itch.io

I have no idea on how to start but SPOILERS AHEAD

okay so, WOW. this is so good? I've been on the lookout for new itch.io games to play but the couple that piqued my interest were, for the most part, abandoned. i cannot express the joy that overtook me when I came across this gem: the lore, characters, setting, DONT GET ME STARTED ON EVELYN (i absolutely adore her),  i love them all! my mc is aligned with fire and I love how it actually affects the gameplay instead of just being an insignificant detail. also, my heart dropped when coda's former identity was revealed. when the camp was destroyed, i kept gaslighting convincing myself that tellus survived. thank GOD that ended up being the case. anyways, i'm really glad he's the secret RO. when the romance lock eventually comes, im gonna have such a difficult time choosing. i have no preference for any character--WHICH IS A GOOD AND BAD THING. good because this means the creator(s? unsure if there's more than one) wrote each RO beautifully, capturing my interest the moment they were introduced. bad because im indecisive as hell. the point is: I love this and can't wait for the next chapter to come.

The style of writing is easily one of my favorites! I'm eagerly looking forward to the next chapter! Most likely, I'll pursue Watson, however, I'm curious to how the detective's dynamic will be with Alder. Nonetheless, keep up the amazing work!

I have a theory! Ever since the Shadow King was introduced, it felt like the MC was connected to him somehow. After the most recent chapter, I have enough evidence to make a proper theory!

SPOILERS / POSSIBLY SOME INACCURATE INFORMATION
The theory is as follows: The Shadow King had a forbidden relationship with a Seelie, conceived the MC, and we were sent away for our own good. It would explain why we couldn't remember anything when Carter found us -- I speculate that the Shadow King did something to erase our memories. Also, this a bit of a stretch, but it would also explain why the king hasn't been to the court in 50 years. Perhaps, the last trial was the Seelie's, and, at the cost of her life, he denied any involvement with her. The king seemed wistful at the end of the recent chapter, possibly regretting his actions at the last trial. Another stretch, but perhaps the Kestrel was a childhood (we aren't given his exact age but I'm assuming he's around ours) friend. This one is much less plausible since I'm going off of one line in our first encounter with him. (something about how he looks familiar???)
