Hi! super excited to buy the game in a few hours!!!!!! I have one question though, is it going to be censored on steam or are they going to be the same? I usually buy most of my games there, but they avoid BL steamy scenes like the plague, and I don't want to lose them :x
What time zone will the game be released on March 29? I'm bouncing off of my walls, so excited to do Leos route, and then the others afterward of course. <3
So excited for the full release! i've been following this game for a long while and I can say that this game looks so good! Can't wait to play fawns route. It's hard to choose whos my fav between him and Leos but I think it has to be him.
Full VA will be added in a free patch :) we'll launch with optional VA for what's complete so far - which will likely be the full common route + Cyne route!
THANK YOU!!! I loved both of the demos so I'm so excited for the full release! As a fellow artist, the scenes and characters and just gorgeous! And there is so much to see in each panel without it being overwhelming or busy. Just a big, fat BRAVO from me! 10/10 already! Not to mention smut. You guys pushed all my buttons! Thanks for all the hard work and weeks (if not months) of your lives that you can't get back (that last part I mean in the absolute best way possible lol).
wait i have to know if the black and green haired guy is a route T^T or is he just a goal for kickstarter? if so was it reached? i probably asked this before but i forgot.
Hacia tiempo que e seguido las actualizaciones y las demos en sus inicios ahora unos de estos días saldrá por fin (muy emocionada estoy casi todos los días abro para ver si ya a salido o hay algo diferente) y solo lo que me preocupa ahora es que si esta cerca de mi presupuesto o me mato jajaja 😅
Pero si quieres te puedes llevar toda mi mesada;) pero en serio me alegro por usted y lo que a logrado, a lo que era al principio a lo de ahora cambió significativamente todo (me refiero a las demos) y agradecida con el de arriba a toda esa gente que ayudo por Patreon para que hoy pueda ver este proyecto a la vuelta de la esquina y por supuesto encantada con todo su trabajo.<3
Sorry if this has been asked before! What would you say the percentage of the final game is covered by the extended demo?
Either way, so excited for this that I check 2 or 3 times a day to see if it's released haha. Non-cringe voice acting and an 18+ VN with writing like it was actually written by someone over 18 are such a rarity.
Hi!! Can I just ask if the game content will be any different on the Steam version to the itch version? I know they can be a bit funny about nsfw content... and it's important to me :')
Hey! I played the demo again as soon as I learned that the game would be released at the end of March 2022! I am very happy! I am a French player and I hope there will be a translation for later.
You did a great job on the demo, so I'm sure the full game will be too.
(I used a translation site to write in English, so I apologize if there may be incomprehensible sentences)
soooo i didnt even play the game yet but im totally hyped. but theres one thing i can say already. the android version is not miui (the ui of xiaomi) friendly. i heard sooner that miui isnt very developer friendly. but if you want to release the final game on android too then please try to make it work. installing on miui isnt impossible but its like... a little harder. for the ones that have the same problem here is a short tutorial. i wont explain how to do the things because other people already did. to install the demo you have to turn off miui optimization in the developer settings and reboot. after that you have to turn on usb debugging and install apps via usb. now you can install the app via adb. edit: i forgot to say: after finishing the installation you can turn on miui optimization again (the ui doesnt work well without it and its pretty ugly)
Hey there! Thanks for your comment, but we don't intend to release the game on android - the android extended demo came about because people asked for it, but I let them know it was untested and wouldn't be supported in the future/bug fixed. At the moment we plan to only focus on PC/Mac due to the size of the game. Thank you!
Hi! I really really love your game and i'm so happy we finally have a date!
I just have 2 questions
I'm French and dont really perfect with English, will there also be a french version of the full game?
And there was a big bug when we get to Nox Manor in the french vers, is this resolved and no longer relevant?
Sorry if you already talked about it I'm not on Twitter :')
(Thanks for this beautiful game T^T I'm ecstatic❤❤❤)
Hey there!! We've answered this a few times in the comments, but for now it will release only in English. The cost of translation is very high and difficult with only a small, two person studio, and we are not comfortable with crowd sourcing translations at this point. If sales go well, we will look at translations! Thank you!
Hi! Im sorry it's going to be very awkward and silly questions pls don't beat me with crocs....will the player have a decision in, um, what role (top/bottom) the main character has in NSFW scenes? if not, would you please tell me, who's Raen gonna be in these scenes in each pairing?
Again, sorry for the possible feeling of cringe while reading my question. Truly anticipate the game!
Hey! There's no player decision on that, just because that automatically doubles the art/voice acting etc. cost for those scenes. I'll happily tell you the roles for each route:
Leos route - MC bottom Fawn route - MC switch Cyne route - MC top
You'll unfortunately have to start the game again, but I may leave in a switch to jump to the end of the extended demo for those that don't want to go through it again - we'd love for the saves to be compatible, but there's a lot of new variables that need to be defined after you press start that wouldn't work with an old save. Glad you loved the demo though!!
Hey there! The Spanish option was only available in the original demo (the short, 9k word on you would have played on mobile). The demo on PC/Mac is extended to 69,000 words, and is only available in English and French for now. While we would love to slowly work on translating The Divine Speaker to a range of languages, currently the costs (20-30k per translation USD) are prohibitive for an indie group. We'll try our best in the future to look into our options!
if professional translations are too expensive you might want to consider making a crowding project out of it. Microsoft did that with the Minecraft launcher, for example. Then anyone who has a free crowdin account can translate parts of the game and the translations can then be approved or improved by others.
Hey! Yes, it could be an option, but it relies very heavily on having enough people to translate so many words, and despite being able to approve others work, it also really needs to be edited and proofread by a professional to be release ready. Plus, we aren't very comfortable with unpaid work. Thank you for the suggestion, though!
Obviously it's ultimately your decision, and one does see crowdsourced translations in FOSS software more
The fact Python and especially Ren'Py are free to use, open source, and allow their commercial use without even so much as a royalty, with theor developers being faceless and unappreciated by most, makes their use an extreme form of unpaid work, versus people who enjoy(ed) your work and wish to make it available to a wider audience... It's a rather odd reason to give.
It says in the top of my page that i already own the game, does that mean I don't have to make another purchase to play the whole game? or is it just because I mistaken the tip as a purchase?
Hi there, Itch and Steam will likely be separate. They'll release on both platforms at the same time (hopefully!), so you'll be able to grab a copy on steam (pending Steam approval of the game, of course)
I played this demo a while ago but finally decided I should leave a comment. This game is extremely fun and the story is engrossing. You quickly become attached to the character and the mystery of the world that has been built. I cannot wait for the full game to come out.
Such an amazing game— if you are on the edge about whether to play it or not, all I can say is: DO IT! The extended demo is several hours of enrapturing fun and it's entirely FREE! I did not expect to fall in love with the characters to the extent that I did, but in love I fell none-the-less haha. I can't say it enough, the game is really that good. The music, the art, the writing, the lovable LIs— this one is a work of art.

