So, for how far i've been able to get in the game, which is basically till the desert city whose name i immediately forgot, got to the inn, and did that, talked to every npc, i could find, did a couple puzzles, dug up one chest, and couldn't dig up the second one(guessing that one is for patrons even though it didn't say that), had the coin/mark that's required to enter that club, but in the noble district you can enter only 3 spots, house that you can explore only the f1, the basement for the sidequest, and the alleyway which leads to sewers.  That quest is stuck, i doubt i'm missing anything since  i spent literally 1.5 HOURS just wandering about the city and the sewers trying to progress, getting poisoned and with no hp and no consumables or gold to spend on them. The guy in sewers is a brick wall after i tried the "seduce" option. MC says he's gonna attack if we keep persisting, but that's what i want.(my guess choosing seduce bricks that sidequest) I'm not sure if this is as far as the game goes at it's current stage, or it's scripted too tightly that scripts break too easily...

I would love to progress in the game, but i see no way. At this point i don't see the point in playing this game because at this point the only things i'm able to get from the game are frustration and anger. At least leave some tips/notes for the quests/sidequests in the journal. It is very frustrating to roam trough every nook and cranny of the city, interact with literally every tile that looks remotely interactable, and still get no progress. I'm out of ideas. Not gonna pick up the game again till i get some ansvers, and honestly, i can't suggest this game to anyone at this point, it feels too raw, and i don't want anyone to go trough what i did. I'm mentally drained from this.

Developer

The buried chests are stat checks, not patron items. Dunno where you are in the game's narrative, so I can't direct you much, but I would be surprised at this point if there's an issue with progression in the public build.

After sleeping in the White Rat and talking with Marlan, you have to visit the tents in the mining district to find Ralph, then return to Marlan in the inn.

Mercy won't fight the guy in the aqueducts until after she's encountered the Crows, so if you haven't done that yet, it means you probably haven't progressed to nightfall.

Since the name "Ralph" didn't seem familiar, i went and explored the tents... yeah he was in a tent that was previously empty(which is why i didn't bother checking it), you should make some pointers for backtracking like that. Since i thought it was Alfred guy who was the pivotal one(i mean he gives the entrance token to the club, seems kinda pivotal eh?) so most of my time i spent in market, noble, and sewers, districts.

Though it kinda sucks that now my MC is piss poor and with no hp consumables or antidotes left, but i guess that's a part of challenge for me now :D, I'm glad i can continue the game now. If i see any other issues, or bugs possibly, i'll let you know. Thanks for a quick response(honestly thought you'd respond in a month or so, since a lot of devs aren't that active in Itch.io when it comes to discussions and stuff)

Also a lil question, what stat check is that chest in there? Is it res? Making that guess based on MC talking about poison.
By the way, the VA narration was so good that it's kinda sad that it isn't present in the game more.

Developer

The stat check is defense for the chests. We have more voiced narrations recorded that haven't been implemented yet and still more to come. 

Eventually, I'd like to get Beatrix and maybe a few other voices added to the mix as well.


Stumbled on this in the wichdale, in the cave on the right, when tried to mine, tried it the second time, and it worked just fine.

It froze the game completely, hope this helps ironing stuff out.

Found another rather annoying bug,  happens when you talk to the npc when they are in front of the door. After conversing they no longer walk around...

so you get stuck.(there is no fast travel function or anything so... rip.)

This game doesn't work on mac and everytime I launch it closes. If you know how to fix this please tell me

*SPOILER WARNING*

in the essence trials, when you bump into a wall, you can get stuck, cause it'll throw you back, and if there happens to be a wall there, well you're out of luck cause said wall is become your prison and you'll be stuck in that wall or piece of rock.

I believe I don't have to explain what is the bug here, now do I? :P
