just finished what's out so far, and I want to cry because of how good this is. I'm totally gonna continue going for Vynn's route once the rest comes out. Even if it's during the summer, I will start the game all over again on my other laptop. Looking forward to more!
Is the issue that you can't play past chapter 3? Someone else has that problem and I'm still trying to figure out what causes that. Are you using an old safe file?
I can't play past the end of act 3, whenever I reach the end of act 3 there's no option to move on. I've tried uninstalling the game and reinstalling it but nothing is working. Does anyone know how to solve this?
It says "This is the end of Chapter 3 and the current end of this demo. I advise you to save at this point if you haven't already. Thank you so much for playing!" and then their are links to the patreon and tumblr
That's very strange. It's been over half a year since that version of the game even existed. If you are downloading the game, the current file is called "MisplacedV6.2.zip", make sure that's the one you have. Have you tried playing in a browser? Also, are you trying to use an old safe file? If it's from before the release of chapter 4, it might just not work with the current version.
hello i've just read all of the chapters over the last two days and this story is absolutely amazing!
one thing i'm curious about is that the "relationships" tab reads "The sight of your face sickens Lester" but i've always been polite to him? and whenever my character interacts with Lester he's also pretty chill, so i'm just wondering if maybe its a bug or i've done something to offend him and don't know.
OHH THATS A BUG?? I just thought he was into being degraded because when i was rude to him or ignored him it never went into the whole "he hates your guts" stuff. I hope that gets fixed but take your time
question, im still in the begining but from what i know thus far it honestly sounds like everyone mentioned would make an amazing friend group (like i said i havent even finished the first chapter so i dont kno if some crazy shit happens). So far it's giving me nostalgic feels of being young and having a close-knit group of friends who you always hang out with. my question though is can you have a good friendship with all of them and romance someone? currently, i want to romance Vynn cuz everything they say is the realest shit ever but the prince is so interested in everything and i want to have a close friendship but im not sure if thats a thing in this. if not thats fine, ill do two playthroughs and romance the prince but yk! just wondering! Also this is jaw-droppingly amazing btw!!! im in love with it and like i mentioned im only in the beginning so im super excited for whats to come
You can absolutely build strong friendships with multiple people and then romance one of them. The bigger problem is that not everyone will end up on the same side of the conflict in the end. Since you're only in the first chapter I won't say too much, just that trying to be friends with everyone might be more difficult than only caring about one person, but that doesn't mean it's not worth it.
Az’Lean is my husband and I feel sooooo bad for taking the secretive route. I just know he’s gonna freak when my MC eventually comes clean and I’m not ready for that yet. 😭😭😭
Yeah, it's sad to see how rarely anything gets finished. It's not easy to keep working on something like this consistently, but I've been doing it for almost a year now, so I feel confident in my ability to actually complete the story.
wow. I was rarely so immersed in a story here. Even the worldbuilding got to me ! Also, glad this is being currently worked on ; I might have not survived had this been abandoned... I want to know what's next !! I'm totally into this. Great work !
This story is truly gripping, it was interesting seeing how the stats changed while the mc hides their natur. And i truly cant wait to see if i'll acually be able to bring peace and unity
THIS IS FANTASTIC. I'm aromantic and there being a queerplatonic option in this game genuinely makes me so happy. I'm going for Vynn right now and the way they're written is EXCELLENT. Overall the writing style is gorgeous and I'm genuinely so invested in the story. Can't wait for the next chapter!!
Lester, a half-sprite. He is a servant at the castle and hides in plain sight, much like you. You and Lester have grown close. You managed to win him over.
Wow this was so immersive! I played all through until Chapter 5 in one sitting. I have a particular preference, but I appreciate that there's no easy solution to the moral dilemma at the heart of the story.
The worldbuilding is fantastic. I can't wait to learn more about the history--in particular the origin of the kingdom and more about the belief systems.
I also love the simple but pretty design; it's very easy on the eyes.
Thank you for creating this <3 Looking forward for more!
I think it depends on who you are close with. I got Vynn and Az'Lean. I'm very close with Vynn and somewhat close with Az'Lean and never talk with the others beyond necessary, I assume that's why.
Yes, it depends on how close you are to them. It's possible to get Thianne as an option, but she's more difficult to get close to than Vynn and Az'Lean for example.
So if I had Vynn, Az'Lean, Maeve, and Thianne as options, I must be doing at least decently well at befriending everyone. Is it possible to have Lester as an option at that point as well? You don't have many interactions with him up to that point, but I've always been nice to him.
Yes, you can also get Lester as an option (though his relationship stats were bugged for a bit, so maybe you missed out on some points). Then again, I think getting all five at the same time is really difficult, so if you got four of them, that's already an accomplishment.
eeeee i love this game!!! it's like one of the best storytelling games i've ever played, even if it's just a demo! rrr it's so good im going rabid but i have one thing: I wish we could go back if we dont like our choice instead of just going along with it or restarting. but love the game!!
Uh oh, it was definitely some timing to catch up on this story in time for chapter 5 :D
I'm really enjoying this, though! I like how the characters feel like their own fully-fledged people, and how there's no neat solution for the core conflict. I also especially love the way you're handling the mental health aspects!
Thank you for your hard work, I look forward to the next chapter! (Might jump on the Patreon one of these days, tbh)
Thank you for your kind comment, I'm glad to hear you're enjoying it! It's very important to me that the characters feel real, and not just like romance archetypes, so it makes me extremely happy to know that that comes across in my writing.
hi! i have a save in my laptop files for the game, but when i upload it, it says save from the wrong game. Do you know why this is or if there is a way to fix it?
It unfortunately means your save file isn't compatible with the current version. With a WIP, it just happens sometimes when I fix a bug or update something. You'll have to replay the game from the beginning. Sorry for the inconvenience!
i finally finished reading all this. its a great story and im hooked. though i do think we should be able to customise the MCs personality a bit more and their emotions and reactions towards things. its an interesting read nonetheless, cant wait for more.
Thank you for your feedback! You are right, that is something I'm still trying to get better at. This is my first time writing a dynamic protagonist, so I'm still struggling with balancing the fact that they need to have inner conflict and character development with the fact that they are supposed to still have a malleable personality. I appreciate you letting me know that you feel something is lacking there.
Finished all the availabe chapters, i love the concept and writing, however, the conflict seems very one-sided to me (at least from what is currently published, this might change when it's finished). Humans want to take land from fae and not allow them in it? Pressumably already took down a lot of the forest, and yet this was never despicted as being bad in the writing (except for one time Lady Maeve mentioned it, to which the mc responded weirdly). The only critique humans recieved was being racist towards half-fae, meanwhile fae got vilified for simply not letting their homeland be taken from them. Right now it just seems that you either pick the colonizers (humans) or the colonized (fae), i thought it would be about both sides being equally bad/wrong. I do have high hopes for this though, so i expect to be wrong abt this (hopefully) :)
Thank you for your feedback! There's a few things to keep in mind:
1. Take every bit of information with a grain of salt. What Maeve tells you, what Az'Lean says, what MC thinks they know to be fact - it's all biased in some way.
2. Narratively, there wouldn't be much incentive to side with the fae and abandon everything you've ever known if the humans weren't flawed. So there is a bit more focus on that at first. (Though I do think that the writing makes it clear that the humans can be quite ruthless and vindictive. So I'm not sure what you mean by it not being depicted as bad?)
3. The fae have done some bad stuff, to be sure, like the assassination of the Queen, or stealing newborns from their families. MCs father seems to be traumatised from the battles he was in, and knights don't usually grow old.
4. Humans, as far as they know, arrived on the continent at the same time as the fae. The fae say humans arrived later and started taking land. At this point, it's impossible to know which version is true. That's why MC reacted that way - they don't just take Maeve's word for it.
5. When you look at the map, the kingdom is in the middle of the continent, while the fae lands surround it. If the humans were colonizers, you'd think they'd have settlements on the shore and expand from there. The fact that they don't doesn't have to mean anything, but I'd say it's an indicator that the situation isn't quite as clear cut.
I hope that could give you some reassurance that the conflict will indeed turn out to be nunanced!
I still have a feedback about the linearity of the story if that's ok ! (I'm not used to writing in english so I hope it's understandable ahah)
I like that we can choose between pro-fae or totally loyal to the kingdom, but I feel we can't really choose how MC feel about being a changeling sometimes.
For example when learning about the shapeshifting ability, MC seems always reluctant or even disgusted by this power. I imagined a more pragmatic MC who had time to accept their changeling status would see this as an interesting advantage to use for their goal (to help the fae or kingdom), or a scared MC could see this as a reassurance and a possible escape if their fae-nature is revealed. A more open-minded MC interested in magic and fae magic could be intrigued, etc...
It was just an instance that I remembered and I forgot some, but most of the time the MC reaction was aligned with what I would have chosen 😁
Thank you for your feedback! You're right, there are probably some scenes where I could have offered more variety in the way MC reacts. This is my first time writing a non-linear story, so I'm still figuring out where the line is between an MC who has a fixed background and personality, and an entirely blank slate. But I will take your feedback to heart and try to to offer more variety/choices in that regard.

