Those are great questions! There isn’t currently a draft/forced conscription, but Soren felt compelled by the family’s military history to enlist. It’s his own sense of duty that made his enlistment inevitable rather than a legal requirement to do so. The protagonist doesn’t have a set age, but I usually consider them to be somewhere in their mid twenties to early thirties. A significantly older protagonist may need a little looser interpretation of canon, but anything early twenties and up could work if you squint!

Thank you so much! And I do have some UI updates to improve the default theme’s readability that will go live with the next big update! (Though aside from the colors and a few tweaks, I can’t take credit for how nice the UI is–I used this template by Vahnya!)

Thank you for the bug report! Should all be fixed, but let me know if anything like this pops up again!

I don’t, but thanks for asking! If you’re looking for bonus stories, there are some interactive ones here and some snippets on my blog.

There’s no way to wear it at the wedding, but you may have another opportunity to wear it later in the story!

I’m not actively developing Tower & Town at the moment, but the best way to get in touch would probably be on tumblr @asheepinthenight!

Thanks for letting me know about the pronoun bug! I think all the problem passages have been fixed now, but if you still run into it after a refresh, please let me know where it pops up!

I’m glad you’re enjoying it, and no need to apologize for your English! I’m planning on the final version of the game being free to play! :)

Thank you so much! One more left to go for the Hawk/MC/Shea poly and/or friend trio, if you’re into those!

That means a ton, thank you so much! I’m glad you’re enjoying it so far! <3 Depending on how busy real life keeps me, I’m hoping to have the next small-ish update posted sometime in the spring (northern hemisphere time)!

If you want your MC to start the game already knowing they’re trans, you can do that! Their siblings and ROs will address them correctly from the start. If they start out questioning or having not thought about it before, it will be a longer process.

Thank you so much, that means a lot! I definitely wanted to spend a little extra time on MCs who are trans or still questioning their gender both because it’s something I appreciate as a trans person and because it ties into the larger themes of the story. So it was a win-win! I’m hoping to have the next demo update posted before the end of the year–just needs a little more editing and bug testing!

Just the one ending, but it definitely changes the vibe if you saw the statue in the fog! The different paths all come back together for the ending, so no need to hunt down any hidden endings this time!

I’m glad you’ve been enjoying the game! For task complexity, using the fiction as you have been is a great way to do it. To keep the rules light and flexible, the only mechanics-based method that’s included is the optional random table on page 8. Feel free to experiment and use whatever method works best for you!

Should be all fixed! Thanks for letting me know!

I’m glad you’re enjoying it so far, and thanks for the bug report! Should be all fixed now!

Should be all fixed now–thanks for letting me know! It shouldn’t break your saves, but if you’re still stuck in a loop after refreshing, try using an older save or restarting. If that doesn’t do it, please let me know!

I totally see where the confusion came from–sorry about that! I made a quick update to the text to help anyone else who might be confused about the same thing!

Thanks for letting me know about this! Is the issue still popping up after the wedding ceremony is done? Before the ceremony, the MC’s family may make an incorrect assumption about the gender of the MC’s betrothed. I can add a note in-game to make that clearer!

But after the ceremony, their actual gender should reflect your earlier choices. If their gender is still showing incorrectly after their post-wedding chat, could you let me know what choices you made while picking your MC’s romantic/physical attraction so I can try and track down the bug? I haven’t been able to replicate it.

I’m glad you’re enjoying it so far! The new update includes a new option that should hopefully be a little more comfortable for grey/demi/other aspec MCs!

You’ll be able to make an exception for Hawk down the line, but adding a third option like that is definitely something I can do! Thanks for the suggestion!

It should be updated to let you scroll now. Give the game a quick force refresh (ctrl+F5 on Windows) and see if that helps.

Thanks for letting me know! You should be able to scroll and see the rest of the options now!

I'm glad you're enjoying it! I've finally had some time recently to get back to working on the add-ons, so yes--still in development, just much slower than expected!

Sorry it took me so long to respond! You take the highest d6 you rolled. So as long as one die in your pool shows 5 or 6, you succeed. Glad you're enjoying the game!
