Have to admit the animations and movements were pretty smooth and neat, even for the web version. Incredibly unique piece I've seen so far. Thank you for your content
I usually like the character customization in RPG games. Main Character or companion... What do you plan for that? A complete character creator? To which extent we'll be able to customize our characters?
Another thing, I love your artstyle. It has something.... unique.
We don't plan to have many customization options (besides equipment and skin / hair color), mainly because it would take too much work to adapt all the smut scenes, arts and dialogues to match. Also keep in mind the main character isn't a blank slate like in Skyrim, but someone with a backstory like in The Witcher for example.
I've had no issues installing/playing the game. Love the characters and story so far, and the (Prequel? AU?) comic looks to be on par. Congrats, you are better than a triple a studio in my opinion! Keep up the great work!
My game suddenly crashed and had to force shutdown my laptop right after going out of the Town in Osh' To's questline. Not really sure why it happened but just wanna make sure whether it's a common scenario or just a me situation.
so I have a question I clicked run game and it put me into the Inn and I tried to go down the stairs and it just kept telling me that the full version is on your website so does that mean that was a demo? And does that mean if I want to fully play it I have to download it?
Yes the web game here is a tiny demo. You can download the public build here for free which has a lot more stuff, and if you like it enough you can get the patreon build which has everything we did so far.
Hello, i downloaded your game and played it for like, 5 hours, and was amazed. Nice graphics and design, interesting characters, turn-based combat. So, i closed the game and decided to wait for full game release, so i can buy it and fully enjoy it. But i have one question that tingling me. Can you tell me a bit about the main plot ? When i was left alone in the tavern i was stunned for a moment, something felt amiss, because i thought that i would recive a "main quest" that would help me to progress the story and encourage me to explore the city. Maybe i'm overthinking myself, but i would like to hear your thoughts about that. Thanks.
I downloaded public build 22, but the purple robed crier is never appearing and I finished all tasks up to that point. He used to appear in previous builds but I never could do his story because it was patreon only. How do I get time to pass in the game for him to show up?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Love the game btw!
I didn't unlock the patreon version, but in the past when I had build 19 public version, the purple robe crier was there even though I couldn't start his quest, now in build 22, he isn't there anymore, what was added for the public since build 19? as of right now, nothing has changed for me
so i started to read comic and later i discovered video of this game and now i see it well still wonder if this game is made by some inspiration or just new idea
The game takes place 87 years before the comic in the same setting, but a different place. Of course most of the characters in the comic aren't born yet, but you will see familiar faces...
Is there any quest you can repeat for coins? or Zone with loot that refresh? I tend to play a bribe-heavy play-trough where I try to be the least murder-y as possible, and it leaves me quite poor (a way of playing I am sure Hilo can appreciate :) )
It would be very apreciated, thank you. Many of the gallery scenes are locked for me because I have less then a silver in my pockets and cannot afford the brothel girls D:
Question two: I really like the Kobold girl, but boi does she has a problematic personality XD. Is there any chance she might eventually join the party as a rogue type character?
Hi i got this from your patron and really loving it but im on the Whispering Bandits quest, im stuck at the sunken face in the dungeon i cant get passed it how do i and what do i and need to offer the face to open the sealed door
In the gallery menu, but in the game itself I think only Moira is repeatable at the moment. We plan to have more repeatable content eventually, once we have time to make the writing for it.
No it's only the elf, and he is not a blank slate either. Think of it like The Witcher protagonist. We might add some cosmetic options (you can already set his color), but nothing beyond that.
i just stared playing but the bath picture is just black with floating towels and the one scene some part of it is just black and i think it will be the same with the rest of the scenes too. how to fix this
For anyone wondering, this may happen on older integrated GPU (old laptops), which aren't supported. We may put some work later to handle them, but no promises.
at the beninning it was an epic game...sadly they ruin all and the game is not more worth....again...really sad end...nothing news since 4 or more update lots of bug and nothing new to see or to do...bah
If you mean there is nothing new in the public version, that's true but it was always meant to be a demo. So if you liked the public build you will also enjoy the full game.
I would also like to know the bugs you are experiencing, so we can fix them.
