Do you know what a Norian summer is?

A Norian summer is a culture festival where each kingdom enjoys about three months of peace from the beginning of May to the end of August. Each kingdom moves to another to live there for three months and learn about their cultures. For example, Foreline goes to Liylah, Shadvaille to Foreline, Incen to Icedrift, Icedrift to Incen, etc. The kingdoms you're able to go to changes in rotation every year, but it is the highlight for Norians who live in a kingdom!

However, due to the war between Foreline, Icedrift, and Liylah 2 years ago, the Lylian king has forbidden people to go to Liylah during Norian summer. Due to this, the kingdoms haven't been able to have it ever since. Perhaps you can change that with the help of a peace treaty!

Massive Combat Overhaul!

This update changes the combat completely, giving the combat a much needed change, not only to make it more fun for players, but to amplify the overall feel of the game! Thanks to this overhaul, new mechanics and collectable items have been added! (This change is so massive, that there's now an in-game tutorial for combat!)

Voice acted Combat!

Each character that you face in a boss battle now has voice acting within the combat! These characters have never had voices prior to now, giving everything a fresh new coat of paint! What an honor!

New voice acted cutscenes!

Two voice acted cutscenes has been added into the game! One in the Normal/ill route and another at the end of ill route exclusively!

Official full controller support using the R-Stick as a mouse!
This part has been a long time coming, but now on controllers you can use the R-Stick as a mouse! No more switching back to your computer to click on certain items or certain things in quests

New quest and cutscene!
A new quest and cutscene in Icedrift has been added!

Now, for the Quality of life changes:

After the second day in Shadvaille, you now have the option to skip the Shadvaillian tunnel maze
Extra dialogue has been added on some days before going to sleep and when speaking to the one who watches
Revamped the quest journal to be more specific on where to go in certain quests
Extended the forest area and Forelinian noble hall slightly
Made it so that you could finish Vanilla's quest to deliver the seaweed if you didn't come to him before getting the shiny object
Due to new combat system, random encounters have been removed and replaced with overworld encounters. However, if you leave an area and go back, you can still find more enemies to face
Rats no longer give 900 exp, making the level curve more balanced

Now, for the Bug fixes:

Fixed a bug where you couldn't move on the day where it rains after buying more than one prostitute
Fixed a bug where you could not fulfill King Fran's Quest after going to Shadvaille once and completing Diametres' quest first
And many more!

Hast fortunate travels! We hope thou enjoy!
