Right now exposed is a debuff that removes a % of the enemy's 'defense' stat, so a single move hits harder. 10 stacks should equate to 100% of the enemy's defense, but i don't remember off the top of my head. it will have a dedicated portion inside of a menu alongside all of the other buffs / debuffs once I've created that. the numbers being used aren't final, and are expected to change! additionally, a lot of early enemies don't have a lot of defense to cut through, so it wont always feel consistently powerful in Act 1.
Hey! I'm really enjoying this game so far!!! I was wondering if the option [DELVE]- explore the cave is supposed to work yet, because it keeps replaying the same dialogue option to me over and over again!
Hey roads, this is an amazing game i just want to complain that when i want to head out the forest the game freeze. Not intirely i can still go to other menu but when i want to head out into the forest its freeze. Is there any fix to this? Agin love the game keep up the good work.
hiya - this would be the second time this bug is mentioned, and the first who ran into this fixed it with a fresh install after deleting all prior versions they had installed
I had a great fun playing this, the only thing that i hope you could improve are the save system being only in Camp (as far as i know) is kinda tedious. other than that its very fun and enjoyable, also it would be nice to have a completed mission list and text logs (i dont know if it was a thing yet)
Just asking, but why was the shade sex necessary? I'd appreciate if you tagged the game properly as bi so people won't get their hopes up. Shame since this had genuinely 10/10 potential.
necessary? no - optional? yes. I believe the requirements are flirting with Shade and then taking her up on the offer in the hot springs. i am unsure how else i could have properly gated that content, beyond some sort of content flagging system which I have not yet built. hope you enjoyed the game beyond that!
the game so far has only 1 female character you can do sexual stuff with, and also only one that isnt a background character, and it's optional to do stuff with her; so I think it more than earns the gay and bara tags
if anything, I think a game should be able to have the gay, straight, and bi tags simultaneously if it's all optional
Honestly a fun and engaging experience so far. The game definitely feels like your part of the hunters story more than your own if you bring him into your party early on (Honestly no problem with that, I'm sure that will change with more content as well)
Simple, good story so far, fun character interactions, although does feel limited at times.
the games good, drawing are very detailed and the story is great… butttttt the only problem I have is that the second Hunter joins your team it basically becomes Hunter’s story and not yours, you just explain what he did in said story. There should be an option to get different interactions if Hunter ISNT in your party since you’re the main characters, not him
Hiya - one of the goals I started with when making Aftersoul was to try and create some fleshed out, slow burned party members. It's simply beyond my scope for the game to try and handle all the iterations of scenes w/ any number of party members present or excluded - but I agree that it would be nice to see such a system. Regardless, I hope you understand that a main goal of mine in regards to this game's development is to focus on a cast of characters. Act 1's focus is on Hunter. Act 2 will have a different crew member take the majority of screentime, and so on.
the game's pretty great so far but I hope we get a lot more top and dom options in the future, the vast majority of options are sub+bottom, and when they arent they are at least one of those two almost every time
I like hunter, and kinda wish we could corrupt him more, but it gets a bit annoying that if you get him early like I did you lose access to like 90% of sexual content, you dont even get the option to disregard what he says, you are forced to follow his own sense of shame, which would be fine if it was optional
i enjoy the game but i dislike hunter so much he get's all the dick then when you can get any he shuts it down with the only guy you can get earily cause he is a jealous loser hole
I'm glad about this, because I love Hunter and I've been leaning into the slow burn letting him go at his pace because it's cute and I like as much fluff as smut but I'm also worried I'm not pushing him hard enough (the wolf pack seemed to indicate as much but idk)
I enjoyed my time with the game, however I do want to offer some feedback.
For my tastes, the text moved a bit too slowly. I was constantly hammering the space bar to make the text appear faster. Though, I may have missed something.