Just trying out this great looking game tonight for the first time and I am curious. Does the content from the "full game" on Patreon eventually make it into the public release? I am not quite clear on the difference between the public and full game. If you could clarify that I am certainly interested in supporting it if I like what I see in the public version. Thanks!
Hey, unfortunately no, our goal is to publish the game on steam when it is done, so it will always have a paid part to it. The walkthrough shows which quest are public / patreon, but essentially the first act of the game is public (all the first quest / scene of the companions and brothel girls, as well as a bunch of others).
Ah OK great thank you. I have no issue at all with that. Every developer has every right to charge for their hard work. I was just looking for clarification. I do hope that once you get it on Steam there will not be remaining content locked behind Patreon like some developers do. I think that is pretty scummy to their paid customers on Steam. Good luck on your game and I look forward to trying the demo.
nah dude, I meant it as you can’t play SHIT ON MAC because it will then proceed to just kill itself slowly. I’ve been reading the comic tho :). I’m honestly impressed by how much work y’all put into the world and lore to a HGame. I wish you all the best.
So I'm in the whispering bandits dungeon, I looked at the walkthrough cause I can't find a key for the door before the sunken face. Ive checked the entire dungeon and I want to know if I'm blind or I should have gotten it before hand by looking in the town?
This game has an interesting world and a equally wonderful story behind each of the characters and setting which I quite like. Most importantly, will this game ever plan to be on Steam?
I have a question about the story line. Do I understand correctly that the main quest is actually the story about our two demons, ladies? Will the story continue to develop here? I'm asking because my skill tree is already maxed out and if the story goes on for a long time (which I really hope!) then all the XP points from now on are actually superfluous. ;)
The skills are not balanced yet, that's why it's so easy to get everything unlocked. The main story is about the Kaldea / Athlathka crisis, and the demons do have a non specified role in it. Obviously it's not finished yet, but we have everything planned.
Its a total breath of fresh air; the scenes themselves have so much attention to detail, the dialogue is actually well written and respects me as the reader with it's intelligent and clever phrasing and story telling, the art is simply magnificent - the characters are so expressive and alive. The music too is a professional production worthy of just listening to on its own. The mechanics and gameplay are fun and engaging and I have no doubt will continue to improve as development goes on - In fact I have no doubt at all that the final product will be a success. You have here not just one of the best erotic games on the market with what it is already, (and one to surely stand with the greats when it's finished) but also a fun and interesting game on it's own, with interesting characters and world that draws me in and gets me excited for more! Clearly lots of hard work and love has gone into this. I wait eagerly for the final product and will be cheering you on! Good job, and thank you.
The development is still in progress, and we are passed the midpoint. There is a lot of content already to play with though, and a bunch of it is free.
i am brazilian and i have some difficulty reading things in english but i love your game i would like to know if someday in future updates you could maybe bring a translation into brazilian portuguese
We might translate it but there is a huge amount of text, so we don't know how realistic it is at the moment. The game might have over a million words at the end.
Thank you. Scenes with multiple girls will be a thing, but we don't plan to have multiple males or futa at the moment, so don't hold your breath for those but who knows. I never thought of doing a dedicated skill tree for scenes. It could be something we add later on if it make sense and we have the time.
It's all OK! It's still an powerful and really good game. You know your target group better than I do. I thought about it because society is constantly diversifying and becoming more colorful
EDIT: I figured it out. Leveling is very important, it's probably worth it to have a larger notification than the little red exclamation mark at the top of the screen. after picking up a decent skill and swapping it out for parry, I was finely able to win the fight.
This game has really, really good art but confusingly balanced combat. From what I can tell, enemies get to use 2 attack actions per turn, plus any non-attack actions they have. For example, the second fight of the game, (when running up to a hex 3 distance from them) will use the following series of moves (I will be attacking their arms with slash each round):
turn 1:
bandit: move to you. hefty swing (30 dmg), move to you again because of the knockback, delay action
bandit: basic action (45 dmg), hefty swing (30 dmg, push, +30 dmg if you hit a wall)
I am out of HP and die
that is a total of 335 damage from them with several status effects and 84 from me (all the damage values are going off prediction and looking at the card descriptions in their discard, I didn't record actual attack values).
