Evelyn
note: as of right now, there is a glitch with certain endings, outlined in the comment section. I will be fixing this asap, but right now I am doing summer classes!
The crops are dying and you're the only one who can save what remains of the world... aren't you?
Your name is Evelyn, and you were chosen at birth to save the commune of Moil, marked by the veil over your face when you were born. Of course, you were never told all of this until the very day you're supposed to actually be a savior. Which is today.
Play through this Bitsy RPG, in which your only goal is to sacrifice yourself to the beast Curglaft, to appease his hunger and save your commune. Ignore any locked doors, winding hallways, and keys, of course, they'll only distract you...
cw: passing mentions of sexual assault, incest, suicidal ideation, and slavery; lesbophobia; cults; gun violence and death
-----------
This is the first game I've ever done, Bitsy or otherwise, so I'm hoping you all will like it! Please let me know ASAP if there are any bugs/errors, as well as if you think anything else warrants a content warning here in the description. I want to give a huge thanks to everyone in the Bitsy Discord, especially Sean for all his help with the hacking, as well as my lovely friends/beta testers!

a couple more errors -
i was able to use the encyclopedia despite not picking it up
if you walk left to the screen with the elders after maria starts following you, there will be two marias on the screen when you return to where you find her. speaking to her again will cause the duplicate maria to disappear though, so it doesn't prevent you from finishing the game
also, with maria, you are able to walk on the wall with the window, which you aren't able to do without her
i like that i've gotten the 'true ending' end card several times despite taking several different paths to get to it (ive gotten it with and without killing, with or without forgiveness, its cool they are able to get the same result)
i have now been able to get all endings: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 (the error i mentioned previously occurs after you tell your father you hate him before entering the feeding room, and you did pick up the gun but i was able to get the ending without issue in the alternate path where you are offered the deal)
(also idk if i expressed just how much i love this game in my previous comment its just so good!! since there's no sound/music i picked a random album to listen to while playing and lookingafter by vashti bunyan and it was coincidentally like the perfect mood and tone for several parts in the story. the path i took on my blind playthough was the most rewarding and satisfying, the gradual discoveries you make in the story is perfectly paced. it was a bit slow trying to figure out what triggered the different endings but i did enjoy finding differences in the paths i could have taken. im really impressed this is your first game because its one of the most interesting and engaging story game ive ever played!)
I'm so, so happy you like it so much!!!! Like, I'm honestly happy flapping (I'm autistic) right now because I'm thrilled you love it and the world I've created! Thank you so much for finding all these glitches, it helps tremendously! :D
I'm rereading this and I've decided I like the accidental ability Evelyn gains to walk on walls with her girlfriend, fueled by the power of lesbianism. Probably will fix this, but for now I like that I've accidentally made this canon. Also, I'll be drawing Evelyn and Maria soon, but be patient as I am no artist
oh i almost dont wanna go back and see the other endings after managing to get 'true ending' lol
description may need a cw for suicide/suicidal ideation based on that one journal though
and also cw for gun violence/death?
i think i ran into my first glitch, i was offered to make a deal but then the dialogue prompt becomes stuck in place, on an empty dialog box
Thank you so much! I'll update the description and work on that glitch right away once I get my laptop back!
This is such an engaging, detailed and entertaining story. Nice work. :)
Thank you so much!
