Transylvania 0.4.07: As Above so Below is now available!
🕑 Added 2023-05-01 02:10:20 +0000 UTCHey guys,
It's the end of the month again and another patch is here. This update focuses on two things - a new story branch in Chapter 3, expanding both on Ishtar and Felicia, as well as significant art updates to the game.
First, let's talk Felicia
In addition to the new branch, this month I wanted to begin the process of expanding the options that Felicia offers, should you choose to invest in a relationship with her. To begin this, Chapter 1 was updated to offer an alternative way to pay her debt and begin the more advanced stage of a relationship. While this remains fully optional, it will be easier to achieve in case you miss the first opportunity.
Next, Felicia in chapter 2 now has 2 brand new illustrations for her scenes, for those that continue to stick with her. Also now your choices there matter, and tie in to Chapter 3.
The new content of chapter 3 offers a lot of variation and brings new choices, some of which may steer your favorite Feline in new directions, or expand what you've already started. I won't spoil more, but I hope you will enjoy it :3
It's worth mentioning that due to the scope of this update, this particular branch concludes with a dead end. But soon enough you will be able to take all of this even further, and to new eventual conclusions of Alex' story, which may or may not involve a certain feline...
A brief note on Art
I don't want to toot our horn too much, but all the artists have done amazing work for this update, and with your increasing support, it is one of the biggest art updates ever.

Late to the party, this time it seems - but man, I can only concur with Kekster17 and Kazuma - this is one of the most refined, classy, and enticing CYOAs I've ever played. The production quality is really high here - befitting of the project. Thx for the increasing awesomeness here ^^

This hands down one of the best games I have played in years. The story and characters are phenomenal dynamic. The art as well brings to life this dark and warped world that reminds me of Stephen Grammell and Lovecraft. I am eager for more and cannot wait to see how this devastatingly beautiful story reaches it's many potential conclusions
