Changeling Tale v1.0.2 is LIVE


Today we are excited to release Changeling Tale version 1.0.2 on PC, Mac & Linux! An update to Android will follow a little later this month.

Remember, if you downloaded the game via Itch.io and do not use the Itch client, you will need to download Changeling Tale again to play this most current version (don't worry, no game data will be lost!). Those who activated the game in the Itch client will receive updates automatically.

This patch includes updated art for Grace's Chapters 4 & 5 (the handful of flat colored assets that remained at launch are now fully rendered) as well as some bug fixes and refinements, big and small. Thanks to all the players who have provided us feedback and helped us identify areas for improvement!

Big bug fixes include the ability to unlock the "Slurp" achievement once more (yay!), and calculations now correctly letting players reach 100% story completion. That means the final Baird's entry can now be unlocked!


A full list of fixes and improvements follow:

IMPROVEMENTS

  • The remaining Grace assets have been fully rendered
  • In the reset interface, added quotation marks around "forget" to highlight the word
  • Improved Easter Egg back end calculations
  • Added some fidelity to The Mischievous Fish song
  • Fixed some later images in Jessie's slideshow credits
  • Split Fae Nobility onto their own page in the credits
  • Hid the text box window at several appropriate points

BUG FIXES

  • "Slurp" Achievement can now be activated
  • 100% Story Completion is now reachable
  • The correct version of Marion's ending now correctly plays on replay from the Story Branches (will need to speed through each variant again from scene 11 to unlock the ending replays - use "ctrl" or the skip button to go fast!)
  • Fixed Grace's final embrace scene to correctly point to her chest file
  • Malcolm's nightmare secret after completing all three stories now displays correctly
  • Baird's table of contents now correctly shows "Pixie" when the entry is still locked
  • Bonus scene background is now the correct size
  • Corrected an issue in Marion's Chapter 4 that might make scene 11 play out incorrectly
  • Marion's second sprite slideshow now unlocks at the beginning of Chapter 3 instead of the end of Chapter 2
  • Jessie's 1st form, 11th style now correctly displays as an underlay instead of an overlay
  • Marion's 3rd form, 5th style no longer allows using the arrow to advance nonexistent expressions
  • Trimmed several lines overflowing the expression buttons
  • Missing image on Grace's 4th form, 2nd and 4th styles removed
  • Malcolm's facts page now correctly skips his werewolf form when cycling back from his other transformed form without having played Jessie's Chapter 4
  • Grace's chest now shows during the coils scene when active
  • Reduced the number of times Marion's sprite was called in the barn to smooth the tail animation

WRITING

  • No longer refer to Alana's fingers as gloved, or her dress as having lapels
  • Reworded some bucket language for consistency
  • Added more unique boat name responses
  • Corrected several typos and grammar mistakes in the narrative

As always, please let us know here or on Discord if you encounter any issues while playing Changeling Tale. We also love your feedback, and encourage you to leave a review if you haven't already! We read every one-- they mean a lot to us!

We plan one more major patch of fixes and improvements, after which we'll shift gears back to creating new story content for the game. Thanks so much for playing Changeling Tale!

Okay so, after the update I'm still at 99% story completion despite having gotten all endings of all routes, so I'm not sure what to do.
I did manage to get the "Slurp!" achievement, but I cannot trigger the nightmare secret no matter what I try.

The nightmare secret is triggered after getting a final chapter epilogue ending for each romance, it will show up on the 4th play-through on NSFW mode, and you might miss it if you aren’t paying attention (it’s only one very short altered section of the scene, a minor sprite edit and a remark by Grace).

If you are stuck at 99% there was a bug that was preventing the Marion endings from “counting” in the percentage and you will have to run through them again real quick on skip (you can select the final chapter from each ending branch). If that isn’t it, you may be missing a Jessie ending credit (had the same issue early in release) - or the likely culprit is one of the Grace dates or Marion being hidden scenes when Alana comes to visit. You have to experience all 3 of both of those and they count for completion.

Heya, sorry for the super late reply.

So, I did what you've said - Redid all endings for all 3 girls, gone through all Grace dates and hidden Marion scenes. And I still can't get past 99%.

I also still can't trigger the Nightmare Secret either. I've restarted the game multiple times and didn't see it, despite having every ending unlocked.

As for why I took so long to answer - I started playing on Android, and moved my save file over to PC, and when I couldn't get to 100%, I figured it maybe could be something related to changing platforms, so I decided to wait for the Android release to get 1.02 to see if would allow me to 100% the game... guess that wasn't the case.

Hm, it’s weird, I’ve been able to 100% the game on the latest builds just fine - and I’ve confirmed with other people who have also been able to. If you’re missing 1% and you’re on the latest build then I can only think you’re actually missing something. Do you have all of the glossary entries unlocked? All of the scenes? Your tree is completely filled out?

When you said you redid the endings, you redid all 3 of the endings for both marion and jessie? Not just redoing one of them?

...

I'm actually blind.

I thought I had all Glossary entries unlocked. I remember going through them and checking them out one by one. Turns out, I am in fact missing one

The 3rd entry from the Moor. Got 1/2 unlocked on that one, all the rest are unlocked. I'm currently going through all of Jessie's choices that happen in this area to try and unlock it, if I understood correctly that's how it works.

The passage on the left is unlocked somewhere in Jessie chapter 4, and the large field on the right is unlocked when you do the both humans path in Jessie’s, I think.
