Closed Beta - Version 0.24 (Greater Circle)
Added 2025-06-23 13:25:15 +0000 UTCHere is the fully finished update to Version 0.24 (final update to Merlin's Guide, new text messages, + completed Free Time Hub).
As this is a hub that will become available once every chapter from this point onwards, you'll be able to run through it around 1 – 4 times (depending on if you're slothful, if you had to take a detour on the road, if one of the ROs triggers an additional scene with you etc.) before the game moves on.
For people new to the Free Time Hub, I advise you to make a save file right before entering Free Time so you can try out the many, many, many different options and see which ones you'd like to keep for your canon run. Also, keep in mind that certain choices need to be triggered by previous flags (i.e. to have the extended discussion with Merlin about the First or Second Circles requires you to successfully research them in the Internet Hub first)
This uses the same slots as the normal public beta of the game. However, if you're going to use an old save...
Make sure to clear your cache for the oneknightstand.co website and check that the start page is displaying Version 0.24. Then check the Status menu to make sure your stats haven't been reset to default.
If your stats have reset to the default ?¿?¿?¿ values, it means that particular save has corrupted and you'll have to use another one (as proceeding with a corrupted save will just give you a bunch of nonexistent error messages).
Firefox + derivative browsers might have actually started working again (at least the last time I tested the Alpha), but if you can't access the Beta on Firefox, please try a Chromium-based browser instead. Midori might also not be working.
Please report any bugs you find as this is by far the most complicated section of game to code and was a real horror trying to iron out all the bugs.

Thanks! That appears to be a bug with the "Water, Water, Everywhere" variation of that scene, so should hopefully be fixed with the next update.

2025-06-27 18:11:26 +0000 UTCFree time hub: “Help Adrian clean the kitchen counters and sink... why is he even doing that?” -> after selecting this it isn’t grayed out and can be selected again. This takes a time slot every time even though nothing new happens. Free time hub: asking Percy about his taste in music activates sound effects even when toggled off (iPhone).

You tumble to the floor in such an awkward manner than you nearly go sprawling back down the last flight of stairs.” -> than -> that. “Sometimes you're almost damned sure that he's sending out mixed signals. Sometimes you're almost certain he's doing in on purpose.” -> in -> it. “She was the the fated lover of Lancelot, the mother of Galahad, and the daughter of King Pellam the Fisher King.” -> 2x the. “Your romantic interest may vacillate all over the place, but focusing on Adrian now, really? Madness. Sheer unadulterated madness. The thought of crushing on your years-long stalker.” -> adrian is not a stalker in this play through but friends (friends with wanting it to be more I should say).
