[Dialogue/Sound Issues]
Did the text of a line not line up with the voiceover? Was a line quieter than it should be? Please report here and we'll get it fixed as soon as possible!

[[EDIT: Yeah, that seems like an intended feature now, lol. Nevermind!]]

I'm noticing some dialogue options that seem like they should be separate, but are appearing to be one selectable option all together. I'm on the Stranger route, threw out the knife, went down the soft stairs, and have gone through 3 dialogue selections with the princess so far. The dialogue options "I'm getting you out of here", "I can't trust you", and [Regret about throwing the knife] are all one option yet they have separate dots in the list.

I'd suggest trying to click one :)

On my play through last night I noticed several times that some lines of dialog were at a significantly lower volume than the previous. As the line was being read the volume would continue to dip until sometimes the end of the dialog was inaudible. The next block of dialog would be fine and back to normal.
Great game by the way.

If you could report those lines here, that'd help. We have to manually find and adjust the levels for those files (for whatever reason there's a smattering of voice lines that don't respond well to normalization)

But once I know what lines to boost, it's pretty easy to fix 'em ^^

Do you need the specific location of the lines or can we just post the line itself?
I'll give both for now. In chapter 1, if you enter without the knife and tell her you're supposed to kill her, her line after you explain that you're not joking is a little quieter than the lines around it. "I-is that why they threw me down here? But I don't want to hurt anyone. I like the world! I think."

Just the line and chapter's plenty good, thank you!

Is the volume of the dialogue supposed to sharply change? I get sometimes a voice is meant to be louder than usual, but in some cases like in the final confrontation some dialogue volume jumps way louder than the rest and it's a smidge annoying to have to keep changing the volume level so I can hear the quiet parts but not have my ears hurt by the loud parts.

I would prefer all the dialogue be at a consistent volume.

Hey there! If you can share specific lines that are too loud for you, please let me know and I can adjust them down! — different voices responded to equalization/normalization differently, so still trying to work towards getting the mix perfect (hence this specific thread)

I realise a typo isn't much of a dialogue issue, but immediately after opening the door to the basement in "Chapter II: The Stranger" there's an instance of "indiscernable" which really ought to be "indiscernible". (The former spelling is only correct if you're French.)

Thank you, will get this fixed for the next build!

That will be difficult because there are a lot of them, but I can try to name a few off hand. Unforuntately, due to how many and how several lines in a row in a given scene can have this issue, the best I can offer right now is naming the particular scene.

The Tower - Princesses booming voice is a bit too booming in pretty much all her lines.

The Shifting Mound - voice can vary a lot throughout the scene, but whenever she calls up another princess and there's a cut to a different shot, her lines are especially loud.

Apologies I can't be more specific than that at this time as I don't have a convenient save to go over them all.

That's okay - I'll do a more thorough combthrough of those scenes in the next week. Thanks for letting me know!

Onchapter 2 "The Witch",the line"Sigh. We're never going to make something of ourselves with that attitude."seems to be entirely silent.

I can now also add The Wild (I hope I have the name right) when reaching there from the Witch route. I did the Witch route and attempted to leave the cabin and got crushed. During The Wild, whenever the Princess gets hostile and says not to look, those lines are noticbly louder than the rest of the scene.

Hope this helps!
