Demonheart: The Cursed Trial News

This update adds a few features and small fixes, to prepare for the upcoming Chapter 6!

[h2]You can expect the new chapter to be added in the following days![/h2]

[h3]v1.27 changes:[/h3]

• Added Steam achievements! Currently, the game includes achievements for finishing the existing chapters, finding two bad endings, and the achievements for maxing out different alignments, just like in the first Demonheart!
  
• Added an in-game achievements section, viewable from the main menu -> Extras.
  
• Implemented a way to delete save files, through the X button in the corner of each save slot.
  
• Added one new background - the interior of Leona's house.
  
• Fixed music in one scene.
  
• Changed the wording of some lines in Chapter 5.
  

As of this update, the game will track if you accused Leona while defending Kaisar in Chapter 4, so there will be a reference to it in Chapter 6, which is still in development. If you don't replay, it will be treated like you backed Kaisar but did not accuse Leona (it doesn't make a huge difference.)

Also, the wording in some lines near the end of Chapter 5 has changed, but the meaning hasn't.

Hello, demonhearts and VN enjoyers! ;)

Here's a quick progress announcement on Demonheart: The Cursed Trial, which is in early access.



I've finished the first version of the textual content for Chapter 6, and a new CG with Kaisar is also ready.

Some of the mysteries are finally going to be revealed in this chapter, with some remaining for the seventh, last one. There is going to be a big choice concerning Ran. Another choice will be about Kaisar, possibly only available if you have a certain type of relationship with him.

I was also replaying the Cursed Trial from the start and made changes to many lines, and also added a few special lines in case you named your protagonist Bright.

Next, I will start testing Chapter 6 to edit and polish the content and write any missing choices. The plan is to have it added to the game in mid- to late September.

Thank you for following!

In this update, I added a few lines for the Seer and Elos to make them acknowledge if you named your character Bright. (Like the protagonist from the first Demonheart - the Seer knew her personally, and the bard knows some tales about her.)

There has been another update recently that affected more of the characters' lines. You can read about the changes here: Update v1.24.

Meanwhile, I'm working on Chapter 6 and more updates!

In this update, I edited a lot of lines in the existing chapters and added some more choices. Many lines have been rewritten for better flow or to better reflect the intended meaning without changing the story.

Here is a list of lines that changed meaning and new choices added:

• When you meet Vita, you can now clearly answer that you never "made the wrong people angry" without criticizing Vita.
  
• Added a choice to be extremely nice to Kaisar when you first meet him + a choice to tell him he should visit Raven Falls.
  
• Changed Elos's reaction to Janiya when they first meet. Instead of smiling deliriously, he questions if she is offering him water for free and appears more in thought.
  
• Fixed an error while exploring the crypt - Vita didn't always take a candle to test it, but it was being referred to later. She will now take a candle and spill wax in every choice.
  
• Rewrote and added some lines when Ran and Vita talk about the black bow in the watchtower.
  
• Changed what Leona says about Elos on Day 2 when you say that you should both watch out for him.
  
• Added a tactful option to ask Leona about Ran on Day 2. Leona clarifies that they are not together. Added another rude option to push her to say something similar, except she gets very angry.
  
• Rewrote some of Ran's lines to make it clearer that he's not attracted to Leona.
  
• Changed the wording of some of Bane's lines to make him sound more epic and less modern.
