Is this game abandoned?

Love this so much! I've played this game maybe 3 times now and I desperately need Mr. Worthington's reaction to accepting his proposal. He is absolutely adorable and Guy being an idiot was the best thing to ever happen to Ms. Fernside. Massive upgrade! :D

First of all I absolutely love the writing. Second, I'm so glad to have found another period era otome game! Excited to see the rest of the story.

I can't wait for the full version!

I was quiet surprised that the writing of this game actually lured me to the hurdles of MC's life, as if I had become one with her through ups and downs. Although it was a bit confusing for me at the beginning, because I seemed to not understand much about what happened, but the journey I went through from this story was so worth it that I couldn't help but go along it for hours. 

Tbh I thought that Mr. Worthington would be the best option for me, but as I get deeper into the story I think he's more like a big brother rather than a life long partner. And I guess so far Cpt. Sinclair was a bit intriguing, I need a better knowledge of who he really is. Well for Guy, I had enough with him, I had in mind that maybe he has been through lot of thing but nevertheless he should've treated MC better. 

I love that this game was set in regency/Georgian era, kind of remind me of Emma by Jane Austen. 

Once again I'm so looking forward for Truth Untold's development <3

I like your POV´s. I curios about the POV Worthington comfort the MC.

I loved everything about this demo, from the compelling story and characters and the wonderful writing to the beautiful music and graphics (I really liked the animated character sprites!). I truly look forward to playing the complete VN!

Dang the writing in this feels amazing. This was so interesting since I don't really know much about these eras...Great Work! I really want to find out more about the story's progression. 

<3 Lots of love for your work!

Can I say that Cpt. Sinclair reminds me of Brash from Demonheart, with that crooked smile and hair, but with an much more irritating face. However he eventually grew on me with his unexpected moments of consideration and support.

I actually think that the dispassionate proposal from Mr. Worthington makes sense. He is in a way, trying to approach it from the perspective of a protector who is trying to fix a mistake, and may be afraid of scaring her away from him by showing any romantic affection. After all, he has known her since she was a young girl, and he definitely does not want her to think that he has been thinking of her in that inappropriate way.

I have no affection for Guy. I certainly agree with the Miss Fernside, that if he could think her capable of the rumours, that he is unworthy of her.

It is definitely very rewarding to have supportive parents, even if the friends are nonexistent. I really hope to have the option of some kind of reconciliation between Miss. Fernside and her friends, or even for her to make new ones!

I'm also hoping that Miss. Fernside might pick up some other hobbies. It seemed that a lot of time passed ingame with her not really doing very much. Perhaps she might try to wrap her thoughts around Plato, trade, military strategy, or maybe even sewing dolls for the orphanage. Anything but being idle!

I am SO looking forward to this game and its Kickstarter! <3

Thank you for creating this!

Oh my... I can't wait for the full release. Truths untold is just what I needed right now ! I have to admit Mr. Worthington is my favorite, but I like Guy too. I mean... the angst ! And a childhood sweetheart? Yes I'm here for it ! The captain? Well I don't see him as a potential RO yet... But, but ! It's probably because I'm biased and am only focused on Mr. Worthington haha. Anyway thank you for this pearl ! And I wish you all the best ♥

Just out of curiosity, percentage-wise, roughly how close is this game to completion? Interactive regency games are my absolute favorite and I adored this demo way back when I originally played it, so I'm always happy to see a new update pop up on my feed. :)

Great artwork, excited for the full release!

Aaah this was so good!! Really excited for the rest of it <3 I loved all the LIs but I'm kinda leaning towards Guy, lol. I just like angst

I loved it! Can't wait for the full story to be released!

I'm not usually a fan of VNs, but I really got into this thanks to the fantastic writing. Another fan of Mr. Worthington here! I agree with the Colonel Brandon comparisons but I'd add a touch of Mr. Thornton too (perhaps more looks-wise). I loved the way he kept coming to the rescue. I understood why our character resisted thinking of him in that way, but we really seemed to be digging our heels in the dirt about it. I was a little bit disappointed at the dispassionate manner of his proposal and his curtness when Sunday came around - I almost wanted to reject him because of that (without discouraging him entirely). I hope the full game will have the slow-burn build-up with this character and perhaps have him hide his feelings a bit longer to give us a chance to really fall for him. Great artwork, some really funny dialogue, and I liked the clothing selection. I'm looking forward to the full game!