omg it says it was last updated on my b-day (mar 22) woah
I love it so far and I know I want Maeve no matter how she sees my character 😩
just finished what's out so far, and I want to cry because of how good this is. I'm totally gonna continue going for Vynn's route once the rest comes out. Even if it's during the summer, I will start the game all over again on my other laptop. Looking forward to more!
Wanted to romance Az'lean but my mc is basically his twin but shorter and i feel like i am on Vynn's route
Not me, hoping to see more of Cillian 🫣👉👈
Not me romancing Az'lean, and trying to end this peacefully...
Oop, but me too tho 🤣
The way the relationships between these characters are written made me tear up a little ngl, this was amazing
I'm shipping MC with Az'lean, I don't care if he gonna kill me.
real
Um it skipped all the way to episode 3?? And it's done?? But what-
Is the issue that you can't play past chapter 3? Someone else has that problem and I'm still trying to figure out what causes that. Are you using an old safe file?
I'm not sure I'm pretty sure it's the new one.
I was hoping for Lester to be a cutie but instead I got a damn leprechaun 😔😔😔
Did you see what he looks like? Did i miss something?
He was described to be a short red head with a beard :,3
I can't play past the end of act 3, whenever I reach the end of act 3 there's no option to move on. I've tried uninstalling the game and reinstalling it but nothing is working. Does anyone know how to solve this?
Is there no button that says "End of Chapter 3 - Shapeless"? How does the scene end for you?
It says "This is the end of Chapter 3 and the current end of this demo. I advise you to save at this point if you haven't already. Thank you so much for playing!" and then their are links to the patreon and tumblr
That's very strange. It's been over half a year since that version of the game even existed.

