To get Ending 10 -- Spoiler β¬οΈ
When Sage asks you if you'll tether to him, say No -- but go through it as you would if you were romancing him (so stall and shout for Sage) -- you'll get End 10! There are some voice lines! But perhaps not as sweet as End 11.
This is so fun! I can't figure out how to be able to end up with sage at the end DX. I love the multiple endings. I've gotten 1,3,4,6,7,8, and 9 so far.
Yaaaaay I'm glad you're enjoying!! And congrats on Ending 3 LOL! π₯ fellow flirt like me ayeeee I'm just kidding.
It's a little trolly but to get Sage:
SPOILER β¬οΈ
You need to play through a new game after Agreeing to the Plan in a previous playthrough. So this would have to be at least your 3rd "new" playthrough. But please do utilize the Skip function! It'll help you jump past all you already saw and get to the romance segments with Sage!
Hello! The game is incredibly fascinating and I am looking forward to seeing the complete version of it. I would like to point out that I got this error message when I selected the "Stall" option when Male Lead 1 (keeping name out for the sake of anyone reading this who hasn't played the game yet):
"While running game code: File "renpy/common/000window.rpy", line 132, in _window_auto_callback _window_show(auto=True) File "renpy/common/000window.rpy", line 451, in _window_show FileNotFoundError: [Errno 44] No such file or directory: '//game/audio/voice/sage huh....mp3' The game exited unexpectedly. More information may be available in the browser console or contained in the log."
OMG!!!! THANK YOU!!!! you're the bomb, thank you so much for finding this bug! I had run into it myself but it only happens occasionally so I had trouble finding it again -- wasn't sure where exactly it was. Will fix this in a minor update tonight!!! π«‘
You can continue playing by rolling back, saving, and then refreshing your browser web page - that should fix it temporarily and allow you to continue playing! (You may also have to load an older save or an auto save, very sorry again for this)
Thank you so much for finding this again and playing our game, and so sorry for the inconvenience!
This was a fun ride! I enjoyed going through the different endings, both good and bad... except for two. How do I get ending 3 and 5??!!
I do feel kinda bad for Yasha though. Yeah, he's a psycho now, but he tried so hard to protect his love bond, the thing most important above all else to him, and ended up destroying it instead. ):
Thanks for making this game! I look forward to seeing what you'll do in the future!
Aww, thank you!β€οΈ I do think despite everything Yasha is a pretty sympathetic character.
Thanks so much for the ending tips! Ending 3 is now my favorite, and I refuse to believe it's not the canon end. I love that they could both be happy and get what they want, and I especially love the idea that they spend eternity dodging soup and getting crazier togetherπ
There is! π it's a little hard to see with the current Main Menu art (sorry, that's on me -- didnt have time to clarify/pretty it up before the jam ended -- but it's first on my to-do list π«‘) -- but there's an "Endings" tab on the Main Menu once you finish the game once! β€οΈ
Lol!!! I can definitely give you some spoilers if needed! π«‘ thank you so much for playing!!! π
We'll look to release an endings guide with the next major update! There will probably be a couple small updates in between to fix issues before that -- but I can definitely set up a guide sooner if there's high demand! Thank you so much again! β€οΈ
Thank youuuuuu ππππππππππ you are the ultimate playtester badass developer and I can't wait for you to finish Day 2 of all the gorgeous girls!!!! π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯
AAAAAA I'VE BEEN TRYING FOR ENDING 12 FOR AN HOUR!! I LOVE THIS GAME BUT I CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THE FINAL ENDING AND I'M GOING CRAZY SOMEONE GIVE ME A CHEAT SHEET PLEASEEE!!
I feel so bad! Ending 12 isn't too hard to get but you might be disappointed LOL. It's another bad ending (but it does have voice lines! So glad you like the game β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ)
spoilerβ¬οΈ
Don't ignore Yasha, but do play normally/mixed playthrough/don't be too nice/suspicious - taking one of the routes that takes you to the final Yasha confrontation.
When see Sage at the convenience store, choose Not to comfort Sage. Don't talk to him privately/in your room (or just don't agree to the plan) and don't text Sage.
