Evoria Chapter 8.5 Sidequest Update!
🕑 Added 2025-03-11 16:19:57 +0000 UTCSurprise!! It's out now!!
That's right!! The sidequest update is finally ready!! Now, this being a sidequest update, it doesn't progress the main story. However, there's still lots to do, with somewhere between 2-3 hours of content available!! To fully illustrate everything added and changed, here's something I plan on doing with each update from now on- Patch notes!
SIX NEW SIDEQUESTS!
- Bea seems distressed... Talk to her at the New Pax Crossroads to find out why!
- The Book of Possibility has another story to tell... Visit the library in northwest New Pax to learn more!
- Don't you wanna take a break and have some pizza? Head to Little Elfocitta Pizza in west New Pax and try some!
- It looks like Wisp Village is hosting a storytelling session. Check out the library in Glumberwood to attend!
- Seems GorjaCorp has a new job opening... Head to the skyscraper in northwest New Pax and check it out!
- And after finishing 5 sidequests, talk to Archie in the Adventurer's Guild to start a special extra-long sidequest!
OVER 60 NEW PIECES OF SCENE ART
- As per the usual, SeaBea went craaazy for this update!! There's so much new art!!!
OTHER FUN STUFF!
- Evoria's 2025 Q&A has been organized in the New Pax Convention Center (Formerly the Opera House!) Wanna hear your previously asked questions answered by the Evoria characters? That's the place to be!
- The salon in northeast New Pax has opened, with the power to use iridescent shards you've collected from the main story to upgrade your magic skills!
- A total of 32 all-new fish to catch! Mitzi can fish in New Pax and the whole party can fish in Wisp Village!
- At the Adventurer's Guild, Tristan offers a new item for completing 9 sidequests and Molly offers a new move for completing 7 sidequests!
- More furniture is available to buy for your house! A bed for Mitzi at the New Pax Item Shop, a Naomi doll from Wisp Village, and a special vase from a secret new area!
- New museum exhibits for scenes from Chapter 8 and for the new sidequests!
- At the theater, you can now watch Chapter 8's animation plus an all new animation from one of the sidequests!
- And of course, 16 new entries in the Adventurer's Database! (Plus 32 more entries for the aforementioned new fish!)
SMALLER CHANGES!
- Moving with the mouse has returned! You can click a spot and your party will go there!
- Enemies now have a little shadow behind them in battles. It makes the battles look a little nicer!
- Any time you enter a new town/important area, its name pops up on the screen!
TWEAKS/BALANCING!
- Renee's Blasting Frenzy attack now has an easier action command, but costs slightly more MP
- Mitzi's scan move lowers defenses for 5 turns instead of 3 and costs less SP.
- Naomi's Restore spell and Renee's Magic Barrier spell no longer require action commands to complete
- Cherry has a higher evasion rate, making her less likely to be hit by enemies.
- Naomi and Mitzi have slightly higher evasion rate, while Renee has a slightly higher critical hit rate.
- Cherry's Woeful Melody now weakens an enemy's attack rather than defense. It also costs less MP.
- The "Evoria" subsection of quests in the Quest Log has been cut, just to make things simpler.
- Very very small dialogue changes to Lilith's testimony in the Chapter 7 trial and the Chapter 8 "Mitzi Breakdown" scenes. Just stuff to help pacing and make characters actions feel more natural.
- The Major General now has a custom text typer sound and his sprite has been adjusted to better match his portrait art.
- Flik's fell down a set of stairs
So yeah, there's a lot to do!! Hopefully it'll be enough to keep you guys busy until Chapter 9!
Special thanks to my beta testers - IceDev, Crower, Genpis-Chong, Bel, Erikwulf and Asmodesu! The game would be a lot messier if it wasn't for them!! And an extra special thanks to SeaBea, of course!! The art in this update is really something else, see for yourself!

Hey... hello, I was resuming the secondary missions and I got stuck on the 8-bit mission. I don't know if I'm missing something or if I pressed the wrong key, but I can't get past Chiptowne. Can someone explain to me how to get out of here?

Does anyone have a generic save?

That's an issue with using pre-0.8.0 saves! Try using one of the save files from the chapter select, there should be a link to it on the main Evoria itch page!

Am I the only one for whom the gulp ability doesn't work? It just breaks the game for me

Here's an Idea for the next story time "the wolf and the fox" Renee is the wolf obviously and Mitzi is the Fox

Yep! You can use your old save from your previous playthrough or if you wanna, you can use the "Chapter 9" save from the chapter select files!
