Hi everyone. I don't check comments much, so I hadn't seen your questions.
Here's an update post I did semi-recently explaining what's going on with this game, and then another post from last week announcing my new IF. I wouldn't really say EfC is abandoned, but I won't be coming back to it right now. You'll be the first to know in case that changes (you're not the only ones who miss it!). Ty for the understanding
nobody finishes any of the historical/regency stories, its so sad. oh well, time to start another unfinished story and get attached LOL
edit: reading the comments made me realize i've already read this. FML but its ok cuz i read it a while ago at least lol so i only remember bits and pieces
and theres not a lot on this site for regency stuff but if you ever check out choice of games, hearts choice, and hosted games (mobile apps but also on steam and online in general. theyre all tied together by their companies but function slightly differently), they have a good handful of regency or historical in general stuff. most of it is less focused on romance, balls, and suitors though.
Hey sorry I know I already made a comment but I figured since you all are saying their aren't coming back you guys won't too but I just want to know how you know this was wondering if it was on their Tumblr because with this many people saying they aren't coming back it just made me curious
Scandal Notes - you play as a socialite in 1920s London, whose group of friends is being targeted by a Bridgerton style gossip column.
Oblivious Melodies - Regency inspired setting, you play as two siblings. This one is part of a series, and the 1st volume is completed along with the beginning of volume 2.
Affairs of the Court - you're pretty much playing as a fantasy version of Anne Boleyn (there's magic involved in this setting).
Crème de la Crème & Royal Affairs - setting is inspired by early 20th century & it takes place at a finishing school for socialites, nobles, & royalty (Royal Affairs has a royal MC).
If It Please The Court - you play as a court spy in 18th century Versailles, France. WLW romance only.
The Rose of Segunda & The Thorns of War (VN) - the MC travels to court for the Crown Prince's birthday & to compete to be chosen as his bride. The 1st game is completed but the 2nd is still ongoing, there are 4 routes done though.
Ambition: A Minuet in Power (VN) - you play as a woman trying to survive political turmoil in 18th Century Paris (during the French Revolution). It's also available on Steam & Nintendo Switch.
I also like The Lady's Choice (same author as Wayhaven Chronicles) and Regency Love that was already recommended too. They're both VNs.
im so totally fucking my sister's husband again if i get a chance i dont like either of them but the sister more for now ALSO FU DAD also it was really fun to read, i liked the characters a lot, i hope this gets updated some day! best wishes to the author <3
Was reading chapter 3 of J. N. Reynolds "Voyage of the United States frigate Potomac" and couldn't but think of this, hope you find the motivation to continue one day!
I adored the game, but I'll keep being delusional and waiting to bring my man Augustus back from the dead, I haven't been able to romance anyone man, I just want him😭😭
i adore your writing with all my heart, this is a very intriguing demo 💜
[SPOILER ALERT]
one thing i felt was missing was to call out MC's father for being a hypocrite; he's in love with a Republican but disowned his child for being involved with a cult leader (which, yea, a bit of a red flag) who also was very much against the Emperor. tbh i feel like Nicholas would not be a fan of that so i kinda hope it would be addressed in that route
kind of like 'seducing-your-sister's-fiancée' route. i like that you can be angry both at your father (who has an affair of his own) and Harry (it takes two to cheat, after all), who got the better end of the deal, or so it seems. and i'm very curious how they got found out, there's obviously a reason why this couldn't have been resolved quietly
God, I wanted to sock the father sooooo bad! Such a hypocrite; it really boils my blood. Though, I understand MC has to finally grow up and take responsibility; I'm kinda sad we (potentially) have to stop our Hoeing ways T^T, and become a mature adult (boooo).
Mine wasn’t even the fiancé. I bang ONE cult leader on the reg for a few weeks (read months 😅) and suddenly I’m a “ disgrace” but he can have a whole ass boyfriend behind Mom’s back?
God, I really wanted the option to "shrug him off", when he placed his hand on my MC's shoulder near the end. Like, don't touch me, you patronizing hypocrite! Gosh, my daddy issues really showed themselves during this chapter XD
agahdfafaksa i just loveee the angst in this one, especially when you chose the cult route (i'm definitely not attached to Augustus). but anyway i'm so excited on how this game will turn out!
I love this game a lot , I want my mc to better themselves but I don't want help from the father mad at the man for sure I wanted to punch him >_<! >3> Love Calvin and Val and Camila a sweet friend <3
love this game and the pc <3 my daddy issues rly popped out in ch4 esp with the cult and affair versions. if i ever need a good cry i can rely on the the cult vers :') incredibly well written and i love the hedonist's dynamic with their father.
hi!! I'm so glad I found this again and it's just as lovely as I remember! unfortunately, whenever I try to save the game (whether in a save slot or in an attempt to save to disk) an error message pops up saying it's not supported---and my computer doesn't usually have any issues saving Twine-based games :(
I keep coming back to this so I can reread it!! the characters are likable when they need to be and the differences in personalities without being overwhelming all at once is so fun!! ^^
plssss i thought this disappeared forever i really sobbed for a minute while my sister watched me 😭 thank god i followed someone who added this to their collection
omg i was so scared that id lost this!!! so relieved to see its still ongoing! ^^ Eagerly awaiting the next update!!! can't wait to steal my sister's husband again~
Hi, Bianca (the author) speaking. If you feel like you recognize this game already, but is confused at the lack of comments/ratings etc., it's because I deleted my previous itch.io account and created this new one. Everything else is the same (no new updates yet). :-)
Thanks for letting us know - I'm really glad this game isn't abandoned! Any rough estimate you could give on when the next update will be? Still hanging out for that juicy scene where we reunite with Harry! >:D

