That Time a Heart Attack Reincarnated Me as the Most Feared Demon Queen of the Dark Continent [v0.2.3 Alpha] [Velvet Weaver]
After dying from a heart attack, Gorou awakens inside the body of the most feared Demon Queen on the Dark Continent. Trapped in a dangerously powerful new body, he must survive the royal court, keep his true identity hidden from everyone who knew the real Queen, and somehow hold together a kingdom whose people are going dark one by one.

– Voices (preview): Act 1 can be heard in English, Chinese or Spanish. They start off: turn them on in Settings > Sound.
– The war’s Archdemons: buy Lira’s, Nyxara’s or Nemi’s card and drop a giant mid-battle who tears down walls and towers. Castles break apart piece by piece, and the battle, the table and the campaign have a new interface.
– Tiny’s games from your bed: slingshot, 3D chess (four levels; she cheats at the first three and T calls her out, at «Lore accurate» Stockfish plays with no tricks, and she comments on every game), slide and dive.
– In your bed: «Touch yourself» and «Use the dildo», with new animated scenes (RosalÃa sells the toy, 120 gold).
– Six date memories now move; Noa’s scene («Silence») and Nina’s brothel scene are redone with new clips; against Varrak, E turns the seal’s spark on his wolves; a lounger at the springs sometimes shows a preview of the next version.
– The village and the brothel talk about what happened in Act 1 and what the Queen does outside the castle.
– New: the Queen’s Agenda in the pause menu (today, deadlines, what’s under way, fast travel). The Ero status is redone (your first time, your lovers and sixteen counters).
– The mouse wheel in every conversation, as in Ren’Py: up goes back through the lines (even to before a choice) and replays the line’s voice, down moves on.
– Improved art: the dialogue sprites redone with native transparency (133 pictures of 16 characters, no white halos on dark backgrounds, same framing); the dates’ kisses and nights, the audience petitioners and the library memory redone in the game’s style; Mugo stands closer at the hot springs.
– Balance: dates cost gold (80 to 400 by day, 600 at night), the brothel takes two shifts a night, a shop favour on a lot takes one piece off, and goods from his own shelves sell back without haggling.
– Fixes: the gallery’s videos no longer stutter, Nemi’s nights no longer play too fast, going back to the title frees the memory.
– Every new text in all 15 languages; the in-game guide is updated.
v0.2.2 Alpha · QoL (quality of life, no new content)
– Skip in every conversation: hold Ctrl (or press S to keep it on); Tab skips the whole scene up to the next choice. Auto-advance with A. In Settings: skip everything or only what you have read.
– Shorter long scenes: 39 fewer text boxes in the first Council, the balcony, the corral and the hot springs’ and brothel’s welcomes.
– The Queen always runs (Shift to walk), and fast travel from the big map (M, then a number) takes you to the places you already know.
– Sleep elsewhere: a room at the brothel (RosalÃa, 40 gold) or at the tavern (Barnabás, 15 gold).
– The mine: B at the mouth takes you straight down to your last sanctuary.
– Gallery: seeing one shot opens the whole scene, progress by character, and the gallery is in the pause menu too.
– Clean cutouts on 233 character pictures (no white halos), and the shopkeeper’s extra arm is gone.
– Everything in all 15 languages; the in-game guide is updated.
v0.2.2 Alpha · hotfix 2
– Fixed: the war campaign was lost when you loaded a save or continued; it now comes back as you left it. Saves made while it was running bring it back.
– Fixed: loading also keeps the brothel’s open rope and the place you were inside (brothel, baths, tavern, the Peñascal).
v0.2.2 Alpha · hotfix 1
– Fixed: in the mage’s shell game, emptying his box before the end left the scene looping; the closing card now comes on its own.
– Fixed: the smelling salts and the Amulet of the Closed Eye now say what they do in the shell game.
– Fixed: a few texts (the guide, the mine’s champions, some court lines), and the closing card’s summary line no longer runs off the card.
v0.2.2 Alpha
– The Golden Boar tavern opens in the village: Barnabás hires you as a waitress.
– The waitress shift: take orders, fill the tray at the bar, carve the roast, pick up the tips; a loaded tray wobbles if you run, and tables left waiting get angry.
