Forbidden Kin -v1.0 Se- By Dumb Koala Games
Forbidden Kin -v1.0 SE (By Dumb Koala Games) — Deep Dive
3. Redesigned UI and QoL Features
The original UI was functional but clunky, resembling a Ren'Py template from 2015. The SE version features:
- A gothic, stained-glass motif for the menu buttons.
- An in-game "Relationship Web" that visually maps how every character feels about every other character, not just you.
- A scene gallery that unlocks after completing any ending.
- Twelve save slots increased to forty.
Version 1.0 SE: What Makes the "Special Edition" Special?
The jump from beta 0.9 to v1.0 SE is not merely a bug-fix patch. Dumb Koala Games has marketed this as the definitive version of the game. Here is what the "SE" entails: Forbidden Kin -v1.0 SE- By Dumb Koala Games
