Oh no, don't worry, you're not being impatient at all! It was my bad, Trello should notify me when I get a card, but it just doesn't for some reason and I have to check it manually, which, as you have noticed already, I completely forgot about :')

Thank you so much for letting me know and, most importantly, for your patience! The issue is already fixed and you can go love our favourite grumpy guard all you want :D

Damn that extra | symbol xD

Shame on Itch for not notifying you! But at least you're here now, so we got a happy ending xD.

Thank you so much for letting me know of these errors! They're all fixed already! 

I don't know why icons are broken for you, though. I've tested it with an old save I had and it works fine for me both on PC and mobile. Maybe it's the browser you're using? But if Act 1 works fine and it's only Act 2, then I'm afraid I have no idea. 

🎉🎊🥳🥳🎊🎉

I'm very happy to know you like the demo! Thanks for giving it a chance and taking your time to read it :D.

To answer your question, yes, you will have to purchase Act 2 separately. While Remnants of The Past has a main story, each Act features its own independent plot that intertwines with the main narrative. Although I refer to them as Acts, they are a saga of books. They are all connected and advance the main plot, but each one focuses on a specific character and tells its own distinct story. 

A little edit to add: Every act will follow the same process as Act 1. I'll post the first draft for free until the last chapter, and then, the full version will be free for a week. After that, the browser version will be limited to just the first few chapters as a demo. I thought this would be a cool way to show my gratitude to everyone who decides to share this journey with me, and to give people who cannot afford it a chance to experience the full story at least once until they can save enough to buy it :D

Thank you! I am also looking forward to release the new act, and very excited for what's coming next! I'm currently at the last quarter of the chapter andcan't wait to see it finished already! :D

Thank you for letting me know! I'll update it soon to fix it.

I've added a new feature that allows you to import your save into Act 2 in the full version of the game. This was introduced after the free week, so those who haven't bought the game might not have seen it. There's now a page at the very end with a button that creates a save file carrying all your choices to the next Act. If you don't have the full version, however, you can still create your character from scratch and make the key choices at the start of Act 2, though some variables will be randomized.

Thanks for the comment! Hope you have a great day <3

Thanks! I definitely will, especially because now, apart from the flu, I also have conjunctivitis xD. I swear, I better not get sick anymore for at least two years. lmao!

Lmao! It's all right, I get it. I can't say I would have done differently to be honest, haha! Hopefully I won't make the same mistake with Act 2, and I say 'hopefully' because I'm clumsy af, in case it wasn't obvious already, lol!

Thanks for playing the game! I appreciate you and the support even with the sneakiness involved xD <3

The difference is that I'm stupid lmao! It seems I got confused with the files and uploaded the full version instead of the demo. Now it's all how it's supposed to be (I hope lol). The difference for you would be that the paid version lets you save your choices to later import them to Act 2.

Thanks for letting me know! I'm glad to know you enjoyed the... 'extended' demo xD

Thank you for giving it a chance :D To answer you question, yes, this is only available in the full version, since the free one only covers up to Chapter 4.

Have a good day! <3

Thank you so much for the huge support! Happy reading <3

That you are, lol. You saved me a headache so thank you very much, haha!

My current situation doesn't allow me to pay the fee to release the game on Steam yet, but I'd love to do it in the future!

Thank you so much dor buying it! <3 That is the reason I added the option to buy it through Patreon too. I'd love to release it on Steam, but right now I can't afford to pay the fee, so hopefully in the future! :D

Will do! Thank you the suggestion!

I've been testing a few things to see if you can import the save from Act 1 to Act 2, but I haven't found a way yet. For now I'd say keep the save file just in case, but if I haven't figure something out to import your previous choices by the time I release Chapter 1, I'll just create a new character creation and let you pick all the important choices at the beginning.

I'll let you know if the save file is important when I finish Chapter 1. Have a great day <3

Omg, thank you so, so much for this wonderful message!! <3. I am beyond happy to hear that you gave this story a chance, and even more to know that you ended up liking it! Really, I have no words to express my gratitude :’D.

To answer your question, only Ada/Omar has an intimate scene for now. The others, with the exception of Leire/Luca and the mysterious figure, will have their own spicy scenes in the future ;). And as for the cover, no offense taken! To be honest, I usually prefer simple designs, and this one is a bit too flashy for my usual tastes, but it was the only one that convinced me from all the options I came up with, and I’ve grown fond of it with time xD.

I hope you have fun and enjoy the next route you choose, hopefully with less tears! From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much again for the message and for putting a big smile on my face today! <3

That makes me really happy! Thank you for taking the time to read this story, and I hope you continue to enjoy it with Act 2! <3

Not yet, but they'll come with time. Don't worry, you won't miss a single scene of the romance route!

The dynamic, you mean? With Rayco/Gara is very different, something like forbidden love. In chapter 9 they talk about it.

Lmao! Yeah, from MC's point of view, something clearly doesn't add up! But in Rayco/Gara and Albert/Lavina's defense, the dream visitor is not what they seem ;).

