Second act of the fantasy, adventure, and love story influenced by the Guanche culture where you will navigate a fantasy world and face the destiny that the gods have chosen for you and your loved ones.


Synopsis

You find yourself in an unknown world. With time and powerful sources against you, you and your friends rush to end the corrupted cycle once and for all. However, a new setback leads you down a much different path.

The light brought by hope shines bright around them, but few are the ones who know about the darkness lurking within. The queen is the most powerful piece of the board, but it all depends on how much you trust her to aid you on your quest.

The Void is calling. Will you answer?

Love Interests

Remnants Of The Past includes five romantic options.


Leire/Luca, the guard

A fearless warrior, as fierce in battle as their hair is red and capable of making any demons tremble with a single glance. They worked as a guard in the town of Sorrol, where they lived alone with their older sibling in their parents' house since a tragic accident took them away when they were young.

They highly value their privacy and it's not easy to get to know them, as they are very selective about the people they let into their life. Luckily you are one of them, and you have been able to see that there is something more under that rough exterior that they try so hard to maintain, even if it has been only a few times. Yet you get the feeling that you've only scratched the surface of their complex being.


Ada/Omar, the doctor.

Doctor of Sorrol, and heir to the throne of Thaon. After the great civil war in Astian, they decided to accompany you on your journey to save the world alongside your friends. With their kingdom secure, they aim to end the corrupted cycle and keep their people safe so they don't have to live in fear anymore.

And if they can, they'll do so in style.


Albert/Lavina, the builder.

Kind, devoted, considerate and Sorrol's star builder, the oldest of the Terrastars does their best to take care of their little sibling, with whom they lived in one of the oldest houses of their village before it was destroy by the demons.

But although they are capable, the heavy burden they'll have to carry on their shoulders from now on will have a great impact on them. Only time will tell if they'll survive the weight and manage to not drown with it.


Rayco/Gara, the guardian.

Sorrol's old tavern keeper, and guardian of the human world. This celestial being came from Taoro, the world of the great goddess Abora, in search for you, their mortal companion, in order to end the corrupted cycle that threatens the five worlds and send the tibicenas back to Echeide.

However, to avoid the destruction of life as you know it, a price must be paid, and that price is their own life. And what's more, you are the one who must take it from them when the time comes. But when it's the life of someone you care about, the decision is not as easy as it seems.



Belicar/Nisa, the renegade.

The person of your dreams, literally.

A strange creature you met in your dreams. Their close and familiar attitude confuses you, they know more than they say and don't try to hide it, in fact they seem to enjoy getting on your nerves.

They claim to be a friend and assure you that you're safe with them, but you can't help but get the feeling that this protection comes with a price, and right now you don't know if it's worth paying.

You know they have the answers to all your questions. It's only a matter of time to see if they're willing to reveal them.

Things you should know

  • This is a WIP. The story is very long and what I am sharing is only the first draft. With time I could edit chapters that I have already published, changing some scenes or deleting them completely if I think it’s the best.
  • The language is in English, however, it is NOT my mother tongue and there will be grammatical errors. I would really appreciate if you let me know filling a bug report form so I can fix it. Link at the end of the page.
  • I'm a VERY slow writer, and I currently don’t have a schedule for updates, but there should be a new chapter every few months. However, keep in mind that I am only one person, and therefore, the time between updates can vary greatly depending on the length of the chapter and personal problems I may have in real life.

I think someone played Subnautica when writing this chapter :D. Just give me thos feels.

Lol! I've never played Subnautica, actually. First person and giant monsters? No, thank you xD. The depths of the ocean and outer space are the two things I respect the most. It was tough for me to play Outer Wilds for that reason. I got scared every time I saw the Red Giant and had to turn the camera somewhere else, hahaha!

But if you get Subnautica vibes while reading it means I managed to convey the underwater atmosphere well, and I'm glad of it :D

As always, thanks for reading and for the comment! <3

Love the chapter. Flirting with Nisa is fun, can't wait to see how it will blow up in MC face :D

Nisa can't wait either, lol! ;D

Hello! I submitted this as a bug report when chapter one was first published (I'm very sorry if I'm just being impatient)  but I noticed the card on the trello didn't have a priority color so I got worried I may have messed up my report somewhere.

When selecting Leire/Luca as my love interest and saying I know I love them, the game hard stops. There seems to be an extra | symbol in the choice link, so it's trying to take me to a passage (that doesn't exist) named "|NC23" rather than "NC23" and preventing me from proceeding

Sorry again if I'm just being impatient! I loved Act 1 and am very excited for Act 2.

Oh no, don't worry, you're not being impatient at all! It was my bad, Trello should notify me when I get a card, but it just doesn't for some reason and I have to check it manually, which, as you have noticed already, I completely forgot about :')

Thank you so much for letting me know and, most importantly, for your patience! The issue is already fixed and you can go love our favourite grumpy guard all you want :D

Damn that extra | symbol xD

Thank you so much!! I read Act 1 during the free period so unfortunately I didn't have an exported save to bypass the error. Just my luck to be on the one route to suffer the unyielding wrath of a single-character typo in a line of code loll. No more gazing longingly at Act 2 through the window for me <3

Very nice start, was a good read.

Few issues tho:

Imported save data from previous game

Save:https://gofile.io/uploadFiles

Icons seem to be broken

Misspelled word in Adas codex entry


Error in Enids codex entry


And last and most important issue:

FUCK YOU ITCH FOR NOT NOTIFYING ME THAT THIS UPDATED!

Shame on Itch for not notifying you! But at least you're here now, so we got a happy ending xD.

Thank you so much for letting me know of these errors! They're all fixed already! 

I don't know why icons are broken for you, though. I've tested it with an old save I had and it works fine for me both on PC and mobile. Maybe it's the browser you're using? But if Act 1 works fine and it's only Act 2, then I'm afraid I have no idea.

Never mind about the buttons, Dark reader add-on broke them.

Bit of a technical question, finished the act 1 few days ago and just wanted to know how will the save/choice transfer happen?

A new character creation and then pick what happened in act 1 or some sort of save transfer?

Mostly just want to know if i should keep save from the ending or i shouldn't worry about that.

I've been testing a few things to see if you can import the save from Act 1 to Act 2, but I haven't found a way yet. For now I'd say keep the save file just in case, but if I haven't figure something out to import your previous choices by the time I release Chapter 1, I'll just create a new character creation and let you pick all the important choices at the beginning.

I'll let you know if the save file is important when I finish Chapter 1. Have a great day <3

Maybe try and see how Superstition did it? Ask the dev maybe? She managed to have some sort of save export at the end of seasons.

Will do! Thank you the suggestion!

Just finished reading the first act and im really looking forward to how the story will progress from there! I also enjoy the conversations with our dreamperson haha. The characters are well written and the story as well as the world building are interesting. The tension is well kept with chunks of information thrown your way but just enough to understand a bit but not too much as to spoil the guessing game. All in all, i am really looking forward to Act 2! Thank you for all your hard work!

Thank you so much for the lovely message! I'm glad to know the mystery is still up! Sometimes I wonder if I'm being too obvious xD. Hopefully, I have a few tricks up my sleeve should, and I know of at least two huge things people won't be able to figure out until we reach that part of the story ;).

I hope you enjoy Act 2 as much or even more than Act 1! Wishing you a great day ahead! <3
