changedStarting Character Setup💄I’ve received a lot of feedback that the combat system feels either too simple or too complicated for some players. While monster stats do vary within certain ranges, the main reason for the difference in perception was the random stats on Tabitha’s armor. Now at the start of the game you’ll be able to choose from three sets , each with its own strengths and weaknesses.

Orux route📝

I'm currently working on the plot with orux. I want to expand the defeat scenarios for monster types using the new FMC dialogue animations and better integrate the related H-scenes into the overall story(Next will be ghosts creatures).

Currently, losing a fight still gives you EXP and unlocks an H-scenes.

About the plot 📜

The warrior maiden ends up in the Orux grove, a dangerous place where young ladies lose themselves in an abyss of pleasure.

“Orux is an artificially created parasitic plant. It uses other living bodies for reproduction. It especially favors sentient species, such as humans. The plant clouds its victims’ minds with a special gas, awakening their hottest fantasies and desires. If the victim gives in to the grove’s influence, orux gradually transforms her body and, in the end, completely absorbs her.”

So, if Tabitha fails to escape in time, she risks merging in ecstasy with the dangerous plant. But this is not the only option. I'm preparing several different paths to escape the grove.

One of them will let you meet Mara. Like Tabitha, she is also a prisoner of the green-skinned creatures.

She is fully animated and ready to be added to the project!

Since the miller's daughter is a secondary character, her animations are not overly complex, but this is balanced by the multiple skins available.

Standard version👗

Nude version🍑

Both variants will be used in the upcoming story!

In the orux route I'm preparing 4 main branches. Each of them will include variations based on, for example, stat check results.

I'm keeping several escape options, offering both almost completely pure versions and very lewd ones. Some choices will require a higher Lust level.

2 routes have already been written and total around 20,000 words!🤩
