late answer but it's "cole's theme", if you're playing on desktop you can find the music in the game files (example: "TemptationsBallad-0.1.9-pc\game\audio", it's named "cole-theme")
Absolutely love it and full with laughs although.........
*in hushed tone*I do feel bad for poor Caulder yeah hes a jerk ass and definitely deserved it, but I have a sinking feeling he gets mistreated at home and is going to receive more now, I can't help but feel bad for him
Eh, you are right about the deserving part: its all Karma. dont act like a jerk and you dont get treated like a jerk. (below spoiler warning: )
Thought he was forced to make connection with other nobles and influental people but nobody forced him to be an absolut ass and mind rape someone innocent to lay his private feeling in the open. THAT was completly on his head . he got off easy though. just imagine what sidds mom would have done to him. brrrrrr
Oh I whole hardly agree and I'm quite sure when Ilia finds out She's gonna kick his tail again.....poor soul just doesn't know what coming to him. *shutters* (spoilers below)
Clearly those toxic nobles and their ways are to blame for his behavior and I have suspicion that Maeve might something in stored for them clearly not good. I like her but for some reason I getting a dark vibe about her, and Agatha too I also wonder just who's friend and who's foe.
Eeeeh, i Disagree. Artemies mother is toxic, yet she turned out nice. Marrow bonebreaker hates magic, yet cole doesnt hate his talent, he just hides it to not dissappoint his father.
Blaming sourrounding is always easy to absolve a person from there faults but we have seen time and time again that people can be different from there surrounding. wether there try to be different or there just give in is there decision. Not saying Caulder cant be redeemed but he has first to admit that he himself is at fault.
Also i wouldn immediatly call all nobles toxic for the way some of them act and in Maeves case i get more the feeling that she is just someone who does what she has to do in order for her house to hold its own. she is just playing the game well, to the dismay of the other noble houses.
Thought that just my theories and humble opinions.
I love Cole and Artemi even more now. The art for the duels was great and the outcome was hilarious and very satisfying. I don't dislike Agatha all that much anymore, but I'm wondering what's gonna happen with Calder cuz he sure doesn't seem very redeemable atm. Can't wait to see how the brawling tournament goes, it'll be nice to see Sidd getting his chance to shine, and more of Reinier as well cuz he seems pretty cool (and pirates are hot). I also didn't know I needed it but now I wanna see more of Sidd treating Malus like the cute pet he was meant to be.
Hey, Shirokoi I have a question for you when you go back to Repeat will you change how the game looks now because it looks a bit old but still looks good and I would like to see if there's a new look for the game?
not without help, I did not say he can't have the time to work on that if he does do that but I hope it does happen I would like to see what it would look like :)
I'm really enjoying this, the comedy doesn't mess up the flow at all and always gets a laugh from me. Though I am hoping that Malus gets "accidentally" stuffed into the wrong area of Cole's loincloth for a steamy situation
Would you be interested in a donation in any CryptoCurrency by any chance? (I’d throw in some extra to make it worth it.) I’d donate to you through itch, but this identity is strictly non-KYC so can’t do that unfortunately.
Love both of your visual novels either way! 😅
Grunk~ .... i'm curious of him, especially after he made me feel butterflies in my stomach when he whispered into Cole's ear
Marrow and Hamish are undeniably cute and wholesome togather, i hope Cole can accept Hamish as a father and call him as one in the future, and i hope Cole can come out to his papa that he's a mage(since being a mage is clearly a metaphor for being gay)
I've been voraciously playing through this since I downloaded it last night. It ended unexpectedly just a half hour into my shift at work. 😂 I'm so in love with this VN and the characters, particularly the Bone breakers! I eagerly await the next update!!
i mean it shows pretty early that Cole does care for Sidd's feelings and prefers that they dont become a thing because hes not great at the "feelings department"
I just love this game and can't wait for more. First time playing it in a long while and love the addition of Malus. "H-How dare you degrade me with such a cute nickname!" and with that face! XD love it!
ahhhhhhh I loved the latest update, I'm still surprised by how consistently great the flow of the story is. Can't wait to see the outcome of Sidd's situation, and Clyde's as well
I downloaded 0.1.7, but there is no new chapter. Only chapter 1 and 2 is still available and I've finished them. Am I just stupid, or is that all? Because I see content on youtube wayyyy ahead of what is currently in the game. Can someone please help me!!!!
So if you look in the description it will have a link to his twitter and his patreon. On his patreon you will see 1.8 is available, but only if you choose to support. You can also see updates on the patreon to when he'll post a new build, and on the twitter he posts nsfw stuff and life updates. Currently according to his twitter it seems hes sick with something. Hope he feels better soon 103 fever (and in the beginning of summer no less) is no joke.
Very enjoyable read! Love the characters and their interactions so much!
Would accept donations for this in cryptocurrency (not Bitcoin)? I don’t need a purchase receipt or early access, but I’d very strongly prefer not binding this to my civil identity so if there is any way to support you please let me know!
I realized I can send you gift cards too. If there is anything on the following site that would be useful to you, please let me know and I’ll send you to code/link for redemption: https://coingate.com/gift-cards/
This VN was quite fun! I really enjoyed reading it. All the characters have a relatable personality and circumstance, and I can't help but feel as if this tale could be true (even though everyone tends to be gay in it, not that im complaining hehe).
Im so jelly. Wish I had a father like Marrow. He's so supportive.
Truly a beautiful piece, constantly makes me feel warm and fuzzy. The story is very well written, with immersing plot, good character development, and great comedy. Characters have good designs, the artworks and sprites are nicely drawn. Sometimes I even feel you're being very generous with how many variants there are. I can't tell if the music are originally composed, but they work well too. With an UI that isn't the default design and perhaps even a gallery section, this will be a 11/10 visual novel.
Now with the professional review done...
Omg why is every single guys in this game so hot and charming. I love them all so much pls give me moreeeee

