“People say it was a miracle I survived. My wounds… they were too deep; I should’ve been dead three times over. I was lying in a pool of my blood when they found me, babbling like a madman. The farmers were inclined to end my misery and spare me needless suffering, but they couldn’t bring themselves to kill someone in cold blood, so they dragged my not quiet corpse to the stables to let me die in warmth, at least a bit of comfort. Except… I didn’t.
When they saw I was alive and recovering, improving… they took me to Swingmore. There’s an innkeeper here, a good woman who wants to take care of me, to let me… I don’t know. I don’t know nearly anything. But here I can rest till I’m ready to decide. To decide who I am, and maybe discover who I was.”

Where do i get the sturgeon scales from?
Did you play the demo? Had to accomplish that during the demo as well…
Getting a lot of renpy errors on the final sex scene, missing files sex_final_3 and sex_final_end
Ohh, sorry for that – I’ve fixed that and I’m uploading a modified build soon. How do you like the game by the way?
Absolutely love the game! Hopefully you have some DLC planned for even more scenes.
There was an expansions mentioned on the blog post 2 weeks prior. Go take a look at the plans.
I get an error when encountering the shaman, Rainer The Dark, and choosing to bring him a dark-skinned woman towards the last part of the game….I can send the error message if you need it?
Yes please, send it here: https://blog.lessonofpassion.com/contact-form/
I also experienced the error, but it didn’t break the game when I chose to ignore.
Okay, I was able to find it – uploading the modified build in minutes.
Who is your favorite character so far?
Just started but Kara and Teriani are awesome. Love the atmosphere of the game
Played around 20 minutes before I couldn’t stand it anymore
The combat system is downright terrible. Every enemy has twice the amount of hp your character does and hit as hard if not harder than you do. Having to go through more than 2 of them depletes your health completely and you burn through healing items in no time. Add the fact that you lose xp every time you lose a fight AND there is no option to run away from a fight ensures stagnation of xp. Also, if every single enemy in the game levels up as you do, levels don’t matter. Terrible balancing. This is probably a good contender for worst game you’ve ever made.
If you complain about the difficulty level of the fight I would like to not agree with you. We’ve done extensive testing of that aspect and we’ve not encountered any problems with balance. Of course you need to use some tactics, for instance to avoid too difficult enemies when your experience level isn’t high enough (and don’t fight the zombies as your first enemies) and use your attacks / skills / potions wisely. You can heal your characters by using potions in your inventory even between combats.
Yes, enemies level up but just in a fragment of the speed your character is growing with new stats and skills.
For those who would like to cheat a little – remember about the option to roll back action by scrolling the mouse. You can roll back a step in combat and make a different choice if you need to, But be advised – this system is smart and when the HEAVY ATTACK or MUTILATION missed, it will miss again in the same turn when your rolled back – you need to pick a different option. With having that trick on your mind, losing a battle should be a true challenge.
Always, when you don’t find the combat too appealing to you, you may play the STORY ORIENTED MODE without the combat at all.
Disagree if you will.
Again; apart from the goblins, every enemy I encounter have almost double the amount of hp I do and does as much damage as I do, often more and unlike me, they never miss. Doesn’t take a mathematical genius to figure out that fighting this way is not sustainable. Whether in combat or out of it, you burn through healing items incredibly fast. Healing in combat is basically useless since whatever you heal will just be lost when the enemy attacks you again and you forego an option to attack. And again, losing xp for losing a fight when there’s no way of running from a fight is incredibly bad for progression and doesn’t even make narrative sense. Losing is experience too, after all.
If the enemies level up at a fragment of what I do, then why am I constantly outpaced in damage output and hp? Avoiding difficult enemies until I’m higher level doesn’t make sense if they level up with me… No matter when I face them, they’ll still vastly outpace me in stats, essentially negating the point of even having a leveling system. I have played many an rpg and most of them seem to grasp these concepts.
I played the “full experience as intended” rather than go for story mode. It’s not worth a second try.
Good luck in the future.
I experienced this in the demo. I learned to grind early and avoid the swamps until I could gather the highest level items from the blacksmith. That combined with your higher strength meant you should be able to attack the higher level foes even if they have more HP. Also, by that point you would have gathered many consumable items along the way to use in the event your health is low.
I’ve been playing LOP and SAG games for years and have yet to find one that is ‘unplayable’
We’re listening to our fans, and today, we’re introducing the difficulty level to HOROS. When you start the game, you’ll be asked if you want to fight with EASY, MEDIUM or HARD enemies. Also, you’ll be able to alter the difficulty level in the game menu.
So right now, even players without any RPG game experience can enjoy killing goblins and other creatures with a smile. And if you like challenges, you may select a HARD level to test your skills and face much more challenging foes.
I did the demo with the fights, and it was okay. If it had been the first game I player from LOP, would never have signed up for paid year of both LOP and SAG. As far as Horos full game goes, I have played the full game with just the story, no fights, and it’s just okay that way, too. A lot of running back and forth between two spots just because visiting in the wrong order won’t trigger the right interaction. That’s pretty boring. It was the least enjoyable part of the western game, too, but it is worse in Horos, imo.
