hey! i was replaying to find different endings, and i found that if you leave town with wen, you go through the matchlock gun tutorial with wu anyway, and afterwards he calls you an and mentions events that happened when you meet him (in the passage marchontopearl (set: $following to "wu") appears so the route w/ wen isn't available). is this intentional..?
I checked the back of the game, and there's no way to experience both the gun tutorial and the horse riding tutorial in the same playthrough (they do not have any connecting links). marchontopearl also does not set any conditions, it only provides the divergent paths. Could you describe what happened in your playthrough? What did the characters say? Diverging events in part 2 are set completely in stone depending on whether you met Wen or Wu during your conscription, and you can only re-select your allegiance when the viceroy falls from power.

aksdhfksjdfh to be fair the urge to run away and date your girlfriend forever is incredibly overwhelming so i understand why no one would choose to go with wen in part one

+ also, this game slaps. the writing is just wonderful-- i adore the way the text shifts meaning as you click on it. i was reading the comments and your description of the game as neither pro-chinese or pro-british but pro-mulan, and that just encapsulates a lot of my feelings as a chinese american who has a weird relationship with that identity.
i intend on playing the hell out of all the routes esp now that theres an entire other branch :) its so well done, thank you
