I really enjoyed the game!! The music was really fitting as well.
My favorite endings are probably ending 5 (it was interesting to see his reaction) and ending 7 haha
thanks! :)
the ending guide is linked here. currently there are two cassian endings: Little Witch (bad end 2) and A Little Bird's Cage (bad end 3).
to get the extra CG in bad end 3, you have to tell cassian you planned everything when prompted
hii Yona thanks for the comment again!
About the lamb..
MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW
Yepp, the Lamb was intentionally trying to meet the Wolf. It's implied that he comes from a well-off background (his clothing, lack of awareness, etc.), which is why the MC assumes he's sheltered and unaware of the danger around him.
He knew about the serial killer because the Wolf was already well-known in the area for only targeting young (and attractive) men. While no one actually knows whether the murders were committed by the same person or multiple, the townspeople and the newspapers began referring to the killer as "The Wolf", an umbrella term.
It isn't explicitly explained through the MC's limited interactions with the Lamb, but based on his bad ending you can infer that he's unhealthily obsessed with the idea of the serial killer/the Wolf, to the point of leaving behind victims or even trying to seek the Wolf out himself.
To increase the chances of meeting the Wolf, he deliberately acts like the "perfect victim" (spraining his leg, keeping up an innocent act, etc.).
The logic behind the good and bad endings in the Lamb's route is determined by how much the MC is also "acting". For example, if the MC tells the Lamb they're gathering herbs instead of claiming to be lost, he'll be more inclined to believe the MC is the Wolf later on.
Despite being a wolf dressed in sheep’s clothing, the Lamb is just a naive young man who's obsessed with the idea of the Wolf.
That's why if the MC really was another victim lost in the woods, then he had no reason to doubt it (if you chose to lie). But if the MC was the Wolf, then he wouldn't care whether what MC said was true or not, since he found what he was looking for. So the choices in the Lamb's route were just about convincing him you were the Wolf before finally admitting it at the end
thank youu ♡
yepp i can see that!
the reason why cassian is a lot more playful when the MC is undisguised is because he only behaves that way to the witch.
when the MC disguised herself, cassian genuinely didn’t recognize her.
he thought she was an ordinary person, so he was a lot colder and threatened to kill everyone around them that witnessed her abilities. i added this scene to subtly show how differently he treated other people. afterwards, he threw the disguised MC into prison before finally realizing her identity when her hair came loose. that’s when he started flirting/being playful in the prison scene.
if the MC chooses to go out without a disguise, cassian will immediately recognize the witch and will switch to his playful personality from the start. he “tests” her despite already knowing her identity because he is curious if the witch is aware of who he is, and he believes she is fun to tease.
in general, whenever cassian knows he’s interacting with the witch, he isn’t actually hostile to her (though it may seem that way in his secret ending)!
for the full game, i’m estimating around 7 days! thanks once again for your thoughtful comment ♡
hii thank you so much for sharing your thoughts about the game!! ♡ it means a lot that you’re so invested in the story and the characters!
when i was writing the general outline, i tried to think of all the logical options a player would pick if they really were isekai’d into this story. completely freezing the capital did cross my mind as a potential choice, but the MC was just a regular person that woke up in the body of an ancient witch 2 days ago.
though she might be comfortable creating small illusions or helping ash out, i thought she would be more hesitant to hurt people or escalate things, because she was still figuring out the situation without becoming too involved with the plot of the story.
i may add freezing the capital as an option one day, but it’ll require quite a bit of branching hahaha. it will be interesting to see how that turns out though!
and thanks for pointing out the grammar! sometimes after rereading lines over and over it gets a little hard to notice. i appreciate you taking the time to mention it ♡
