Hello everyone, For those of you having difficulties with Steam achievements not properly unlocking, please follow the steps below: 1) Navigate to appdata/roaming/RenPy/castlesatnight (or something similarly named - this is an odd bug with Ren'Py, our game engine, using an old name for the project) and delete the .persistent file. 2) Delete your Steam .persistent file, which should be in Steam/steamapps/common/Chess of Blades. 3) You should now have a clean slate for COB, which should in turn make all achievements properly unlock. This seems to be an issue that has affected other Ren'Py games in the past, but we apologize for the inconvenience! Please let us know if you're still having issues through a comment or emailing contact@argentgames.co, and we'll see what we can do :)

About:
Chess of Blades is the second Boy's Love (or yaoi) mystery/romance visual novel game developed by Argent Games. Our first game, Requiescence, was Kickstarter funded and is also available on Steam.
For those unfamiliar with visual novels, they are primarily 2D narrative-based games that present the user with important choices that alter the story's path. For Chess of Blades, mystery and intrigue are a central part of the story, but there are also three prominent romance routes that significantly change the later portions of the game.
