IM IN LOVE! I just finished the demo and bought the full version! Even with just the demo I'm already so hooked! Everything is so well written and I fell in love with all the characters! (especially Cyril hehe) I'm so excited to read the full version now, thank you for making such a masterpiece!! <3
I am literally writing this at 5am after staying awake, obsessed and entranced by this game, playing it on this site, only to reach the end of the demo, then be shocked (in a good way) that all of that amazing content was only a taste?!
I am now in a state of conflict on whether to remain awake to continue playing the full version I just purchased, or to have a refresher sleep before diving back into Arcadie.
I bought this and it was absolutely worth it. I was so invested with not only the romance aspect but also the story line of how we build ourselves as a character. I know the sequel are in the works, but absolutely cannot wait for it come out <3
Hi! I just finished the demo and I absolutely loved it. How much longer is the full game? I'm so immersed in this story already and I plan to buy it once I'm able.
Hi, I'm from Brazil and I'd like to buy it on my phone, but it is not available for my country at Google play store. Is there any way I can get the game?
I loved playing this so much, whole demo made me forget about the world around me instantly and I had to buy full version on Steam. One of the best works on itch.io, no doubt and I would eagerly spend my money on any game you would release in future. Thank you for your work!
that was brilliant, way more than i ever expected. i'm in a loss of words.
it's a micro-scale game of thrones where you can mold your character's ideals, political inclinations, feelings and appearance to your liking, making them act exactly how you want them to, all while they still overflow with personality. the story is well-written, intriguing and engaging as hell, the choices have true consequences, the characters are interesting and the politics are believable!
it was particularly interesting for me to play, since our main character is a prince, born from a tyrant lineage, and i'm a literal socialist – if i was living this conflict, i most probably would've wanted the prince's head myself.
so, to make the most of my playthrough, i made my character very attached to his family, specially his dad and sister; a lover of politics and knowledge; not so good at fighting; an "idealist", as the game would call; and in love with the guy whose ideals were the opposite of his ♡. i wanted him to be at a constant conflict between grief, revenge and empathy, understanding and even agreeing with the other side, while also being pushed by his pain and his love for his sister to want to support her and regain power. i also made him a whore, but that's not the point.
as you can see, "making most of my playthrough" means making it the more chaotic and hard i could, lol.
and the game allowed me to do all of that!!!!!! the amount of work the devs must've put into the game for this to work, goddammit!
i have way more to say, but i'll leave it here and dwell into spoilers later – like, i loved this game sm, i HAVE to talk about it! it's a primal need!!! the thing is already 7 hours long and i wish it was even bigger!
for now, i'll be replaying the game, changing my character's personality and goals, making everything lesbian instead of gay and watching the chaos unfold <3
Maybe you get this a lot, are you working on a part two of Arcadie: Second-born? From what I remember it seemed like you'd set the ending up for a second story?
I'm not sure how to answer that, to be honest. It varies depending on the choices you make, the path you take, your reading speed, whether you take your time or fly through it...
It isn't the longest of games, though, if that's what you're asking. I wanted to tell a tightly paced story, with no fluff or extraneous subplots. Only you can tell if that would be to your taste or not.
read thru the demo kinda quick and this is probs the fastest I have ever decided to buy something. I'm gonna finish this later when I have the attention span to enjoy the full thing properly
i bought the game a little over a year ago, best visual novel type thing i've ever played, all i want is more worldbuilding, always love more of that thing, even though it's probably awful to make.
Bought the game on steam, got about 2 hours of play time and now the game won't load 😭 just creates a blank window. Tried uninstalling and re installing, everything's up to date. Any suggestions???
That's strange, the blank window thing happens either on old Windows versions or if your anti virus decides to block the game. Have you tried uninstalling, restarting your PC, then reinstalling? Disable your anti virus to be safe.
If it still doesn't work, please ask for a refund through Steam.
I really enjoyed playing this, great story and writing, amazing characters. It was worth the spend.
One question I have about the story though, what happens to the Arcadie bloodline if you choose to romance someone the same gender as you?
If you 'adopted' then they wouldn't have the royal Arcadie blood and would have trouble handling your family's artifacts, or potentially having the Gift. On the other hand, I doubt your chosen RO would very much appreciate if you had an heir by 'other means'. Even if they let you, wouldn't that child be illegitimate? I suppose royalty could have the power to legitimise whoever they wanted, or does that not matter in this story?
Anyway, sorry for the slight tangent. The thought came across my mind and was bothering me ever since.
Like I said before, this is a great game and I had a lot of fun playing it. You did a great job, and thank you!
I played the full game recently and absolutely loved it, I felt interested in the story and characters, found myself liking Cyril in particular, it felt like they actually cared for my character as a person and not just because they were royalty, all in all I enjoyed the game and hope there will be a sequel to it!
I played this game before the release on steam and I just finished the full release last night. I have to say I hadn't expected it to be as long as it was, it took me like six hours to finish. It was also very good, I have played a lot of if's and this is probably in my top ten. Good job!
Thank you very much for the release in Steam! And also thank you for this wonderful story! I really want to continue to reveal even more lore, further continuation of the relationship with the chosen RO and, in principle, Gift info! :D
hello! I was just wondering, is there any way to purchase the full game on mobile? My laptop was sent in for repairs and won't be available until after Christmas, but I cannot wait any longer to play the game. Even though it is just 4 days.

