Hi everyone,

This was a long time coming (actually, it's 6 months late... waves at things) but The Trials and Tribulations of Edward Harcourt is FINALLY COMPLETE!

Chapter 5 and 6, along with the 5 different Epilogues have been added to the game. So you can now discover what sordid affair was happening in the depths under Castle Garbuie.

Will you save the day? Will you perish in your trials? Only your choices will tell!

PLAY THE FINAL CHAPTERS!

Along with the additional chapters, there have been changes in the back end code (due partly to the SugarCube update and to the update). There are still a few things I'd like to implement (Achievements, QoL and accessibility, etc...), so while the story is complete, this is technically an OPEN BETA.

The update includes:

a New Game+ function (to unlock a hidden option)

a Character Randomiser (for Chapter 1)

and a Discord (for bugs and feedback)!

For the full breakdown, check the dev log on itch:

And now you're doing it again.

Please check this series out

In this update, you will get:

New chapter (Chapter 6)

New character

New visual for Rose

New System

From now on, if you lose the game in the first passage/start of each chapter, you will go to the start of previous chapter. For example, if you lose in the beginning of Chapter 5, you will go to the start of Chapter 4.

Thank you for playing and I hope you enjoy it.
