This is definitely one of the IF Twine with best game mechanic so far. Putting the puzzle one by one giving me the thrill and itch to find out wtf is happening. Still, I don't manage to solve ot because my save was lost and losing my progress is too much for me haha. I will get back at this once more.
im loving it, the story is interesting, and the plot intruiguing(?)[why is english so hard??]. i hope everything is allright Mx. manonamona, with work and life in general, and im going to eagerly wait for the next update.
Thank you! That's really lovely! <3 Life is... life... But I have been slowly getting back on this project. Hopefully another intriguing chapter will appear sooner rather than later 🤞
While you wait, you might find some of my other intriguing newer projects interesting ;)
Yeah, sorry bout that. The priority has changed a tad because I participated in a few competitions this year... But fingers crossed progress should become a bit more substantial in the next few months.
aaa hello!! i still didnt find the numbers for it! and i went to the link for your tumblr but i still didnt find itt i'm very sorry if i'm annoying you btww!! i just gotta see the prince! (love your game btw!!<3)
Heya story is wonderful just looking at when last it was updated nearly a year ago so wondering if the project is still ongoing or if it was abandoned like alot of the grear works you find on here?
oka i think the game needs some work in terms of nouns and such for example it would be better to call victoria princess rather than prince. also if i am not wrong there is bug where the mc is referred using female pronouns even though the mc is chose was male.
while these are some minor ones , but even after that the game was quite incredible . also when is the next chapter/act coming out ?
Concerning titles, please check this post on my Tumblr. This was deliberate.
As for the MC's pronouns, they should not be changing. Could you fill in the bug report form so I can fix it? I would need the passage's name where the pronouns change.
I post progress on updates on my Tumblr (i am technically on a small break rn).
So this is a particular question that, if one wanted to act upon it (like to incorporate this different perspective), would require a ton of work but I can't help but ask. Why are we being so secretive and wanting to leave (if relevant, I'm going through the room, haven't gotten to any of the updates past that yet)? Like we keep thinking we're some sort of imposter that needs to hide, but putting myself in the situation, I'd think something happened to me and I lost my memory, and just need help from everyone. Definitely wouldn't jump to "I'm a fake and I can't let them know" (at least no more than my layered multi-faceted imposter syndrome makes me think).
This was a conscious decision I made at the beginning of this project and will be relevant further in the story. So I can't really answer your Why without spoiling the whole thing :)
Of course, in the real world, different people will have a different reaction to waking up in an unknown place next to unknown people. I could have opted for different reactions, but it was easier for me writing and coding-wise to stick to one only.
Sorry, another ask, is the person were set to marry always a "Prince"? Asking since Prince Victoria sounds odd to me, though I know that title can be gender neutral in some contexts/cultures.
What path are you taking at the end of Scene 2? Because only Sunwin Garden is currently available. Judy's Scissors will arrive in the next update (coming soon).
I really enjoyed this, I hope to see more soon! I also wanted to let you know that we've mentioned your story in our list of recommended Twine stories. But if that's not okay just let me know. You can view it here, let us know if there are any other details we should add for your title --> https://itch.io/t/1763600/twine-games-with-character-customization-part-1
Loved the story so far, can't wait to read more. As an engineer I loved the design/floor plans and the map. They give a fresh perspective to the story that I have never seen in any other IF before.
Also really happy someone noticed the floor plans! Took me days to make it just right. I do plan to have more scenes in the house in the future, which will include moving from one room to the next. I thought it would be helpful to have them.
Yeap they are helpful. They make it easier to visualize spatially where events do take place. I think the map would especially be useful here too, e.g. when the mc starts visiting different places (like the ones currently written on the planner)
Hi! I really liked the game and wanted to report some bugs I've noticed :) While searching the room, when I opened the middle drawer (before I had the letter-cutter), the text about me opening the drawer and taking the book within appeared. It didn't actually let me take the book though. When I did open he drawer w/ the cutter that I've found, took the book and then put it back, the text also doubled. Apart from that, there were inconsistencies w/ MC's parents' genders (they were both described as female by Anne, but later were referred to as male + the Consort is described as male in the Codex), and at the point when Anne says that the MC is close to Charles he's then referred to as Charlotte. It it matters, I had a male MC and my browser is Safari. Hope that helps! :)
Thank you for finding these! I will try to see where the issue comes from and fix it. Could you send me your gamefile for this playthrough at crimsonrosewhitelily@gmail.com? (That will help a lot)
Oh, I don't think I have the previous walkthrough saved, I'll try replaying the game w/ the same choices I've chosen before, then send it, hope it'll be okay :)

