Imperial Grace
New demo is here!
Hello, I'm very pleased to announce the release of this new demo, which is the culmination of months of work.
- New full-body sprites with arm and outfit variations
- New customization options: outfits, jewelry, more hairstyles and every possible eye color!
- New, more coherent backgrounds - Extensive staging work to make the result more dynamic
- New, more elegant UI
- Minor adjustments to text (new choices and a few sentences rewritten to be more fluid)
Please note this build is NOT COMPATIBLE with the old saves, in theory they shouldn’t be detected but if they do show up, do not attempt to load old saves.
This is still a demo, so several elements are not yet in place, notably certain mechanics (events and diplomacy). There are also a lot of outfits and accessibility options missing, which we plan to add later. If you'd like to follow the development more closely or have any comments, don't hesitate to join our Discord ^^
Thanks to all of you for your support over the years, we hope you enjoy all these changes and will be able to wait for the final release of the game!

Got to say that I love what I've seen of the demo so far; I spent more time lovingly picking out hairstyles and clothes than I did playing the game (I ran right into the first game over). I remember playing the first demo years ago and backing the Kickstarter, and already it's such a leap from what the game was before. Fantastic work, and I will happily read many more updates until you feel the game is ready to be released!
Thank you for your trust! It's really important for me that people who supported us during the KS really see where they money went and still get patient with us while we work on the full game, we have such a kind community and I'm grateful every day <3
(Also, the missluck of getting the earlier game over after spending time doing the perfect MC really made me laugh XD)
Love the new update this just gets better and better, when you think it can’t get any better. I absolutely adore the attention to detail in both art and story! 💝
Is there any estimate on the final release date? I know it’s probably hard to guess and there is obviously so much work involved!
Hello, thank you so much for your kind words, I am currently assessing a new timeline for the release, it's true it's hard to get an idea as lifeTM often get in the way of deadlines. I will make an update (it's part of my resolution to communicate better in store and not just on KS) but honestly despite my best wishes I don't see the game finished in 2025 there is too much art and translation still missing.
Just finished playing the demo, absolutely love it! 10 out of 10. Will there be an option to increase the text size?
Hello yes I plan to add this, but it's more complex coding than it looks so I had to let it go for the moment. (Because increased text size means the text overflow at some point, so I need to figure out a safe fail for those moments, if possible automatic.)
Congrats on your progress!! I can’t wait to check it out.
Thanks! let me know what you think of it ~
Oh ye gads, the clothes! The beautiful, full sprites!
The Master of Murmurs still managing to be The Most Interesting Person in the Room, despite being surrounded by courtly peacocks!
The first demo won me over so I kicked in for the project, but I'll have to play this new demo just to admire it.
Thank you so much for your support for so long, it's true the game truly step up visually since ouf first edition, I'm very proud and there is no harm in downloading it just to doll up the MC ahah
I AM SO EXCITED STOPPP
Hope the new demo fills your expectations <3
