Greater Circle: Available Now
Lesser Circle: Available July 14*
Public Beta: August 4*
*Updates occur in Eastern time and may be delayed in case of emergency or sickness (or computer going up in flames) because I'm not going through that clusterfuck again when I updated with COVID.
Here 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 H...

Gwen in the master bedroom, reacting to the reveal that she's rooming with Strips-in-their-sleep-and-sleepwalks-n4ked-MC. Some ROs take this news better than others.

Common medieval phrases that tend to pop up in medieval/fantasy settings, especially in some of the later variations of Arthurian lore.
Anon, good sir/lady: In a moment, ma'am/sir
A knight without reproach: A great knight without scandals attached to his name

As suggested by the Greater Circle, it's the May Question & Answer session coming in at 1912 words. This marks the return of a certain extra special guest character! But as only three questions were sent in this month, this will be an abbreviated event.

This is the preview (+ announcement) for the now-finished Chore Hub section within the Free Time Hub that I normally would've posted on Tumblr instead (before the account was shadowbanned).
The Chore Hub was the second-to-last section in the FTH, so next month's update should finish it off + release the long-awaited Beta Update.

This is the POV of the fourth and final Camelot MC from the flashback sequences. The past three previous Arthur snippets have demonstrated POVs from the other three Camelot MCs available.

The MC's inventory (or lack thereof) finally beginning to rear its head. That is, if MC can pull themself away from interacting with the ROs long enough to actually get some extra chores done.

Once I get down to the washing clothes section, it should be smooth sailing. But the belated revealing the demon mark, cell phone modification, and pearls of protection mini hubs have some pretty crazy coding going on since they need to take into consideration the variations of Harbingers who might be present for the scene and all the MC combos.
Once the public beta has been released, snooping through the code should give you some good previews for Cassandra, Gwen, Lorelei, and Broderic...
