Hello, it's my tremendous pleasure to announce the release of Episode 15, my love letter to Naruto and all fans of ninjas! The poster is made by the super-talented Azamuku-chan

What to expect in Episode 15?

Dual Protagonist approach:

This game takes place in a fantasy setting ruled by ninjas, shinobis, and their lackeys. Brandon and Cissy start their training in the local village, but they separate as one of them is tempted to join an evil faction!

Each of them will have their own misadventures as the player will take turns playing as both. They’ll be learning from different masters and the clans will constantly coming into contact as the player decides which faction is eventually victorious.

Remember, Cissy’s mild-mannered mentor might be a ferocious foe when Brandon encounters them!

The previous game had a ton of lees and a ton of party members (7!) but I wanted more returning characters, characters who would stick around beyond their initial introductory scene, so this game has a (slightly) smaller cast of characters, but many of them are tickled more than once!

You can see the Replay Centre for more information:

There are also 18 Full-length, multiple choice tickle scenes! Each one is usually 2000-4000 words, a mini-story in itself! And I’ve tried to be very creative and innovative with some unique scenarios, so I hope you enjoy

Turn-based Combat system with a variety of skills that you can learn from your ninja mentors with a variety of enemies (mostly the other ninjas).

Open World returns! The different factions will have different areas to access, but I’ve tried to give the player more freedom in how and when they approach certain quests.

Light Base Customisation returns! After each quest, upon your return to your cabin, there will be a memento of your adventures, with there sometimes being the opportunity to customise what memento you will receive.

Personally, music is always really important for me, and I really like it when characters have their own musical themes, so in this one, every main character has their own leitmotif that I think reflects their personality and role in the story well!

And more!

I'm really not enjoying the newer episodes, it's been tedious to play ever since RPG combat was added, I liked the earlier episodes where I could just enjoy the scenes without annoying battles and blind gameovers.

Thank you for the feedback! I know some people don't play it for that sort of gameplay, so I just want to remind you that you can set the combat speed to 'fastest' and turn on 'autobattle' if you want to skip the battles. That's actually what I do when testing, and it's enough to win battles 90% of the time. Battles are just there for flavour.

But yeah, I appreciate you voicing your concerns. I'll keep that in mind for future games and try to cut down on the battles or make more of them optional.
