Chapter 5 update!


I'm pleased to share Honor Bound Chapter 5 today! There are some minor changes and fixes here and there earlier, but you can skip to the start of Chapter 5 if you'd like. If you have the time and energy, I always love to hear what you think - I read through everything that comes through and I often make edits to the demo and to later chapters based on player feedback.

The demo is now around 227,000 words - just over 50,000 words added! Things you may encounter in this chapter:

  • drama among students, town, and families
  • locking gazes over a desk
  • holding someone's hand very intensely
  • kisses, if you want them
  • a road trip
  • some really nice food
  • a breakup, if you play your cards right (or wrong)

March 5 fixes:

  • Chapter skip no longer interrupts the quiz about the state of the world
  • Stat page no longer spreading slander about who the PC is interested in romancing
  • Added clarity about which options definitely end the Korzha romance (so you can assume others do not)
  • Various typo and minor chapter-skip fixes

March 6 fixes:

  • Chapter skip fixes and tweaks, quiz fixes

March 7 fixes:

  • Chapter 5 romantic scene with Matia no longer triggers if you’re not in a romance
  • Saying no to hanging out with Denario in Chapter 5 no longer leads to hanging out
  • Typo fixes
  • Chapter 3 campfire scene with Matia should not result in repeated description of leaving to go to a tent

Bug about town opinion when skipping directly to chapter 5 (and either grammar error or someone is not being included in the string containing "by necessity includes you. , ")


Style inconsistency with stat toggle on, 3rd option doesn't have the brackets.

Enjoyable chapter with the students, Korzha, Savarel, Raffi and dealing with the town about the bandit group.

Thank you so much for spotting those and letting me know - that's all fixed now!

Another error in skipping directly to chapter 5 - I picked the option to set romantic interest to Fiore and no one else, but the stats screen shows my character is interested in Denario with no such comment on Fiore's.  (also feels like that part of the skip section should have picking the same choice be disabled. I don't know what continuously picking the same character does since it doesn't give a plus to their relationship bars, just sets "player feels attraction to so-and-so" flags to True, unless it's a hidden thing I can't see).

Fantastic, thanks - that's fixed!
