HHHHHHHH THAT'S VERY SWEET I'll be looking forward to seeing what you think about it!! 🥺💕

HELP I DIDN'T GET A NOTIFICATION OR ANYTHING THAT YOU EDITED THIS SO I ONLY JUST SAW THIS NOW BUT I DON'T KNOW WHEN YOU WROTE IT 💦💦💦

I'm so happy you were able to play though!! 💕 lkdajflakdsfa it's... hmmm... I don't wanna say too much because technically in my head I do kinda tie it back to the main game but in a way that gives away a whole bunch 🤣 So yeah for now I'm just saying this is like, a non-canon AU timeline of what the chars would be like if many of the horrors never happened so to speak. That's not to say that everything is perfect and nothing bad ever happened (like clearly Orlam's family issues are the same, Iggy is still plagued by anxiety, etc.) but like. Hmmm. Some of the things that could be made better by the main five themselves made things better, for instance Gidget being accepted by their friends and not torn down by Iggy led to them having more confidence to be themself and push back against their family a bit, Genzou not being such a horrible person to Orlam as kids helped Orlam still grow up with confidence despite his family issues, etc. Is kind of how I see this whole timeline in general lkdajfad

So yes, while Orlam certainly still has a penchant for grandiloquence, fakery, and elaborate lies, it's more in good nature here and a part of his personality rather than like... something actively harmful like it is in the main game. That and he also actually has confidence, friends, a social life, etc., in this version, which is basically his best self.

Sob I'm very glad you liked him though!! He and Gidget were the ones that underwent the most positive evolutions in this game and I just really loved writing them as what are their true selves in my mind and having a lot of fun with them (and being incredibly off the rails at times, too). I'm happy you liked Iggy, too. Iggy didn't change all that much to be honest, at least in his general vibe and approach to life, though this version of him at least has been able to find himself more (though it only comes up in Gidget's route, he at least knows he's ace in this timeline and has already come to terms with himself). He's also just generally on better terms with his friends since the friend group stayed much more in contact in this version, even if he himself has a hard time always keeping up lkadsjflkasd 🤣

At any rate, thank you so much for playing and I'm glad you enjoyed it!! I had a lot of fun with this game and it brought me a lot of joy. I'm really happy if it can bring a little joy to others, too 💕