Sorry but i keep seeing comments saying it's not going to be updated and I just wanted to know how y'all know that, was it said on their Tumblr??
nobody finishes any of the historical/regency stories, its so sad. oh well, time to start another unfinished story and get attached LOL
edit: reading the comments made me realize i've already read this. FML but its ok cuz i read it a while ago at least lol so i only remember bits and pieces
do you any that are completed or recommend completed games if you don't mind me asking?
theres not a whole lot, but from what i can remember;
ones similar to this (regency style with more traditional romance, like balls and stuff) with mostly romance focus:
-The Ladys Choice
-the widow's boutique (on itch.io or mobile app)
-RegencyLove (mobile app for iphone)
-arcadie second born (generally historical with romance but not as heavily focused, and not as slice of life)
in general i'd look through this list for ones that look interesting, they're all released and historical https://itch.io/games/released/tag-historical
and theres not a lot on this site for regency stuff but if you ever check out choice of games, hearts choice, and hosted games (mobile apps but also on steam and online in general. theyre all tied together by their companies but function slightly differently), they have a good handful of regency or historical in general stuff. most of it is less focused on romance, balls, and suitors though.

OMG THIS IS SO GOOD, I LOVED IT! The story is so good, I'll wait for future updates🫶🏻
I love this 🥹😭 i hope it's not abandoned 😭. If the author still working on it, I'll patiently waiting goodluck💝
I miss this
Finally got around to reading this one and it was SO FUN. I dont think ive ever been so giddy while reading an IF. Can't wait for future updates!
God, I wanted to sock the father sooooo bad! Such a hypocrite; it really boils my blood. Though, I understand MC has to finally grow up and take responsibility; I'm kinda sad we (potentially) have to stop our Hoeing ways T^T, and become a mature adult (boooo).
AUGUSTUS BABY IM SORRY 😭😭
my goshshshshhshs, i love thissss
i have been waiting for it to be update long before and i will say i am more than satisfied!!
and bish whats wrong with our father??? like bro has a secret affair with some nicholas with an h and i cant hook up with some cult leader???
i cant wait for more updatess!1!
the writing style is absolutely beautifultotally not hoping the god augustus believes in has some mercy on me and brings him back to lifei am smitten
Right? I was so incensed on MC's behalf!
Love this game, but our father's hypocrisy is annoying. Like, really sir? YOUR judging MY hookups?
exactly.
PREACH! Sure, I had an affair with my sister's then-fiance; but why was Harry allowed to stay in court, but my MC wasn't???
Mine wasn’t even the fiancé. I bang ONE cult leader on the reg for a few weeks (read months 😅) and suddenly I’m a “ disgrace” but he can have a whole ass boyfriend behind Mom’s back?
God, I really wanted the option to "shrug him off", when he placed his hand on my MC's shoulder near the end. Like, don't touch me, you patronizing hypocrite! Gosh, my daddy issues really showed themselves during this chapter XD
I'm glad to of found this demo again, last I played it was when it ended with Evie turning up. Brilliant and definitely can't wait for more
Thank you!
Plz when do we get to meet Narcissa?
