Foxglove Games

In case you missed the news, Burn the Midnight Oil's Kickstarter was funded! 💖

We've raised $113,075 USD (or €96,596 EUR) and counting thanks to our backers. If you missed out on the campaign but really want to nab some merchandise or one of our other cool rewards like beta access, late pledges will remain open for the next few weeks!

Every extra penny made goes towards our stretch goals.

For the rest of this month, our socials might be a little quieter. We've already jumped straight back into working on the full game, but we're going to need a min to gather our bearings. Just know that we're working hard on our first demo update, which will add over 15k+ words and more art to the current demo!

That'd be a solid "Thankfully, Raoul is there to hold him back"

Neither, it's a Dante thing that will be explained in the story 😄

He has! Mostly at the start, when Dante wasn't used to having him around yet.

These days, injuries can still happen, but they tend to be minor and mostly involve humans, as Dante normally doesn't allow supernaturals threats to get too close to Raoul — often placing himself in the middle.

As for during the game... Well, you'll have to wait and see 😉

I honestly haven’t thought out the logistics of everything if it’s not relevant to the plot haha, but based on how they generally work, I would probably say no.

do you think you would ever do any poly routes in the future? just curious, not asking you to squeeze it in!

Thank you!

Dante's doesn't have any particular meaning, just him thinking it's cool :p

Lazarus has tattoos (the roses are for Circe). It's not the first set of tattoos he's had though.

Supernaturals keep themselves hidden from society is the simple explanation. This means some humans/parts of government or other organisations may know about them, but only under certain circumstances.

(There is more to this, but given that it won’t be relevant to the game right now, I don’t want to talk too much when we might end up changing things if we ever decide to write more. 🫣)

None of the characters you see them interact with in the demo are normal everyday humans unaware supernaturals exist. Non-humans have their own pubs/clubs, restaurants, even apartment buildings— most of them have limited to almost no contact with humans.

Werewolves can choose whether to have their ears out or not. So Alfred, for example, would hide his ears and tail outside Mirage.

(Assuming they're dating)

Iridis: He knows hellhounds well enough to expect it. Only nibbles though, no drawing blood.

Raoul: During certain activities, yes. Outside of those, no.

These answers are based on where the characters are at the start of the game.

Abraxas: Tough to answer

Edgar: Never
