Rivers of Astrum [v0.0.1] By Paper Tiger

Paper Tiger Games released a new game called Rivers of Astrum and the version is 0.0.1. The game’s story is about Our tale begins with Kimberly Ashmore, in the pirate-run town of Cliffperch. Orphaned by her parents at the age of three, she was dumped on the streets of this island slum. To this day she does not know why, nor does she know what became of her mother and father. As a result of her environment, she spent her youth learning to exist in the dark alleys and blind corners of the world. Always seeing. Never seen.

Through practice and necessity, she learned the arts of stealth, sleight-of-hand, and pickpocketing in order to put food in her stomach.” The guard has a permanent bounty on her persona, but not a single victim has ever caught her in the act. With no face to place on the wanted posters, the town simply began to refer to her as ”The Umbral Hand”. The bounty stands today at seven thousand Kartisian Crowns. Her mastery of the scoundrel’s ways has allowed her to survive and thrive in a world where she was neither noticed nor wanted. She had always told herself that she would stop thieving once she had “enough, but it turned out to be an exercise in frustration to attempt to live life within the expectations of society. Living within the rules just felt so needlessly tedious. In her mind, it made no sense to spend your entire life working to obtain something the “proper way”, when you can simply steal it in one night. Only a massive windfall of wealth would make a “normal” life worth living. To that end, she always keeps her ear to the ground for the next rumor.

The next big score. There is an information network that spans the length of the city. Dubbed the Well of Whispers”, it provides information of all sorts, for any able to pay for it. And the Well had recently provided Kim with a potential motherlode. The talk on the street is that of a treasure beyond worth… sunken just off the coast in a vicious storm. If the rumors are true, then it is the kind of treasure that makes fortunes and establishes generational It is a long walk to the beaches of the Queen’s Coast – where the shipwreck is said to have occurred – and she wakes now to prepare for the journey.

Game Version Changelog:

v0.0.1

• Content Filters added. All content can now be toggled on/off as desired. (PLEASE make use of this!)
• Overhauled the demo content to fit into the content filters.
• Overhauled 80% of the demo renders, and included several more choice-based branches in H scenes.
• Character Screen added. (It’s pretty barebones for now, but will be built up more in future update)
• Voice Acting added. The three main characters are now fully voiced:

• I leave it up to the Voice Actors as to what they’re comfortable voicing. Any NSFW scenes they choose not to voice, I attempted to fill with stock sounds.

• Pseudo Animations added. *All* of these are place holders intended to provide a simulated animation until such time as full 60 fps animations are added. For now, they’re simply some frames blended with transitions, but for what they are I think they’re quite good

v0.0.1a

• Initial Release
• The demo currently consists of approximately one hour of gameplay.
• There are some known issues with the UI that are still being addressed …
• primarily with the start screen and the location of the text buttons.
• Outside of that, any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Developer Notes:

Work is ongoing, and virtually never-ending.