Hi! super excited to buy the game in a few hours!!!!!! I have one question though, is it going to be censored on steam or are they going to be the same? I usually buy most of my games there, but they avoid BL steamy scenes like the plague, and I don't want to lose them :x
Hey! Super excited for you to get your hands on it, and no worries! Both the Steam and Itch versions of the game are exactly the same :)
Hi! It will be available to purchase here on itch.io to Germany!
What time zone will the game be released on March 29? I'm bouncing off of my walls, so excited to do Leos route, and then the others afterward of course. <3
PST :) It will be released around 24-30 hours from now
Geniaaaaal ya no puedo eesperaaar más!(ꏿ﹏ꏿ;)
So excited for the full release! i've been following this game for a long while and I can say that this game looks so good! Can't wait to play fawns route. It's hard to choose whos my fav between him and Leos but I think it has to be him.
<3 <3 <3
When the game comes will it be fully voiced or will it be in a later patch? Looking forward to buying it :)
Full VA will be added in a free patch :) we'll launch with optional VA for what's complete so far - which will likely be the full common route + Cyne route!
I can't wait to play this i am so pumped <3!!!!!! \o/!!!!!
I am so excited to play this!! The full version comes out right around my pay day so, I will definitely be buying it!
Does this game show the characters yk full body during some scenes
All 18+ scenes are fully uncensored and show most of the body, if that's what you mean!
Hi, what's the cost of the game?
$29.99!
Thanks!
Will the games and keys get sent to our email? I'm at the appropriate tier on Patreon and I'm so excited for the game!!!
Hi there! They will have been sent to you on Patreon :)

