WOW. I haven’t read for a bit, so I thought it was a good time to hop back in to this story. Super excited for Part 2!!
I have my eye on you Liz and Kadaj…
Drys... Please let it not be our cute cat, please let it not be our cute cat, please let it not be our cute cat, please let it not be our cute cat, please let it not be our cute cat, please let it not be our cute cat, please let it not be our cute cat, please let it not be our cute cat :c
It was a couple builds ago now, but I just wanted to highlight how grateful I am for the section written from Lyall's perspective. From a narrative standpoint, it was necessary because we needed to see what was happening outside, and the MC was still stuck in jail. But from a more meta standpoint, I was so glad to hear directly from Lyall's thoughts that he genuinely loves the MC and believes in his innocence. I was worried that he might be lying about that, especially since the romance developed so quickly, but if his inner monologue said it then it has to be true. After all, why would he lie inside his own head? If anyone ever starts to doubt Lyall or his intentions, this section is solid, concrete assurance that he's exactly who he says he is.
Yep. If youre being accused, and your only defense is "trust me", you cant be sure if someone would actually trust you. Theres always that vague "yes, i trust you", but we can never know. But seeing directly from his pov really show that he does care, and im glad...
Download 1.17.1 and use the chapter select to reach the point you were at in the game. The latest versions of renpy have been a bit buggy and saves being lost is a regular occurence. If you wish to unlock CGs and music again, use the skip unseen text option and skip through the VN up to the point you left off on.
increíble y gusta muchos las personalidades de todos son distintas pero cada uno tiene su razón para ser así y no le culpó al príncipe pero igual debe darle almenos el beneficio de la duda di lo hizo o no, pero aún así está epico espero con ansias el siguiente cap 😁😁😁
. True love is measured by how deep you fall And judged by how low you are willing to crawl Just to save it and make it last It is determined by how willing you are to open up and offer your trust. It is hospitable, amazing at all times, and always kind. It is never prejudiced, it is color blind.
There is one thing I'd like to point out though (obviously spoilers), it's certainly not a story-breaking plot hole, and I wouldn't even be surprised if it's intentional, but I still feel like I should mention it:
The MC has some evidence that could arguably suggest that if he isn't innocent the prince would likely be involved too, it's far from definitive proof, but it's definitely there:
most motivations someone might have for killing a king would also apply to killing the rest of the line of succession
when he was outside after ball incident the MC would've had a good opportunity to approach the prince in a situation where there would likely be no witnesses, he could escape if there were witnesses or the attack went wrong, and he wouldn't be particularly suspicious if he was caught approaching the prince as long as he wasn't visibly armed, and while no one witness can confirm this, the prince could confirm his own presence, Lyall could confirm that the MC was there, and the MC knowing the prince was there (and what he was doing) would confirm that this was at the same time
Probably some spoilers but I think there is 3 major things that MC can literally say to prove his innocence: (Spoilers)
- 1: Even if he was on the scene of the tragedy, he was way to clean to be a culprit you would imagine if MC did it why is he too clean?
- 2: If they checked the body for Rigor Mortis and Wounds. It would be helpful I even imagine it like a Danganronpa Trial where the MC was to prove his innocence by saying: "If any of you had checked for the time of death you would notice that was before I entered the room".
- 3: Them the fact that the MC was literally sick? and there was many at list 3+ that can affirm that is in fact correct due to the fall. And the fact even on the day of the tragedy the MC wasn´t feeling well would be enough prove to his innocence if the above wasn´t checked. Sure, he only did feint when saying what he had dreamt the day before. But even thou he wasn´t in a good shape to commit the tragedy...
With that I probably have proven the fact that if the MC was smart, he would probably survive the trial without being executed, it probably would be fun that you´d have like multiple choices and had to select like: (A: Sick | B: Weapon | C: Lack of Blood on Clothes)
Sure, it would be tedious but basically if done correctly would be awesome. I´m basically just wishful thinking but if needed I could make a small example.
I just wanted to reply to this to explain some things.
You can stab someone and get very little amounts of blood on your person. It's a very possible thing to do and most of the time the problem for the culprit stems from the amount of blood they get on the floor or area around them. That's only if they're trying to hide the body though.
