Hello! Hope you're having a nice day :) I have 2 questions about the game!

1) Is there a way to view the different versions of the "Final Call"chapter without starting a new game? I know you can view the different endings, but I'd also like to see how they play out in the final chapter and I can only view it from my original ending (darkness). I'd like to be able to see how the chapter plays out in the other endings as well!

2)I've played through the chapters a few times now, but I can't find out how to unlock the "House Call" chapter for Keyes. It's the only chapter I still haven't unlocked :(

Thank you!!! This game is amazing and deserves so much more recognition than it's getting. I had no idea that Renpy was even capable of creating games this complex (I've played a loooot of Renpy games, and this one is miles above the rest) I'll make sure to recommend it to my Visual Novel loving friends!

Hi, thank you for your kind words regarding Lingering.

Regarding your question they are all interconnected actually.

1) Yes you can get different version of Final call without starting a new game. There are 3 versions. One where Lock n Keyes are enemies (Darkness), One where they are dating and one where they are just friends, all have a different final CG.

The problem for you is since you didn't unlock House Call, the enemy tag is stuck because the only way to remove that tag is in the House Call chapter or you become boyfriends with Keyes which overrides the enemy tag.

To get the boyfriends tag (without the House Call opened) you have to go back to the chapter where you had a date with Bishop "Date?" chapter in Lock and REJECT the kiss. Then play the "Honesty" chapter in Keyes and Keyes and Lock should date if you have over 50 points with Lock.

2) If you do want to remove the enemy tag to experience the just friends option of "Final Call". Open the "House Call" chapter by replaying the "Talk" chapter, but you have to not have sex with Keyes. As the chapter "Honesty" and "House Call" cannot be played simultaneously so if "Honesty" is available, "House Call" is not.

To do this is rather tricky, since you have to have less than 50 points during the "Breakdown" chapter, play that to the end then go play the Culprit chapter to the end to open up a different scene with Lock and Keyes, then finally replay the "Talk" chapter. The chapter "House Call" should then be opened.

Pretty long chain, but most choices have a domino effect in Lingering so it is what it is I'm afraid, sorry > <. Good luck!

Unfortunately, even after replaying the 'Date?' and 'Honesty' chapter, I still got the same ending. I'm sure I have over 50 points with Lock too because I'm able to get the R18 scene. Is there some other requirement for them to become boyfriends or is my game broken? ;-;

did you replay Final call as well? Im not sure what went wrong. Altho opening the sex scene isn't a clear indicate of 50 points. A clear indicate is Locks reaction to Keyes being what he is in the Asylum. If he freaked out he is below 50, if not it is above. If the ending is still stuck in Darkness, try this https://steamcommunity.com/app/1343220/discussions/0/4336358006696848283/

sorry if it still doesn't help :')
