Canticle version 0.281d is up on Itch!

This update includes a whole new day of classes.

It also includes thorough Android optimizations which should make the game much better on small screens.

TheGamer continues to be one of the only video game outlets who actually care about the censorship of adult games. Again, utter abdication from the indie press and the bigger names tend to be ignoring the issue

PayPal Accused Of Withholding £80,000 Made From Sales Of Adult Steam Game

One programmer claims that PayPal is refusing to pay out £80,000 they made from an adult Steam game, alleging that they broke the TOS.

The Android version of the Canticle demo is out now, and also includes extra content from Chapter Two!

I recommend a bigger phone screen or tablet to play.

Canticle is indexed again on itchio!

Had to completely remove the donation option to allow this to happen, but at least people get to play and experience the game again.

Version 0.277 of the demo is out now with improved sprites

After itch.io was forced to capitulate to some TERFs from Australia (who apparently own MasterCard), us adult game devs have had to adapt.

Canticle: Safe Version Demo is out now.

I posted that before this official reply from itchio.

"Deindexing" might as well be banning (I can use Patreon or a personal cloud service to host my games; that wasn't the point of itchio).

And my experience with itch support leaves me pessimistic that a solution will be reached. Hope I'm wrong.

Void Mammoth @voidmammoth.bsky.social · Jul 24

Not a single peep from @itch.io about bowing to payment processors (who are in turn bowing to crazy puritanical TERF lobbyists) and banning all NSFW games from their site hours ago, my game included. This will of course target small LGBTQ+ devs most aggressively.

Some dialog options are unlocked with skills you posses, items in your inventory, relationships, and even your prior dialog choices. No single playthrough has everything unlocked, so play again to see what you missed!

Father Orson is the head of the Lucent Priory. He requires complete devotion from his monks.

During character creation, along with your background skills, you can choose your character model.

Your classes can be mastered through minigames. Spend time with them during your weeks and develop skills, which can later unlock different dialog and story options.

As the days progress, you’ll take classes, work on your assignments, and socialize. At night, you can also visit the carrels for some… extracurricular worship.

Professor #1: Father Alaric

As a young scribe, Alaric is who you want to be one day. Is his no-holds-barred approach to teaching something that terrifies you, angers you, or... attracts you?

The week is split into 5 days. For the first four, you are scheduled for classes. Between classes, you can develop your skills, work on assignments and socialize. The fifth day is your day off and you can leave the priory grounds.

Your character in Canticle has background skills chosen in the character creator when you fill in the blanks about how you grew up.

These skills unlock dialog options and hidden paths. Which ones are you choosing?
