You *KNOW* it's gonna be a DOOZY when there's no MC side quest/we jump right in... 🤣
Can I write how much I love your parallels of MC past to what's happening in (present time) episode? You have the shared symbols/themes, of course: the knife; being at an event you're not welcome in; and even the people, as it seems some of those fawning kids are now the (horny)teens at Halloween party.... But there's also differences: MC being ignored in the past and now made painfully visible. 3 people there on MC's side -- even if they don't always know how to show it. And this time - despite having every right: MC not losing control. Especially impressive after James' speech; I was shaking with anger and wanted to strangle bro myself.
Still: Nia (Obsessed) and how the routes differ (romance to rivalmance). I have to give you your flowers because you could have just changed a few words during pool scene, made one 'soft', the other 'angry' -- but each had such utterly different vibes - neither less than the other; physicality vs. emotional. (I certainly wasn't expecting one having them go into the pool and the other not! And the worm for the Birdie - STHAAAP 😍) Same for what Nia says after working on party music--the implication of sex; the implication of love. BOTH had me 🤯🤯 Biggest shock, though, was Nia -- cold, emotionless, 'lie in wait' Nia -- handling an entire James upon seeing his actions to MC. Didn't even hesitate. Hits harder with the 'Do No Harm' aspect; if *that's* not Love.....
Amazing job; excited romances are locked in, as well. 1 of my fav episodes for how much was said without being said. (P.S. Laugh option after James scuffle was the most amazing thing EVER)
Okay I'm a little confused, bear with me, at the end of chapter seven you get a "end of part one" does it refer to the chapter part? I don't know how many chapters this game is supposed to have XD PELASEPLEASEDONTBETHEENDOFITGODICANTTAKEITSTOOGOOD
absolute Incredible game, I especially love the beginning where the MC is talked about as if it was a creature or something else not human. I love the complex relationship the MC has with (in my case) Nia and how incredibly sad everything is, im also in love with all the frequent Flashbacks to the MCs Past.
Great Work and Waiting Exited yet Patiently for more!!!
Wow everything in this update is an emotional physical and mental whiplash but I mean this in the best way because that's exactly what I expected for this story ❤
And the horror is only getting more horrifying because that cliffhanger? Omg
I'm sorry, I do love this IF so don't take this too negatively but that whole party did made me lose a-lot of love I had for the characters, especially for Imre's route.
After everything the MC has gone through, the voice in their head, the "asylum", their family, the bullying and disdain from a whole town? just for all three of them to watch us go through something as horrific as that? None of them came to check on you afterwards, all of them going off to enjoy themselves knowing what just happened, *And then* each one of them berates and treats you like shit afterwards?? When one of them suggested just splitting up and going our separate ways I almost wish it was an option because I really just wanted to crash out on all of them.
The writing is absolutely beautiful though! This isn't a knock against the story at-all, it's phenomenal and the fact the character's can make someone this engaged is amazing!, this is more of a 'Let me pull a Carrie on them all' kinda thing <3
For some reason I’m actually getting itchio notifications now wow! So to clarify a bit, they didn’t actually go enjoy themselves. They went to kick James out, he mentions it.
Although I’d like to say how I see it, if you don’t mind ☺️
I don’t think that just because Crowny went through something bad means that it magically fixes the characters relationships with them. Whatever happened with James isn’t a bandaid. It would be one thing for them to say Crowny got what they deserved. It is another to then have all of them act completely differently to them then they have when there are more deeper things going on. Also an important note is that they start all berating each other, no one dogpiled on Crowny.
I’m sorry I just didn’t know what you expected from these three 😭 its been shown that a) they have their own issues b) not a healthy way to show it thats way they next scene with James is the way they show crowny they care because they’re willing to go to prison as accomplices for them. I feel like that’s a good big step to fix their own relationships, all 4
P.S: I hope you don’t take this as me berating you or anything! I just wanted to give my two cents ♥️
Noo!! It's OK, I totally wouldn't take it that way, I felt the same when I was writing my own post since it's hard to convey meaning over text so I struggled to word it properly it's all good!
I get what you're saying, especially the bit at the end where they come together to protect Crowny (That really clicked for me when I did Lorcan's route and he clarified it as 'our' mess <3) I was more so referring to the bit between what happens with James and the meet up with the whole gang, for instance I did Imre's route and after he pulled his little twist I could imagine how much worse the MC felt, so I tried to speak to the other two with their friendship dialogue's but *both* ended in arguments. At that point I just felt like Crowny was/would feel very isolated and their emotions would be a-lot more all over the place/volatile .
However your reply did clear some of that up and help me understand it better! Especially with how everyone wanted to get there own stuff off of their chest, and of-course with everything else that happened that just wasn't going to be possible, this is just very much me going through all of that arguing/emotional turmoil right before the cliff-hanger!
