About This Game

Daughter of Essence is a story-driven JRPG set in a dark fantasy universe filled with meaningful choices, a diverse cast of intriguing and fully-realized characters, and erotically-charged, high-stakes adventures.

You play as Mercy Albath, a dangerous and spiteful young woman with a grim fate: she is the Daughter of Essence, and the world cannot abide such power running unchecked.

So run. Build your strength. Fight where you can, when you can. Gather powerful allies and fortify your position. Don't slow down, don't ask questions, and don't think about how much you're willing to sacrifice if you truly want to survive.


Features:

The Daughter of Essence is many things. The youngest child of a wealthy lord. A stubborn, rebellious and crass young woman. A skilled fighter and a wielder of elemental forces beyond comprehension. And a lonely soul, desperate to live a normal life, to be free, to be understood, and to protect the people she cares deeply about.
  • 50 hours of story-driven content packed with interesting characters, difficult choices, and countless secrets
  • Base-building elements with both narrative and mechanical ramifications
  • Relevant and engaging sexual encounters with detailed long-form narration & illustrations
  • Deep and interesting character building options, allowing for a huge variety of playstyles
  • Sideview RPG combat with an Active Time Battle system and distinct timed-attack patterns for different weapon types and spells
  • A large, complex world with many interweaving factions, races, religions and motivations
  • Visually appealing and carefully crafted areas to lose yourself in

Weekly Build Version 0.10!

Despite the holidays and a cold bad enough to turn my brain inside-out, I've managed to be much more productive than expected!

This week, we bring you version 0.10: THE HALL Edition! We're doing some last-minute tests and will upload the build soon. However, there's good news and bad news. A new plugin we've implemented for special light and weather effects breaks save files. So, for this build and and perhaps a few more builds up to the next alpha, we're uploading two versions: one that has the special lighting & weather features and one that does not. We're hoping in that time that we can find a workaround to get old save files working with the new stuff.

Eventually, we'll be making the upgrade exclusive, however, because continually uploading multiple versions for multiple tiers is going to get out of hand fast. It's a bummer, but it's sort of the nature of the beast when you're constantly adding new content.

Perhaps before then, we'll implement a feature to start at different chapters in the game. We'll figure it out!

Anyway, that's something for the future. For now, version 0.10a has old save compatibility and 0.10b does not, but has fancy firefly effects.

Choose wisely!

Nym - Lead Dev


Version 0.10 11/27/2017
    - Updated Night Carvannah aesthetic features
    - Modified exterior tint and overlay effects
    - Added night-lighting to interior and exterior areas
    - Added firefly effects to exterior areas (and tents)!
    - Added fortune-teller’s tent (open at night)
    - Many daytime-only shops now close down at night
    - Added THE HALL (night building)
    - Combat Trials!
    - Prizes!
    - Extremely complicated eventing! D:
    - FINALLY solved AI issue: enemies will correctly prioritize HP-dependant abilities now!
    - Fixed a number of battles
    - Tweaked a few enemies
    - Many miners have new dialogue after The Hall challenges are completed
    - Contextualized nighttime dialogue for more Carvannah citizens
    - Contextualized boat-search dialogue for a few more citizens
    - Finder Encountered (brief scene)
    - Added new restorative items and equipment
    - Started working on revising cooking fires

Weekly Build v0.17!

Hi everyone, we've been working on a lot of stuff that isn't quite ready to show off with this build, including the entire overworld (which is very big) and some art pieces/new systems, so this release will seem small in comparison.

As for what, PRECISELY, is coming up... let's just say Moon's got a new potion to try out:

https://t.co/uUwBID9liQ

Here are the notes for version 0.17. Hope you guys like the changes and improvements.

Witchdale also has a long way to go, but we're putting the pieces in place, and we're excited to see where it all takes us. Hopefully everyone digs what we've got in place so far. A lot of the last couple of weeks has been preparatory work, but we're still making sure to sneak in some interesting new content every week.

  • Slightly reduced Witchdale Hornet*s AGI
  • Added an option to skip all the cliffs/caves once the player reaches a checkpoint in Witchdale
  • Added Moon Lee to the ship
  • Put Gertrude/Vincent and Elijah below-deck and everyone else in town after reaching Witchdale
  • Added a new optional quest and NSFW scene!
