipulating and deceiving Arthur.
I mean personally,i get your point however well i can see also see how Morgana might have also hold Arthur accountable (which i feel he is in a minor way) as he knowingly accepted the only place of power that could have granted Morgana to take back all that was her,but indeed the action she took to counter that was ultimately a vile with no justification..the same one done to her mother but it was one done by a person broken by injustices done to her..and at that point,i don't think she was thinking from her moral compess but utter desperation and extreme grief even a bit of insanity,in a messed up it is hard not to sympathise with her going to such extreme measures,as she was a child who not only lost her parents but witnessed destruction of all she hold dear
Umm,just out of curiosity is there any news on update of either the patreon or public version of the game?! So far it's been some while and there hasn't been a new update on either..soo yea!? Plus i was wondering is there any set time-limit or dates to these updates or are they random? If so that seems a slightly confusing and inconsistent no offense but i guess that's alright it's a masterpiece of work nonetheless.

Lmao that's exactly what my Mordred did!!

God it's so well-written, I love it.

There is a patreon version that was updated 24 days ago
Yup Ik although it was pretty small,it ended with niume using tarot cards on Modred
The author primarily updates her private patreon demo frequently, and really only updates the public demo once she has about a chapter done.
