About

Rena is a young witch trying to make her way in a world without gods but full of cults, demons, airships, and steam-powered carriages. People come to her cauldron with problems, and what she brews for them is up to her.

Every visitor who walks through the door wants something: a cure, a favor, a way out of trouble. Rena can help them honestly, talk them into something worse, or brew a potion that solves nothing while making things much more interesting. Nothing here judges her for it — deception, seduction, servitude, and kindness are all valid tools of the trade, and a tangle of tentacles doesn't always mean what the guest thinks it means.

The game tracks what Rena does and who she does it to, and those choices bend the story down different paths over time, favoring the light, the dark, or whatever serves her best at the moment. Beyond the potion-mixing and persuasion, there's also a small mini-game woven into the loop for players who want more than dialogue and decisions to chew on.

Changelog

v0.3.5

We've added new localization languages; most of them haven't been tested yet and are machine-translated, but the list of languages is now as follows: Russian English French Chinese Korean Italian German Spanish Portuguese Polish
We haven't added much new visual content to the game; we've just made some minor improvements and updated the visuals.
In addition, we're releasing an updated version of the game with fixes right now.
List of fixes: Thanks to our testers!
Time stops during dialogues, when opening interfaces, books, or while trading and playing mini-games, which means no more notifications about nightfall at the most inopportune moments;
The game currency duplication bug (players’ favorite bug) has been ruthlessly eliminated;
Fixed an issue where players could earn double or triple the reward by clicking the yellow area in the mini-game; you won’t be able to make easy money that way anymore;
Fixed a critical error that could occur when exiting the prologue to the menu and starting a new game;
Fixed dialogues with Erzbet during her second appearance;
The glitch causing character layer changes after the Arm Wrestling mini-game has been fixed, but if anyone encounters this bug, please let us know;
You can no longer open the menu during a dialogue; the ESC hotkey is disabled;
You cannot view the bulletin board while in dialogue mode;
You can no longer drop resources or bottles on the city map; the inventory is locked;
Fixed a critical bug where Miloslava would get stuck behind a door upon entering, blocking other characters from appearing;
Fixed a looping music issue after closing scenes, but this requires extensive testing;
Removed unnecessary bold text from the UI when handing potions to clients;
Reduced the familiar’s size—you can’t feed a giant like that anyway;
The entrance door is locked until the initial encounter with the familiar; it will open after skipping or completing the tutorial;
Fixed a bug where a pinned recipe would get stuck when exiting the game and starting a new one;- The recipe for the Dispel Potion has been removed from the starter pack; you’ll receive it from your familiar as you progress through the tutorial;
On the bulletin board, text in messages used to overlap; it now displays correctly;
Fixed incorrect map scaling on widescreen monitors;
In the prologue, it was possible to set the time speed timer to 0; unfortunately, Ren can no longer stop time.
Optimized the interface in scenes for widescreen monitors;
Fixed an issue where repeatedly opening previews from the scene gallery caused crashes;
Added the “Bedroom” location; there aren’t any interactive objects there yet, but the eye on the wardrobe will be watching you;
A new “Artifacts” tab has appeared in the book, though it won’t be useful to you right away;
Updated the Selianka model—phew;
Improved the visuals for the trading mini-game; Rena’s modifications are now displayed during trades (except for the muscular version—we didn’t have time to implement it yet);
Added new voice lines: the innkeeper, the familiar, and the dwarves in the tavern;
Added a Backlog system—now, if you’ve missed dialogues with characters and don’t know what they want, you can open the window and view the entire conversation.
Refined the user interfaces.

v0.3.1

In this update, we fixed critical bugs in quests;
Added Chinese localization (no longer machine-translated);
Integrated the ability to complete the arm wrestling storyline using appearance-changing potions. (By the way, the arm-wrestling scenes will now also change Rena's appearance)
So, if you still encounter errors, please report them wherever you see fit. And if you also provide screenshots, our grace shall descend upon you.
Some other bugs fixed
In addition, work was carried out on:
Completing the tutorial (we also added content there);
Polishing and adding a crowded animated scene in the Argus branch, bringing him to the theatrical stage;
Releasing a batch of new voiced lines so that no one remains boringly silent (except for those who are supposed to be silent according to the plot);
Improving the art assets;
Writing the intermediate finale of the early version.

v0.3.0

In this update, we have added new mechanics, a mini-game, expanded Rena's transformation capabilities, and enriched the game content.

We have added a Familiar to help you through the initial tutorial, as well as the
Grimus Steward in the Tavern. He will be in charge of arm wrestling!
Some rather spicy scenes have been added to the Tavern, which can be unlocked as you progress through the arm wrestling competitions.
Rena's appearance can now be changed using transformation potions, and these changes will be reflected in animated scenes.
The character Miloslava has been integrated. Her story branch — a guest from the lands of the Rus — and animated scenes will appear in the game.
Animated scenes have been added to Erzsebet's quest.
The volume of voiced character lines has been increased. We will continue to expand the voice bank as more lines become available.

Some bugs fixed

v0.2.5a

Various bug fixes

v0.2.5

Fixed numerous bugs from previous versions of the game;
A story hook has been added to the game, and you’ll now see a new teaser that explains Rena’s arrival in this world in more detail;
We’re revamping the hint system;
Many players complained that the hints were unclear, so we’re overhauling the entire system, and your Familiar will now be responsible for the initial tutorial;
Voiced lines have been added for characters you’re already familiar with;
New background characters have been added to the tavern to create an atmosphere of fun and camaraderie over a mug of beer;
We’ve revamped the visuals for some characters;
We’ve added new story-driven dialogues with characters;
We’ve added localization for Chinese, Korean, and French, but we used machine translation, so it may not be accurate. This is a temporary measure, with all its inherent flaws, until we secure the budget for a full-scale translation. By the way, if anyone speaks any of these languages and has a strong desire to help us, please get in touch.