Thank you so much for the lovely message! I'm glad to know the mystery is still up! Sometimes I wonder if I'm being too obvious xD. Hopefully, I have a few tricks up my sleeve should, and I know of at least two huge things people won't be able to figure out until we reach that part of the story ;).

I hope you enjoy Act 2 as much or even more than Act 1! Wishing you a great day ahead! <3

Don't worry, he is a full RO and you're on the right path. Every RO has its own dynamic, and Ada/Omar's is fwb to lovers. Right now, Ada/Omar doesn't feel anything romantic for the MC, they are just physically attracted to them, and what you choose in chapter 9 determines how they'll behave towards the MC from that point on (whether they keep flirting or try to keep their distance sentimentally speaking to not hurt the MC further), but I assure you that there will come a point where those feelings will inevitably change, and Ada/Omar never shy away from expressing themselves openly. When they start to fall for the MC, they'll say so without a problem.

Thanks for reporting it! These errors have already been fixed. Have a great day! <3

Thank you so much for spotting this and letting me know! It has already been fixed ^^ I hope you keep enjoying this game, have a great day! <3

And thank you for taking the time to read it! I really appreciate it <3

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! What a great way to start my morning with this lovely message ^^. I am beyond happy to know you're enjoying this story, and also honoured to be receiving these wonderful words! Your support means a lot to me, and I hope the joy this project brings continues throughout the rest of the series.

Thank you very, very much for the comment, I'm very grateful for it ^^.  Wishing you a fantastic day ahead, and sending much love your way, kind stranger :D!

Thanks, I hope so too! And wow, that's a shame, I didn't know it was restricted in some countries :S. I have seen Twine games that have been released on Steam, so if I manage to find a good tutorial it shouldn't be that complicated... I hope, haha! Fingers crossed!

O mg, thank you so, so much for this wonderful message!! I am beyond happy to know you’re enjoying the story! You’ve chosen a good RO, indeed. Leire/Luca’s dynamic is one of my favourites and I can’t wait to show more of them in Act 2, and especially in Act 3, hehe :D.

To answer your question, for now I’m thinking on just using this page, since once you pay (or donate, actually) the amount that’s asked, you’ll have access to download the game in any format and it will be linked to your account. So, for example, you play on PC but for some reason you want to change to mobile for another route. Here, you wouldn’t need to pay for the game again, and I think that’s a pretty good advantage. But in the future? Yes, of course I’d love to release it on Steam and Play Store and Apple Store! These last two I’m not worried about because I have seen that the Monaca platform works pretty well to convert Twine games into mobile apps (and it's something I'll have to do anyway to release it here), but Steam seems a bit more complicated. I don’t know if Monaca would work to convert a HTML file into something that Steam would allow to be released on their platform, and if not, I don’t know of any other tool.

TL;DR, this game will be available for purchase here on itch.io. Maybe on Steam, Apple Store, and Play Store in the future, but it’s not my priority for now unless I discover a tool to make it work on Steam.

Thank you once again for the comment! I hope you have a fantastic day :D

Thank you so, so much!! :') It was a challenging one to write, so I'm very happy to know you like it! Thanks for the comment! <3

❤️

Hopefully that's the good kind of speechless haha!

Thank you! I've been feeling much better today. Hopefully, I'll be fully recovered soon! :D

As for the second person/first person thing, I'm surprised too. I thought there would be more IFs using first person, but it doesn't seem to be the case :/. I think I'll stick with second person. Don't want to confuse people by changing it hahaha!

The ROs are all monogamous, so no polyamory there.   

There will be some scenes of jealousy in the future that I have planned, both coming from the MC or the ROs depending on the route you're reading. But it will be a very minor thing and will not change the dynamic nor the romance.  

And about the love triangle routes, I did think about doing at least one (more specifically Leire/Luca with Rayco/Gara) but I quickly discarded the idea because of how much work it would take. I'd have to create a whole new route just for that, add even more variations, choose scenes between them and how the other feels about it, the different endings, etc. It's just too much for my first game. There's already enough drama in the story and in each route to add even more lol. I rather focus on each of them individually and let the players experience the romances to the fullest without a third person in the mix.

Hahahaha no worries! I gotta be honest, I really, really don't like cats >.<. Not that I hate them or anything like that, but I'm very afraid of them, something that makes people who know me laugh because I have one (or more like my brother has and I'm just stuck with them lol). For that scene I asked people who do love cats and those were the responses I got so... yeah xD

Thank you so much for this lovely comment! It truly makes me very happy to know you love this story, and I hope you continue to enjoy it :D!

It is indeed a bug. Thank you for spotting it! It'll be fixed in the next update :)

Thank you so much! It makes me happy to know I managed to get all those emotions across through my writing :D

It is indeed! I wasn't convinced at first, to be honest, but my brother insisted I read it all before judging it and I'm glad I did lol! I was all in halfway through book one hahaha