– Barnabás’s list at the bar: you decide what the customers may do; each thing you allow raises the wage and brings its moments and one scene a night, with animated clips. At closing he pays you and talks over the night.
– The stage: three nights of dancing with TobÃas on the lute and a coin minigame.
– The waitress uniform in the castle wardrobe (no extra art or scenes for it outside the tavern yet); the tavern’s people talk with their portraits.
– The forest mage’s new “Shell Game”: find the pearl and he pays you, miss it and he collects. In the bikini it has its own scenes.
– A new game can skip the prologue (recommended): you start in the castle and Tiny tells you the basics.
– Fixes: dialogue reviewed across the game, a court scene no longer runs into the next one, smoother animation loops, the title’s background no longer freezes, ten useless shop items removed, spelling checked.
– Every new text in all 15 languages.
v0.2.1 Alpha · hotfix 1
– Fixed: the shifts at the brothel crashed the game (their videos were missing from the package).
– Fixed: the war’s troops were invisible in battle, and the campaign map had no towns or castles.
v0.2.1 Alpha
– The Queen’s court: audiences at the throne, works to restore, the armoury, the barracks, the library, the bath and nights in the alcove.
– Dates on the great hall’s sofas: five dates each with Lira, Nyxara and Nemi, with their memories in the gallery.
– Caresses on the red divan with the girls who have had two dates with the Queen (Lira, Nyxara, Nemi).
– Lessons with Nyxara in the chamber of the seal, and a while with her every day to raise her affection.
– The war: a new campaign map with 26 battlefields, sieges to attack and defend, relics and the Queen’s powers, food bought with gold.
– Varrak fight 2.0 with quick events.
– Mine 2.0, made by hand: skeletons that really fight, seven champions, the living Heart, loot and streaks. Losing to a champion has its own scene.
– The Miner’s Shaft and the Shopkeeper at the Mine Mouth (sell ore, buy picks and sacks).
– The brothel: RosalÃa’s desk (R), loans with debt, and “To the Queen’s Beat”, the house’s shifts with four clients.
– The hot springs’ private room (rented for one bath) and “The Knothole”; the forest mage’s scene. Both scenes change their lines when you come back.
– Saves: 30 slots, each card says where you are, the day and your gold; saves can be deleted; they take about 40 times less space. Older saves still load.
– The 3D world loads about 3 seconds faster.
– Fixes: Tiny’s lines in every language, better CJK line breaks, a new campaign no longer inherits the old turn, nobody gets trapped in the mine, the war table’s guide and Nemi in the arena answer F, war conversations no longer run into the map.
– Every new text in all 15 languages, and the translations reviewed line by line: the mine’s rooms have their names, and every character keeps the right gender.
v0.2.0 hotfix 1
– Tiny now appears and speaks in the council and balcony scenes in every language (before, only in Spanish).
– The mouse works in 3D conversations: click to go on, hover and click to pick an answer. The wardrobe works with the mouse too.
– Japanese and Chinese lines no longer start with a comma or a full stop.
– Your v0.2.0 saves keep working.
v0.2.0 Alpha (full remake of v0.1)
– Rewritten prologue, with Tiny, the Queen’s guide, alive in 3D inside the visual novel.
– Act I “The Spark That Fades”: council decisions, training with Nemi, the attack on the village and the boss, Varrak, in a first-person fight.
– 3D world to explore: the castle (two floors), the forest, the village, the hot springs, the brothel, the mine (procedural dungeon) and The Crag.
– Missions with a GPS-style guide (J switches the active mission) and maps of every place.
– Brothel: night visits with interactive scenes and minigames (Alba, Noa) and an elixir that unlocks extra scenes.
– Shop with haggling (buying and selling) and 11 spicy favours.
– The forest mage’s minigame; photo spots with Mugo at the hot springs.
– Grid backpack, equipment, cures and sword fusions.
– Gallery, menus, a guide on the title screen and an end-of-update thanks screen.
– 15 languages, translated in full (signs and pictures included); the game starts in your Windows language.
– Native-resolution rendering, graphics presets, FSR, anti-aliasing and sharpening.
– Save slots that keep everything: position, backpack, gold, missions, the mine.