Looking forward to the rest of the LWT expansion. If I play Horos again before then will just be a way kill time.
In the STORY ORIENTED MODE, walking around the locations isn’t required because it’s unrelated to fights and gaining experience points from killed enemies. In this mode, we have fast travel – just launch the map and click where you want to go (only key locations like towns and areas where you can meet critical characters).
oh, that’s nice. i’ll try that next time i play the game — would really cut down on drudge, and maybe i would not accidentally kill off characters before having sex with them, like that goth chick with the zombie minions. just stumbled into her and killed her — i played before i saw the images here that showed i could have had sex with her, lol.
also, i did not mention it, but some of the models are really great. i like the wife of the rich guy. the one with her own clothing store. well drawn/rendered. that does kind of make me want to have sex with more characters, so the odds of playing the game again are going up.
lol, okay, had sex with resurrected goth chick. she’s much more mellow in her afterlife. the map navigation does work, but you still have to have uncovered certain end points to be able to jump to the end of the road. for example when horos is on his way to dark forest (if i remember the name correctly), he meets a guardian. that spot cannot be jumped to on map, and there are a couple of times it would be nice to jump there. so when you have time, maybe start out making all the character interaction points jump-to-enabled (dark gray vs light gray on my map).
Okay, the story-oriented mode is preferable to me over the fighting mode. I just go through ending 1. Like the sex scenes I unlocked along the way, the more I unlocked the more I was interested in playing the game. If I play more, it will be to unlock more scenes.
stuck on “try to bring back memories and find out your name”……..
Were you able to progress?
I have a big problem: I had Horos on level 18. I wanted to save the game.. I got an error message (don’t remember exactly which). After reloading the game ALL my saves werd lost… Is there a possibility to restore them?
Im sorry to hear that lachis17. I’m afraid that in the moment we can’t do nothing. That should be really curious and rare case because I’ve never encountered something like this.
In the future you can from time to time export your saves to make a copy.
Did you check under the A section for all the auto save points?
Yes, i have… Everything was lost.. All the galleries and the saves…
Been a member to LOP and S&G for a while and figured I should start leaving comments on the blogs lol. This game I really enjoyed. Im someone who looks for the game aspects in visual novels. I like the stat building and having something to work towards. One reason why a few of my favorites are Temptation, Eleanor, bloodlines and pledge. I do like how this one has an option tho for those who do not like that and just want to get to the good stuff.
I also like the Ren’py because I am familiar with it with other games I have played and the saving is nice as well as scrolling back text if you want to see the other options. One thing I do want to mention, Im not sure if anyone else noticed this but the game does not run very smoothly on chrome. I noticed stuttering and the animated scenes were not smooth. I switched to firefox and had no issue.
Keep up the great work and looking forward to more content 🙂
About CHROME and FIREFOX – I got the opposite impression. In CHROME, on both of my PC’s, everything is working smoothly and I got no lags in animation or during the scene transitions (same on EDGE, OPERA and SAFARI on MAC). The only browser that lags is FIREFOX.
ahhhh ok interesting. I did notice opera was a no go for me as well, But hey as long as everyone finds which one gives them the most smooth experience 🙂
Yah for me in Firefox I try to run Horos, I get a 401 Unauthorized. I dunno why, it runs in Chrome.
I’m missing the first orb of Aleneite. if anyone has any hints to it’s location that would be helpful.
It’s the easiest one and the first to discover 🙂 By the cart on a CORNFIELDS crossroads.
I couldn’t tell you how many times I went past that intersection and didn’t see it while unlocking LITERALLY everything else…..
Hot to say enjoying the game so far albeit sometimes glitchy.
Does anyone know how to get Horos X Emil X Aleneite Scene?
This scene is going to be released in the expansion later this year.
does anyone know how to get scene 2, 3, & 11? Also missing ending 2, 8, 9 &11
I need 2, 3, 6, and 11 sex scenes. Hope someone will fill us in, soon!
Both scene 2 and 3 involve the lust potion as you try to get the apple from the elven tree. Do not fight Nuala.
Scene 2: after getting the lust potion intended for Nuala, use it on Mandy instead.
Scene 3: use the lust potion on Nuala as intended.
Scene 6: can’t remember the details but it occurs fairly naturally over Fabiana’s quests
Scene 11: after Fabiana tells you to kill Tito, you tell Tito to go to the starting town and spare his life. After this go visit Lucretia. She will have fallen for Tito’s lies and want to marry him. Agree to cover for Tito’s lies.
Ending 2 requires Teriani to help during final fight. Ending 9 requires Mandy to help you. You get ending 11 by choosing to beg for the final boss’s mercy instead of fighting her. Then choose to join her side after that scene.
No idea how to get ending 8.
Also need help with ending 10, sex scene 14 and the first 3 magical orbs.
How do I get an ending other than ending 10?
Do you have support of other people and win the final fight?
Any hints on how to cheat mandy using the potion on her or turning to the dark side and joining petra? scenes 2,3,11 and many of the endings struggling. Loved the game and expansion to come.
