Chapter 2 Now Available!

Chapter 2 of Broken Chains is now available! Bethea's bondage-filled odyssey continues as she seeks out an ancient magical artifact, coming into contact with a mysterious scoundrel and aggressive monsters. Danger lurks in the darkness as the goddess races to keep ancient power from being unleashed to devastating effect.

There's a new Day/Night "system," the text/background colors change between scenes that take place at night and those that take place during the day to hopefully help add a little more ambience. If you find a scene that you think has the wrong background, please point it out in the official inconsistency thread so that I can fix it: https://itch.io/t/651072/official-inconsistency-thread

Chapter 2 is longer than Chapter 1 by a fair bit. Chapter 1 was just under 30k words, and Chapter 2 is right around 40k. (Official word count for the full project is currently sitting at 76,020, however some of that is behind the scenes organizational stuff or copied text between passages that cover some of the same ground, so I'm not counting a portion of that.) Chapter 2 feels a little more linear than Chapter 1 overall, but I think that's because there are quite a few branching paths determined by decisions from Chapter 1 or earlier in Chapter 2 rather than choices the player gets to make outright. I don't have an exact chapter count in mind just yet, but I'm thinking about working on a couple of smaller chapters so that I can get them finished a little quicker.

As always I'd love to hear what people think or any feedback they have that could help me improve the story~
