FatUnicornGames;

Sadly, no! It is playable, but there are some graphical hitches we haven't been able to slay. Our next game will be out on Mac, but no news yet for Scheherazade. :(

Hey, I need some help with Nigel's romance route. I hope someone can help me because right now im quite stumped...

Usually the Christmas event would activate the choice if you'd like to do the romance route with the chosen male or stick to family. Well in my case I got Nigel's story in Christmas but I couldn't activate his romance route at all. I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong...

I was just about to buy it on Steam...but then realized that it is Windows only. So sad for me.

Hey there! I finally bought your game and started playing it, and while I plan on giving you an actual review once I finish it, there are a few suggestions I'd like to make at the moment. 1) DEAR GODS GIVE US A DIALOG HISTORY TO LOOK AT. There's not way to go back and see what was said if you missed something, and sometimes moving the mouse auto-forwards a few dialog boxes, leaving me to load a save and go through a lot of dialog again to see what I missed. 2) I understand the game is meant to be challenging, but skills go up way too slowly, and relying on inspiration cards leaves you resorting to save scumming for quite a while in order to get the ones you need for your next caper. Either increase the rate skills go up, or lessen the randomness of inspiration cards (at least in one or two of the modes). Fixing these two things would really help with the immersion of the game, which at this point gets broken quite often by constant saving and loading to see what was missed or get what's needed to continue. Even if you can't fix these in the current game, think about it for the sequel at least?
Edit: Another thing to possibly fix! On the steam version, there's a frequent problem where clicking on things (buttons, options, whatever) in my game will cause the game to disappear from the screen and force you to click on the game icon in your dashboard to bring it back. And then if you click the thing again it does the same thing and you have to quit the game and reopen it. This only happens in fullscreen mode, at least for me. It's unclear if the problem is on my end or not, so I'd like to know if anyone else has had this problem (it started near the end of the egypt trip).

Does the game not allow PageUp to scrollback?
