hii after playing a while ı wanna share my thoughts... but ı kinda ended up writing too much haha sorry :')

for anyone who didnt play the game this comment has some spoilers in it please dont read it ıf you dont want to get spoiled! 

Hello! ı actually wanted to comment after finishing all the endings but after only managing to finish 2 endings and getting emotional bit too much ı decided to taking this game slow is better option than rushing. Well overall the story is great! although ıt seems like there is no escape from dark content in this game. I really did my best to convince both sides (temple or anyone and crown) yet failed every time (ı remember that ı had to walk over forest maps soo many times since ı didnt know where to go and forgot the examine the area only to watching things goes to fight again :')) ı couldnt help but feel sad. for now ı only managed to get jeths ending and brookhaven ending( well this is the name ı gave to that route .. saving brookhaven with no pendants) and ıt seems like no matter what ı do, there will be always a side will get crushed (assuming that transient one will win all the battles stubbornly like ı do haha) well ı guess except the brookhaven ending is actually not too bad? ıf we not consider MC is getting caught and probably will end in horrifying situation, before we arrive things were getting better so ı guess doing brookhaven route then returning to our world is actually best ending for the world we ended up in. 

ıf ı would try to talk about characters :

jeth: well he was my first choice for route since he looked mysterious and clever so ı thought his route would be interesting. but as ı play my view towards this character was like.. first ıt went high since he looked like he listens MC very well and try to follow their path to getting very low with his our returning back ending (everything was going good until ı read the prison part... woow ı still have chills about this) and in the end my view about him hit the bottom with how he treated the MC ıf ı choose to refuse him (yea ı wasnt expecting him to hurt the person he actually ''loves'')  so ım soo glad that ı actually played his route first for the sake of story because ı doubt that ı would pick him ıf ı knew his attidute towards chaarcters changes the moment ı choose to stay away from him.

also jeths route and all those ''starting all over'' endings made me feel like the only reason ı got this much attention and love was just because of aura not because of myself (ouch XD). but ı guess ıf ı wasnt have strong aura (given by developers) ı would probably end up in prison or be a great weight to Deita..

Mikaylis: ı havent played his route yet but thanks to brookhaven ending ı kind of know that he has some temper... haha but he still manages to control himself (well he could have crushed me after literally bending the prison bars) ı also liked how he kept doing his best in jeth's route too telling me to come to him in any time. So my view for him for now is pretty positive and ı do hope playing his route too hoping that the bitterness in his route's ending wont be too bad haha.. 

Deita: ı was actually trying to ge tinto her route which ı couldnt and ended up having brookhaven ending. well ı am glad ı actually did since ı got some cute time with all other characters and ım happy about this. ı will try to get her though.. even ı feellike ı will have hard time XD (since she doesnt appear on battles except first times..)

well ıf ı would talk about other characters seeing Lor in prison was so sad.. ı actually wanted to save him but after learning he went crazy and other characters didnt let me to approach him ı decided to give up sadly. but in brookhaven ending seeing him doing well and staying with me and even wanting it ( ı think ı kinda know the reason why :')) made me so happy same goes with other characters. depending on the ending how their reactions towards me changes anger or discontent to loyalty and happiness. ı was actually happy to be on their good side.. though ı couldnt find a way to happy ending for all (either there is not or ı simply overlook the key points haha...) 

I also would love mention about ''gods'' or more likely developers.

when Deita asked my opinion about how the ''gods'' in their world and saying that she trust that gods care for their creations in their own way. ı couldnt help but give it a thought since developers are actually have pretty strong role in this game even though ıt doesnt seems like first. 

If she would have asked me this in my first hours of playing ı would obviously say ''ı dont trust them'' thinking how Ruwin and others' life are messed up and no matter how much ı struggle game continues to be cruel towards other side. but after getting several ending for each route (ı tried all 3 options) ı noticed something and that perhaps most likely to be safest ending for everyone was returning the home end. well since ı didnt play all endings ı cant say for sure but ı can clearly remember how my confidently clicking ''thats not fair!'' slowly turned into being hesitant about doing it. because whenever these developers warn me and ı dont listen something either ı dont want or dark happens especially ıf ı insist as keep being transient one. at first things seem perfectly normal and sweet but then something horrible happens in the end. after realizing this ı actually decided to click on ''I trust the gods'' option since not listening their suggests and warnings casually led either MC or people of that world experience painful/bad events.  also them saying our MC came in that world because they wanted to develop the game further (event though the way they brought MC is questionable..)  makes this point stronger. actually ı cont help but fear from how original game will end up about this topic :') ı cant help but think '' will it be bitter ıf ı try to continue living in the world developers cerated in original game too? ''

overall ı feel like jumping from original game into this one was a bit mistake for me. for now the original game is pretty much having a light and hopeful nature (which ı hope that wont change but ı also accept ıf ıt will) while this game is alot more bitter. but ı think feeling this bitterness only shows how strong and good story is! thank you for all the efforts for everyone for this amazing game! ı really do love all the detailed world, story and characters you create :)

and thank you for anyone who read this commend until the very end ı know ı write too much so yes.. thank you  ^^;;

Hi JustaOnegirl,

Thank you for sharing your thoughts about this side game! You raised a lot of good points and insights that I wanted to respond to so I will preface that this will also have spoilers! 





****************

Yes there is darkness and bitterness in this version of events that isn't in the main game. This is a 'cursed' timeline. The reason why Deita feels so guilty during the whole game is because she knows it would've been better  for everyone if she had "let the MC go" and get taken to the dungeons in the beginning but she couldn't help herself from wanting to spend more time with the MC regardless.

As you pointed out, the reason why the "gods" brought the MC to this world was to develop their creation. In this case with the addition of 'free will' to determine if and how much freedom to give the people in order to maximize their happiness without recreating the mistakes of the past.

What separates the Villain's side from the main game is that the Villains all use the Transient's One's potential freedom to ultimately double down on their most defining traits/desires. Jeth- irreverence/ambition, mikaylis- protectiveness/insecurity, deita- insight/dodginess. Verses in the main game the companions utilize the 'freedom' to develop and grow in a new way. 

Therefore the gods may be less opposed to the Transient One staying in the world if their creations are developing in a positive way. The bitter endings of this game are not intended/planned to be directly mirrored in the main game.
