I say this because the game really excites me, and if you decide to abandon it or leave it as the last one on your list, I would like to know it to prepare myself mentally for it.
I have a question. I'm from Germany and Steam blocks most of the "porn-games" (+18). So also your lovely game 'The Divine Speaker'.
Now my question. Do you know if I can activate the Steam-Key? Because on the Steam-website I can't see your game because it is blocked. Or can I play it without Steam?
And I really want to play your game.
Really frustrated but friendly greetings from Germany,
I recognize a few of the Voices is An Imdb or something of the such for these people tried looking up the names but not much luck anyone can refer to me a place i could look that info up?
Soon! To put a long story short, we're having to rerecord a section of Leos route due to loss of a file, but we'll have the Leos route patch up soon :) thank you for your patience!
My friend and I are absolutely in love with this game! Excellent work, Two and a Half Studios.
We completed Cyne's route first, but we're really looking forward to Leos' and Fawn's paths. (Leos is my favorite so far because of the amount of emotion he puts into his voice in the common path. He likes Fawn best because "Fawn is baby.")
We're waiting until they're fully voiced before we go after them. :)
On that note, I hope that the voice patch comes out soon! I've been checking here twice a day for the past 3 days just to see if it has dropped yet, and we just finished Cyne's path yesterday!
And the side pairings are both *chef kiss*. We can't wait for the prequel.
I'm holding back on playing Leos' route until the voice patch is out, but have absolutely been loving this game so far. Suspense, emotions and comedy plus beautiful art and amazing voice acting. Also, a decent amount of spice. uvu It's all there! If I was to be really picky, I could point out what seem like minor plot holes to me, but they're not spoiling my fun at all. I've just been really into this ever since playing the demo!
Just making a comment to remind myself to come and grab this once I'm back home and on my PC. Luckily the Dear Monster Kickstarter taught me of this VN's existence.
Boy, oh boy! What a ride my first route was! I even created this account to just simply be able to write about it and believe me, I am a super silent person online.
Where to event start, I wonder? I like to see myself as a veteran when it's coming to visual novels. Mostly Japanese and Korean creation - till now! It was my very first time to play any creation out of that bubble and I can't express how happy I am about it!
I wanted to wait until fully voice patch to finish Leos route, but I simply couldn't. The history sucked me in, and I was not able to stop myself from finishing it. Obviously, I am going to do it one more time when the patch WILL show up, anyway ;)
The story and worldbuilding is very original and I hope for it to develop in more directions. Im already craving for more of it ;) There's no character you can't like and until now my heart belong to Leos >D
I love how you make effort to show us different stories of different couples as well as the main one. It's quite rare, as I realize. There were so many live and emotions in them.
CGs are simply BEAUTIFUL! And, hell, there's so many of them!!! Luck of amount of nice CGs is what made me sad in so many VNs. And yours are so detailed, colorful and beautiful that I can't express how happy in fact it made me during the game.
I wish you the best of luck and really hope, that you are not going to stop your work with VNs after this project!
Right from the start i could tell a lot of thought and work went into this VN, the backgrounds are detailed, the CG's slap, i was very impressed. I went for Leos my first time through and i suppose that says something about me. The only suggestion I have, not critique, is about the MC himself. For your future VN's (if there even are any planned), I'd wish to see a more flawed MC. Or a MC with more spunk, maybe some sarcasm, anything really, cuz right now Raen seems too good his moral compass too perfect, yeah he doesn't know much about, well, anything really, but his altruism is quite frankly so staggering that i had trouble connecting with him. As i mentioned, Leos is my favorite, i love this boy, but when Raen stated that ''we cant just leave him here'' after Leos tried to assassinate him and Fawn I was like.. really? We can't? Any person would lmao.
Also, if i didn't totally blanked out, do we ever find out if Soren wakes up at all?
I enjoyed the ride. I'll look closely for more titles from you :)
I bought the game a few days ago and I just saw that there is an update since. The problem is that when I click on download I have two choices: one says version 4 but is 10 days old, and the other has no version but is 8 days old.
What is the difference, please, knowing that the platforms and names for both are the same?
Hello, I did buy the game a few days ago, and I was pretty sure the language was in french. I didn’t have the time to play until now, but I launched it after the download to make sure everything was working. But today when I had finally the time to play I noticed that it was in english… Did I imagined it XD ? Maybe I was used to it because the demo had a french translation? Anyway, will there be a translation when the full voice acting will be released?
Hi there! At the present time we have no plans for translations. If you would like a refund, you can contact itch.io support to request one. Thank you!
I've played a lot of VNs and this is honestly one of my favourites. I played through Cyne's route and wanted to wait for the voice patch before the other 2, but I couldn't wait and ended up playing through all the good and bad ends anyway heh.
I adore all the routes with all 3 love interests.
The Leos x Raen route is my favourite. When I played the demo I already knew Leos was going to be my favourite and the full story is even better. Leos and Raen give off an "old married couple" vibe which I love and their backstories intertwine quite nicely. Watching them get together when neither knew what all those feelings were was too adorable and they look so very beautiful together (kudos to Leos for taking one for the team and asking others for advice lmao) ;). The reveal towards the end also hits one of my favourite fictional couple tropes! 🥰
