After 2.5 years of total work, here's what's all new compared to the old 15 minute prologue:
An extra hour of playtime! Explore a night carnival and Sicilian town, and get to meet an intriguing cast of characters, some seedier than others...
An all-new soundtrack of authentic, early 1900s recordings, recreated by a freelance musician and lovingly rearranged to leitmotif perfection by yours truly. Oh, and there's lots of opera references too.
Revamped, polished UI
New emotion icons, sound effects, and general revamping of cutscenes
Dozens of new hand-drawn cutscenes, some animated
Added icons over more important interactables so you don't have to spam click over everything in the world
If you run into any issues or have feedback, please do so with a demo review or in the Steam discussions!
And if you've been following for a while, THANK YOU. It's been the accumulation of support and improving every build for me to be able to get to this point. I'm going to go collapse now.