to ilustrait my point, here is how one turn went when we were both at full HP:
One of his attacks, which he used along side unstopable in the same turn, dealt 27 damage, injured my head, brought my arm armor from 28 to 4, and applied 3 points of bleed damage.
one of my attacks on him deals 6 damage and brought his arm armor from 28 to 22
I am sorry about the essay, but I just want to make it clear the difficulty I am having. It mathematically seems impossible to beat the second fight of the game (where you are scripted to lose the first one). The enemy has between 2 and 3 times as many actions as you on their turn, and almost every single one of the actions they get does signifigantly more damage than you. I am sure there is something I am missing, but I have spent over an hour on this fight, trying every strategy I can possibly think of, and nothing has even come close to working. And this is only on normal difficulty. that isn't including the fact that several of their attacks not only do massive damage, but also hit multiple random limbs (or at least, the limbs they hit are not revealed when using preperation) so you can't plan around their really strong attacks with parry.
Again, I am sure I am doing it wrong, but I just want to know WHAT I am doing wrong and how I should be doing combat.
Thank you for all that. Yeah the combat still need a lot of polishing and balancing, but we are getting to it. A lot of enemies and skills are somewhat out of date, and we definitely need a combat tutorial.

the windows download dosnt work
Have you tried the links here?
Have to admit the animations and movements were pretty smooth and neat, even for the web version. Incredibly unique piece I've seen so far. Thank you for your content
Thank you. In case you missed it, a lot of content in the desktop version is free, if you want to go further than our little web version.
I'll make sure to check on in on it, been a while since I've been on itch, but happy to be back
I usually like the character customization in RPG games. Main Character or companion... What do you plan for that? A complete character creator? To which extent we'll be able to customize our characters?
Another thing, I love your artstyle. It has something.... unique.
Thank you!
We don't plan to have many customization options (besides equipment and skin / hair color), mainly because it would take too much work to adapt all the smut scenes, arts and dialogues to match. Also keep in mind the main character isn't a blank slate like in Skyrim, but someone with a backstory like in The Witcher for example.
I've had no issues installing/playing the game. Love the characters and story so far, and the (Prequel? AU?) comic looks to be on par. Congrats, you are better than a triple a studio in my opinion! Keep up the great work!
Thank you!
I have a question is there anymore scenes with lady wolf?
Not yet, but we plan to.
where can you find the sword so it let you go down the stairs in the first leave
Have you checked the walkthgough?
Artwork and demo looks good! I'm gonna save this game for later.
My game suddenly crashed and had to force shutdown my laptop right after going out of the Town in Osh' To's questline. Not really sure why it happened but just wanna make sure whether it's a common scenario or just a me situation.
It could be a case of your laptop overheating, since the game is not well optimized yet. Could you play normally after that?
Got a bit terrified so havent played it yet after that. I'll try it again when I can. I'll make another reply once I have
Just tried it and didn't experience any crashes. You might be right on that.
Just a random question is there/plan for pregnancy
There may be some pregnancy later on, but not in a sexual way.
Oh thank God
so I have a question I clicked run game and it put me into the Inn and I tried to go down the stairs and it just kept telling me that the full version is on your website so does that mean that was a demo? And does that mean if I want to fully play it I have to download it?
Yes the web game here is a tiny demo. You can download the public build here for free which has a lot more stuff, and if you like it enough you can get the patreon build which has everything we did so far.
Is there a way to not have the clementine scene in the prologue without skipping the prologue.
Not at the moment, but we plan to make it optional later.
Is it possible to port this on android?
Yes but we are focusing on the desktop build at the moment.
Hello, i downloaded your game and played it for like, 5 hours, and was amazed. Nice graphics and design, interesting characters, turn-based combat. So, i closed the game and decided to wait for full game release, so i can buy it and fully enjoy it. But i have one question that tingling me. Can you tell me a bit about the main plot ?

Maybe i'm overthinking myself, but i would like to hear your thoughts about that. Thanks.
Hey, thank you, the first main quest is in the patreon build (whispering bandits).
I downloaded public build 22, but the purple robed crier is never appearing and I finished all tasks up to that point. He used to appear in previous builds but I never could do his story because it was patreon only. How do I get time to pass in the game for him to show up?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Love the game btw!
