Demo update - Experimental Art

Summary

Small update to signal that the game is still alive! It brings a few new events in the Rift and in town, as well as some quality of life improvements. Most importantly, I decided to experiment with some simple art for the game. For now it’s just going to be character portraits, so as a proof of concept I’ve added a portrait for Mary (shows up on most of her route, except in the final blackmail parts). This update adds another 4K words spread out over a bunch of small events.

Changelog

• Mary now has a portrait that shows up when you talk to her.
• New generic (rare) event in the Rift (you’ll need to get some willpower).
• Three new conditional events in the Rift that start showing up as you progress the story.
• Two new events while exploring in town, hinting at what’s to come.
• Innkeeper gossip! The innkeeper will now tell you rumours based on what’s happening in the story. Talk to him sometime, will you.
• Traits can now be viewed in the character screen.
• Town locations will now have an (!) next to them if there are new events available.
• Game now autosaves after exiting the Rift
• Writing fixes and updated SugarCube version, let me know if something is broken.
