Yay it works!

Hello, I was wondering if I missed the link being posted :) If u were too busy to get around to it no worries! I just feel it’s such a shame if the previous version were to be lost.

I read the game when it was first posted on cog, then again when it was rewritten in twine. I was shocked at the leap in quality in the rewrite. In the IF world there’s this strange phenomenon where every time an IF gets rewritten it plummets in quality. It happened to Freak Amongst the Neon Lights, Fool Me Once, and many more. This was the first exception I had seen. The grammar and pacing issue I noticed on the first demo was entirely fixed, and the prose was much better.

But this recent rewrite, well. It didn’t replicate that magic. The dialogue feels very robotic, the characters less alive, and the prose like an emotionless log of things that happened.

I heard you were planning on changes to the plot, but there are many areas where the gist of the dialogue and prose is the same, just… drained of soul.

As someone struggling to reconnect with my own Wip and with the expectations of fans I understand it’s not easy, but I hope the re-rewritten scenes get another miraculous glow up I now know you’re capable of making.

Mac can’t run the ‘all in one’ file form. I’ve only ever been able to run renpy games when there’s a separate downladable for mac.

Same here. The ‘all in one’ download forms have Never worked for mac and yet some devs continue to use it.

I love this story!! All the characters (boths ROs and non ROs) are so charming and intriguing. The writing is very engaging – had me throw my hands up in disappointment when I met the ‘end of demo’ page.

“The relationships were purely physical. You’re no stranger to sex, and that’s all you wanted from them.”

Does this lock you out of romance? I’ll bite the bullet and choose the second option if I have to, but I don’t want to cuz it’s out of character for my mc to have wanted to have gone deeper with anyone they’ve met so far, what with the iredicci genocide thing :/

edit: Oooh I code dived and it seems it only tracks being a virgin. Awesome!

Awesome. Love the sex mechanics in this game!

Yay thank you!!

Is the previous version gone forever? I would be overjoyed if it was made available for access separately.

Mine stops at chapter one act six. Is this normal?

The game seems to stop while talking to the doctor. Is this a bug or where it ends currently..?

👍

There seems to be a bug. I can proceed with my cis male mc but cannot with my trans man mc after the graduation ceremony.

Awesome game! Unexpectedly detailed writing and fun lore, and I love the UI and game mechanics.

Fun!

Amazing character interaction and dialogue! All the characters are so vibrant with personality.

Keyboard isn’t working on browser.

It felt very disco elysium. Beautiful.

Oh yeah, I just wanted to comment as a "I knew it" if it turns out to be true, but (spoilers) IO is In Out Device (input/output) isn't it lol

Bug 1. When choosing wallet for ghost touched objects, the options to tell or force Lars to stop doesn't work. They all just lead to "watch in silence".

Bug 2. If you choose "you don't turn down a free meal" and choose "tell the truth" when Lars asks why, it doesn't let you tell the truth. It just says "You only shrug, deciding on a non-answer."

Bug 3. "He hadn't been surprised when they'd refused to take hold of one of the death-touch items." This didn't happen.

Hello I'm really enjoying the updates. I found a consistency bug though;

How else are you going to explain why you know Maeve and have been talking to her for weeks?”

There's a route where you simply never talk to Maeve again after establishing you can't trust each other on the second meeting. The story doesn't reflect this at all after this point.

I've literally said it could be a mixed culture situation. And that I Could keep the name. You're the one who implied letting people know the family speaks Spanish beforehand sounds like you're saying " you better go and make them Hispanic". I did not say you're assuming people should make a Hispanic character. I said the fact that you assume that's what people would think reveals you know the information is something that would affect a person into making a Hispanic character.

You can't pretend this isn't information that affects an MC's identity. Something a lot of people would like to know about their MC before already forming an identity for them. If the family was introduced early on in the story, this would not be a problem.

As I said, it's a premise. All other premises is in the introduction of your story. You don't want to add that premise even as an offhand in the introduction part because you don't want to come off as saying  "oh, hey you can speak Spanish so you better go and make them Hispanic". What I've said is it does not do that.

The fact that you assume someone knowing the MC is from a Spanish speaking family would imply you want the MC to be Hispanic shows you know that information would influence a player into making a Hispanic MC. Note that I didn't say that anywhere in my comment.

I Can't do anything I want with my MC because canon information like them being from a Spanish speaking family exists. I could keep the Korean name and headcanon that they're adopted, but I can't play as them being from a Korean family. And that's a good thing if I was informed of it.

People make MCs based on some unchangeable facts the story provides of them. Those are part of a basic premise. The premise is already set. Informing people of the premise doesn't "force" them to do anything they aren't already forced to.

(This is "I", btw. From your server, if you remember.)

Still doesn't say anywhere in the beginning that MC's from a Spanish speaking family... Why not add that little tidbit in the features? Saves people from having to redesign their MCs and restart the game once you hit the memory scene.

noo my save is gone

Incredible. I can't believe I didn't know about this IF. It's a uniquely (for an IF) dystopian setting more commonly found in good novels. The writing is amazing!

I wish there was an option for nonbinary mcs to input their sex. I feel like it misses a lot of detail (like whether mc has experienced pregnancy.

I squealed at the teruvash on the shelf

Hello, the description refers to MC as her despite it being gender selectable.

Thanks! Yeah, it mentions it later in the story iirc so it helps for me to know in the beginning to build my character :)

Can someone tell me which mc is the older sibling? I forgot. Last time I played it it messed up my entire playthrough because I assumed the older mc was younger (or the opposite?) and built my character that way.

I meant releasing the one in the cell :)

awesomesauce

Would be nice if there was an option to turn off time delay.

I think I forgot how to use the activated ball to release the wyrm :'( What's the next step after recharging the ball??

Is it just me, why is the text gigantic

I love all the Nyx games I've tried and it's so relaxing to come back to it whenever I'm stressed.

Oh~

There goes my fatherly dreams / -\ ~

I wish there was an option to be called father for priest mcs when it comes to mr/ms/mx choice.
