Sneak peek
Here is a little snippet from the upcoming update. This takes place shortly after leaving Abydos behind, once your MC meets the last members of the group that haven't been introduced yet π This one is from the veteran captain's POV but there will be different variations for every MC origi...
Upcoming POVs
I would like to get some ideas from you about which POV scenes you'd like to see here in the future π (these scenes are only available from Tier 2, but I will also make events like during Christmas where I make them available to the public for a short amount of time)For this week Sunday, I wa...
January Q&A question thread
I changed my mind about how this will work because I realized it would be much more effective to have this thread open for the whole month (or what's left of it). So this thread will be open until the 31st of January, which is a Friday update day, so I will post the answers the next day or the d...
The magic lore
Long post incoming. I wanted to write this down also for myself as a future reference. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask them below, and I will answer them in the next Q&A post ^^The next lore post is going to be about spirits, so I didn't write much about them in this one. You ca...
Tiny tiny update
I uploaded the first scene to Chapter 4 that I think very well illustrates the general mood of the characters for the upcoming chapter π It's not long, only a bit more than a 1000 words, but since it's still update day today, I wanted to share it πββοΈThere is no password now beca...
New achievement guide
I added the new Chapter 3 achievements to the list.
New update on both demos, although there might be more coming today for patreon π
I updated both demos today, the public demo with Chapter 3 that you have seen already in the patreon demo, but I fixed many grammar mistakes (I also found more pronoun code errors, those pesky things...), some awkward sentences, and fixed paragraphs too, so I updated the patreon demo with the same t...
What I'm up to
Just wanted to let you know what's going on with the game this week. I'm currently editing. It takes a long time and for some reason, it always makes me sleepy π Not because I'm bored of my own writing or anything, I guess it's just not as exciting as writing new content. Anyway, ...
Q&A answers
What inspired you to do a game based on Egypt?I was always interested in history ever since I was a child. Mostly about ancient history, but I can get invested in new subjects rather quickly. Ancient Egypt has been a favorite subject of mine and this actually isn't my first time writing about th...
New update
Sorry for the slight delay, I got a bit overwhelmed with some of the choices around the end, so I stayed up until 7 in the morning to finish this BUT! Amazing news! CHAPTER 3 IS FINISHED! (on this first draft)The next chapter is looking out to be much longer, and also much more complicated in terms ...
Sneak peek
I'm so sorry, I meant to post this on Wednesday but I completely forgot π So here it is now, a snippet from the scene with Zaia from the upcoming Friday (tonight) update:"Do youβ¦ like sitting in the sun then?" you ask rather awkwardly to move on from the subject."Sometimes,"...

Thanks for everyone who wished me well too π₯° Last year was q...
Q&A question time
If you are interested, now here is an opportunity to ask about things you are curious or want to know more about. So, if any of you have any questions addressed to me, the lore, my sources, the game itself, or if you want to ask questions addressed to the characters, now is the time! Leave a comment...
New update
As usual, I underestimated some of the work in these scenes. Story of my life. I got a bit carried away with some of the RO scenes too, but it's all in good fun π I really like what came out of it, but it means I couldn't finish all of them, so for now, only Qenna's and Tabiry's e...
Tomorrow's update and sneak peek
Like I said some days ago, in this update, I will add more scenes to the time period where Petmes goes into his trance, so immediately before the showdown with Narmer. I'm still working on those scenes, but I am also adding a few more scenes afterthe argument, to show you the reactions. Here is ...
Full res character portraits
Here are the full scale, original landscape versions of the character art for the game. Merry Christmas for everyone β€οΈ
Santa Claus is coming for everyone
As a Christmas gift (and also because I wanted to) I finished some of the RO POV scenes! As a gift for everyone, I am making a public version of these. This version will be available until New Years, starting from now.The password is: christmasBe careful, the password is case sensitive so write it e...
Santa Claus is coming for Tier 2
As a Christmas gift (and also because I wanted to) I finished some of the RO POV scenes! As a gift for everyone, I will also make a public version of these that don't include chapter 3 spoilers. The public version will be available until New Years, starting from now. The patreon version will sta...
Map of Thebes
I made a map of Thebes some time ago, but it was missing some labels. Now I put them all up, so you can see where each MC lives and their companions π The picture is quite big, so you'll have to zoom in to see the text. The map is not historically accurate but it's as accurate as I could ...
New update
I feel like I managed the impossible. I didn't only rewrite those lost 5k words, but I reached 17k words with this update! How cool is that??? *patting my own shoulder with pride*In this update, you can continue the story where you left off. (saves made at the indicated point before CH3 should w...
Good news after the bad news and sneak peek
I managed to write back that big chunk of text that was lost. It took me most of yesterday, but at least it went faster than the first time because I already sort-of knew what I wrote back then. So, the update is still coming later today (probably late night European time). I don't know how much...
Bad news
I don't know how it happened but somehow the entire chapter 3 file got deleted and overwritten/autosaved by CSIDE just now. Which means all of the progress I made on the file since Monday got deleted too. Fortunately, I can recover the previous update files from the cogdemos website but the new ...
Update
The new update to the patreon demo is here with 19k extra words :D I'm super proud of myself for managing to whip this up while I was also sick, and flying, and everything else going on. This update contains some... surprises. Some good. Some not so much. What's new: 19k words added to CH3So...
Update coming tomorrow
I'm feeling much better now, and I made some good progress yesterday and today. So I think I'll be able to finish up the scenes I wanted tonight. Then tomorrow I'll add the rest of the choices (those that I randomly skipped in the writing process), and I think I'll be able to update ...
Sneak peek
So I started writing again today from bed, and good news for Ahmose-romancers, because I'm preparing the first flirt options with them π Here is a snippet from the shy option, which will be included in the next update: Oh, godsβ¦ Why are you like this? Seriously. This is the bloody princess/...
Getting better
Good news, the sickness is slowly passing ^^ I only have a small fever now and I can already eat small amounts of solids, so I'm hoping that I can recover by the end of the weekend. Plus I'm getting super bored in bed so I'm going to start writing a bit today π Today's update prob...
Why I'm not answering anything atm
Sorry for the sudden silence, I was flying yesterday across the continent to visit the family for Christmas, and it turns out I either got food poisoning or some stomach infection that's been going around the country lately. I figured that out pretty much the moment the plane took off. I was hor...
RO Character Sheets
I finally found a nice template for the character sheets, so I made these today! :D I blurred out the spoilers, but be aware that even the fact that something is blurred out can be SPOILERY. I will remove the blur gradually as more things are discovered about them in the game. I just noticed that th...
Da Chat and other plans
I opened up the chat here just now for members of both Tiers. You can always leave a comment under posts, but if you want to discuss something more in-depth, the chat is open! I'll always read the messages there and answer whenever I have time. Spoilers are also welcome, so those who can't r...
