Hello! This is something of a landmark build, since it introduces an exciting (and big and complex) new feature AND is the next build that will be going public in two week's time (August 16th, mark it on your calendars). This release is, more or less, the conclusion of Chapter 8, though I'm sure I'll be tinkering away at it and continuing to polish as we go. To our weekly and alpha patrons: we hope you enjoy. To everyone else: we hope you'll look forward to the 16th and all the new content and improvements that it will bring.

Hi, everyone! This week's build, version 0.76, is the patron release of what will eventually become the next public build, which means it's not far off! This ALSO means the save compatible grace period is approaching its gruesome end. I expect support for old save files will end around after version 0.78, so apologies in advance for that. I'd like to take a little time this week to advertise some of our other outlets as well, especially since many people have an (understandable) aversion to Patreon's increasingly problematic business model. You can find us in a bunch of different places: Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3xsrvi8aQM Twitter: https://twitter.com/IndoorMinotaur Itch.io: https://indoorminotaur.itch.io/daughter-of-essence Game Jolt: https://gamejolt.com/games/daughterofessence/336983 Discord: https://t.co/Ia3YoXhfdy And soon, we'll also be expanding our subscription service beyond Patreon to other comparable sites, as requested b...

The time has come! Version v0.60.1 is officially live and available to the public on both Windows and Mac, adding the latest chapter and all the bug fixes and general improvements that come with it. So, what exactly is new? You can see the entire change log here , but for the (very) abbreviated list: Extended the main story line by several hours You can ride Orus around outside for increased speed You can now mine silver & gold around the world and use it to craft jewelry if your forge is upgraded Added eight new written NSFW scenes Added and revised new portraits and illustrations Added new skill and spellbooks to the game Performance optimizations Balance adjustments Lots and lots of bug fixes Q. Will my old save version work? - A. Yes, but you may experience some bugs--especially visual. Save often and proceed at your own risk! Q. I found a bug! Where do I report it? - A. You can send me a direct message or post in our public Discord's designated b...

We are very proud to announce the public release of our latest chapter: Mar'Liore. This build has been many months in development--longer than the average chapter as a consequence of numerous time-consuming system updates and overhauls, particularly the quest log. Mar'Liore also features some of our most complicated and divergent quests to date, branching off multiple times to accommodate the different decisions our players make along the way. In addition to the new public build, of course, we are also releasing the latest patron builds, which introduces some of our new or revised illustrations and gets the ball rolling in chapter VI. We hope everyone enjoys, and we hope you'll join us in our brand new Discord channel: https://discord.gg/7hTwuTH   Version 0.46 - 8/17/2018 - Art Patch  Added the beginnings of Chapter VI  Replaced the Leite/Mercy scene with a brand new illustration  Added more post-Mar’Liore dialogue and scenes to the cove ...