pa fin de mes sale (TT) y yo sigo siendo feliz ( ꈍᴗꈍ)
wait i have to know if the black and green haired guy is a route T^T or is he just a goal for kickstarter? if so was it reached? i probably asked this before but i forgot.
Hi, no the only routes are Fawn, Leos and Cyne. All other characters have their own stories. Thank you!

Hey there! It would be less than a third :)
I was starting to play the demo and I loved it! Then I saw release march so I'm gonna wait for the full game ♡♡♡😻
<3
Does anyone know how to buy the game for Android?
Just use the JoiPlay app. It almost always works, and when it does, it honestly works better than the native Android ports.
and how can I use it?
Omg Its finally almost here?! Been waiting for this one since the beginning, I cant wait! XD
I can't wait either!!
Hi!! Can I just ask if the game content will be any different on the Steam version to the itch version? I know they can be a bit funny about nsfw content... and it's important to me :')
They will both have the same content :)
Hey! I played the demo again as soon as I learned that the game would be released at the end of March 2022! I am very happy! I am a French player and I hope there will be a translation for later.
You did a great job on the demo, so I'm sure the full game will be too.
(I used a translation site to write in English, so I apologize if there may be incomprehensible sentences)
Thank you Kamilona!! I hope you enjoy the game!! <3
I remember playing the demo last February! I’m now super excited to play the finished game (When I find the money 👉👈)
Is there going to be a download on itch.io or is it only on Steam?
By the way, is it known when it'll be out on march or do we just wait?
I'm sorry if these are stupid questions, I'm new to this stuff
Hi, yes it's available on Itch and Steam :) we will announce a date soon, expect late march!
Thank you!

Leos route - MC bottom
Fawn route - MC switch
Cyne route - MC top
Thanks for reaching out!
Should I buy it on steam or itchio?
Totally up to you!
I can't wait for this to come out, Leos is so prettyyyyy aagghh. I wanna know everything that happenssss <3
Loved loved loved the demo! I'm just wondering if I'll need to start the game over after the full release or if I'll be able to reuse my save files?
You'll unfortunately have to start the game again, but I may leave in a switch to jump to the end of the extended demo for those that don't want to go through it again - we'd love for the saves to be compatible, but there's a lot of new variables that need to be defined after you press start that wouldn't work with an old save. Glad you loved the demo though!!
Oh that's quite alright, it makes me even more excited to see what's new and what's changed. Thanks for anwering so quickly too 'o'
I loved the demo that I played from my mobile, I would like to play it on PC. but there is no Spanish option on the pc?
There is only the option of english or french
Hey there! The Spanish option was only available in the original demo (the short, 9k word on you would have played on mobile). The demo on PC/Mac is extended to 69,000 words, and is only available in English and French for now.

Do we need to purchase the game again even though we already paid for it when it was only a demo?
Hi there! There's no required payment to play the demo, itch.io only suggests a tip. Yes, you need to buy the full product. Thank you!
It says in the top of my page that i already own the game, does that mean I don't have to make another purchase to play the whole game? or is it just because I mistaken the tip as a purchase?
Hey, yes that's separate, as the full game is $29.99 full price. Thanks!
Will the full release get an Android version too?
At this stage probably not just because of the sheer size of the game, but we'll see!
Hi there, Itch and Steam will likely be separate. They'll release on both platforms at the same time (hopefully!), so you'll be able to grab a copy on steam (pending Steam approval of the game, of course)

Go on— give it a try!
