About Unhappy Ever After


'In the infinitesimal spaces between the pages of every book lies an unseen universe: smaller perhaps than ours but filled with all the wonders, and horrors, conceivable by the human mind'

Enter into a land of dark fantasy with Sophia, an eighteenth-century librarian's apprentice to Queen Anne of England. Join her quest to find a way home and help her take revenge on the evil witch that tore her away from her lands.

Discover a world filled with political intrigue as a power-hungry Emperor seeks to wrestle control of the Twelve Duchies by use of his magical Affinity Guards, and get caught up in a rebellion where Sophia's abilities will help decide the fate of the strange, monster-filled world into which she's been swept.

Venture with her into steampunk, technomage lairs abandoned since the mythical 'Age of Words'. Share her descent into The Purple, a strange and disturbing underworld where everything lusts for flesh. Help her explore a dark forests under the curse of an Evil Blight and discover the reasons behind it. Help her make new friends in a dangerous world, and share in her first unlikely, romance.

Aid her in her discovery of an ancient, magical curse that lies over the world, denying all it's inhabitants the ability to read. Take control of ancient magical texts that, as she discovers them, will allow her to develop abilities strong enough to challenge the Emperor's most powerful Affinity Guards, and perhaps even the terrible witch who is responsible for tearing her away from her home.

About:

‘Unhappy Ever After’ is a dark, yet funny, RPG that takes traditional fairy tales and turns them on their heads. Along your journey you will meet familiar characters that you’ve know all your life and see them in new situations and within frameworks that you will make you both laugh and despair.

Beyond its parody to the fantasy, ‘Unhappy Ever After’ also aims to parody the real, drawing on situations that are all too pervasive in our world, such as drug abuse, terrorism, and dirty politics. Death too is a prevalent theme and no character, no matter how well known, how famous, or how integral to the plot, is safe from its cold hand!

Despite its beautiful graphics, wondrous music, and humorous interludes, ‘Unhappy Ever After’ is a game, in places, designed to shock and appal, and where your decisions, no matter how noble can lead to devastating ends.

Features:

* Explore a free-roam world where you decide who to help and who to leave to their own fate.
* Meet characters from ancient stories and rhymes such as Hansel and Gretel,or Little Red Riding Hood.
* A unique magic system where strengthening one ability weakens another.
* An addictive drug system, complete with dealers and quests.
* An adult-themed RPG with political coups, terrorism, drugs, murder, and revenge.
* Beautiful lands to explore.
* A coming of age story with meaningful character progression.
* Team up with interesting and powerful companions each with their own story, conversations, and personalities!
* A day and night system where characters go to bed and monsters come out at night.
* 14 hour story-line with many extra side quests, plus another 2 hour free bonus DLC 'The Maze of Cefgellin'
* Play on after the story's end, doing quests, and building up your character and base camp.
* Controller support, Mouse and Keyboard - full keybinding.

Poorly optimized, leading to lagginess that gets worse as the game runs. [url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/552350/discussions/0/143388132203117840/]This is a known issue,[/url] and while it might not affect you if your computer is less of a potato than mine (although I should note that it does meet the minimum specs listed on the store page), I find it kind of ridiculous that one would need a state of the art gaming PC to run an RPGMaker game. To add insult to injury, after struggling through the choppy graphics for about half an hour, I discovered that at least on Linux, save files are deleted when you exit the game, so you'd have to be able to complete it all in one sitting. I've attempted to contact the developers in order to fix the issue, but received no reply either on the forums or via email. It's a shame because this seems like a genuinely well-written game with some intriguing twists on classic fairy tales -- but that's meaningless when the technical issues render it basically unplayable. ~ [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/31589634-Kimchi-Tea-Reviews/]Kimchi Tea Reviews[/url] ~

I really like RPG games, I have played this game for 63.5 hrs and still continue, and yes, I really enjoy this game, maybe the beginning of playing this game feels heavy when I have to raise the level and make money, but over time it becomes easy and fixed challenging, my advice for those who like RPG games by playing casually you can buy this game

So, I bought this game awhile ago probably because of some sale not sure. I'm going to finish the game because of my ocd completionist personality, but I love hate the game. The storyline is really fun and I'm only playing to find out how it ends, otherwise combat mechanics and other parts of the game non story related are ATROCIOUS. I'll list below. Pro -Cute pixel graphics, cute portraits -Lovely storyline -Initially fun past time rpg game Cons -No good map system -No minimap or option to even open a map so dark areas are VERY HARD to travel in HORRIBLE COMBAT: -TOO MANY FREQUENT RANDOM BATTLE ENCOUNTERS FOR ENEMIES YOU CANT EVEN SEE -NO GOOD ESCAPE SYSTEM - sometimes I'd waste like 6 times to freakin escape a battle. I don't understand the mechanic in how the game determines how you ca escape but I don't want to fight every single battle even when the monsters do 0 dmg to me. This makes traveling through areas a pain in the ass ESPEICALLY for quests that require you to go back and forth between areas, the monsters don't particular scale too much as they're still beatable but annoying when they're in parties of 3. -No good healing system - Have to heavily rely on pots and hea…

I played this game for long enough to now decide that I no longer wanted to keep going. In the beginning, it's very nice. It has a compelling story and characters. The fighting could use some work, I was on Easy Mode, and was still struggling a lot. I felt that on Easy, it was really on Normal because it was too intense to be on Easy. Anyway, back on the story of the game - the most important part, really - it started off well and went downhill fast by a certain point. I'm of course talking about [spoiler] the time-skip [/spoiler] which I thought was highly unnecessary. A lot of the character development is gone by doing that type of thing. It felt lazy from a writer's point of view. It does not do the story justice at all. In my eyes, this game had a lot of potential, but unfortunately it could not deliver.

This is a rather hard review for me to write since the way the story is presented is downright beautiful in this game in my opinion. Every single quest makes you question your own morality and the events in the world. To such a degree that you wonder if you should help this person or not since it might kill them to complete the quest. The main reason I vote negatively on this game is due to the battle system, or more specifically once you get past the first chapter of the game and head through the black for the first time to arrive at the library. RPGmaker has several different possible battle systems. Some work better than others, and this developer decided to use one of the least well balanced systems in the program. Since the way this is designed is that usually you should have 3 party members at all time, otherwise the odds are stacked against you almost CONSTANTLY. The problem is this game loves taking party members away from you, to such a degree that when you arrive in chap2 it usually takes around 3 rounds of both your party members attacking the same enemy for just 1 enemy to go down. This gets worse and worse as you progress. Again this game if the battle s…
