There’s something so hypnotic about the way the smoke swirls in the sun. Hope everyone’s having a great day!

This job literally lists religious affiliation as disqualifying you from the job? I get scientologists are freaks, but isn't this completely illegal? Who can I call?

They say that in some histories, moth milk is a standard supermarket commodity, freely available for purchase at your neighborhood Omega Mart.

TLDR: If you are interested in supporting this project, the single most helpful thing you can do is leave a review to give us juice ahead of Next Fest in June. We are releasing this early alpha to prove we can make a game at all. There will be bugs.

Hello, everyone!

We (Common Logic) are developing a fan-game under the Sixth History Community License called The Matter of Being. It's a sort of resource and relationship management game/visual novel that puts you in the role of a Mansus-spirit. Facing divine punishment, you manipulate cultists into keeping you in the mortal world (and beyond the reach of the Hours) until you can renounce your immortality once and for all.

This community has been super supportive of this project, but it will only be possible to complete if we raise a significant ($USD 30K) sum on Kickstarter. I feel itchy about asking for that kind of money without offering some proof of our ability to deliver, and so I've decided to make a playable alpha available to the public.

It's not perfectly polished, it needs editing, and there are known bugs. Still, our playtesters seem to be enjoying themselves and we think it proves that we have the ability to make and write the game. If you play it and think to yourself: "this is off to a great start, but it needs another year in the oven," then my mission is accomplished! That's a very different thought from "who are these people asking for money and can they even make a game at all?"

So, come take a look! We'll be fixing up bugs and performance issues in this demo through June, which is when we'll participate in Steam Next Fest, with plans to formally kick off the Kickstarter in July. The number one way to support us at this juncture is to leave a review on Steam before Next Fest. The Algorithm, that most wretched God from Steel, smiles upon those who have many reviews!

If you'd rather watch someone play it, Ic0n, who does some CS/Book of Hours streams, will be playing it around 5pm EST here: https://www.twitch.tv/justanic0n

If you are already sold and want to follow our Kickstarter (which should go live shortly after Next Fest), please sign up here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tmob/the-matter-of-being We'll start to feel pretty confident around 1,000 followers.

Lastly, if you want to be involved in the day-to-day development, or join some upcoming Secret Histories art and game jams, you can check us out on Discord: https://discord.gg/CAE6atnwqw

Thanks so much for your support so far! We really hope you see the promise in what we've done, and can imagine what we can do with some time and an actual budget!

PS: There's a secret on the Kickstarter page for people who like that kind of thing.

I know I need to get a memory + a beverage that equals 5 of the required aspect. And Im trying to cure the Ereb one right now, but the highest aspect combo I can find is Forge 4. I have autism, so sometimes I don't understand things or see things right away. Is there a specific memory+beverage combo I should use for Ereb (and/or Acusis)
