Played this on steam and adored it. I don't usually go for the 'bad boy' type but Leos was definitely my favorite route, mostly due to the backstory and how he originally met Raen.
i just won a money award for good grtades and now im gonna spend it on this game beacuse i can get over how irritatingly hot the red hair guy is. I am normal
Hey! So I was originally was planning to buy the game from Steam and I unfortunately couldn't, due to it not being available in my region, iirc? I can't buy from itch.io, mostly bc I don't want to </3
C'est une très bonne question; moi-même j'aimerais beaucoup traduire ce jeu, puisque c'est un de mes favoris! Je ne savais pas du tout qu'une version française était prévue.
AHHH i loved Leos route!!! He's so handsome OMFGJJDJSJAJ I LOVED THIS GAME SO MUCH!! I haven't done the other routes but I will do them another day!! ^^
This was a beautiful game :-) I am not generally interested in stories involving gods, but despite a lot of bickering, I loved the characters and completed a full playthrough with all routes.
Spoilery thoughts below - if you haven't played, just know that I very much recommend the game :-)
Loved: Voice acting, art, sex scenes, the characters, the humour, how each route is tailored to the chosen love interest, secondary love stories (was so incredibly invested in I + V)
Was less a fan of: * After choosing a route, the other love interests fade into the background and are absent for a large chunk. I really liked seeing the dynamics between all four and wanted to see them keep travelling as a group, but I also understand how this would have been a lot more effort given the branching.
* What went down in Aurelia Cavella. I felt there was way too much evil going on for Aemyl to apologise and go back to being a ruler. Especially Azuros seems pretty unforgivable, as well as just murdering people without remorse (even if Lucius was encouraging it). That was probably my major problem with the game.
* Some of the bickering felt too much (especially Cyne/Leos could be unrelentingly mean) and I felt uncomfortable with scenes where Leos gets touched when he has made it clear he doesn't like that. I did enjoy how some of the earlier tensions were resolved at least in part later on.
* Despite all the explanations, Elliot's attitude never worked for me. Given there was a credible threat to all his people, backed up by someone he knew and trusted (Veras), Elliot's continuing insistence that this was a "human problem" and it was somehow safer for his people to do nothing was hard to stomach.
I still keep thinking about the characters. I loved Cyne the most though his route was harrowing at times. In my mind, he and Raen are gonna be mostly happily polyamorous (I think it's who Cyne is, and Raen hasn't grown up with societal pressure to find the "one and only").
Thank you for a wonderful game, and even if it was a ton of work, I really, really appreciated the branching story paths and beautifully varied romance and sex scenes.
If Veras were to have a nickname what would you as his creator(s?) say it would be? I’ve been thinking about this for a while and have tried to come up with one for him on my own with no luck because nothing seems to suit him in my mind. I’m very curious about what you have to say.
Oh, what an interesting question! I think his nickname would definitely depend on who was speaking to him. In the case of people who respect him/worship him (if the world ever got back to that!) he might be called things like the Bountiful One, Guardian of the Crops, Lord of the Fields, the Blue-winged Guardian, this kind of vein of thinking.
For friends, they would probably relate either to his blue bird form or his peach colored haired. If they wanted to pick on him, they could call him birdman... but I imagine he'd get Peachy, Birdy, neither of which he would mind. He also wouldn't mind being called 'Wren', which is the type of bird he is!
However, Illran would definitely give him the most endearing nicknames. Illran usually gives bad nicknames to people, but Veras is definitely an exception. Things like 'Sunshine', 'my Everything', though I also imagine he would call Veras some more respectful nicknames to make him a little embarrassed.
Veras, to me, seems like the kind of character who probably wouldn't have a nickname he was particuarly attached to or used himself, but wouldn't at all mind being called different nicknames by different people. He would value it as a sign of friendship-he'd like it a lot!
Veras is the one I’ve grown attached to most, after him is Fawn. But Veras specifically is the one that has a special place in my heart. If you couldn’t tell. We even have a fictive based on him in our system because the attachment is just that strong. You answering is very very very much appreciated and really means a lot to me. I mean this in the most sincere genuine way humanly possible, thank you.
Hello! I'm very interested in checking out the game, but sadly, my country doesn't offer your game on steam. I was therefore wondering if you'd apply the sale price on itch.io as well, given how it comes with the steam key? If not, I still want to thank you for reaching out!!!
Thank you so much!!! I immediately bought the game. I might be a little out of line here, but do you intend to add steam deck support anytime soon? Anything regarding loading or save functions seems pretty much incomptabile (i.e. error codes, game crashes, impossible to play) but then again, I don't know much about how coding works and whether this is even fixable.. Thank you for releasing such a great game either way!!
Question! I have downloaded the game in the beginning when not all the voice acting was out (didn't notice untill playing the game till a route). I saw that now all the voice acting has been added to the game. Is there a way to add that to my already existing game + save files?
You'll have to redownload the full game for the rest of the voices (since some other changes have been made to the game since to accommodate for them!) but you shouldn't lose your save files!
When I bought the game, never have I imagined it to be this amazing! Apart from the beautiful art and soundtrack and the great voice actors, the story is so well thought through and elaborate, I'm so impressed! I just finished playing the Fawn route and to be honest, their first sex scene was probably the most beautiful and intimate NSFW scene I have ever seen in a game or a visual novel. Thank you for your amazing work!
It's predetermined! The MC bottoms in the Leos route, tops in the Cyne route, and is a switch in the Fawn route. In the Leos DLC (available on our Patreon) there are two scenes you get to pick from (aka you don't have to play both!) where you can pick the positions! Thank you :D <3