The other thing is that I wish you could alter the speed of combat. While I did enjoy the combat mechanic a lot, the problem is that I felt like I was staring more at the bottom of my screen than getting a good look of what is going on.
Good luck on future releases, and I want to see where this project is headed in the future.
good news - there is a way to change text speed within the game already - including the ability to skip it going line, by, line altogether! simply click the eye indicator to open up additional controls (infinity icon to speed it up to instant)
double good news - I have just recently implemented a speed-adjustment system for combat that will be in the next major update!
HELLO I'M NEW TO THIS GAME but not the Concept since I play ToS and LD but I'm asking if there is a guide? I just want to play the correct way and not mess things up
Been a while since I've logged into this Itch account at all, but I have to do so to say that this game is absolutely fantastic!
In a long, long list of NSFW RPG games that try to shake up the feel or appeal, this one does in a way that absolutely knocks it out of the park. The battle system is intuitive, fun, and it already feels like there's a ton of player expression when it's only ACT I. The writing so far is really really good, I've liked every character I've met and actively dug deeper to see each and every interaction I could. The artstyle is gorgeous, everything about this game visually is so so appealing, and it fits the aesthetic in a way that is utterly perfect.
Last but not least, the character designs, goddamn the character designs. Never before has a game like this made me actually go "Goddamn I want to bone that guy" to literally every character I've met. Regent, Knave, Boss, Knight Wolf, Hunter, goddamn the pool never ends and I'm down bad for all of them.
All in all, I am extremely fucking impressed with everything, and cannot wait to see where this game is headed in the future, and I'll absolutely make sure to check it out with every update. Cheers!
Very liking this game so far and this is my first run, and I was wondering that what is the maximum level that we can reach? As of now my spirit level is 10 (And my character level so far is 21)
After many attempts I finally defeat the plat wolf(2 form) by out healing him, the wolf itself not a problem it the plant that surround him that make the fight so difficult. Even the strongest skill that target the highest HP enemy if you cant one shot the wolf the next skill will target the other plants cuz they have more HP than the wolf. I really hope the future update have skill that target enemy highest max hp or aoe dot damage, it would make the fight a lot easier.
Im so glad i kept trying on this game, originally i got soft locked because the singe skill wasn't appearing so i couldn't beat boss, but i kept trying and got it to work on another try and now im thrashing awakened plant wolf with covenfire. needless to say im enjoying it quite a bit and im looking forward to future updates
Are we going to be able to top everyone? For example Boss? 😏 Haahahaha tha game is great, one of the best I try so far, thanks for all your hard work, is incredible to be able to read a game like this when the characters are not only nsfw but are interesting
Also, the game rn is only for windows, do you have any plans to make it for phone or mac? Thanks!!
I just found this VN and I am absolutely in LOVE with it! The story is extremely interesting, the artwork is eye catching and and very well done, the level up system is a nice addition to the VN community and honestly so well done that it makes me want to play more and more, the mechanics of battles is very nice and engaging, and overall the VN leaves me wanting so much more (in the best way possible)! My only comment is, I wish there was a sort of gallery to rewatch scenes that are unlocked in any save. Also I hope we get to spend more time with the Sage! Keep up the amazing work and I can't wait for future updates!
I will consider a long term solution for something like a gallery, but it is not a focus of my development goals right now - thank you for the kind words!
Is there a build for older computers? Mine is one from before 2014 or even more, I saw this game since it came up here and I really hoped to play it but I can't because of that. And I don't have the money to buy a newer one, but eventually I'll get one but not now
I think I skipped a part of Carp's explanation about the buildings, because I know you can get ether that they produce, but I don't know where to go to get it.
carp's explanation is of production - it's a resource other than ether that builds up with each successful fight you win. you gain more production based on the amount of 'production rank' you have. you also gain more production rank each time you build!