The idea of Rigor Mortis wasn't discovered until the early 19th century. Back then they had very little to go off of when it came to understanding death.
The fact that they were feeling ill doesn't excuse anything either.
Not saying that they're completely and perfectly framed, but trials back then were never fair and a person of his status would most likely face severe punishment.
I'm also not saying that the MC has no way out of this. They can play their cards, but in the end it's all up to the court whether they choose to believe him or not.
Oh! Right if are considering the time frame would be correct the fact that the lack of knowledge about death. (Possible Spoilers)
At first, was a bit confusing was since I´d thought there would be like a lot of blood splatter (if it was by a slashing weapon but if it´s a piercing weapon there would basically just be a hole with little blood splatter but then I´d would open another can of worms that I don´t want to open it...).
Then yeah regarding the fact the court yeah that would even be hard to convince people due to the fact that MC was basically a political pawn.
Anyways thanks for explaining the lack of blood. Keep up the good work. :D
I just finished the whole visual novel now and I have to say it is definitely my number 1 favorite. Each chapter was extremely well thought out and every scenario was played out well. With each starting chapter even if the littlest things weren't included in it the whole novel felt complete and really polished. I was instantly hooked within the first chapter and no novel has done that before so props to that. Everything evolving to enhance the experience was the best I have ever experienced. The background music fit in perfectly and with each turn from the music it still fit the environment, the art style is also by far my favorite as well it a nice mix between the cartoony or fantasy type and a more realistic. I also loved each and every backdrop, sprite, and image in the novel. The best part it is the plot, with the plot I would say it was extremely good there is a ton of suspense, joy, sadness, and just almost every emotion. The plot was also really well developed and one of the better ones I have enjoyed. I would recommend reading this novel and I am completely excited for the coming chapters. Thank you atmac and your team of illustrators, writers/authors, and coding team for creating a beautiful visual novel!
I just finished the newest update, and.. wow... despite being a short one, it certainly was interesting. Part of it startled me at, I'm not going to lie, but, then again, the situation isn't really great right now as it is as a whole anyway, so it's to be expected, I suppose. Nevertheless, great job with the new stuff.
I truly love the game but I hate the fact every time I get the update I have to resurf at the beginning this is the second time it's happened to me I really love it the game but I hate when I have to start from the beginning again even trying to load a old save file it takes me back to the name of the character screen other than that I love the games you come up with and I hope you have a good one and year and you're family too 😊 and take your time don't have to rush
I added a chapter select function to the game now. That should help with it. It's a problem with Renpy and I cant really figure out how to get around it.
The android version is updated. The chapter is a bit shorter than the last couple of chapters, but if it's so short that you're not able to notice that you're reading new content...you might not have updated it properly.
I managed to blaze through everything currently available in one sitting, and I absolutely loved it. My gay heart was racing, especially towards the end. The world-building, characterizations, and art are all incredibly captivating. I do have one question (if you're comfortable answering). Roughly how far into the overall story are we after the events of chapter 8? Like how many chapters are planned? Sorry if you've been asked this before, I'm just really excited to see where the story goes.
I've been playing for a good hour or so and as I can't remember there being a single choice to be made ( if there was I'm sorry I guess I forgot :3 ) so I'm questioning will they come in later or does it not have a choice system? with one or not either way I still very much enjoy playing this VN<3 <3
I really enjoy this visual novel! To be honest, its one of the best I have seen (considering its the first I've opened), but this is pretty good! Anyway, I play this as an escape from reality, since its a bit hard to deal with. Its like, a new and better reality for me so I can be more, happier or something. But thanks for making this
(and yes, I have recently created this account to comment on this!)
From the last couple of updates, it has come out once every three months. Don't know if that trend will be followed this time, but a little thing i noticed.
Haha, yeah. The build will come out when I'm done with it. These take time since I work on everything but the music and I want to make sure that it's not rushed. <3

