New update

Honestly... I can't believe that I still haven't gotten my computer back... How long does it take to fucking clean a laptop, seriously? I can't even...

Also, my family pet just died today. So yeah, I had a great day.

Well... at least...

Sneak peek 👀

My computer is still not back. It's pissing me off because the guys said it was going to be 1 week. That was exactly 1 week ago, and they haven't even looked at it yet. I know because I went into the shop today to ask about it 🤬 So I'm now borr...

Schedule for May

I usually post a 2 month schedule here, but I'm going to be out of the country probably sometime in June for a few weeks. The dates are not specified yet, so I'll just get back to you guys once I know more.

Here is what I planned for May: <...

April Q&A answers 🌸

This is a question for you! 😊 If you had to choose, which RO would you personally go for and why? (Either platonic or romantic is fine)

I think this has been asked once before, so my answer will probably be similar :D Uh�...

New update

Small update, like I promised before. Gods I hate writing posts on my phone, so this will be brief, sorry 😅 The new content adds Tabiry's bathing scenes. There are variations for every origin, so all in all it's around 7000 words. I hope I'm go...

Geography, foreign neighbors, and travel 🧭

I love geography. I could talk about it for ages, but I tried to keep it brief this time :) I hope you'll like it! And this one officially ends the currently planned lore posts, so I'm going to do a bit of questionary soon about what else you guys...

New update

This week has been going quite well. I'm still trying to keep myself to the new schedule. Now it's only 85% failing! Amazing!

Anyway, I've added lots of different scenes all over the place. There are a few paths in the new scenes that aren'...

Sneak peek 👀

I've been working on expanding some of the scenes and adding more choices to certain parts of the text, and I've got a really good idea for a future scene in Zaia's route too 👀 For now, here is a snippet from a scene that takes place after the ...

Spring date specials 🌸

I really loved the scenarios you guys chose, and I couldn't wait to write them 🥰 Here are the winning scenes I paired up with the characters:

• Dance in a courtyard under the moonlight with Narmer. I chose this for him because other...

New update

This week has been going better for the writing, in no small amount thanks to all the encouragement I got from my friends and all of you guys ☺️ I think the new daily schedule I've been trying to keep myself to will work as well... in time. It...

Sneak peek 👀

I was going to take my laptop for a cleaning this week, but there is simply too much work to be done, so it will have to stay absolutely filthy for another week 🙂 Anyway, the new update is shaping up nicely. I'm trying to keep to a better daily...

Clothing, fashion, makeup, and trends 🧵

I've been waiting for this lore post because I have a GREAT book full of illustrations of clothes, patterns, and everyday objects throughout the ages, starting from Ancient Egypt, until the late 1800s with the illustrations of Friedrich Hottenroth...

New update

This week has been very mentally slow for me. I didn't feel very good about my writing, so progress has been a lot more sluggish than usual. Still, I think I managed to get back on track and I got some (hopefully) really good ideas for later 👀<...

Sneak peek 👀

Zaia romancers, you are in luck, because our beloved spirit will return briefly for a few scenes, before the true reunion that you'll have to wait for a little bit longer.

Here is a snippet from the extra scene that's coming in the Friday u...

Poll for spring date scenarios 🌺

Hey, it's almost spring! I look out the window and it's only mildly freezing, with barren trees and a barren wasteland! So inspiring.

Joke aside, it's time to vote on your favorite ideas for the spring dates that are coming next week, on th...

🦖🦖🧥

The weirdest boy has arrived. I finished him yesterday night. Ebo's coming next 🥰

March Q&A answers

Which of the cast do you think would choose/be capable of remaining as spirits after they die?

Good question… I think none of them, but this would also depend on what kind of outcome you'll get at the end of the story. Tho...

New update

It's a small update this week, around 7000 new words and a few scenes from where the last one left off because I was sick for a few days. Qenna's fate is partially revealed, and Petmes also makes an appearance 👀 There is a small e...

Sneak peek 👀

I've been a bit sick this week, but I'm slowly working through the next scenes. There will be some good news and some bad news coming in this next update. I think I'm also going to bring Petmes back for a small scene because he can give some good ...

Kusai meeting 5 years ago

Haaahhhh I got a bit carried away with this one because I've been waiting since Chapter 1 to write this 😅😭 It's around 4000 words and it describes a (romanced) noble MC's first meeting with Narmer that happened in Kusai during a celebration....

Updated character sheets 💃🕺

Be careful, they are still spoilery, especially if you haven't read the new updates yet!

I revealed more info from the old sheets based on story progress, and also added the birthdays of the characters ✨

New update

The first scenes of Chapter 5 are here after that gigantic shitshow! 🥳🙌🫶

It's around 14 000 extra words. I think I will edit some of these scenes a bit more later and maybe add more content to the friendship route, but for now, he...

Sneak peek 👀

I started working on the Chapter 5 scenes this week. There is not much written yet because I spent a day flying yesterday, but I used the hours of soul-crushing boredom on the plane to plan out the new chapter and AAAHHH it's looking out to be so ...

Food and agriculture

Here is the next lore post, and, good news! I finally discovered that I can paste pictures into the text! Yes, I know, took me long enough.

What the hell did people even eat such a long time ago?

Short answer: very similar things th...

New update

Lots of edits and fixes this week 🤓 There isn't a lot of new content, but I added the friendship routes to chapter 4, and a few other, smaller scenes all over the place that were still missing. Also, all saves are going to break now.

What...

Zaia and Ahmose extra scenes ❤️

So, in the poll, Zaia's and Ahmose's scenes won with the exact same amount of votes, so I made 1-1 scene for each :D

I chose the childhood scene with Ahmose, which is a short, slightly bittersweet scene from 13 years ago. It can be played wi...

New update

Thanks for waiting! This took a bit longer than I expected, but here are the rest of the routes to Chapter 4!!!

Well, except for the friendship routes. Today afternoon, I realized that I created a plot hole in the friendship routes with the...

Sneak peek 👀

Here is a snippet from Narmer's first scene right after the route choice, after MC and your chosen RO fall down a chute. The first scenes here are going to be similar, but then you will take a quite different path through the pyramid than what the...
