Even though the Underworld was arguably already ruined? Also, my interest in this isn't actually about the Underworld itself. I'm treating that more as a piece of the larger puzzle. If the caretaker was correct in her claim about what he is, I imagine that could have broader implications beyond just the Underworld. Willow could also take advantage of his access, theoretically, to have him retrieve things for her or to try to get information from the well.

There are other ways to approach it that aren't him relying on her to fix a problem, and that don't require her to be able to do anything about the Underworld.

At some point in the game, the dialogue touches on something that could potentially be pretty heavy, but then fails to follow through, using it as throwaway dialogue.
Personally, there's something I would love to see the MC say to Willow at some point. Potential spoilers below.

"Look, I know how this is going to sound, but just hear me out. You remember when I asked for alchemy recipes using ectoplasm? You asked where I got such a thing, and I answered that I died and got it when killing some ghosts. At the time, you took it as a joke. Thing is, I wasn't joking. I don't know why, but for some reason, whenever I die, I wake up in the Underworld with my body and all the items I had on me. What's more strange, the same works in reverse, allowing me to return to the world of the living by dying in the Underworld, bringing with me everything I collected there. While I don't know how much weight to lend the idea, the caretaker of the Forge of Flesh claimed that it was because I was the chosen of some evil God or something. The whole thing sounds insane to me, and I'm the one that experienced it and even have the photos and Underworld alchemy ingredients to prove it."

Of course, there could be variations based on exactly when the conversation takes place, and Willow would likely interject at times. That said, I feel like there's potential there for a story arc exploring the MC's exact nature, and the nature of his connection to the Underworld - something the game seems to largely overlook, currently. It could even play up Willow's role as a Priestess of The One, giving her access to information and resources that would otherwise be unavailable to them, with a number of different ways the arc could potentially play out depending on where you want to go with it.

I only specifically said sorting because I was referencing the sorting system that's currently in the game for the spellbook. I certainly won't complain about an option to filter by element/subcategory.

Any chance we could get official spell subcategories for schools other than elemental? For instance, MC mentions 3 groups that Necromancy spells fall into. Perhaps Necromancy spells can be marked by which of those 3 they fit so that 'Sort element' arranges them accordingly?

Well as an example, the scene in the locker room where you choose between Maya and Kara. Currently if girl dicks is enabled and you choose Kara, Jace will question you and you'll say something like "that's even better". If you have it disabled, you seem to have second thoughts. De-prioritized (or however you want to phrase it) would have you respond more along the lines of "Hmm, not really my thing, but I don't mind. She looks good regardless."

It would be for people that want to go in a xenophilic direction, what with Hailthrons and their horns and tail, but also play the protagonist as being accepting of other races and their anatomy, rather than just their cultures.

Another example could be if you have voyeur enabled and feet de-prioritized. If there's a voyeur scene where the people involved are doing feet stuff it would still play because that's them doing their thing. The protagonist isn't engaging in it, so it's a non-issue one way or another.

I hope that made sense and my explanation wasn't too bizarre. Let me know if you need me to clarify further.

I like that the game lets you enable and disable different types of content right from the beginning, but I wish these content settings came with an option along the lines of "I'm okay with it, but it isn't my preference." A sort of "enabled but de-prioritized" setting, I guess. I feel like it would help make the protagonist more nuanced and allow players a more customized experience.

Any chance we can get something like this at some point?

I'm having the same issue, except that I'm not seeing it pop up anything at all. The itch app acts like it's running, but meanwhile outside the app there's just nothing unless I directly run the exe or a shortcut to it.

Quick heads up: The PC file not having its platform marked in the same way as the Mac and Android files prevents those of us on Windows from being able to download it using the itch desktop app, and unfortunately the app currently doesn't seem capable of manually adding games downloaded via other means. (Basically, if a game doesn't have a manifest file, typically auto-generated by the app when installed through the app, the app doesn't recognize it when scanning.)
