Secondly, after the final fight, Leos and Cyne returned (I was playing Fawn's route). The dialogue repeated to an extent, with Leos saying goodbye twice, and Cyne initially agreeing to come with Raen, before then saying he couldn't. It feels as though some of this dialogue might have been from Cyne's route instead of Fawn's.
Thirdly, there wasn't any music during the end credits, and it said "Extended Demo" at the top, although I am pretty certain I was playing the full game.
Sorry if these have been pointed out before. Thanks for the game!
I was wondering if you guys were ever planning to make a DLC with the 'Divine Speaker'? He was my fav, still sad he isn't a romance. Also wondering if I buy and get the key for steam, will it work even though I'm from germany?
Hey there! He has his own story within TDS so he won't receive any DLC. However, a younger version of him is the main character in the prequel we are currently creating.
Yes, we have been told the Steam key will work even in regions where 18+ games are not allowed.
Hello, I'm about to buy this game as I really like it and the art style, I see in the dev blog that there is a voice acting patch reminder from back in march and since it says Late April/Early May I'm gonna guess its out by now but would like confirmation on that first if you don't mind. Also a big fan of your other game in demo The ocean at night. Thank you!
Hey! We've posted this in most places but we've had some delays with the VA patch-it will take a little longer yet. If you're after the voice acting, it might be best to hold off for a bit! Thank you :D
Hi, I bought this game on steam and it stopped right after everyone got their new clothes. It always send me back to main menu. Is it fixable or do I need to wait for updates?
Hi! Have you played the demo or beta? If so, please make sure you uninstall them and start a brand new save file as demo saves are not compatible. If not, please reinstall anyway and skip through the game to get back to that point - this is where the routes start, so there shouldn't be any issue there. Thank you!
Currently holding off on finishing the game until the voice patch comes out because I really want to play through his route fully voiced, but this game is SO incredible! I was in love since the demo, and I'm even more in love now.
hello!may I ask? I dont know if it annoys you or not,I'm sorry if it is
has this game fully released yet?The game's status was "released" but I asked one of my friend maybe a week ago to make sure before buying the game,he said the game ended here.He couldn't continue
Raen and Leos reunited in Zarryns lab->credits scene->Raen/Leos travelling to another unknown city->Illran show up and said Soren was asking for Leos->game over
ah yeah ofc I havent played this game yet,I was just retelling what my friend said so sorry if I made any mistake while explaining
Is the full voice patch coming out soon? I read the note says April to early May, but it's almost June. Also, thanks for making the game, and I enjoyed it so far.
Hi ! I plan to buy your game in the near future, and I would like to ask a question. Will there be updates to have other languages besides English? I don't know if you've ever thought of that. English doesn't bother me that much but it would be nice to know if we will have other languages than that.
(sorry for my English I use a translation and continue like that, your game I know in advance that it is great !)
Hello! Can I ask for a update on progress for the voice patch? It's been a little while since the reminder on voice acting patch that came out 49 days ago so I was just wondering about how much voice acting has been completed at this current moment and to hopefully get a general estimate on how much longer it will take. No pressure or anything of course! I'm just curious about it is all.
Hey! We'll announce when it's ready. We have a more detailed post about it on Patreon but rest assured our editor is going as fast as she can to complete it.
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. :)

Hai, I bought this game for a few months now and I wanted to know when is Leo's voice patch coming out? its a really great game tho <3
hi sorry for this but I have a problem I downloded the game and it wont open. what should I do?
Hi! Thanks for the great game! I did notice a couple of bugs while playing it, though.
Firstly, while trying to access the Codex at one point (I believe in the gods' village), I got this error message:
IOError: Couldn't find file 'gui/codex/entries/places/encsv.jpg'.
Secondly, after the final fight, Leos and Cyne returned (I was playing Fawn's route). The dialogue repeated to an extent, with Leos saying goodbye twice, and Cyne initially agreeing to come with Raen, before then saying he couldn't. It feels as though some of this dialogue might have been from Cyne's route instead of Fawn's.
Thirdly, there wasn't any music during the end credits, and it said "Extended Demo" at the top, although I am pretty certain I was playing the full game.
Sorry if these have been pointed out before. Thanks for the game!
Hey!
All of those problems were fixed a couple of months ago - I suggest a complete reinstall :)
Thank you!
Thanks!
Is there any difference between the Itch.io and the steam version?
I was wondering if you guys were ever planning to make a DLC with the 'Divine Speaker'? He was my fav, still sad he isn't a romance. Also wondering if I buy and get the key for steam, will it work even though I'm from germany?
Hey there! He has his own story within TDS so he won't receive any DLC. However, a younger version of him is the main character in the prequel we are currently creating.
Yes, we have been told the Steam key will work even in regions where 18+ games are not allowed.
Will there ever be a dowloadable android version?

Hey! We've posted this in most places but we've had some delays with the VA patch-it will take a little longer yet. If you're after the voice acting, it might be best to hold off for a bit! Thank you :D
Thank you very much, I will hold out off to buy it and do so when the VA patch is out. Have a brilliant day.
Hi, I bought this game on steam and it stopped right after everyone got their new clothes. It always send me back to main menu. Is it fixable or do I need to wait for updates?
Hi! Have you played the demo or beta? If so, please make sure you uninstall them and start a brand new save file as demo saves are not compatible. If not, please reinstall anyway and skip through the game to get back to that point - this is where the routes start, so there shouldn't be any issue there. Thank you!
thanks I will try it!
I LOVE FAWN SO MUCH I CAN'T HANDLE IT ALKJDHFAD
Currently holding off on finishing the game until the voice patch comes out because I really want to play through his route fully voiced, but this game is SO incredible! I was in love since the demo, and I'm even more in love now.
Phenomenal work, you're all amazing! <3
Is there no demo?
Show post...
it have demo on steam... back then TDS also have demo on itch but it seem like they removed it...
Oh okay. Thank you so much!
hello!may I ask? I dont know if it annoys you or not,I'm sorry if it is
has this game fully released yet?The game's status was "released" but I asked one of my friend maybe a week ago to make sure before buying the game,he said the game ended here.He couldn't continue
Hello! This is the after credits scene, where the game finishes.
ah It just ended right before Illran said Soren wanted to meet Leos
Raen and Leos reunited in Zarryns lab->credits scene->Raen/Leos travelling to another unknown city->Illran show up and said Soren was asking for Leos->game over
ah yeah ofc I havent played this game yet,I was just retelling what my friend said so sorry if I made any mistake while explaining
Hey there! Yes, as stated before, this is where the game finishes.
Is the full voice patch coming out soon? I read the note says April to early May, but it's almost June. Also, thanks for making the game, and I enjoyed it so far.

Hi! Right now we only plan to have The Divine Speaker in English due to the length of the game. Thank you!

Hey! We'll announce when it's ready. We have a more detailed post about it on Patreon but rest assured our editor is going as fast as she can to complete it.
Where can i get more information of the characters??, like the height or something like that? :0
Are you going make the divine speaker for android?
Hey! No plans to release on Android at this time.
I played Cyne route, waiting on playing the other two until the patch comes out. Fawn is my favorite and Leos VA is amazing!
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, 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