you have me hooked on the story.
Ty! Next chapter ;-)
agahdfafaksa i just loveee the angst in this one, especially when you chose the cult route (i'm definitely not attached to Augustus). but anyway i'm so excited on how this game will turn out!
Ty! Augustus is a fave of mine as well.
Ah, the three genders: man, woman and b r a t ! This is my favourite thing I've read this week already and I haven't gone past the third screen!
Edit - I've now finished this and my first impression was correct. The tone, the setting, the characters, the vibes... immaculate.
hahahaha Thank you very much! <3
Hahaha I don't know why I laughed so hard at this *three genders: woman, man and brat* oh god that made my day 😂😂
I love this game a lot , I want my mc to better themselves but I don't want help from the father mad at the man for sure I wanted to punch him >_<! >3> Love Calvin and Val and Camila a sweet friend <3
I love The Hedonist too! <3
love this game and the pc <3 my daddy issues rly popped out in ch4 esp with the cult and affair versions. if i ever need a good cry i can rely on the the cult vers :') incredibly well written and i love the hedonist's dynamic with their father.
Ty!! Sorry about the crying :-D
Ran into some issues trying to play your game.
Error popup states:
"An embedded page at v6p9d9t4.ssl.hwcdn.net says
Afatal error has occured. Aborting.
Error: no valid storage adapters found."
So sorry for the delayed response. Have you been able to fix this?
Unfortunately it's still an error.
Might be due to a HTML5 safety feature protecting local storage from being read.
That's a shame :-( Have you tried alloiwing all cookies?
Okay, so general cookie testing:
According to https://arty.name/localstorage.html
My browser can save over 5 million characters.
And yes, I can accept cookies in order to log into websites; such as having an itch.io account.
According to http://www.sharonminsuk.com/code/storage-test.html
I can load HTML5 session information just fine.
Further reading:
I see that the issue extends to many other games on itch.io
Looking into this further, the hwcdn.net server that itch runs will serve cookies in a 3rd-party way.

https://itch.io/t/850753/ios-web-games-and-iframes-error
Cookie-jacking is a real thing. That's why these settings are the way they are. But perhaps if I tweaked my browser settings, I could access the game?
I change my Chrome browser settings for the itch.io website:

I shift+refresh the game's web page and try again, but alas - no. No change.
Would you know somewhere else (a web server or something) that my browser would load the cookies of your game from?
Thank you for replying!
I'm so sorry, but I have no clue. I wish I did :-( I'll look a bit more into this matter and reply to you again in case I figure anything out.
Can I just say I hate the mc father! he's such a hypocrite! good game though. I hope it updates soon.
FRRRR like bro makes no sense 💀 “I had an affair for LOVE” like BOY- stfuuu
hi!! I'm so glad I found this again and it's just as lovely as I remember! unfortunately, whenever I try to save the game (whether in a save slot or in an attempt to save to disk) an error message pops up saying it's not supported---and my computer doesn't usually have any issues saving Twine-based games :(

No official estimate, but I'll be back from my writing hiatus on April!
Great! Hope things go well for you in the meantime. :)
