I've been following this game from back when the artstyle was different, who knows who long ago that was. Great to see everything is almost finished. Been a long time.
*Spoilers alert*
I finished Spencer's route and then Darius's route. I found it odd that Spencer's relationship with Darius is easier to fix on Darius's route, than on Spencer's route. Also sad for Spencer because Darius's route creates a love triangle-like situation that resolves with the good ending (MC chooses Darius). Might be too late for a suggestion, but a love triangle does sound fun.
Also would be nice if we could "discover" that Spencer was working in the strip club on Darius's route. Darius went to the strip club for amateur night or something on Spencer's route. I was expecting something similar to happen when on Darius's route. But nothing ever did happen and we never found out.
Anyway, after playing both of their routes, it seems that they're more destined for each other than with the MC. Even though it was written like they ended their relationship some time ago, it sort of feels like the MC is just getting in-between a budding relationship that just went into "stasis." More noticeable on Darius's route and I'm not sure why it is written that way. Sort of puts me off, a little, especially when Spencer gets sad.
I'll try finishing the other routes when I have more time, though I did try them back when things were more incomplete.
Now enough yapping from me.
Thank you very much for making a fantastic game for everyone to enjoy. Good to see it make it to the finish line after all this time. I'll be patiently waiting for the final version.
If you really want to remove black hearts without having replay parts of the game. You can just cheat.
Steps:
1) Download RPAextract.exe
2) Extract Archive.rpa from the /game folder
3) Edit the file options.rpy with a file editor of your choice. I use Notepad++ but you can use anything that opens this type of file. Add in the line "config.console = True." Save and then close your file editor. Make sure you didn't use tab to edit the file. Only use the spacebar to add spaces.
4) Launch the game as per normal.
5) Press Shift+O to open the python console. Then type "logan_relation.love" to find the value. If you have one black heart, it should be -1. Simply change the value to 0 by typing. "logan_relation.love = 0." Do note that while this solves the black heart issue, it might / will break future interactions with Logan.
6) If you're not comfortable with all of this, then ignore everything I wrote and replay the game to avoid getting a black heart. Remember to save often.
There are four parts of the nightmare when you are your house. You need to go through all of them first. The 4th nightmare requires you to talk to the witch for mind protection. If you have completed all the tasks in the Iron Blood village and seen the 4th nightmare, there will be a new mission related to Groth scouting. It is in this mission that you will encounter the nameless.
If you really wanted change your path you don't need to edit the save file. But it will still time consuming, basically you'd need to extract the files from the archive. Look at the relevant .rpy files and find the variables that need to be changed. Once you know what needs to be changed. Modify the options.rpy to include a line to enable the console and change those variables while in-game. Of course if you mess with the variables it might break your game so change them at your own risk. The safest option (and most boring) is to just read the text in the .rpy files if you really want to know what happens.