Then when Yasha comes to your house, don't strangle him or stay calm -- just run to the subway.
If you try to Push Yasha from there, because you didn't strangle him to weaken him... ;-; you get Ending 12 haha.
Here is the CG sketch for it BTW! It is not in the build yet, so you're the first to see! π
I FINALLY GOT ALL ENDINGS RAHHHH THAT WAS A FUN RIDE, 10/10 experience, even with the lack of cgs I found myself completely engaged in the story , very excited for the full version<3
Thank you so much for getting all the endings, despite the current in-progress state!!! π«‘β€οΈπ₯ We hope to add more/actually rendered CGs in a fast follow!
God, I've been having an absolutely delightful time with this game! The ending where you get to rename Yasha is really giving us too much power... I keep giggling because he's going around introducing himself as "Fucker" now. XD
Adore both him and Sage~ Will be looking forward to the full version. ^_^
LMFAO AHAHAHAHA omg π€£π€£π€£ I also totally renamed him Poop when I was testing on my phone and then forgot about it... π when I came back to test again I was like "oh god what have I done" LOL
So glad you enjoyed!!! β¨οΈπ Thank you so much for playing and leaving a comment!!! π
Just added...! (I think!) -- you may have to search for it by URL within the app (https://bigmamafatcat.itch.io/bound-by-fate-cursed-soulmates) since it doesn't pop up in the search bar-- but I believe it should be working now! (Mac/Windows/Android in just a moment π«‘ )
If it's still not working, please let me know and I'll look deeper into it! Thank you so much for bringing to our attention! β€οΈ
OMG!!!! I AM SO SORRY!!! We will get this fixed ASAP!!! π«‘π«‘π«‘
UPDATE: Fixed! Many apologies for any feelings of unpleasantness or discomfort that may have arisen from that! π Thank you so much for playing! β€οΈ
(Note -- you may have to refresh your browser page (or re-download) in order to see the changes go into effect. Thank you so much for pointing this out!!)
Transmasc who also got caught by this. I'll admit I almost put the game down after that, but I changed names to a femme OC's name instead of my own, and powered through. I'm glad I did, because there are a few mentions of pregnancy scattered throughout. Not just in relation to MC's past lives, but some for the current life too. Add onto that some very feminine body language, and to me, this story was clearly written from the perspective of a cis woman.
While the desire to appeal to a wider audience with gender ambiguity is noble, I think fixing MC's gender would probably be a better fit for the story you're telling here.
That being said, once I did change the name and shook off the misgendering ick, I thoroughly enjoyed this. I got all 12 endings in 22 cycles.
I am so sorry about that! And thank you so much for still giving us a chance despite the unpleasantness. That was really gracious of you -- and I will definitely take the feedback into account and look to clarify the gender in future releases if it's obvious that the player character is coded a certain way.
I was probably hoping it could pass since I personally consume a lot of fantasy BL content that includes some topics with children and pregnancy -- but a lot of that is also targeted at cis women as the consumer.
Thank you so much for powering through our game, and giving the feedback to us straight -- I really can't express enough how much it means to me that you still gave us a chance despite the ick. ππ
I've added mentions of pregnancy and childbirth to the warnings above, and I'll tread more carefully in future releases! Many apologies and thank you again.
I just got all of the endings (finally, it took me a second to figure the last few out lol), and let me just say this game was so fun and interesting! I thought it was going to be your usual short visual novel at first, but the story and the whole idea of the cycles repeating and the ending choices leading to different results depending on the small past actions were super unique and its clear there was so much time and effort put into this vn. I really love how the information you learned carried over in the different cycles, and it made me feel like I was actually in the time loop of the story lol. The fact that you guys were able to make such an intricate story in only 30 days is beyond me, you all did a fantastic job with this!
