I highly recommend doing the path! But not the first time through :)
Hence why I am choosing to gatekeep it so readers can experience the story in the way it was intended to be told. I will obviously reveal the path publicly at the end of the VN, and of course, anyone is welcome to spend the time doing guess and check or going through the code to find the path for it.
It's more of a "non-cannon secret ending" rather than a viable option, so I don't want anyone to accidentally stumble onto it during their play-through.
Not to spoil anything, but the consequences of picking that route are... well... they're pretty disgusting by the ending haha.
Does this count as the author's official amnesty? Then I can explore this route with a much lighter heart—like casually making up a harmless, funny parody story, rather than pushing myself toward an terrible ending.
By the way... I haven't reached the end of this version yet, but I'd like to know: how much longer will this game take to be completed? Roughly how many more versions? The wait is always so long, yet the happy times playing always fly by in an instant... I don't even dare to keep playing right now, afraid that I'll gobble up all the candy in one sitting.😢
Well, I have a lot of IRL commitments, so I am forced to take it at a much more reasonable pace than spitting out 115K words in 6 months, like I did with build 3. It's good. It forces me to take it at a more doable rate so I don't get burn out. I have no personal idea of how long? I know how far into the story we are! We're like 60% of the way through. If I had to venture a GUESS (this is not like me making an official statement haha, just theory crafting) It's maybe 3 builds more? Depending on size of the build?
Damn it…… Three more versions…… 18 months…… A year and a half…… I can't accept this 😭😭😭
(Crying) (Gasping) (Getting infected) (Screaming) (Howling) (Vomiting) (Growing appendages) (Crawling darkly) (Shrieking) (Devouring) ……
(Until the longing for this game pulls me back.)
Alright, I'm fine…… 😢 Or maybe, not fine at all 😭
Either way, I still wish you all the best in life and massive success for your game. Thank you for your hard work that allowed me to play this masterpiece 🥰🥰🥰
