I plaid this a while ago but never mentioned how much I appreciated the way you get to navigate Mordred's gender. Playing Mordred as trans, the very last scene before the demo ends warmed my entire heart
I really enjoyed how complex all the characters are especially Morgana. Incredibly enjoyable first 3 chapters. I would have liked the ability to choose neutral pronouns from the start though.
(spoilers)Not that I'm not glad but it feels shocking that this was for free. I spent the whole night to finish it. I've bought and played many Choice of games/Hosted games stories and this tops a lot of them in quality even if it's on itch.
My favourite characters are both Accolon and Gareth<3 accolon is the sweetest father he's so understanding and caring.
I also couldn't help but love all the characters, even the ones that were supposed to bad, had feelings and reasons of why they are that way. Idk why i tend to become really emotional when it comes to Arthur. His internal conflict and how he always tried.. somehow often made me tear up everytime. I didn't like his abandonment but I understood his shame. I kinda forgave him everytime.
Morgana is complicated. She was caring but was consumed by hatred evident by the lengths she went for revenge. She kinda used her daughter as a tool, still that doesn't change how caring and genuine her love was.
Gawain and Galahad? Love both. I wish there were more interactions with Galahad too:( the story was also really entertaining. Really sorry for the wall of text. Cant wait for next chapter
I knew there was one but, as far as I can tell, it's not posted anywhere here. I was hoping for a dev update post, but I don't think I saw one. It looks like dev's out of school for the summer, so hopefully that means they'll have time to update soon. 🤞🏽
Thanks for linking it, I have it here on my itch profile but I haven't thought of adding it on the game page too.
Yeah, I haven't posted any dev update yet (haven't been active in general) but soon I'll be done with my bachelor's thesis and I want to get back to working on the game.
Aaaaah I've been looking everywhere when I noticed the game version I was reading wasn't going to be updated again. Glad to have found your work here. You have a very entertaining writing style, the characters are very... Endearing? I guess I mean to say that it makes me want to empathise with the things they do/have went through, even when they aren't exactly good towards the MC. As they say, it's what life has taken from you that gives you shape, scars 'n all. You have made things intriguing to explore so far, and I'm pleased with the amount of the questions/reactions my character can have, and the following reactions from those around them. Looking forward for more...!
Please take your time. No pressure is bad for both work and learning, but too much pressure, from others or oneself, makes one crack. As an artist, I can't help but remember my other creative fellows that they too need moments to dive into the wondrous works from other's and take a break from their own. Hope this messages finds you in peaceful spirits.
So glad I found your work again! Been wondering where you went. I love this work so much and I can't wait for the updates. I told myself that I'm going to make Mordred more confident than the one I did with the dashingdon demo, but I can't stop making him a crybaby. It's just too cute. 😭
I honestly did not expect to enjoy the story as much as do. Especially since I’m not the biggest fan of the Arthurian legend but, omg..this is one the best IFs I’ve ever played. Everything is written beautifully and keeps you invested in the characters. I can’t wait to see how the story continues!
Quick question: I remember scrolling through your tumblr and I could've sworn their was a discord for TBOC. If there is one, could you drop the link? (I asked this on tumblr but for some reason my ask never sent. Also, I'm pretty sure this is not the space to ask this but for the life of me I don't know where else to do this.)
Oh my god. This is amazing??? The characters, the writing, the emotional investment this story makes me feel?? Please I would very much like more this game is incredible. And its only got 2 and half chapters!
I kid you not, this absolutely mind-blowingly good. I don't even know where to start. I can easily say I love everything but imma take some time to write a few good things.
Because I was a child of an absent father and a bitter mother, I made my MC loathe Arthur and almost blindly follow Morgana. But then it turns out she may not be the best parent, meanwhile Arthur still seems like an idiot, but with a good heart. Pretty much everyone bar Gawain seems morally grey and untrustworthy to an extent, so I'm really conflicted already. It is extremely well written and different choices actually matter.
You can be a total badass or a weak crybaby, which is cool. I played the available chapters in one go and now I'm really sad that I'm done. Is there anywhere I can follow it's development?
I love it, its written very well. I didn't really think much of it when I started to read the story, but as the story goes on, met each characters, and read their stories, I've come to like them and the story itself. I can't wait for the next update!
According to the author's tumblr, Mordred can have a small crush on Guinevere, which is never returned. Apparently, we can abduct her too. Exciting stuff! (Take this with a heavy dose of salt, this was stated a year and a half ago and a lot of stuff could have changed in the meanwhile.)
lol i never read / heard about GuinxMordred. You will have to point me to some of that! Most Arthurian tales I've read seem to focus on AxGXL love triangle. Have to admit all of that might be fun to create drama and intrigue but not sure how it would add to this story. Still it could be fun to be a bit nosey and stick our noses into whats none of our business lol.
There are versions of the story, when Arthur leaves Camelot and Mordred takes the throne, of Mordred trying to marry Guinevere. In some she does (tho I think this one also differs, whether she did it willingly or was forced), in others she flees. I haven't actually read them, but it's come up in my research of the myths. There's this article on the subject of the differing versions if you're curious.
thanks for the link, it was really educational. I knew that Arthurian tells went back almost as far as there was an England as we know it. Still I had no idea that GxM stories even existed, never mind were even older than the GxAxL stories. So cool honestly. Even cooler that you have yourself done your research and reading before writing your own work. Color me seriously impressed!
Like Over the Moon said, at some point early in development I had an idea of letting Mordred have unrequited feelings for Guin and attempt to court her in the villainous route (and be rejected and prompt Guin's escape), as inspired by the myths, but I've changed my plans since then, especially since I've got more interesting ideas for what Guin will be up to at the time, and her role in the plot.
Really good. I tried to go for a second run where I'm cruel after I hit the end, Couldn't really finish cause I can't bring myself to be mean to Arthur.
First of all, I was glad to see this on Itch. Played it before and it was just as easy to become emotionally invested as before. Really excited to see more.
Second, I noticed an error in the Romance Options information. Nimue has the phrase "three years older than Mordred" twice.

As someone that has read a lot of CoG/Hosted titles, and an artist myself, I completely second that and I wish there was a donate button.
Well, there sort of is. This is the link to the authors patreon and I believe they have a kofi as well if thats something you're interested in.

Nvm, I found it by going through the archive!
Damn. This is really good. I'm actually upset I've finished it so far.
me trying to do an enemies to lovers trope with galahad:
Same, but for me it then circles back to enemies
This is written so well! Love the setting and dragon companion! I can't wait to read more. Definitely one of my new favorite stories on here.
Can't wait for a time skip!!!

Thank you so much! 💕 You can follow me here on tumblr for development updates and just general stuff about the game.
Omg I love this story so far, I can't wait until it is updated. I love how well written it is, I actually feel bad for my Mordred.
I love it, its written very well. I didn't really think much of it when I started to read the story, but as the story goes on, met each characters, and read their stories, I've come to like them and the story itself. I can't wait for the next update!
Your work is amazing! I can't wait for the next chapter (?)
Oh and apologies if this may seem like a spoiler, but will Mordred and Queen Guinevere be a thing? Since in the Arthurian legends y'know...
Anyways, I'll always look forward to the next update, definitely am hooked.
