Glad to know! They're all lovely, but my first choice is Cressida. She seems to like Faustina a lot. Any tips for starting a monogamous relationship  with Cress?

Thank you! I really wish there was a detailed guide for the game. Especially for the romance...all the Love Interests can be monogamous or poly, correct?

Hi, thank you so much for replying! The game is great so far, I hope you'll be able to sort out the files! Another issue I've been having is the game just freezing. Whenever I try to save my progress it freezes for some reason.

Hello, I just bought this game and very excited to play it! However, when I can't seem to open it? There just a folder with a bunch of things in it. Please help! I am a Mac user btw

Update: Hi again! So I installed the itch.io app on my computer, launched the game from there, and it's working now! Still, it would be nice if the game file was fixed so you don't need the app.

Hello! I just finished the game and I loved it!!! So cute, and funny at times! I can't wait to play your other games! If you're open to suggestions, I'd really like to see you do a historical story! Could be a fun way to switch things up :D

Hello, really excited for this game! Will the full game be available on Itch?

I believe it's called "Paint the Map Red", but it could be a bug since I sided with the Rebels but the achievement for that didn't pop up either.

There's a major check with likability when you have to socialize with people too

Yeah it's getting just one wrong answer and you fail at blackmailing her. Did that also gave you the Final Kiss achievement? I'm looking at a guide and apparently there's 3 ways to make her kill you in week 7. I'm gonna try all of them! XD

Ahh could be the Jarrod practice room scene, but only one version gives manipulation if you did everything correctly in your previous interactions

You can also get manipulation from being Subtle in week 4 and Weavers gift in week 3 (pretty easy to get)

Oh honey no why you do that to her XD

SPOILERS

I believe Gisette killing you in week 7 can result from "be tried as war criminals" or botching you blackmail attempt. I did the former and got an achievement from it. IDK about blackmail tho

What exactly are you doing that doesn't make Sarya trust you? I've always been nice to servants, help her with the drunk delegate, and got a perfect trial to raise her relationship enough. Without inviting her to stuff (though it was cool when I did for Onvu and girl's night)

It's strange how we can blackmail Gisette with our "accident" but not Lord Aldric's murder XD  

Also, I'm curious how you got killed because of finding the method. Does that mean you failed to blackmail her?

Princess can get like 25 max from CC, only in the question about bandits because choosing the other options will lock her background. Plus the ng bonuses (Revaire siblings/Avalie) would be 40. Redeeming Jarrod requires his week 1 date and Arland can never get enough courage to pass it. For the Revaire 3p you don't have to do anything with Jarrod. Just be immoral, romance Gisette, and she'll handle it. Side with Revaire royals and choose "something of you both" with Jarrod in week 7. Complete the Rebel secret chain, which doesn't include Sara's secret.

I tried it while befriending Sarya and the rebels then betraying them, but I guess the previous version was bugged because it made Jarrod marry Sarya. Maybe it's fixed now, but I tried again without Sara's secret or rebel approval and it worked. Also don't choose Katiya;s legacy for goal. Hope this helps :)

Just saw Aly's Tumblr post saying Weaver might give 10? Manipulation bonus and I'm EXCITED!!! Really helpful for my Wellin and Arland MCs! I usually choose max Manipulation in the CC for the others, but with the Weaver bonus and all the other bonuses, they could still have 75 manipulation in the beginning! So I can choose another skill in the CC! :D

I wonder, will the secret backgrounds be assigned only to specific nations? Like I assume Rebel Leader can only be from Revaire?

What would be even better is if she stabbed us in the heart (literally), which also means stabbing herself in the heart (figuratively). Revaire will plunge into endless war and Gisette will be haunted by what could've been forever, such delicious angst! I also headcanon that my MCs call her "Gissy" which she tolerates out of love <3

Also, what do you mean by "wasn't nice enough" to get that option?

Oh yes, the female friendships are amazing, especially Avalie! I also enjoyed all the female romances, especially Gisette (being ethical with the power of manipulation, baby!). Pirace MC/Gisette is really fun, and Arland MC/Gisette is great because they're both underestimated princesses striving for their own goals. Though, I think my favorite will be Rebel MC/Gisette because I'm a sucker for Angst(with happy ending hopefully)

Oh yeah their Girl's Night interaction was super ironic lol Then in legendary Revaire peace they became friends <3

Did you see the Forbidden Wing scene in week 2 and had 75 insight when Jasper told you about his investigation

Out of curiosity, who was your favorite female romance?