I love the game! I cannot wait for it to be completed XD

I like this demo very much! The Music is very emotional and beautiful.  The changes in the dialogue is very nicely done. Mr. Worthington is my favourite . But Captain Sinclair is just behind. His qualities are very positive in the new demo. Mr. Linfield owed us a good explanation for his rude behavior. I like Orion more as his owner. Keep up this great work. Thank you for this beautiful game. Looking for new updates and the final product.

This demo was so good!! The story was super engaging and I love the dialogue. It was definitely evident that the way you choose to speak and feel about things influenced your character and other people's attitudes towards you. The interactions with other characters felt very natural and realistic. You do often have dialogue choices, but even when you don't your character speaks in a way consistent with your previous choices. The game is very dialogue-heavy and it was super engrossing; I replayed a few different conversations to see how they'd go and it was interesting to see how different dialogue choices influenced the conversation. The CGs were great as well, and the dressing-up parts were fun. I loved how the dresses influenced what people said about you. It really helped convey the point of people in this society being very judgmental down to even the color of dress you're wearing. I ship MC x Mr. Linfield because she seems really in love with him and it's very bittersweet (hell yeah gimme that angst), but Mr. Worthington is such a good guy and I think they'd be great together too if she opened up her heart to him. Cpt. Sinclair is definitely a bit of a scoundrel but I found the dialogue with him to be the most interesting. Best of luck with the rest of the game, looking forward to the finished product! :) 

Hi I really enjoyed this Demo, I am glad that you have given me an opportunity to do so.I have to say that I haven't played anything this good Since Regency Love came out, and that was a while ago. 

It would be a shame to see your VN join the hundreds of other abandoned projects on here, with that being said I'm given reason to hope otherwise seeing as you've responded to similar questions in the comment section below. 

lol capt hugh looks like Bill Weasely and I am all for it

I generally don't play demos because I've been burned before where I fall in love with games and they get abandoned, but I may just crack for Truths Untold.  It just sounds so good, plenty of choices, able to shape the MCs personality, and it has my favorite trope of all time: a childhood friend LI.  I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this at any rate!

I like this game; the more Regency/Victorian games, the better!

My MC has a sharp tongue and lots of spirit. What society did to her was extremely unfair, (un)fortunately, she's not one to hold back from speaking her mind and putting people in their places. There shall be a reckoning for whoever started the rumor. It's scandalous and likely to land her in some hot water, but as the saying goes "I will not have the fame without the benefit." In a sense, Mrs. Harlow could almost pass as her role model.

Also, of all the ROs, Mr. Worthington is my favorite. Linfield is... well... he can take a nose dive into a ditch after what happened. Sinclair gives me bad vibes, like those guys that like to take women for a spin and then dump them when bored. (Also, not really a good idea to marry someone who is going to spend large amounts of time away.) 

Worthington is considerate, respectful and a long-time friend; a good foundation for a relationship. His origins and age put him at a disadvantage, by society's standards, but I consider him the best candidate (also because the other two aren't in a good position to begin with).

I love the Demo.  Will there be more of this story?

More sauciness, I say! I love playing a quick-witted, spirited young lady who loves horses, scandal, and doesn’t care a whit about what society says. I see the other two routes are basically being Elinor Dashwood or playing it very straight as a blushing, virginal maiden. But, quite honestly, I prefer the saucy lass.  

I pursued Mr Worthington (DADDY) and I cannot complain; all the tension had me metaphorically biting my nails. I imagine the full game will allow different interactions and dialogue options that don’t make the romance seem so one-sided; at times I wanted to slap the MC and yell “you fool! he is hot and yes we want him!” because she seemed so put off by his very presence. 

However, I am a bit uncomfortable by certain implications found in the MC and Mr Worthington romance. How young is she? And, more importantly, how old was she when she enjoyed those riding trips with him? I can tell he was inspired by Col Brandon and Mr Knightley (fave), as he is a combination of the most questionable aspects of both romances.