Hiya - that Delve option is not in this current build. The first layer of the cave will be in the next public release!

Thanks, but my main question is why it was added in the first place, when the game itself is tagged gay and bara.
the game so far has only 1 female character you can do sexual stuff with, and also only one that isnt a background character, and it's optional to do stuff with her; so I think it more than earns the gay and bara tags
if anything, I think a game should be able to have the gay, straight, and bi tags simultaneously if it's all optional
i think barely any straight options isnt the worst thing ever
Honestly a fun and engaging experience so far. The game definitely feels like your part of the hunters story more than your own if you bring him into your party early on (Honestly no problem with that, I'm sure that will change with more content as well)
Simple, good story so far, fun character interactions, although does feel limited at times.
All in all, good time so far! Good work!
Yep - Act 1 is primarily focused on Hunter's narrative. There will definitely be a shift in screentime as we move towards Act 2.
the games good, drawing are very detailed and the story is great… butttttt the only problem I have is that the second Hunter joins your team it basically becomes Hunter’s story and not yours, you just explain what he did in said story.

Well it is what it is. I can’t deny even with my issue finding and learning more about Hunter is pretty nice
I hope the best of luck for you to finish cause it’s a really cool game
Make this on android plz
the game's pretty great so far but I hope we get a lot more top and dom options in the future, the vast majority of options are sub+bottom, and when they arent they are at least one of those two almost every time

uh wait you can get him at diferent times? is him joining when he finds your camp the later or the earlier?
he finds your camp after you interact with him enough, so if you just ignore him you can get him a lil later, as I understand it
i enjoy the game but i dislike hunter so much he get's all the dick then when you can get any he shuts it down with the only guy you can get earily cause he is a jealous loser hole
Hi, can I know if this game will ever be available on mobile phones? I really want to play this game on mobile phones.
Is there any kind of guide? Loving the game, but it's really frustrating to find out I've gotten locked out of content without even knowing it.
Hiya - check the discord for guides and help. I've tried to minimize the amount of content that you can 'miss out on' outside of the prologue!
I'm glad about this, because I love Hunter and I've been leaning into the slow burn letting him go at his pace because it's cute and I like as much fluff as smut but I'm also worried I'm not pushing him hard enough (the wolf pack seemed to indicate as much but idk)
I love this game but sadly my laptop isn't working right now so any plans to make a mobile version?
is there any way to go back to roaming instead of patrolling after getting hunter as an ally? i feel like theres a load of events ive missed
amazing game!
really like the combat system and art style, as well as the overall chromatic theme. it suits it a lot.
hope you manage to avoid the censorship
will this come out on Mac?
i hope so buddy, i hope so 😔

I cannot get the ui for carp in the exiled den to work
It's been a while since I played this game. Is there a save option now?
I know there is in this build at least. Not sure how far back there isn't a save.

when there's a new update?
Very liking this game so far and this is my first run, and I was wondering that what is the maximum level that we can reach? As of now my spirit level is 10 (And my character level so far is 21)
Please make this on mobile!!! i don't have a private computer only one i share with my roommate but this game looks so fun i really want to play!
yeah it's so unfortunate that it doesn't run on emulators too
i think you can make separate accounts on your pc especially if its windows and download and hide the game files on your accounts side
After many attempts I finally defeat the plat wolf(2 form) by out healing him, the wolf itself not a problem it the plant that surround him that make the fight so difficult. Even the strongest skill that target the highest HP enemy if you cant one shot the wolf the next skill will target the other plants cuz they have more HP than the wolf. I really hope the future update have skill that target enemy highest max hp or aoe dot damage, it would make the fight a lot easier.
If I recruit hunter as a companion then I can't meet weird wolf and bandits?
Im so glad i kept trying on this game, originally i got soft locked because the singe skill wasn't appearing so i couldn't beat boss, but i kept trying and got it to work on another try and now im thrashing awakened plant wolf with covenfire. needless to say im enjoying it quite a bit and im looking forward to future updates

Also, the game rn is only for windows, do you have any plans to make it for phone or mac? Thanks!!
only windows for the time being!
where are carps schematics?
Surely they're still in the Den - I'm sure Boss might know!
I cant seem to find Boss anywhere. Where are they supposed to be?
Nevermind that. I found them. I just wasnt paying attention to my options enough.
How often is the free version updated?
major updates like 0.4.0 are all uploaded here - I will consider a need for a 'midpoint' release as I progress!
So the free version only updates once a year?(Sorry, I can't speak English)
there is no exact date scheduled - but yes. at my current speed: yearly or bi-yearly
谢谢,但我认为在每半个主要版本之间有一个免费的缓冲版本会更好
I just found this VN and I am absolutely in LOVE with it! The story is extremely interesting, the artwork is eye catching and and very well done, the level up system is a nice addition to the VN community and honestly so well done that it makes me want to play more and more, the mechanics of battles is very nice and engaging, and overall the VN leaves me wanting so much more (in the best way possible)! My only comment is, I wish there was a sort of gallery to rewatch scenes that are unlocked in any save. Also I hope we get to spend more time with the Sage! Keep up the amazing work and I can't wait for future updates!
I will consider a long term solution for something like a gallery, but it is not a focus of my development goals right now - thank you for the kind words!
