Endings Guide + Development Schedule

Thank you so much for all your love and support for Bound By Fate ~ Cursed Soulmates ~ !
We were so humbled and overwhelmed by all the positive responses, as well as everyone's great feedback and ideas.

Although I've included some Desktop UI improvements in the most recent build of the game, there is still a lot to clean up in terms of Facial Expressions, Mobile UI Improvements, and (of course) CGs for the final release. (The final game will include 15 CGs + α)

We plan to release the full version on October 1st, 2025. Our Development Schedule (tentative) is as follows!

 We have a new game Demo for Blossom Jam, which ends on May 15th! We may release half for Blossom Jam, and the other half + improvements for Otome Jam. This one is not horror themed, but it will feature:

• A customizable player character! (Femme option for Blossom, Masc option to follow in Otome/Josei Jam update)
• 4 potential love interests! 💖
• 3 - 4 mini-games 🎯 (with auto-complete options if you just want to enjoy the romance!) 
• Partial voice acting! 🔊 (Hoping to get it in for Blossom!)

===============================

Last but not least, here is the Endings Guide!
I highly recommend using the Skip function to enjoy the game without rereading a ton! 🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️

1. Ending 1: Ignore Yasha via text or fail a timer!
2. Ending 2: Go to the convenience store with Yasha in the beginning and select "children sound lovely" - then in your text messages with him later, accept him easily. You should know you're on the right path if after the 2nd time in the convenience store, the player character says, "you're scaring me... I wouldn't betray you" etc. Warnings should appear for Ending 2!
3. Ending 3: In the beginning, don't block the profile, and answer "Excitement" and "omg, thank you!" Invite Yasha to coffee and answer "oh no he's crazy" "but he's hot". It should take you down the romance route! At the very end, choose to prioritize Yasha over work. I have just added a secret sexy CG here! (JK it's not that sexy)
4. Ending 4: In a new run after you've met Sage in a previous run (so this will be at least your 3rd "new" run), RUN to the convenience store and Yasha will follow 😔
5. Ending 5: In a run you haven't given Yasha the potion in but were reasonably nice to him (maybe the same run as your run for Ending 3, but choose work instead of Yasha and succeed in the timer), choose to Embrace Yasha at the final confrontation
6. Ending 6: In a run you've given Yasha the potion and the Embrace option appears, Embrace him but answer "I'm nobody"
7. Ending 7: (same run as above but answer "I'm....")
8. Ending 8: In the final confrontation, Stall Yasha and get on the train! (This ending needs a revamp... will see what fun things we can add in October ✨)
9. Ending 9: Grab any weapon and then push Yasha at the final confrontation!
10. Ending 10: Romance Sage - this must be your 3rd "new" run (or any run after the run you first "met" Sage in, when you talk to him in your apartment). Sage will kind of approach you -- you just have to agree to him when he visits you with the potion 😉 (and at the end, Stall and Shout for Sage)
11. Ending 11: Don't romance Sage -- Agreeing to the Plan and not romancing him (not agreeing to tether to him) OR if it's only your 2nd run/the first run that you've "met" Sage (and at the end, Stall and Shout for Sage)
12. Ending 12: In a run where you didn't romance Sage, when Yasha is about to chase you to your place, run from the house (instead of staying calm or grabbing a weapon) and then try to push Yasha off the platform.

If anyone needs more details on how to get a specific ending, drop a comment and I'll come running! 🫡

================================

Thank you all so much again for your patience, support, and love for Bound By Fate! We hope you enjoy our future projects just as much.

We couldn't have done it without you all!