I mean, girls sometimes presented in society as young as twelve, you know? The art makes her look as someone between fifteen and twenty, so that I can’t tell what age she’s supposed to be in-story. I wouldn’t mind if she’s twenty and he’s in his early thirties (which is what he seems/looks like), but if she’s younger than that and on top of that took riding lessons with him when she was a little girl. That’s… weird. Off-putting kind of weird. It doesn’t reflect well on his character, that’s all. And I know it wouldn’t raise eyebrows during the Regency, but we know better now, and there are better ways to preserve historical accuracy (which I like in this particular game, by the way) than playing as some bloke’s child bride.

Anyway, I can definitely see myself doing a second playthrough for the dastardly Capitan Sinclair; I never even thought to pursue him, but he won me over completely. Actually, I think that if this were an actual regency novel, I would prefer the official ending to be MC/Sinclair, though I still prefer Mr Worthington myself.  

I suppose I’d also go through the Lindfield romance route if only to see what the full story is, though I don’t find him particularly interesting and, to be quite honest, I dislike him.  

I’m bisexual and I’d love a GxG romance route with either Emily or Jane, to be honest, though I understand why the developer would choose not to go with it.  

Let’s talk about the supporting cast! Lady Harlow is delightful and I wouldn’t mind seeing more of her or any other like-minded character (maybe we'll get to see the scandalous London season?). The MC’s parents are also fun characters, each alive with their own personality and agenda. I wonder if we will ever see James…   

By the way, I am not so opposed to the cousin. I mean—in Rome, do as the Romans do… and, at the time, being with a first cousin wasn’t so bad. It could be a joke ending to end with the dull cousin, wear the trousers in the relationship, and end as a Bad Bitch.

Wishing the best to the developers! It is a great demo.

Omg. I lOOOOVED the drama in this, ha. Totally living for it right now.  Mr. Worthington and Lady Harlow are my MVPs, haaaaa!

I'll try to go back now and play the other routes, but ma girl is like... "Dump that locket asap.... who needs him... and ditch that creepo guy who keeps stalking me in the woods, ha. I just want to go horseback riding everyday with my landed gentry hot husband, lalala!"

Not sure if this will be a free game in the end, but I'd happily pay for the final game/dlcs/etc.  Following from now on! Best wishes on your future work and happy holidays!

Forgot to mention -- Worthington very much reminds me of Mr. Knightley, love it!

This is so good! I loved playing it! I can see myself falling in love with all of the characters! They feel refreshingly well thought out. I can't wait to see what will come next! I will say, so far my favorite love interest is Worthington, I can't help but think of Darcy or Colonel Brandon, which are some of my favorite of Austen's love interests. I am quite interested to see how the Guy route works out. I feel like I'm going to spend that whole time feeling bad about putting Emily through that pain of stealing her man again. Anyways, Thanks for such a fun demo!!

I loved the game! I think it's the first where I didn't skip one bit and the storyline actually got my full attention. I am in love with Mr. Worthington cause I somehow see Mr. Darcy in him haha. 
If the full game is released, will it also be available here in the web? 
Anyways, keep doing a great job!! I really admire your work! Thank you for creating this! :)

Okay, first of all I must say that I liked it and secondly that I am looking forward to the full release. I really loved everything about the game. The background music, writing ... from the graphics that look like a beautiful painting (and it moves!) to the characters. I already see that I will have to play more than once to be satisfied because two characters completely different from each other have already made my head scrr (and sorry if I wrote something wrong, I don't speak English but I needed to say that the game is a pearl

This game was a pleasant surprise! I am a little tired of straightforward otome games without some kind of twist, but this was not only a dating game, but an excellent and engaging story. The characters were believable, and not simply wish fulfillment. I loved the storyline of a girl with a compromised reputation and what that might feel like, as well as her beautifully articulated emotions towards her family, her friends, and her lost love. The facial art and movement in particular made the sprites feel alive.

I especially want to praise the attention to period detail. I know Regency Britain pretty well, and often artists and writers who cover that period want their main character to be superior to the setting, as if they hold a disdain for it. I deeply appreciate that you didn't overly modernize the character. She is bold and opinionated for her time, but also holds true to the values of the society she grew up in. She cares about the opinion of society, because it will determine her entire future, and this game shows exactly what being exiled from society feels like. Even small things, like the distance between Colette and the maid, provide an insight into how this culture is different from our own. People from the past can be lovable, intelligent, and interesting without being exactly like us. And the costumes are appropriate and beautiful- I'm no expert for exact details but I appreciated the use of hats outdoors and high necklines for daytime. 