First time reading Lyre and it is quite something, didn't expect the events in the later parts of part 1, but they were great. Can't wait for part 2!
WOW. I haven’t read for a bit, so I thought it was a good time to hop back in to this story. Super excited for Part 2!! I have my eye on you Liz and Kadaj…
Nooo, the blade is from...
Drys...
Please let it not be our cute cat, please let it not be our cute cat, please let it not be our cute cat, please let it not be our cute cat, please let it not be our cute cat, please let it not be our cute cat, please let it not be our cute cat, please let it not be our cute cat :c

And does more in two hours than everyone else has in two weeks
Wow. That was a heck of an update... I'm looking forward to part two...
thank you so much I have been waiting to read more of this vn thank you Atmac so much you do not understand how much I grateful for
thisHello Atmac hope you're doing well. 🙂
Aaaaaa Lyall my beloved
Just curious, approximately how many chapters will there be in total?
I cant say for sure yet, it's a surprise.
i don't like it when we're in action with someone and talking to them during 69 😂
Today marks the 69th day since chapter 9 came out. I find that interesting.
The funny number!!!
Lol
Is this completed?
Not yet. There's 9 chapters out so far with a 10th coming soon.
Thank you
Also are there any nsfw?
Yes, there is a small amount of NSFW.
That 'll work for me it's time to get trauma I mean to download

Hi atmac here's a fan of yours... 😉
I jus downloaded 1.16 and the previous saves were not working and cause error, how should i fix this???

If you wish to unlock CGs and music again, use the skip unseen text option and skip through the VN up to the point you left off on.
Thnx, guess I'll just start from the beginning then (;
i really like the vn just keep going atmac nice work!😉

When is the next updates for the game coming up????????????????????????????????????????
The next update has an undetermined release date. I am working on it as we speak :)
. True love is measured by how deep you fall
And judged by how low you are willing to crawl
Just to save it and make it last
It is determined by how willing you are to open up and offer your trust.
It is hospitable, amazing at all times, and always kind.
It is never prejudiced, it is color blind.
Everything so far is great!

No, it is not finished. They meant that they are caught up.

Is this vn nsfw
According to the tags, it indeed is NSFW.
Is the android version not updated or is the new chapter just really short because im quite confused?
The android version is updated. The chapter is a bit shorter than the last couple of chapters, but if it's so short that you're not able to notice that you're reading new content...you might not have updated it properly.
That vision has left me…shocked And spooked a little
That was amazing!
Plot go brrrrrrrrr
Alguém sabe quando chegará a próxima atualização ❤️❤️❤️
Its coming soon.
obrigado 👍
interesting plot hmmmzzzz

Im not gonna give a perfect answer for that, but lets just say that theres plenty more to come.
Ah fair enough. Im excited for however much plenty more ends up being!
the excitement I feel because this reply is amazing!
I've been playing for a good hour or so and as I can't remember there being a single choice to be made ( if there was I'm sorry I guess I forgot :3 ) so I'm questioning will they come in later or does it not have a choice system? with one or not either way I still very much enjoy playing this VN <3 <3

when atmac be ready
When im finished with it.
From the last couple of updates, it has come out once every three months. Don't know if that trend will be followed this time, but a little thing i noticed.
Pretty much. Sometimes it takes a little less time, sometimes it takes a little more.
Gasp! A vn creator responded?! That's so cool!!
And, um. Yeah. I don't mind you taking your time or the time you need to post updates. Rather quality than quantity.
Anyway, thank you so much for responding! Hope ya are having a wonderful time whenever ya read/see this!
Thank you and of course!
hello, umm does anybody know how i can get notified when the next chapter comes?? like is there a discord or twitter for this?
Theres a discord in the description and my Twitter is @SkyePeenut
You can also follow them on here on itch.io and it should send you an email every time they post the dev-log entry for the new chapter.
I love the VN
does anyone know when the new update will come out?
I know when it's coming out.
No way- thank you so much for spending time to work on Lyre, its one of my favourites :D
Haha, yeah. The build will come out when I'm done with it. These take time since I work on everything but the music and I want to make sure that it's not rushed. <3
Of course! Keep up the amazing work!
