New update

This update is quite interesting technically, which I'm going to elaborate on in a moment :D All in all, it's about 10 000 words, and it adds the part where your MC tries to escape from prison.

Now this will be a big branch in this chapter and it will also have lasting consequences for the...

Sneak peek 👀

This update on Friday is gonna be all about what MC is up to in the dungeon. I'm quite excited to show you this bit because I've come up with a few ideas that I really like, but I'll tell you all about it on Friday when I post the update! For now, here is a snippet from one of the choices you can...

New update

There are some interesting info drops in this update for certain characters. I'm curious what y'all think of it 👀 (feel free to use the spoilery chat btw)

About 14 500 words are added to Chapter 6, and most of it is playable. Friendship routes are still missing. I need to figure out how...

Sneak peek 👀

I'm continuing the writing for Chapter 6 this week because I got bored of the edits for the moment. So tomorrow is going to be a new-content update :))) Then next week, I will continue the edits, then the week after will be Ch6 again, and so on. Hopefully, these edits won't take too long now, but...

Summer scenarios poll ☀️

For a bit of a change this time, I was thinking to make these scenes more MC specific. So here is what I was planning: you can choose your favorites from the list here, and the first four is going to be selected randomly per MC background. So for example if cooking at home wins, I will pair that ...

Status update

I tackled the Chapter 2 edits this week!!! Most of it’s done. There are a lot of grammar fixes and other stuff, but since the code has been changed in many places as well, I will wait with the upload because I realised that if I upload it now, it’s going to make the rest of the game incompati...

New update

This week, I've been finishing the first round of edits for the first chapter. I caught many more smaller mistakes, and I'm also going to add a few more options there for different stuff. I will write down the whole list of changes once I upload the new files, but I will only merge the edits once...

New update

Sorry for the bit of delay, but here is the continuation of where the previous scene was left off 👀 A few more pages added, plus I was also busy editing this week, which simply seems never-ending 😶‍🌫️ If you run into any problems, please let me know!

Those who can'...

New update

Added the Chapter 6 file! There is currently an entire one (1) page written on it (on every romance route though, so that's actually 5 pages from my POV), but the most important thing:

DELETE YOUR SAVES!

Any save made before this point is not going to work anymore b...

New update

I spent more time editing this week, but I also added a lot of choices that were missing to Chapter 5. There are still some left to go, but I'm hoping to finish all of the chapter by next week and also start a bit of Chapter 6. We will see :) I only updated the Chapter 5 file now, so saves should...

This week's progress

I have done a lot of editing this week on the first few chapters, and added a few more missing choices to the game. This work is not super exciting for you because there is not much new content, but it's a crucial step that's been long coming because the game has passed 600 000 words and it reall...

June Q&A answers 🐪

I am going to go ahead and ask for a tier list/review of the places you visited in Egypt! Which were your favourites and why and all that 😊

Many of the places I went to was because I have personal connections with them, and I love being there, no matter how uninteresting...

I'm back 🐪

I'm back home :)

I will start posting things again, answer the Q&A, and those who haven't gotten the game and extras unlocked yet, please send me your cogdemos usernames, thanks! The game updates will be back as regular on Fridays. This week, I will start editing the earlier chapters a...

Travel journal #1

I’m in Cairo :) Went to a few places, saw a few cow and goat slaughterings on the street (lol no joke).

What’s more relevant though, the weather is quite cool. There has been a white mist over the city the past few days, which is something I’ve written about a few times in the game a...

June Q&A 🐪

[ENDED]

I will be slower to answer this month because I'm on vacation, but here is the question thread for June anyway if someone wants to know more about certain subjects 🐪 If you are interested to learn more about different things in the game, or about the characters, and the answer is...

The last of the Memphis market POV scenes

Ahmose's and Tabiry's scenes are here as well! I know it's usually not this time for specials, but I wanted to write them last weekend and I simply didn't have the mind space for it, so now, before I go on my flight, I quickly finished them :)

I hope you guys will enjoy it!

May Q&A answers

One time you released a short story where MC meets a child Ahmose 13 years from the main story. Is that meeting going to be brought up during the game?

Probably not, because I don't think any of them remembers it. Ahmose was only 5 at the time, so they definitely don't remember the meeting,...

Game update and next steps

Thank you all for being patient. Here is the last update before I go on vacation ❤️ The next game update will come at the end of June, or the first week of July. In case you haven't seen the post before, I'm going to be in Egypt for a few weeks, collecting more data about the game locations, ...

Memphis market POVs

I finished Narmer's and Zaia's scenes from the market, but my arm is still in a sling from last week's fall and it's starting to hurt after all the writing this week, so I really should rest it now. That means Tabiry's and Ahmose's scenes will be coming next weekend, as an extra next to the Q&...

New update

THE END OF CHAPTER 5 IS HERE! Woooooh!

I added the captain's missing scenes this week (priest and thief are still missing), plus, I finished writing the chapter on one string of choices! There are many greyed out options still, which are grey because I didn't write them yet, not because yo...

Sneak peek 👀

This next bit is a little personal spoiler for captain MC because I've been working on their path today. If everything goes well, I think I can get to the end of Chapter 5 on one string of choices by the end of Friday. Then I'll add everything else that's still missing next week! Exciting!

...

Qenna's POV from the Memphis market

I started with this one because someone here is very chatty throughout the scene, so Qenna's will probably be the longest. The rest of the scenes are coming next week :)

Those who can't access the game, please send me your cogdemos username here or in a DM so that I can unlock t...

New update

There are many missing scenes here, most of the choices are greyed out because they aren't written, and the last part is only playable by a noble MC, but I got the bulk of the writing down. I was going to finish more scenes today but I fell down the stairs and my entire right arm hurts so I'll go...

Sneak peek 👀

There will be quite a few things happening in this part of the story, and one of them is an origin-specific extra scene. Everyone here will get a scene with their RO, but here is the one from Ahmose's route:

---

One night while you are in camp, Ahmose approaches you with an interesti...

About June

When I made the May schedule, I intentionally left out June, because I will be going on a field trip. On a trip that I've been meaning to do for years, and now it's finally happening.

~drumroll~

I'm going on a road trip, from Alexandria to Aswan, for three weeks, visiting (n...

Military history

So as this month's lore post, because the next one will be replaced by a POV scene instead, here is one of my favorite subjects! MILITARY HISTORY YEEEAAAHHH! As you can guess, this is going to be long. I had immense fun writing it, and used the same sources as before.

Behold:

Brief...

New update

As I was writing the scenes this week, I made a plan.

I'm going to finish Chapter 5 in the next two weeks, but I'm going to do it in a way so that not all options will be available at first. I will add everything that's left during the last week of May, and then the whole chapter will be o...

Upcoming extras

Now that Tabiry also got her fair share with a longer special, it's time to think about what's coming next! In this month, there is one extra scene post planned, on the 18th of May, but if you want, I can make another one on the 25th instead of the lore post :) This one then will be available fro...

Sneak peek 👀

This update will contain a little adventure on that estate that our characters have stumbled upon. Something is going on here but what 🤔 Your MC will have a few choices in front of them. One of them, getting the animals out of the stables, is an option. Here is the first scene of that choice o...

How Tabiry got that scar

This week's special content is a longer scene for Tabiry about the time when she got that nasty scar on her chest that she shows MC if you go eat ice cream with her in Abydos. It's actually a bit of a lie because Tabiry tells the MC in the game about how she got the scar. It didn't happen in Theb...