Ahhh! This is so good. Sad to see it's not been updated for 2 years. It may be to much to assume it'll ever get updated... but please update!
one of the best Twine IFs there is. Such a creative use of the mechanics
just checking in. i love this story and im hoping that it's still in progress as it has a lot of potential :)

Your hair is the same colour of the word represented.
Chamomile = light blond
Ginger Ale = dirty blond
Coral = light ginger
Pomegranate = Deep red
Thank you!
Hi! Love the game— Stranger is barely kinda around at the moment but they already have my heart, on god— and I can't wait for more updates!
I am stuck with the combination for the lock thingy and I tried using the link for it (I saw on the comments section) but it won't work :,)
If anyone can help, please let me know!^^
Ah yes, the link is currently hidden. But check your journal/schedule for the day in-game ;)
Heya story is wonderful just looking at when last it was updated nearly a year ago so wondering if the project is still ongoing or if it was abandoned like alot of the grear works you find on here?
Hi,
Glad you enjoyed it !
It is not abandoned, but life is currently in the way. :)
But you can check you smaller stuff that Ive made in between .
stranger has my heart
Same :)
hi could you tell me how to romance Emilia thanks
Become her friend :)

Hi there,
I am glad you enjoyed the game :)
What do you mean by "in terms of nouns"?
Concerning titles, please check this post on my Tumblr. This was deliberate.

I post progress on updates on my Tumblr (i am technically on a small break rn).
Thanks!
i meant the titles by nouns.
yes I agree ...if the prince is male then the noun prince is fine but when she's female how come she's also prince it should be princess :)
This is all explained in this post on my Tumblr. The choice was deliberate.
oh okk cool but whats the lock combination also when is the next update? the is actually really good :D

Hi again,
I've talked about it on my Tumblr. :)
where can we find the lock combination 🥺
Hi there,
You can find the answer here. ;)
I got it thank u 🤍
omg just found out you're also the dev for Meeting the Parents :D this was such a great game btw! excited for the next chapter
aaaaah I'm so glad you've enjoyed both games!
Come back wednesday for CRWL's update ;)
why can't I play scene 3? 😭 it always says scene 2 then ends
Hi,
What path are you taking at the end of Scene 2?
Because only Sunwin Garden is currently available. Judy's Scissors will arrive in the next update (coming soon).
I really enjoyed this, I hope to see more soon! I also wanted to let you know that we've mentioned your story in our list of recommended Twine stories. But if that's not okay just let me know.

Hi!
I'm really glad you enjoyed my game <3
Thank you for mentioning CRWL in your list! It is so appreciated!
Loved the story so far, can't wait to read more. As an engineer I loved the design/floor plans and the map. They give a fresh perspective to the story that I have never seen in any other IF before.

There will be the map of the town in the next update (coming sometime in March). It will have a list of all the places mentioned in the game.
You can already find it on my Tumblr with only the mentions of the districts.
I like the game but how do you get out of the credits?
Hi,
Thank you!
There should be a Return link at the bottom of the page.
Never mind I found it thanks!
This is interesting so far :D, also I found an error with <<if>> when mc ask about where's alexandra. Keep it up<3
Hi! Really glad you are enjoying the game so far!
The issue has been fixed. :)

Sent! Tell me if you received it :)
Got it! Thanks!
Hi there. It's been fixed in the update!
Thanks for letting me know! :)
Hello! I'm loving this so far, I'm just wondering how you made the different maps
Hi there!
Glad you are enjoying it so far!
I used Floorplanner and Edrawmax (the free versions) for the base and finished it with Photoshop :)
Hi
thank you for letting me know.
This has now been fixed!
Hi, this game seems interesting but its really hard to read with the letters and backgroung coloring, which is black over black.
Hi,
Thank you for letting me know that there was an issue with the background images. It has been fixed :)
Pretty fun so far. Keep up the good work
Thank you!
Hi! I'm already super invested in your story. I'm really looking forward to the next release!
Thank you for playing CRWL! I am really glad you enjoyed it so far!
