1.1 Update + Web Build!

Just in time for the Queer Games Bundle, here's an update! There are two primary parts to it; the first is that there's now a web build available, thanks to the recent Ren'Py 8.1 update. This means that you can now play the game without having to download the zip files (including on your phone!), although performance might be slightly worse on the web version than the downloadable version. The second is that I've added image captions and sound captions to the game, which should make the game more accessible to players.

In addition, each ending is now named and numbered, which should hopefully make them a bit less jarring to reach. The story hasn't been changed in any way, so if you've already played the game, you won't see anything actually new if you play this updated version too. (But if you want to find out what the names of all the endings are, go for it.) And in the spirit of O2A2, the original build is still available for download (the files labeled "Jam Version").

This is the last planned update for the foreseeable future. Thank you for playing A Bit Tied Up!

As a bonus, here's a sheet of concept sketches of the game's protagonist, certified bi disaster Thalius:

This piece and the CG in the game were drawn by Guorin, whose other art you can check out on Instagram!

If you want to support more games by queer creators, consider checking out the Queer Games Bundle, either the full-price $60 version or the pay-what-you-can $10 version. A Bit Tied Up is included in it, and while neither I nor the artist of this game will receive any money from the bundle, buying it will still help you financially support other queer game developers. (Also, there are a lot of banger games in there.)