I look forward to anything else that comes out in the future for this series! Especially with Soren/Nox - I remember hoping Raen would just hug him or kiss him or something even though he's not a love interest. But he really did give off a potential love interest for Raen vibes. Now knowing that he was initally supposed to be the 4th route makes sense...I guess my VN romanceable character senses were tingling haha. What you did with his story in the end worked very well anyway and left me wanting more.
Anyway, this was a fantastic game and thank you for all your hard work! I will definitely replay the unvoiced routes - especially Leos - once the full voice patch is out. :)
I'm a massive fan of Alphonse Mucha's art, and it's incredibly obvious that the devs are too. A lot of the fonts are straight out of Mucha's own style, and the rich and baroque circular reliefs you see on a lot of the UI is similarly extremely Mucha-esque. As an art dweeb it makes me super happy to see one of my favorite artists' styles applied so liberally and with such great effect.
And as someone that is aggressively homosexual, I'm glad to look at the pretty boys too. Only visual novel to have ever piqued my interest, and first one to ever get me to bite the bullet and buy it. Actually been waiting on it for a while. It'd be a lot of fun to read a dev blog about their art direction decisions! I'm definitely a fan. Hope to see the full game come to Android, but I'll stick with the PC variant for the time being.
Ever since I played the Demo of this game, I immediately fell in love with everything: The characters, their story, the art, the VAs, EVERYTHING.
And now that I've played the full game, I just have one thing to say...
WHEN WILL THE SEQUEL AND PREQUEL COME OUT???
The CGs have turned out to be more beautiful than I expected, and each route has felt "The real one" in its own way, plus the story has been incredibly interesting and colorful, and all this without mentioning the characters, something that I love of this game is that you end up literally loving ALL the characters, both main and secondary, you get immersed in their stories and end up wanting more <3.
My favorite route has been the Fawn route, because I found it to be the sweetest and most romantic route, plus Fawn has been my favorite since the demo<3<3.
The second favorite has been the Leos, I really love their VA and the way it enhances Leos personality, but it frustrated me that it took them both so long to realize that they loved each other XD, although it made sense, and their sweet moments were worth the wait <3.
My third favorite route is for Cyne, although I love Cyne's personality and his jokes make me laugh, his route felt more sexual than romantic, plus compared to Leos and Fawn, he was the most "normal" lol.
And the last place goes to the bad endings for obvious reasons, THEY MAKE ME CRY (T_T), but seriously, the bad endings are very well done and worth playing at least once.
When the voice path comes out, I'll replay the Fawn and Leos paths <3
And I really want to play the prequel to find out more about the relationship between Caspian and Amyrl (You owe me an NSFW scene from them <3).
And I really loved the relationship of Ilran and Veras, I need more of them if you do a sequel, PLEASE (And of course the others too).
And let's not forget "Nox"...
By the way, I found some small bugs, not very serious, where do I report them?
Case in point, I've fallen in love with the game before, and now I want to marry it<3<3<3<3.
I will be aware of your future projects, you have all my support, patience, and love.
Thank you very much for making this wonderful game (^///^)
Hello! Thank you for such a lovely, detailed review! It makes us so happy to hear how much you enjoyed the game. We would love if you could send any bugs you find to support@twoandahalfstudios.com and we will get them fixed as quickly as possible.
And don't worry, we will see lots more of Illran, Veras, and the rest of the cast!
Hello, I have a problem. I purchased the game today and tried to open it, but it did not work. Is there any solution? And if not, can you return the money please?
Finished Leos route first, and I absolutely loved it, cried my eyes out, the romance is just wonderful.
Raen is just an amazing MC, his own personality, his own thoughts and though naive and sheltered due to his circumstances he is smart and adaptable to everything that's thrown at him.
now doing Fawn's and then Cyne but Leos will always be my ride or die.
I love all 3 so much, their interactions, the story, drama and everything that makes the world feel alive and realistic even in a fantasy world, couldn't have asked for a better way of spending time
I recommend this 1000 times
Thank you for the hard work and love put into this game, it is heard and felt.
I have completed my first run of the game. Romancing Leos and getting his best ending. I loved this game so much. I laughed, so much at the guys...especially in that certain store!!!! I cried so much during sad moments, romantic moments. Veras and Illran's story was just amazing. I do not want to spoil the other possible couple but, their route also had me laughing and crying, especially right at the end. I however will struggle to do Cyne and Fawn's routes....as Leos has captured my heart!!!!
The art, the music, the scenery and ofcourse, the sex scenes were beautifully written and drawn. I was also terrified in the mansion and the whole researching what happened. The mix of the music, the tension, the companions voice actors nailing the trepidation of what was happening.
10/10 for this game. I am in love with it and immediately, going to start my second run! Without saving every 10 seconds because now I know what to do!
I also cannot wait for the voice acting patch for Fawn and Leos. I want to hear everything they have to say....and ofcourse, the voices for the rest of the supporting cast! I do worry if I will be able to install the patch ok as I am very computer illiterate!!!
Done with Cyne's and can't wait to do the other two's route >_< 'll be waiting for the voice patch~ This is actually my first Eng VO visual novel game and what can I say? I love the voice actors, they did a great job! The CGs and the music as well!

