Looks as though there's room for another branch between Grace and Jessie's routes. Is there something I can do to fill that in, or is that just room for further updates?

There are 4 different dialogue options, I believe only 3 of them are required (specifically the 3 with unique scenes, the one where you tell Alana immediately doesn’t count). You get the achievement after you’ve completed all of the scenes associated with those choices to their ends. Make sure you aren’t bailing out after just clicking the options.
so i have a question.
during alot of the endings and some other places.
we get like a black screen and some text.
its always written in a way like its being spoken by a 3rd party.
talking about the main characters, not as one of them.
is it ever explained who that person is!?
or is that person just like. the narrator.
or a in game personification of us, the player?
I won’t tell you who it is, but I will tell you it is supposed to be a mystery and it is not the player or a unnamed narrator. They will play into later expansions of the game when we get to those. There are some good theories on the discord and there are enough clues to figure it out in game if you pay attention to the lines, but it is intentionally vague.
I am lost at finding the last 11 art images for Grace and some of the almanac entries
and for some reason the acheivement for finishing Grace's story didnt unlock the first time i got to the end but worked after i reloaded the game and did it again starting just before the ending
did all the paths in Grace's story and Selkie is still locked... 95%
It sounds like you’re just missing the at least one ending, if you’re using skip to go over things it can sometimes miss the ending trigger if you skip the post-credits scene, you need to stop skipping the credits right near the end and let the post-credits play out completely. I think we fixed this bug in the next build we’re working on.
Hm, that’s odd, are you on the mobile version of the game?
After you finish the Selkie ending (the one where Malcolm turns into a seal), when the credits finish (don’t spam click through it on accident), you should be presented with a small scene with seal Malcolm and Grace and a sunken boat. You aren’t seeing this at all?
Absolutely incredible story!! I've reached every single ending, some far sadder than others, gotten all the achievements and easter eggs (mostly thanks to your guide!), but I was wondering about the dial under the tree in branches? The 3 obvious circles are coloured in, but there are 3 swirls inside with orbs on their ends that remain uncoloured. Is there something else I need to do, or is it just a placeholder for things to come?
Also, I noticed that 3 dials on the main screen turn 4 times each, is there a code if they're turned in a specific order that unlocks something?
Also also, is Hazel going to be more involved at some point? I notice she's the only animal with human eyes and it makes me wonder if she was perhaps a person turned into a horse and with Malcom's help, she can turn back? I couldn't help but feel like the "Kelpie" page in Baird's book hinted at something like that.
Either way, it's been a wonderful experience that I will treasure, this is a game to be truly, truly proud of!
First, thanks you for playing Changeling Tale! Glad you found it fun and enjoyed the story :B
The orbs on the tree don’t do anything, and I’m not sure they will.
The dials on the mainscreen are for access to the dev menu items, temp builds we made like the game announcement and april fools, and cheat mode to unlock everything.
Hazel might be more involved in future chapters we have planned :V
That's a shame about the orbs, I thought it'd be 3 more characters like Hazel, Effie, and maybe Alana's tree person? x3
Also, I knew something was up about hazel!! I forgot to mention that I couldn't help but notice her horsehead trinket hanging by her saddle, very on the nose... Perhaps a gift from Effie to a previous victim?
Anyway, it all sounds fantastic!! I'm so enveloped in this story now, the writing is incredible, I've never had a game genuinely give me butterflies when things went well and pits in my stomach when things really didn't...
Something else I'd been curious about, are there plans for any plus sized characters at any point? I love the bodies of the 3 girls and how they tf, but they're all so perfectly fit and pretty, I was wondering if there'd be any more unconventionally attractive characters in the mix in the future x3
Last thing I wanted to ask was, is there a roadmap by any chance? Or any indication on when the next update will be? No rush of course, perfection takes time, just curious x3
There are different types of characters coming but I can’t promise anything specific right now. The current roadmap is: 100%~ Completion bonus short story, Rowan, the Fae DLC and then a final DLC. No dates on any of them, they’ll be released on Patreon as they are finished for Patrons to preview in chapters.
Seeking help from some fellow enthusiasts of this amazing VN: Im missing exactly one almanac Entry(Campbell Farm, second section: have the spinning wheel, Curtains Marion sewed, and the wedding photo) gatekeeping me from 100%(that and the fact mini games are apparently disabled on the steam deck version), and I can't for the life of me figure out what I could be missing, since I've gotten every single ending.
Anyone know what steps I'd need to take for the final one? I'd rather not brute force it by doing literally every dialogue combo available, but I need to make that 99% a 100%
Edit: I officially have no idea how to make the last entry pop. Whatever choice it is that makes it pop seems to be a minor one, and while I'm obviously Missing whatever choice unlocks it, I can't find a single one in any branches that I could be overlooking: it feels like I've selected every line of dialogue, but nothing
... apparently you have to do a very specific set of choices for the dinner for two one(never got it to proc focusing solely on Marion, but did random picking to get there XD apparently icing out Jessie but picking Grace and Marion options unlocks it), but no specific choice in the portion itself is required(unlock is during the dialogue section starting with 'Jessie loved to see him coming!')
Thanks for the assist, it's much appreciated
Also, the 100% completion reward thing I saw mentioned earlier, is that just the Cernnunos entry in the Book, or is there something else 100% unlocks?
I figured it would trigger a dialogue change in a certain section, if after checking and confirming it's still the same, I'm assuming that's being saved for when all the romance paths are implemented and you can truly 100% all 6
Glad you managed to figure it out :B
Current 100%~ just unlock Cernnunos in the Baird’s section, there is however another update coming in a month or two that will have another unlock. It may not be 100%, like 90%+, since as you’ve found out getting 100% can be a bit difficult. It’s a more significant update though (30+ scenes), so it’s taking a bit longer to finish up. There are also more paths coming after that, we’re currently working on the “Rowan” update - but those are much further out.
Thanks for the quick reply!
I don't think picture 6 is more revealing than the unlocked picture 5 of the sixth entry. ^^'
It is the image of Jessy on the meadow howling (picture 5) and then (propably?) the one where she smirks at Malcom. Or is there a different image where you have to click somewhere?
Perhaps I was going too fast through the scenes.
