Hey, folks! Got a fresh new build right outta the oven with a lot of little tweaks and updates, many of which have to do with the fact that Mercy needed new sprites for fishing, riding Orus, combat, etc. on account of her change in appearance. Remind me to never change Mercy's appearance again! Other than that, making a little more progress on the story and managed to squeeze in a spicy new NSFW scene in the process. Hope everyone enjoys. - Nym Version 0.56 - 10/26/2018 Added new NSFW scene (gang bang, bukkake, aphrodisiac) Added new Rondo dialogue to Carvannah Added Crows HQ scenes Added Beatrix & Orus scene Added new building and shortcut to the Crows Added new Mercy blindfold walking & battle sprites Added new Mercy blindfold portraits Improved Mercy’s normal portraits Added a new skill to Beatrix: Essence Bolt Fixed a lighting-related crash in Carvannah Fixed some outdated fishing spots and updated fishing spots with new portraits Updated som

Hey everyone! VERY excited to announce that the last 3 weeks of development hell on this portion of the chapter are finally finished. This section has been tested extensively, and it's in a pretty good place, but if you do encounter any issues, please let me know. Once you play it, I think you'll understand how much can go wrong with all the different variations. Somewhat surprisingly, this also marks a denouement of sorts in this particular chapter, which means it's not too far away from wrapping up and going public. We might see that in a few weeks, depending on how hard or easy the next portions are to make.

Hey everyone! Continuing from last week's theme, we have another intricate, multi-path release, and the end of the chapter is finally starting to take shape. This is another rough WIP build, but there's a lot to tinker around and experiment with, so my advice is to make multiple new save slots and don't overwrite your old one. That said, if you're more of a "wait and see" kind of guy or gal, I think next week will be the build that finally finishes tying all these threads together and cleans up some of the loose ends. Plus, if my memory serves, there's also an alpha release next week, so bonus points to me for timing it perfectly. New to the game? Try out the public build at https://www.patreon.com/indoorminotaur. Version 0.54 - 10/12/2018 Added Conditioning Path Sequence Added castle interior scene Added castle bridge scene Added forest scene Added portage (WIP) Added “Stalling” Path Sequence Added Rondo scene Added “Keeper Favor” Seq

**[SPOILERS AHEAD]** Highlight to read! *** In her hubris, Mercy returned to Shiveworth and was captured by Oldlight. She has been blinded, shackled and subject to the Church's "conditioning" rituals, whereby they strip their finders of everything that makes them who they are. But Mercy cannot forget. Not even if she wanted to. She is the Daughter of Essence. *** If you haven't been keeping up, the latest chapter takes a pretty sharp turn. The latest build is, by far, the most complex yet, stacking choices on top of choices for what amounts to three separate paths and dozens of slight variations between them. As you can imagine, this is time-consuming, and it's in a stage of only half-completion right now, so I do NOT recommend saving over your old file until it's completed and all the kinks are smoothed out. That said, the game also adds a couple of radical new NSFW scenes to the game, so PEEP EM if you want. Version 0.53 - 10/5/2018 New