Thank you SO MUCH for playing through every route!!! There are definitely some incomplete/rough patches in the current build but we are so grateful you played to completion and left such a sweet comment!!! πβ€οΈ We really appreciate you taking the time to leave your thoughts!!! πβ¨οΈπ
this is quite a unique game and definitely adding to my favorites! And i am shocked this was just completed in 30 days ahhh! makes you want to play more after completing it one time! the game play and characters, everything honestly, is amazing. i love it!! keep up the good work for you guys ! :D
Thank you so much for playing!! β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ Haha we're glad (and shocked) it was completed too! π We will be adding fixes/updates as time goes on, so we hope you play again at that time! π
So far I only got 7 endings, but omg so many variations! I love it! Can't wait to see this game progress even more. Yasha is so insane, but I love him. So far I haven't managed to get a truly good ending with him, but idk maybe I have to take a different route, but I kind of hope to get more "happy endings" with him in the future. Really enjoyed your game <3
Oh man!!! Thank you so much for wanting to romance Yasha!!! π’πβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ
There is (what I believe to be) a good ending currently in the game (you can get there early on cough though there is another way)
BUT much of his good route is still in progress (maybe facial expression complete today??) because not many people tried/knew how to romance him in testing... π₯²
I havent quite finished all the endings yet but im pretty deep in the game and i absolutely love it!!! gotta say i lost it when we called yasha pookie in bed though i was giggling.

Loved this game and I loved Yasha even though he's a freak <3 His va and expressions are lush, especially the scary ones!
I also love how replayable the game is- a wizard must have coded this! I got all the endings mwahahaha.
That is so so sweet of you to say!!! ππππππ and thank you SO MUCH for playing to completion!!! Woo!!! πππ
TOTALLY agree on Yasha's VA!! He's amazing (and also super young, what the heck!)
Here are 2 other games he's on, if you're addicted to his voice like I am! LOL

OMG!!!! ππππππππππ Thank you so much.... you understand him.....!!! ππππππππππππ
All he needs is for his soulmate to understand (and love him back).... I'm so glad you picked up on that. And you definitely need Ending 3!!!
I'll add a spoiler below! β¬οΈ
Ending 3:At the very beginning, select:
"Excitement"
"omg, thank you!"
invite him to coffee (sorry this part is not facial expression complete yet π)
"oh no he's crazy"
"but he's hot"
(and don't meet privately/comfort/text sage)
This leads to Ending 3! (Still in dev T-T will update shortly though!)
The idea was to be very proactive and flirty but also aware of the danger -- so your personality mirrors Yasha's.
For ending 5, try not feeding yasha the potion and giving him a hug at the end!
Aww, thank you!β€οΈ I do think despite everything Yasha is a pretty sympathetic character.
Thanks so much for the ending tips! Ending 3 is now my favorite, and I refuse to believe it's not the canon end. I love that they could both be happy and get what they want, and I especially love the idea that they spend eternity dodging soup and getting crazier togetherπ
Yay!!! Same!! ππβ€οΈ Ending 3 is canon in my mind too LOL. They're criminals of the Underworld together π
The one thing this game needs is a place to check what endings you've already gotten
There is! π it's a little hard to see with the current Main Menu art (sorry, that's on me -- didnt have time to clarify/pretty it up before the jam ended -- but it's first on my to-do list π«‘) -- but there's an "Endings" tab on the Main Menu once you finish the game once! β€οΈ
Thank you so much for playing!!
I love this! I adore time loop games but I know it must be harder to make than just a linear visual novel. Great job!
Side note I can't get ending 6 or 7 for the life of me, could someone help me out v.v
Thank you so much for playing, and for your kind words!! β€οΈ π
Lol!!! πππ I can definitely hook you up with spoilers if needed π«‘
To give you a hint (spoiler) β¬οΈ
After feeding Yasha the potion, once you get to the final confrontation, I recommend trying the option you've tried before to get End 5!
AHH I NEED A ENDINGS GUIDE :"(
Lol!!! I can definitely give you some spoilers if needed! π«‘ thank you so much for playing!!! π
We'll look to release an endings guide with the next major update! There will probably be a couple small updates in between to fix issues before that -- but I can definitely set up a guide sooner if there's high demand! Thank you so much again! β€οΈ
