Your FAVOURITE IF?! In this vast realm of interactive fiction? ⸜(˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶)⸝ And you've played it multiple times with the audio?!
I didn't think I could be any happier after finally releasing Chapter 2 into the wild, but you've definitely proved me wrong. Please don't apologise for the long comment, it was heartwarming to read and I'll do my best to give it the response it deserves! Thank you so much for giving this demo a chance, even in its unfinished state!
Who said you're supposed to hate Umyra? Certainly not me! Your Lenity is more than welcome to fall for a manipulator's manipulations... at risk of a Shakespearean Tragedy, of course. I've been truthfully telling players not to worry overmuch about affection stats right now - she's going to hate the protagonist only slightly less (at best) for a few chapters - but certain words and actions do make a favourable impression, even early on. You seem to have noticed, lol!
There’s so many dots to connect within the plot; I’m curious to see if the protagonist catches on sooner rather than later and if my theory with regards to reflections are correct.
Many, many dots indeed! I'd give you a hint, but I'm afraid I signed a binding non-disclosure agreement with the fey...
Make no mistake, it is deeply gratifying that players are enjoying the central relationship between MC and the twins; that said, your notes on the servant and the guard were so special to read. They both have a history apart from and with Umyra, and neither of them would dare to directly cross her. But as you mentioned, they are both willing to step to her over some things... so knowing that this unspoken history was present in the world as you played is everything. ♡
And also Z??? In the dream??? Z, babe, why did you do that?
You are the first person to mention that dream about Z! No comment on that, though... ahaha.
My only complaint is that I can’t play the entire game start to finish.
I'm doing my best to remedy that, I promise!
Chapter 3 is in-progress.