Hey! So I was originally was planning to buy the game from Steam and I unfortunately couldn't, due to it not being available in my region, iirc? I can't buy from itch.io, mostly bc I don't want to </3
What should I do??
If you cannot buy from Steam and don't want to buy from itch.io, unfortunately there are no other options, sorry!
its fine!! I appreciate you guys taking time off your day to reply :)
You can buy it one Jast https://jastusa.com/games/thalf001/the-divine-speaker
Does this game have a demo? And will this be on sale again around Christmas? 🥺
Just a quick question about the steam version: Are there any differences between the steam and the itch.io version or are they exactly the same?
They're exactly the same!
Okay, thanks for the answer! :)
Quand est ce que sortira la version française ? J'ai suivis son développement et si je le trompe pas il était prévu qu'il sorte aussi en français :/
C'est une très bonne question; moi-même j'aimerais beaucoup traduire ce jeu, puisque c'est un de mes favoris! Je ne savais pas du tout qu'une version française était prévue.
AHHH i loved Leos route!!! He's so handsome OMFGJJDJSJAJ I LOVED THIS GAME SO MUCH!! I haven't done the other routes but I will do them another day!! ^^
I keep getting error An exception has occurred in all three options in one part of the game, so I can't progress further! Where can I report it?
Please send screenshots and info to: support@twoandahalfstudios.com so we can look into it!
Thank you, done! Is it safe to just press Ignore and continue the game? I just found that option on those error messages.
It should be, but reporting them is the best way to get it fixed!
The game was to come out of base also in French, can someone let me know when this is done? :(

The game will be on sale tomorrow for the one year anniversary! <3

Ah, okii so there is no voice patch? Cause when switching laptops I lost a lot of my online accounts, as well as my Itch.io account.
Yeah, it's not just a patch per say - it was a full game update (which included some extra CGs and other fixes!)
Ah okay got it, thanks anyways!
When I bought the game, never have I imagined it to be this amazing! Apart from the beautiful art and soundtrack and the great voice actors, the story is so well thought through and elaborate, I'm so impressed! I just finished playing the Fawn route and to be honest, their first sex scene was probably the most beautiful and intimate NSFW scene I have ever seen in a game or a visual novel. Thank you for your amazing work!
If I buy it here am I going to get a steam key? I prefer having all my games on steam and playing there, but it's banned in Germany :/
Yes, you will get a Steam key with purchase!
Hello! Are you able to choose your position regarding the nsfw scenes or is it already determined? :)
It's predetermined! The MC bottoms in the Leos route, tops in the Cyne route, and is a switch in the Fawn route. In the Leos DLC (available on our Patreon) there are two scenes you get to pick from (aka you don't have to play both!) where you can pick the positions! Thank you :D <3
Thank you for replying!
