I was considering an adult patch for this one, but there doesn't seem to be enough interest, and it would complicate the game's age rating. It's already pretty messy that I'm trying to mix murder mystery and romance. Adding adult content to the mix makes my work much more complicated. I'm considering to one day make a nsfw game, but it shouldn't have such a huge story.

Hello,
If merging doesn't work, in the DLC, you should find the folder dlc_muzzle:
Copy it and paste it into the game's folder, at this location (the root folder won't be named CT_EARLY_ACCESS... but something like demonheart-the-cursed-trial...):
When the game detects it, a checkbox will appear in the settings like this (you'll need to turn it on):
I hope you'll get it to work, and I will try to change the instructions on the game page to clarify.
Q: Is the demonspawn (Raze/Seer) romanceable?
Raze/Seer is not romanceable in this game, but he is a romantic option in two previous games: Demonheart and Demonheart: Hunters. I encourage you to check those out if you haven't already.
Additionally, there is a variety of Demonheart fanfiction available here. There has also been a nice amount of fanart over the years. Some of it can be found on the games' official Discord, or by searching on Tumblr or Twitter.
Q: Why is "the only attractive character", the demonspawn, not romanceable in The Cursed Trial?
In this game, he serves the role of an antagonist.
I am a human writer and not a content machine - when I force myself to write something I'm not inspired for, it shows. Writing another romance with the demonspawn in this particular game likely wouldn't have met your expectations.
This time, I wanted to explore a drama involving some human/demonheart characters. I hope you'll find the story compelling for what it is.
Q: How dare you put the demonspawn on the game's cover image if he's not a love interest?
Because he looks attractive, and he also makes it easy to recognize this is a game in the Demonheart universe. I hope you will click on him, check out what the game is about, believe the reviews and give it a try. (The game may have more reviews on Steam.)
The description indicates that the love interests are Ran and Kaisar. While you can flirt with the demonspawn, it's not a central part of the story but rather included as fanservice.
The Cursed Trial is a game that needs to be experienced - I can't tell you why it's good. I also can't convince you that you'll end up liking Kaisar, but many players do. Most of them did not expect it based on art alone, but they liked him after playing the first chapter. Your taste may differ, and that's okay. Just remember I am human, and this story is a work that I put my heart and soul into and it couldn't be something else.
Hi,
While it's in development it really saves my time to update one version only, plus we always had some issues with Mac OS, so I'd leave that for later. I will probably make a Mac version at the end, but I'm considering putting that one on Steam only, since there aren't as many problems when it gets installed automatically from their app.
Hello,
I'm feeling overwhelmed after the release of the new chapter, and I still haven't written the other ones, so I can't give a clear answer.
A few players have already brought to my attention the MC's crying after Vita's death, and there are already conditions and branches in which she acts differently depending on "VitaApproval" and alignment. Mainly, a Good MC will be the most stressed, as well as an MC that had a good relationship with Vita. Some players like her a lot, so I didn't want to underplay it, I felt like that would be worse. Now, it's very difficult for the "game" (my code) to read a player's mind, so I made it so in order to pass a relationship check, you only need to get around 70% of that character's relationship points. Then the game will "think" you liked Vita. Tactful Evil may be particularly difficult, since the MC could be lying. It's still in early access, so it's something I could take a closer look at. Maybe I'll need to assign some additional variables to some choices to indicate you actually hated Vita and make that a priority. In any case, I wanted the MC to be shocked and at least be scared because she is a demonheart as well, so she could be looking at the death from that perspective - "it could be me."
Some other things, as you said, "things have to happen" for the story to progress and have the intended events and twists. Including meaningful choices that branch the story right away would make my work impossible - if it branches into 16 completely different scenarios, it would take me 16 years to finish. So I intend to leave the most meaningful choices (which will make the MC feel more competent) for the end.
There's no visual tracking of approval other than the notifications that appear when it changes (and they don't always appear because some of it is supposed to be a secret.) Each character so far has different possible values. You can get a lot of negative points with Kaisar, while Ran mostly gets positive shifts. :')
Making and updating games for other operating systems is really taking a lot of my time, and then one day they stop working and I have to drop everything I'm doing and update them again... There have been so many issues, I've literally cried and regretted publishing on those platforms. So until I finish more of the game content and any bugs are resolved on Windows, I'm putting it away. It will probably be available on Mac OS at least, since we got the signing working and figured some things out (with the help of my husband, because I would go insane from this alone.) But I don't want to make it official, because what if it doesn't work...
I'm waiting for the day when Windows games will just work on everything. =')
Thank you :)
I'm working on the next game in the series, it's not the same protagonist but the same world, so anyway, check out all of my games if you haven't already :')

I'm still writing the chapters, so we'll see where it goes. I can't promise anything, that's why I didn't list him as a romance. I don't think he can take any human woman seriously now, as he's older and more mature (or bitter) and he knows they will die on him and he'll end up alone. If I force myself to write something I don't feel like, it's going to show. Also, he is their captor, and having him on the main character's side would break the story. He has someone above him, though, so he might not be torturing the characters because he wants to, and might help a little in some sneaky way.
Hello, there isn't a wiki, but maybe this guide on Steam can be of some use? Although there aren't achievements for each ending, so they are not all in this guide. You can also ask spoiler questions on Discord: https://discord.gg/xjaRGYDTUA
Hello. The saves should be in a "save" folder in the same directory from which you run your game. The achievements should be in "user/game_data.json" along with other data.
Could you check if you still physically have those files on your system (especially the save files) and they're in the same place as the game? I don't know what could be deleting them, the game doesn't try to delete anything. Maybe the operating system is not allowing it to read files for some reason.