Great update! Good character moments and really funny, A+!
Tho jelousy and envy being used interchangeably at the beginning kinda peeves me a little.
I can't stop laughing 🤣
LOL!!!! this update had me laughing so much, poor sidd but still, that dude got what he deserved.
I love Cole and Artemi even more now. The art for the duels was great and the outcome was hilarious and very satisfying. I don't dislike Agatha all that much anymore, but I'm wondering what's gonna happen with Calder cuz he sure doesn't seem very redeemable atm.

Loved the new update!
Nope. Came out about 7 hours ago now.
What a pleasant surprise, thanks for the heads up

Not to shoot you down homie but I think that would be waayyyyyy too much work, he'd essentially have to redo the entire VN
not without help, I did not say he can't have the time to work on that if he does do that but I hope it does happen I would like to see what it would look like :)
I'm pretty sure I remember him saying that he extended the hiatus by another 6 months because of bad mental health
ok thanks for letting me know hope they feel better soon
I'm really enjoying this, the comedy doesn't mess up the flow at all and always gets a laugh from me. Though I am hoping that Malus gets "accidentally" stuffed into the wrong area of Cole's loincloth for a steamy situation
OMG I'm addicted to theme song at chapter 2 about Marrow and Hamish character info, what's the song title?? Anyone know?
It’s called “Heartful Lullaby” if I’m not mistaken.
I haven't played much of this game so far but my favorite character 100% is Noddle. He is just too fcking adorable....
I love this so much! Amazing work so far!

so do the new itch builds just come out when the next patreon build comes out?
i dont think so, it said patreon gets builds 1 month before the public release
This might be my favorite VN so far
I love the characters and the artwork and the story!!!
F R O S T & R E N- my mind has been blown. found out today. A wild journey indeed.
I'm just wondering; who's Coles mom? Or is that a plot point we're just gonna unravel as the story progresses?
At the end of this chapter, it kind of references that Cole may not have a true "mother".
I saw someone on twitter say Mpreg
ｏｈ ｎｏ
True it hints the marrow was a mage and somthing went wrong that cost him his eye.
holy shit! Sidd's mom is an absolute girlboss!
Grunk~ .... i'm curious of him, especially after he made me feel butterflies in my stomach when he whispered into Cole's ear
Marrow and Hamish are undeniably cute and wholesome togather, i hope Cole can accept Hamish as a father and call him as one in the future, and i hope Cole can come out to his papa that he's a mage(since being a mage is clearly a metaphor for being gay)

i can´t download the game can someone help me please
Yahh!!! I kinda feel bad for how he treats Hamish
i mean it shows pretty early that Cole does care for Sidd's feelings and prefers that they dont become a thing because hes not great at the "feelings department"
there's a change in those dynamics later on
Your story writing is incredible for Temptations Ballad, I look forward to the updates. This should be a Netflix series minus the OwO parts lol
Keep the OwO scenes to assert dominance
I just love this game and can't wait for more. First time playing it in a long while and love the addition of Malus. "H-How dare you degrade me with such a cute nickname!" and with that face! XD love it!
Mmm I kinda want some instant noodles
*looks at Malus*
Gotta say, that slight twist to Cole's backstory in this update definitely made his character more interesting.
Loved this update by the way!
Any way to see past sprites again? There's stuff I can't remember about Cole that I'd like to check =)
Fancy seeing familiar faces here, Tucker :D
Haha indeed!!
ahhhhhhh
I loved the latest update, I'm still surprised by how consistently great the flow of the story is. Can't wait to see the outcome of Sidd's situation, and Clyde's as well
Oh, Marrow's a berserker barbarian? My condolences for his, to put it lightly, less that stellar 3rd level feature.
D&D nerding aside, love this update.
For Sidd: F
For Artemi: NO!
For cole: yes, bat woman sus
omg i can't even with this new update, the way sidd just plucked Artemi out of the crowd was everything
fujoshi artemi HAHA
is there gallery or something?
when I download the windows version it keeps saying failed when it's done??? Can somebody help?
I downloaded 0.1.7, but there is no new chapter. Only chapter 1 and 2 is still available and I've finished them. Am I just stupid, or is that all? Because I see content on youtube wayyyy ahead of what is currently in the game. Can someone please help me!!!!

This is such a well written VN, and I really enjoy it, but when is the next update?
So is there any fighting or is it just dialouge?
just dialogue!