I really like Mr. Worthington. It's a 18th/19th century trope to name characters after their personalities, and his 'worth'  and consideration was really appreciated after being dropped by Guy! I don't know how you managed to make a sprite convey so much emotion through his facial expressions! Plus he looks like Richard Armitage, which doesn't hurt. As much as I like him, that proposal was so awkward that I felt second hand embarrassment for Colette! I suppose Jane Austen would call it a 'manly' proposal, but with the parents pushing it, and his talk about friendship and alliances, I almost felt sorry for him. 

I'm looking forward to the full game! Very cruel and very effective to cut us off right after the proposal. 

What a lovely game! I love both Mr. Sinclair and Mr. Worthington! I was surprised that I enjoyed Mr. Sinclair as much as I did but he turned out to be very geniune. And I couldn't find any faults in Mr. Worthington's behavior or treatment of MC- he's such a good man. Do you have a tentative approximate time for release- even if it's just what year it might be released in?

So excited about this to be out!! 

it is almost 5am playing this and Ive just finished the Demo w no sleep.... I am utterly defeated. thought okay cute a little kid sweetheart romance route when deciding that Im going to choose Guy and stick with it.. Im broken I played her (the MC) like a heartbroken/lovelorn emotionally defeated widow and I have mad respect for Sinclairs character after all my soulless depressing stuff I pulled. 

this is a lovely game and thank you for making it <3

The art is gorgeous! It's refreshing to see this style of art in an otome game. The facial expressions everyone makes and the way the transition moves like the mc is looking up to people's height (looking at you Silas 👀) are what I had never experienced in a visual novel game. I'm looking forward to more surprisingly creative details the creators will pull out for us! The atmosphere for the opening of this game is something. None of the dialogues makes me zone out at all. The front is beautiful but it's going to take me more time to read them through for sure. (Hopefully there might be a front option or size alternation?)

(Small spoiler below. I don't know how to insert a spoiler feature so please bear with the length of this comment)

As you can tell, my fav LI might be Mr. Worthington. I'm looking forward for interactions with less... pressure? between the two. Some flashbacks to the scenes that can show us why she can confidently say he's a friend to confine to despite the age gap would be nice. So far in the demo the air is filled with such intensity that noone is at ease with each other; especially these two. The scene before the demo ends is rather a surprise for me. Although as much as I'm in for his route, it can't be help that everyone knows it's out of responsibility ( or not? Let's see how their relationship will develop over time) 

I hope there will be more reactions to the mc dialogue responses though. Just a little acknowledgement to the dress we just picked, the way mc spoke to them, and her internal monologue including how mc can acknowledge her mood after what we chose too.

Lastly, I can see how much passion you two put into this game. Keep up with all the love you can throw into this gem!

Oh, much love went into making this. I'm surprised by the amount of expressions and the fact that you even bothered to adjust the character's point of focus via their eye position.

May I assume that the shacking at the beginning should simulate the carriage moving over small bumps in the road?

Wow I loved playing this! The art is lovely, the story is lovely... Unexpectedly I like all three of the love interests a lot, Sinclair surprised me with his moment of genuine kindness and sincerity and would love to get more of those. Worthington is definitely who I would marry IRL, friendship and respect > romantic love for a foundation of a marriage, especially a 19th century marriage. Guy is who my Miss Fernside is holding out for, at least until he actually proposes marriage to Emily. Lowkey Ludlow is the most attractive out of any of them but unfortunately personality-wise he's.... hm. Definitely one of my favorite VNs so far even though it's finished. I'm hoping for some kind of chance to try and make up with Emily too.

This was such a great demo!! I can't wait for the full game to be released. I second the comment about this feeling like a jane austen novel, it really does! I like all the guys so far! Guy is just gonna be full of angst I can sense it already and I'm sure his route will be heart wrenching as I played a resentful Collette lol but then after that meeting near the ruins I wore my locket finally lol Worthington is the one I leaned toward at first, I just sense a passionate man underneath all his gentlemanly demeanor. Sinclair was starting to win me over though! At first I took his crooked grin as a mockery but his sincerity shown through a bit and I was really considering falling for him instead. This has to be finished, it's too good not to be. Adding music and sound effects will be the icing on the cake :D