Did you unlock the patreon version? Could you post your issue in the bug tracker channel of our discord? It will be easier to help you there.
I didn't unlock the patreon version, but in the past when I had build 19 public version, the purple robe crier was there even though I couldn't start his quest, now in build 22, he isn't there anymore, what was added for the public since build 19? as of right now, nothing has changed for me
Can you just add an Android version?Thanks
Yes but we are focusing on the desktop build at the moment.
so i started to read comic and later i discovered video of this game and now i see it well still wonder if this game is made by some inspiration or just new idea
The game takes place 87 years before the comic in the same setting, but a different place. Of course most of the characters in the comic aren't born yet, but you will see familiar faces...
and u are the creator yeah?
The creator of the comic is ArbuzBudesh, our team lead.
Is there any quest you can repeat for coins? or Zone with loot that refresh? I tend to play a bribe-heavy play-trough where I try to be the least murder-y as possible, and it leaves me quite poor (a way of playing I am sure Hilo can appreciate :) )
There is no repeatable content to make money at the moment but yeah we will probably add some eventually.
It would be very apreciated, thank you. Many of the gallery scenes are locked for me because I have less then a silver in my pockets and cannot afford the brothel girls D:
Question two: I really like the Kobold girl, but boi does she has a problematic personality XD. Is there any chance she might eventually join the party as a rogue type character?
It's a secret, but yes we thought about that... (not in the near future)
Maybe, a lot of people are asking for translations.
Whispering Bandits quest, im stuck at the sunken face in the dungeon i cant get passed it how do i and what do i and need to offer the face to open the sealed door
Hey, I think you missed the door at the bottom right of this room. That's where you access this area.
is there a way to repeat scenes?
In the gallery menu, but in the game itself I think only Moira is repeatable at the moment. We plan to have more repeatable content eventually, once we have time to make the writing for it.
Is there a character creator in this? Or do you play as the Elf?
No it's only the elf, and he is not a blank slate either. Think of it like The Witcher protagonist. We might add some cosmetic options (you can already set his color), but nothing beyond that.
what kind of cosmetic options would you add if you were to do it?
We have skin and clothes color. Maybe some clothing options later, but not much because we would need to edit all the CG and animated scenes.
Can you make an Android version of the game? Please.
Yes, but once we are confident the desktop version is good enough.
how long is this game?
Several hours (15-25 probably) for free version much more with patreon one.
The art style is simply amazing, same as the story!
Yet I have to ask ifyou have any plans for m/m encounters? :)
Thank you! We have plans for f/f but no m/m, mostly because we work on what we are interested in.
does that mean the chance of seeing it implemented in the future is impossible?
Yes there wont be any m/m.
i just stared playing but the bath picture is just black with floating towels and the one scene some part of it is just black and i think it will be the same with the rest of the scenes too. how to fix this
Are you playing the windows version or the browser version?
windows version
Is the rest of the game working fine?
Could you load a scene with this bug, close the game, and then zip this folder: C:/Users/USER_NAME/AppData/LocalLow/TeamDeadDeer/PriceForFreedom
And send it to teamdeaddeer@gmail.com
For anyone wondering, this may happen on older integrated GPU (old laptops), which aren't supported. We may put some work later to handle them, but no promises.
Still can't wait for this to be available on Android:)
Yeah we will surely do it given how many people are asking for it, but only once we have a solid desktop version.
:)
Why do people down vote comments asking for Android ver? We just want Android version like c'mon .
yeah i mean I don't own a PC, can't afford it right now
Same
at the beninning it was an epic game...sadly they ruin all and the game is not more worth....again...really sad end...nothing news since 4 or more update lots of bug and nothing new to see or to do...bah
Could you elaborate? The changelog is available here if you are confused on what is new: https://priceforfreedom.net/avarice/download
If you mean there is nothing new in the public version, that's true but it was always meant to be a demo. So if you liked the public build you will also enjoy the full game.
I would also like to know the bugs you are experiencing, so we can fix them.

Good luck on your game and I look forward to trying the demo.
