thank you for your answers.

to (1): to you mean the scene where you can either go to the professor or go with welling to the training yard? because at this point i could only choose between those two options. i assume it means, i cant choose to attack venali when he talks about the corruption in the kingdom, right? in that case, which other option would lead my MC to the dean?

my small suggestion: it wasnt clear to me, that triv is connected to venali. maybe i missed some passage ingame. so maybe you could add something to the characters description here on itch, e.g. "they are (good) friends with triv/venali". or maybe i was really just blind.

Of course! Anytime you have questions just throw them at me lol. I don’t mind.

(1) Oh, you don’t need to go to the dean! When you’re given the chance to visit different locations in Braum, make sure you go to the town square and see Venali. That’s the first time you really get to speak to them. Then later, when you awaken and need guidance on how to manage it, you will have the options of professor Elanil, Welling, and Venali all unlocked. When you choose to approach Venali, Triv will ask to join. This will later unlock the canterberry festival with Triv.

I know this sounds like a lot, but I wanted the character interactions to feel more organic. Venali is very much in their own bubble and their interest doesn’t peak easily. So, you’ll need to be the first to initiate. Triv is a massive introvert. Their only friend at that point is Venali and so the only way to begin any kind of dynamic with them is when they can first have a friend in proximity for reassurance.

(2) A lot of the narrative is shared through interaction and so I kind’ve liked the idea of people learning with their MC rather than me directly telling them.

since you mentioned triv being an introvert, does this mean their relationship will increase slower? e.g. at the point of the festival i had 50% with welling, will i have around the same % with triv at this point? and yes, i have a bit of FOMO interms of relationships not only in IF´s but also in RPG-games.

I wouldn’t say it’ll increase slower, but rather, it’ll develop differently. All the character’s relationships progress at different rates. Triv is tentative whereas Welling actively pursues a friendship/romance with the MC from the start. I don’t want you to feel FOMO though! However you play the prologue, there will always be opportunities to change dynamics once you reunite at the Golden Academy. People often don’t connect during childhood, but then grow close when they’re older and vice versa.
