Synopsis:

 

Spoiler

Shadows Over Solomon Falls is set in the small town of Solomon Falls. You play newly arrived Rachel Nash (you can change the name) or a male (though if you start as a man you become a woman.) A teenage girl named Lisa Patterson has gone missing and you received a letter in the mail about it along with her photo. You've come to town to investigate but quickly discover that things are not as they seem in this town and you are now trapped. Between your haunted dreams, a talking crow, a roaming murderer and the sometimes odd townsfolk you hope you can figure it out on time! On top of that, the town is growing more corrupt and you too are experiencing new feelings you're not sure how to describe!

Current Version Changelog:
 

Spoiler

Version 0.2.1

The word count is now around 108.000 words!

Bug fixes:

• Fixed a bug that could cause the days to advance by 2 if you stayed out too late. Reset the day to the correct day should this bug have happened to a player.
• Fixed a bug with the last dream that didn't properly advance the player to the next dream.
• Fixed a bug that caused the date reminders for Mark and the Jill to never show..

 

Tweaks: 

• New way of doing skill checks makes it much easier for me. Special thanks to Scyne!
• Inventory and Notebook pop up in their own dialogue boxes now. This fixes an issue where a player might explore them then get stuck with no way back to their original page.
• I did some streamlining of events. This won't impact the players but makes it easier for me to add news one and makes things less cluttered.
• I've added some code that should remove the chance that your first meeting with a character is interupted by your character deciding she needs sleep.

 

New content:

• New secret from Carlo!
• Breakfast scenes added in! New scene with Sean at breakfast if you also ran into him during a meal in the B&B!
• New dream!
• New job content! The Mayor's content changes based on your interactions with Ray!
• All new location replaces an old location! Creepy!
• You can get addicted to drugs if you're on the undercover job!
• First date with Mark!

until the following week of work.

When you first visit the Patterson house you now have a chance to visit Lisa's room and learn 3 more secrets!

Added hints to the Main Square on the first day to help new players.

New interaction after work with Mark, Anya and Amber!

New date possible with Mark, Anya or Amber!

Tweaks:

Character creation has been changed to be more narrative in nature and engaging.

The first day in town has been changed quite a bit. Dialogues have been cleaned up and many of the renders have been redone. Janice now has a secret to learn among other

changes and in general the early game pushes the theme of the game better with the unsettling supernatural elements being more obvious. It now pushes you to meet Amber and

Lisa's parents before it opens up into the sandbox. This is to make sure players have met them and to keep the early game more focused.

Many renders have been redone. All characters have had their skin and eyes tweaked to look better. Lighting is generally improved in many of the renders.

I tweaked the skin and eye settings on all characters. I also redid every single picture that comes up when a character is talking.

I made it harder to steal the key from the Patterson's home. This is because you could, with the right stats, automatically succeed in stealing the key and have no

chance to get the blackmail route.<br>

If you decide not to pay for a secret with Carlo (with sex or money!) he now allows you to try for the same secret again if you visit him the next day instead of it being lost for

all time.

Masterbation now goes to its own screen instead of embedding in the bedroom screen. It also has all new renders!

It is no longer possible to fail to get inside the Patterson home as this task is too important.

Ray's blackmail now happens on the same day you meet him if it happens.

Jill's date now happens on the day after you meet her. This allows you to have an event each night through Thursday if you meet her on the first day.

The transgender dream sequence has been expanded! It's not a bit more horrific and lasts longer, showing the changes in more detail!

Mark's date has had an expansion. You now have the chance to ask him several more questions about Lisa and learn new secrets!

The roll to resist drug addiction is now based on willpower, not athletics and it lowers willpower.

 

 

Bug fixes:

Mayor's missing job event for Thursday added!

Many, many bug fixes from broken secrets to broken pictures and more.

May spelling and grammar fixes.

Deputy Lucas Parker has been in the notebook as Deputy Lucas Bryant all this time! Fixed!