Thank you, and yeah the full game will be on Steam (and itch for that matter).
damn i wanna play the full game so badly unfortunately i have mac
There is a mac build, it should work fine.
nah dude, I meant it as you can’t play SHIT ON MAC because it will then proceed to just kill itself slowly. I’ve been reading the comic tho :). I’m honestly impressed by how much work y’all put into the world and lore to a HGame. I wish you all the best.
once the game is finished can you please add it to steam.
Of course, that's the plan.
It's remarkably well done, from gameplay to world to characters to scenes, thank you for this masterpiece in progress.
(Also, is the latest Iski scene patreon only?)
Thank you! And yes the new content is patreon only.
Where is the safe file located?
Cuz, I bought a new Laptop, and I already got so far in the game, and I don't wanna lose my progress. If anyone knows, please tell me.
It depends on your OS but the locations are listed in the FAQ.
I'm on Windows..
And which is the save exactly? I went to the save file location, but the only thing I see are the Jpg for the save's thumbnail..
The jpg are the save files.
Wait.. You can make Jpg images as save files?
Indeed.
So I'm in the whispering bandits dungeon, I looked at the walkthrough cause I can't find a key for the door before the sunken face. Ive checked the entire dungeon and I want to know if I'm blind or I should have gotten it before hand by looking in the town?
Hey, the key is at the very south of the dungeon (you might have missed a good in the dark).
Check the walkthrough if you are lost.
This game has an interesting world and a equally wonderful story behind each of the characters and setting which I quite like. Most importantly, will this game ever plan to be on Steam?
Indeed, we will be on Steam when it is finished (probably no early access there).
I have a question about the story line. Do I understand correctly that the main quest is actually the story about our two demons, ladies? Will the story continue to develop here? I'm asking because my skill tree is already maxed out and if the story goes on for a long time (which I really hope!) then all the XP points from now on are actually superfluous. ;)

Clearly lots of hard work and love has gone into this. I wait eagerly for the final product and will be cheering you on! Good job, and thank you.
Hey thank you very much! Hopefully we wont disappoint you :D
is this game completed or still updating?
The development is still in progress, and we are passed the midpoint. There is a lot of content already to play with though, and a bunch of it is free.
three questions; is there equipment, does skin change based on said equipment, and is there erotic equipments?
There is combat gears but no armors / swords choices. And the player skin doesn't change much at the moment. Erotic scene don't have equipment.
We might translate it but there is a huge amount of text, so we don't know how realistic it is at the moment. The game might have over a million words at the end.
great game, what are the soundtracks? Is there a link for them?
The soundtracks are original to the game. A few of them were posted by their author on newgrounds: https://psyware.newgrounds.com
And there is a soundtrack player in the game gallery.
After a couple of years I have rediscovered this wonderful game. :) Great work!
For the sex scenes: what about some gang bang and or transsexual scenes? And: what do you think about a skill tree for the sex scenes?
Thank you. Scenes with multiple girls will be a thing, but we don't plan to have multiple males or futa at the moment, so don't hold your breath for those but who knows. I never thought of doing a dedicated skill tree for scenes. It could be something we add later on if it make sense and we have the time.
It's all OK! It's still an powerful and really good game. You know your target group better than I do. I thought about it because society is constantly diversifying and becoming more colorful
EDIT: I figured it out. Leveling is very important, it's probably worth it to have a larger notification than the little red exclamation mark at the top of the screen. after picking up a decent skill and swapping it out for parry, I was finely able to win the fight.

me: slash (14 dmg)
turn 3:
basic action (45 dmg), back off (25 dmg + slow + push)
me: slash (14 dmg)
turn 4:
hefty swing (30 dmg, push, +30 dmg if you hit a wall), unstoppable (+6 strength tokens, increasing all further damage), basic action (45 dmg),
me: slash (14 dmg)
turn 5:
bandit: basic action (45 dmg), bash (15 dmg + steal all limb defence)
me: slash (14 dmg)
turn 6:
bandit kick (5dmg), out of cards, delayed action
me: slash (14 dmg)
turn 7:
bandit: basic action (45 dmg), hefty swing (30 dmg, push, +30 dmg if you hit a wall)
I am out of HP and die
that is a total of 335 damage from them with several status effects and 84 from me (all the damage values are going off prediction and looking at the card descriptions in their discard, I didn't record actual attack values).