Are you still making Beyond the Abyss game?
I say this because the game really excites me, and if you decide to abandon it or leave it as the last one on your list, I would like to know it to prepare myself mentally for it.
Thank you.
Not abandoned, but on a small hiatus while we finish some other things up!
Thanks for answer me!
I'll wait patiently for as long as it takes<3
Hello, I would like to know when the French translation will be available, being the original ford I understood that it was planned?
Cliffhanger???
Hi,
I have a question. I'm from Germany and Steam blocks most of the "porn-games" (+18). So also your lovely game 'The Divine Speaker'.
Now my question. Do you know if I can activate the Steam-Key? Because on the Steam-website I can't see your game because it is blocked. Or can I play it without Steam?
And I really want to play your game.
Really frustrated but friendly greetings from Germany,
Tia ^^
Yes, you can either download it directly from itch or use the code to redeem it on Steam, even in blocked countries.
I recognize a few of the Voices is An Imdb or something of the such for these people tried looking up the names but not much luck anyone can refer to me a place i could look that info up?
Here for you!

Thanks so much!!
Is the voice acting patch out yet? and if so where can we get it?
Not yet! Apparently soon but we don't know more! Let's try to be patient haha
Soon! To put a long story short, we're having to rerecord a section of Leos route due to loss of a file, but we'll have the Leos route patch up soon :) thank you for your patience!
Thank you for your answer !
oh my god I was scrolling and I thought that said "life" and not "file" and my heart dropped into my stomach
Any rough idea of how much time that might need, if you feel you comfortable providing one? Like... days, weeks, months?
My friend and I are absolutely in love with this game! Excellent work, Two and a Half Studios.
We completed Cyne's route first, but we're really looking forward to Leos' and Fawn's paths. (Leos is my favorite so far because of the amount of emotion he puts into his voice in the common path. He likes Fawn best because "Fawn is baby.")

Bonjour j'ai acheter le jeux mais je sait pas comment on change la langue pour le mettre en français, quelqu'un pourrait m'aider s'il vous plaît ?
Je ne pense pas qu'il y ait une option française pour ce jeu
Ah ! Merci je penser que puisque la langue originale est le français il y aurait la traduction dès sa sortie !
Boy, oh boy! What a ride my first route was! I even created this account to just simply be able to write about it and believe me, I am a super silent person online.

Hi there! At the present time we have no plans for translations. If you would like a refund, you can contact itch.io support to request one. Thank you!
Hi there, is TDS a kinetic visual novel, or are there many branching paths with a variety of endings determined by the player's choices?
There are branching paths and many different endings :)
My download page doesn't have a steam key, what should I do?
Hi there! If you don't have a button to claim an external key you will need to contact itch support. Thank you!
I absolutely Love this game Leos is my fav <3 <3<3 everything about this game is amazing
Getting the full game tonight and super excited. I played the demo over a year ago and been anxiously waiting 😭
Hehe, might drag a friend into my nerd frenzy. Pray for them 💀👍 (More like payback for a lot of stuff- Now I’m ranting, off to the game)
Leos, lol
since the last update, DS "micro"launches for a split second then closes. surface pro 5th gen Windows 10 pro.
got help from Gabby, fixed it. turns out the file was in the itch.io folder, but did not extract. once extracted, ran fine
I've played a lot of VNs and this is honestly one of my favourites. I played through Cyne's route and wanted to wait for the voice patch before the other 2, but I couldn't wait and ended up playing through all the good and bad ends anyway heh.

And I finished Cyne!!!
Now I will write a good review, wait a moment<3
Will there be an android release of the full game?
At this point in time we have no plan for it, but we may revisit the idea in the future!
I finished the Leos route too, now I finally will do Cyne!
Hello, I have a problem. I purchased the game today and tried to open it, but it did not work. Is there any solution? And if not, can you return the money please?
Hello! Can you please send some more details about your OS and error messages (if any) to support@twoandahalfstudios.com!
When I open the game, it exits after seconds

Not long started but already I love Leos. I'm so romancing him!!!! That gorgeous red hair. His whole look and that voice? Oh yes!!!
How do you save,,, I might be missing it somehow
It took me a while to figure it out as well, you just have to right click on your mouse. xD
OHH thank you!! You're a life saver
Finished Fawn's route and loved it sm !!! <3
Just finished Cyne's route! I freaking love this game so much already!