The dialogues didn't seem forced at all. In fact, it felt alive. I love the interaction between characters!

If not that's cool, awesome story nonetheless.
Hello!
Arcadie: Second-Born was written as a standalone, but I have started working on a sequel. If you like, you can follow my progress on my blog.
is there any chance of this game becoming available on the apple play store? Great game and hope you continue to make amazing works of art like this!
Hello and thank you! :)
I don't plan on publishing the game on the App Store for the time being (I'd need to purchase a Mac, among other drawbacks).
Your novel and some of the other lgbt Novels inspired me to write a new book or maybe two 😊 please write more. Your novel is my favorite 😊
Thank you so much! Good luck with your novel! :)
Are there/ will there be plans for a sequel?
Also, to anyone else reading, the full version is completely worth it.
I agree. Just finished playing the full version. It was an amazing experience, and I too wish for it to have a sequel.
I three wish for it to have a sequel!
How long would you say a single play through would take of the full game?
I'm not sure how to answer that, to be honest. It varies depending on the choices you make, the path you take, your reading speed, whether you take your time or fly through it...
It isn't the longest of games, though, if that's what you're asking. I wanted to tell a tightly paced story, with no fluff or extraneous subplots. Only you can tell if that would be to your taste or not.
Personally, my first full run took around 4 to 5 ish hours, but I have a fast reading speed, so it could be a bit slower for others.
How much more content does the full version bring?
Hello,
The demo contains abount 30% of the full game's word count.
i definitely say its worth it!
please I’m begging you, add the full version.
Hello, the full version is available on Steam and Google Play.
Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2196980/Arcadie_SecondBorn/
Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.arcadieutopie.arcadiesecondbor...
Definitely a very fun and enjoyable game, I hope you are taking your time with a sequel because this was a masterpiece
Finally tried this out and thoroughly enjoyed it! Can't decide which one was my fav, but would love for N to be an option too. 😅
read thru the demo kinda quick and this is probs the fastest I have ever decided to buy something. I'm gonna finish this later when I have the attention span to enjoy the full thing properly
10/10 😁
Didn't finish the full version but i can say i cried in some parts
I love it! Though I find it funny on how my name is Elsie and Cyril's sister's name is Elise. XD
Aha that must be confusing at times 😂
i bought the game a little over a year ago, best visual novel type thing i've ever played, all i want is more worldbuilding, always love more of that thing, even though it's probably awful to make.
PLEASE MAKE A FULL VERSION OF THIS PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

Hello! No, not yet. Merry Christmas in advance :)
Is it possible to purchase through itch or only Steam?
