Basic info + demo download

[Winter Wolves]

Hi, developer here, want to address some of people's questions.

1. Demo - removed it, nobody was playing anymore and was outdated

2. Soundtrack - if you buy from my site you get soundtrack and some wallpapers. I'm looking how to make a deluxe version but might take some time (need to talk with Valve). Meanwhile you can also buy the OST from here if you want: https://michaelchaitmusic.bandcamp.com/album/loren-the-amazon-princess-soundtrack

3. DLC on day one! Blasphemy! Yes, I agree, but this is not a day one DLC, I released the game back in 2012. I only decided to release base game + DLC the same day on Steam so people could buy them both (since it adds many zones and extra characters to romance)

4. Type of game. It's a mix between a VN and a RPG, heavily focusing on romance. If you play in Hard difficulty, I think the battles should also be engaging enough!

5. Price. I understand when people think it's overpriced, but in this case is not an indie game like others. It has many 2d hand drawn sprites (and I think of good quality), full custom soundtrack, a plot of 250,000 words and LGTB friendly content. Is not something you commonly see in games. But anyway, if you think price is high, just wait the inevitable Steam sale, no? :)

Technical info:
It requires DX 9.0c or OpenGL drivers but if in the beginning you get a screen saying that you need to update DirectX you can just ignore it, since in 99% of cases the game will still run fine.

About the censored/uncensored debate:
Yes the Steam version, like the one on Android or iOS appstores, is the "censored" version. Note that the ONLY difference is the characters outfits, and that in the ending romance images the characters are more dressed (but still quite sexy!).

At this moment that was the only viable option for me (getting an ESRB rating is a pain for a lone indie like me), but you can still download the game demo from my site (will recognize you bought it on Steam and automatically unlock) and enjoy the uncensored content too if you want.

Perhaps, one day you will remove the demo workaround and provide the Steam version the uncensored one with toggleable suggestive themes?

Or perhaps an external patch which could modify Steam version permanently? I mean starting a new game at demo always whenever we want to replay or return back to start could be well a minor inconvenience. Lazy people we are!

Regardless, it looks not much bothering.

I have just one question (sorry if it was answered already): How can I activate the expansion on linux? No matter what I do, the menu stll has the "get the expansion" sentence on. Oh, and also it has no sound when I run it from the steam menu (but is only a detail cause from the demo everythin goes perfect, except the matter of the expansion).
Thank you.

[Winter Wolves]

Ah it doesn't work? Maybe try exiting the game and restarting? Here works fine, the only thing I might think is if there's some special permission (but I need to ask the coder, I'm not an expert of Linux).

What is the difference between PC vs Mobile version? Anything has been stripped on mobile version?
by the way, I like your work, nice job.

Loading the demo once, turning on mature content, and then loading the game normally from Steam seems to allow you to view mature content in the steam version.

No is the same version you get on Steam, but with some small differences like a different GUI (larger buttons/texts) and you can't select the spell/skill level, will always use the highest level one (I don't think is a big deal though).

I have 2 questions.. Firsly I know you have bundles on your site but will you release a collectors edition via steam with some artwork and soundtrack? as it could boost profit and its always a plus. Last question will the game run on windows 7 and 8 or will it need to be run through compatabilty mode for xp?

Keep up the good work! :cwat:

Thanks, a deluxe/collector edition seems a good idea, I could do that indeed :)
The game will run just fine for both win7/win8 as long as you have the right drivers installed (OpenGL or DX9.0c). If you play many games on Steam you probably have already the right drivers!

Also, is it possible to be able to download an uncut version directly outside Steam and at the same time get a Steam key? (Am I asking for too much? :P)

Would it require a direct purchase over Euro cost from the main site in that case?

[Winter Wolves]

If you buy from my site you get both my own uncut version and the steam keys. I think you can select the currency freely from my site, by default it picks the one where you're living :)

[urartu]

Thanks for the reply :D

Oh about currency I asked because, base+expansion price pure Steam even without current Steam discount it would be about 27$(with it, 25$) while from the site directly it is 35$ (25 Euro). So the difference comes from being able to download from the site directly? Or both sides consider me from a different region?

[Winter Wolves]

Yes has nothing to do with region, that is the price I am using on my site :) It includes some bonus art and the OST. I'm probably going to do a similar "deluxe" version for Steam too when I have time (currently I'm swamped ugh).

Are there any differences to the setting other than outfits? The setting tip implies romantic content changes. I'm more concerned about the story & dialogue changing than seeing more/less skin during that story.

No, everything else is the same. I need to change that tip, was written before I commissioned the covered romance images :)

People waiting for the uncensored - you can just play it normally on Steam, enjoy the STILL SEXY ending images, and then load the demo from my site if you want to see the uncensored images. There's a gallery menu option where you can replay all the romance endings without the need to replay the game. Simple as that.

Everything else, EVERY SINGLE LINE of text is the same. You won't miss anything except the final images and the more sexy outfits for some characters.

But is something you can see in 10 minutes after you finish the game "normally" :)

Thats great. In my opinion the story is the most important part in a game. Of course I am against any kind of censorship, but I can understand your situation and hope this will be your big break through. Nudity in games ins fine, but when I am playing games for nudity I am starting to play True Love again .

I will install the demo now, test it and when it is as great as it looks in the video and reports it`s one of my next buys on Steam with Talisman and the Realm of Arkania Trilogy :)

Thanks. Have a good meal and drink. It is on the house. ;)

Price + censored = not buying.