hello i've just read all of the chapters over the last two days and this story is absolutely amazing!

Yes, that's a bug, unfortunately. I'll try to get it fixed. Thanks for letting me know!
OHH THATS A BUG?? I just thought he was into being degraded because when i was rude to him or ignored him it never went into the whole "he hates your guts" stuff. I hope that gets fixed but take your time
my save file died when the new chapter came out...
I'm only on chapter two but I'm literally flabbergasted. This writing is so amazing?? Like everything is so wonderfully textured and just, wow.
Chapter 6 is so heartwarming HUHUHU the Grahms and Vynn are the best 🥺
Loved the update!
Glad to hear it!

love the writing! so excited to see how this all plays out! thank you for creating this!
Thank you for your kind words!
shocked I found a work that’s currently being worked on, I’m so used to abandoned wips. god I love you hahaha😌
Yeah, it's sad to see how rarely anything gets finished. It's not easy to keep working on something like this consistently, but I've been doing it for almost a year now, so I feel confident in my ability to actually complete the story.
vynn my beloved... excellent new chapter
Thanks!
wow. I was rarely so immersed in a story here. Even the worldbuilding got to me ! Also, glad this is being currently worked on ; I might have not survived had this been abandoned... I want to know what's next !!
I'm totally into this. Great work !
Thank you for your kind words! Seeing comments like this one really keeps me motivated :)
I was legitimately annoyed when it ended so soon. Well done! Love the story, the characters, and I look forward to seeing where it goes!
Thank you!
This story is truly gripping, it was interesting seeing how the stats changed while the mc hides their natur. And i truly cant wait to see if i'll acually be able to bring peace and unity
This is great!! I'm loving the story so far, you're an awesome writer!!
Aww, thank you!

Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying it!
might I ask which game u are speaking about?
Omg omg I know!!! I'm aroace here and I made an account just to comment the same thing!
LESTER
Lester, a half-sprite. He is a servant at the castle and hides in plain sight, much like you.
You and Lester have grown close. You managed to win him over.
Guess who managed the cat person :D
Congrats!
How do you get closer with Lester?
Um, be civil with him. He'll find you less annoying lmao
how to get that? i only managed to get his interest
This is by far the most creative interactive story I've ever seen :) Bravo, you got me hooked!
Aww, thank you!
the writing is sooo good<3 I've never finish this type of game cuz i got bored easily but this one I'm hooked.
just wanna ask, how many chapters do u plan to make?I'm so looking forward for more.
take ur time tho
Thank you! Right now, I'm planning for it to be somewhere between 15 to 20 chapters long.
Im so obsessed with this game that I've started making fanart sos
I love to hear that, that's like the highest honour
