Hey,

I definitely understand some of your comments relating to the story. Some of them I can't necessarily agree to, so for example Sarah's ability to do things nobody else can isn't written by accident or unintentionally, it all very much features into how the story grows and particular future revelations. So I agree, she can do things that seem to defy physical laws, but that's not written by mistake.

As for the content and the content warning, I understand and I agree with you. The story takes place in a pretty bleak world, and it's inspired by a lot of dark-fantasy, and I sometimes lean a bit heavy into those tropes.

There are some content warnings on other platforms, but I agree that perhaps it would also be a good idea to better reflect those in the Itch page and give an in-game warning ahead of time, for people who do not want to see such content. It was definitely never my intention to surprise people with those kinds of story-elements, so if I did and I caused any upset, I definitely apologize and I'll try to include some content warnings up front going forward.

First of all, thanks for being so understanding. I know that my comment probably wasn't the nicest that you ever got and certain things probably simply aren't meant to appeal to me. But as I said I really liked some ideas and certain storylines seemed really interesting so I was curious what I have to expect from the story as a whole. And then there was of course the issue with content warnings. 

I've read dark fantasy before and I now that some people are okay with it but I personally am pretty uncomfortable with rape. And since up until that point most rape seemed to be avoidable one way or another I didn't expect something like this to happen, at least not that explicitly.

I already kinda suspected that there might be a reason why she is able to do certain things, it's just that in these scenes it felt a bit out of nowhere and even anticlimactic. That being said most things can probably be explained with her having some form of power in combination with me being too pedantic about what's realistic in medieval warfare.
