Thank you so much for playing and letting us know your thoughts!

The thing with the ending was mentioned by a few of our players, so we'll think about this aspect for our future projects uwu)9 For this project, our (sappy) team members wanted to work towards a peaceful ending.

And your English is perfectly fine! We're glad you enjoyed the game.

Every month, we release wallpapers on our Patreon and share public previews there too. 

We might release a collection of our top wallpapers on Itchio in the future and will update you all if we do. Thanks so much for your interest!

Hello! If you have pre-ordered the game, the exclusive content should have been sent to the email address bound to your Itchio account during release during the end of March / the beginning of April.

If you have not received it, please send us an email to customer.niftyvisuals(at)gmail.com either using the email that you purchased the game with / the one bound to your itchio account, or the receipt of purchase so we can locate you. Thank you so much!

Hello, we just tried the downloads and they're working as they should. It might be a local connection problem so we'd suggest you try again later. Thank you!

Roughly 10 - 12 hours depending on your reading speed :D

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed :D

We certainly are working on more games, although at the moment there are no plans to extend Royal Alchemist/Royal Order's universe yet. We will definitely post public announcements to keep you guys up to date though!

Glad to hear you received them!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We are really happy you enjoyed the experience.

Thank you so much! We are glad you enjoyed both games!

Thank you so much! We actually haven't released one because we don't have the redistribution rights for the OSTs. Maybe one day! We for sure would love to be able to release an OST for our games.

And the composer actually only has an Instagram although it's not very updated. (We vaguely remember there was a Soundcloud in the past but it's no longer linked.)
Their website is linked though~

Hello! Depending on your difficulty, it can be 400, 500 or 600 accordingly. Although it's a very optional check.

Thank you so much!!! Glad you enjoy the game so far :D 

Royal Order actually comes with an in-game Music Room that fully unlocks once you've reached one of the good endings! You can find all tracks with their name and composer there~

Hello, and thank you. Glad you like the game!

Currently, we don't have specific plans for these additions due to budget limitations.

However, we're conducting polls with our Patreon supporters to determine which types of additional content they would like to sponsor~

Thank you!

Roughly 70 or 80 depending on your mode :'D

We highly recommend to narrow your affinities down to the two types required for your route~ It makes the MC's life quite a bit easier.

Hello! Apologies for the late reply, but the section for the Missions are on page 9 and 10 of the latest guide. We have also updated the mini-guide to contain it!

Thank you for your kind words! Glad you enjoyed the game

Thank you so much!!!

Thank you! And all of those stickers are actually available in our Discord channel~

Thank you so much! 

This may come a little late but yes, although a fresh run would always ensure nothing unexpected happens, the old saves should have carried over!

Thank you so much! We will continue trying our best!

Thank you so much for leaving such a kind comment to let us know! We're super happy you enjoyed the game~

Thank you! We're super happy you enjoyed it!

Hello and thank you, we're glad you enjoy the game!

In response to your inquiry, at this time, we do not have definite plans to include additional art assets. While we would certainly love to, it's outside of our budget.
However, this is something we will reconsider in the future, especially depending on how our sales perform and if we are able to secure additional funding through channels such as Patreon!

No worries! 

It is a little bit hidden! Since the guide is too long, we had to add it as a .pdf file.

In your Steam library, right-click Royal Order, choose Manage, then Browse Local Files. You should find the guide in that folder! We hope that helps.

Hello, and thank you for your patience! 

We are working diligently to finalize the lore book by the end of this week. While we encountered more material than expected, we have completed the majority of it. Thank you for your understanding as we work towards completing this project.

Ah, many apologies but no. DirectX Runtime is a graphic tool that the game needs to display everything smoothly. So, unfortunately you can't play the game without it.

These are their Bad Ending CGs! :D

Hello! If you pre-ordered the game on Itchio, you should have received the mini-guide on the email that is attached to your Itchio account around a week ago. (It might have landed in your spam folder though.)

If you haven't received it, please send an email to customer.niftyvisuals(at)gmail.com from that email address and we will get back to you!

As for the art book, it is not released yet, but if you have pre-ordered it, you will get a key for it over email once it is as well :D

Hello, if you purchased the full version, you will have to download the according version for it. But if not, then you can just play after extraction :D

Hello! Yes, the lore book will become available on Steam as well as soon as it is completed :D

Hello!

While that whole purchase was for Emrys's amusement to tease the MC, the reason behind this is rooted in the setting of our narrative.
In medieval times, heels were often worn by royalty and nobility for practical reasons and as a display of status, regardless of gender. While our story exists within a Medieval Fantasy realm, we've incorporated such historical details to maintain authenticity.

Regarding Lady Daevaris, we'll investigate to ensure all branches are functioning properly. However, it's important to note that our narrative doesn't privilege one version of Aarya's gender over the other. We've made efforts to include branches where their respective heights play a significant role.

In our narratives, we actually don't use the concept of 'canon LIs'. Each romantic interest is crafted to complement specific aspects of our lore and world. It's ultimately up to our players to decide which romantic path they prefer.

Thank you so much!

The book will be released in about 1.5 - 2 weeks from now. We're currently focusing on finishing some patches for the current game build, and bringing out the in-depth guide first. But we're getting there!

As for afterstories, the team will reconvene after everything for the initial release is basically completed and see what would work best. If we have plans though, we will definitely announce it for all of you.

Once again, thank you for your support!

Hello! The lore book is up for pre-order again. Thank you so much for your interest.

Alright, that shouldn't be the case then. We'll investigate it as a bug. Thank you for the report!

Hello, if you are on story difficulty and still have a death check for that high, you're most likely still playing on 1.0.

We've adjusted the difficulty in our latest patch. It's recommended to switch to that one!

You're right, it is a bug on Challenge Mode. We'll fix that in the next patch. Thanks!

That suspicion check actually checks your suspicion stat (visible under the character's name in the Grimoire). Your suspicion has to be under a certain value (15 for adventure mode, I believe) to pass it.

The suspicion stat is something you raise sometimes with certain choices if it doesn't fit your public behaviour when someone in the High Council is present. (For example, choosing a bloodthirsty answer while your character is overly considerate and charismatic).

That said, the suspicion check in that week doesn't need to be passed. It will decrease your faction approvals a bit, but you can easily get those back with tea parties or later checks.