As a lesbian, I only played the male romances for the stat boosts (but I did appreciate each of them, except for Jarrod thank god his route didn't have boost). 

As for all the ladies, my personal ranking is Ana, Greer (judging by vibes for now), Leah, Ria...and best is Gisette XD She's an acquired taste and tried to kill me, but is also super sweet and romantic?? I enjoy making her fall in love with my ethical and super manipulative MC, despite all her protests about not changing lol. Still ambitious and calculating, but less murderous (unless someone tries to hurt me, I'll allow it). I also blackmailed her (with love of course) even though I had enough for peace without it lol.

Speaking of blackmail, I chose to ask her about my assassination and the rebels in week 5, but then in week 7 it seems like she somehow forgot?

I think that just how the game works because Gisette could "sense something was different between you" if you don't choose her route. There's even a thing about it on the game's TV Tropes page.

Also, it would be pretty funny if we got a bonus for the opposite of Katiyas Legacy (war and destruction for everyone) Perhaps some warfare/politics/cunning/manipulation/self-defense

Yeah I always had my Jiyel MC host a history lecture to save money lol

I also discovered this neat hack: If you managed to befriend Lyon(talk to him at WF, go on his date, invite him to events) you can give him a letter and still get his week 3 gift. Because there's this guide I saw that said the only way to get his gift was buying the puzzle book :P

I'm still flabbergasted that there isn't a bonus for Sarya, descendant of the legendary Katiya! I knew she must be related to the rebels but dumb me never really connected the dots because I was so focused on other things (not dying, solving mysteries, bringing world peace)

I totally agree tho, more cunning! So we can bleed Butler Jorges dry for the week 6 ball lol

MORE new game boosts?? Aly, you're so generous!<3

I have a few suggestions:

• Hosting perfect events
• Perfectly completing challenges
• Completing the secret chain for each faction(Weavers/Rebels/Historians)
• No Hallway Unlurked
• Katiya’s Legacy(All legendary endings)
• In Demand (week 1)
• Marvelously Misjudged
• Not Even Your Birthday
• Gifter Extraordinaire
• Duel Thorns
• Impressing all the ambassadors in week 6
• Water Wears Stone
• More The Merrier
• Birthright (I'm still flabbergasted that there isn't a Sarya friendship bonus)
• More bonuses for self-defense, cunning, grace, practical, and street-smarts because I'm always lacking them lol

Also, this isn't about achievements, but I thought it was a little unfair that only Arland princess got boosts from her personal affairs (practical/self-defense). It would be great if other MC backgrounds could get them, too. <3

Well becoming allies with Avalie is already required for her epilogue friendship bonus

Yeah as soon as I saw the option "be tried as war criminals" I thought "she's definitely gonna stab me for this". But you know what, kinda worth it ( me a simp for hot morally complicated women)

Poor Clarmont...but I get it, gotta complete all the possible routes even if they're horrible lol. I really wanted the manipulation bonus for Jarrod/Gisette, but felt guilty for Sarya and the rebels. I'll make it up to them in my future playthroughs

Did you get killed by Gisette while romancing her? Somehow she makes murder sound extremely romantic haha. If you love someone, try to assassinate them. If they survive, sorry you're stuck with them!

I just thought of something, because of the CC requirements Rebel leader won't be able to get much manipulation. Will the same bonus for Alrand and Wellin also be applied?

My defaults are usually Musical, Lecture for Jiyel, and Midnight Picnic. But I think I'm gonna try hosting other events just for funsies haha

Hi, I'm late to the party (only found the game last year so the wait wasn't that long for me) and I just wanna say how much I enjoy this game and appreciate Aly's hard work creating it! I've finally finished my master plans for each background to get the best possible ending! It was a wild ride from start to end (tho not really ending because I'll definitely replay a lot)

P.S. Looking forward to the full release so I can hopefully romance Gisette as a Rebel Leader, the angsty potential!

Thanks! I already figured that out. Too bad my Jiyel lady won't get his gift tho because she has to host a free history lecture to save money XD

Ah, ok thanks! That part should be edited then, to avoid future confusionXD

Hi, I read on the Wikia that having 50 Poise can also pass Jarrod's date, is that true? Asking for my Shelteres Princess mc 

I find it very interesting that you can have 3p ending with Lisle/Penelope (though more platonic) and Jarrod/Gisette, two pairs of royal siblings but complete opposites lol

Just to be clear it's the "have something of you both" option?

Thank you thank you thank you

Also, what should I do during negotiations to make sure Revaire royal wins, that seems to be my biggest obstacle
