This game is. WOW. You know, you go into something for cute romance, and you leave forty five minutes later with tears in your eyes and you're still unsure what the hell happened. I'm gonna need to replay this and mull over the discussions more. LIKE WHAT THE HELL. This is unforgettable in the most poignant of ways.
“A little.” I had of course been told some things. Enough to get by. But Belladonna didn’t ask questions just to ask them. There was something bigger that I was missing and she wanted me to know.
There was clear disappointment in her eyes when she looked at the people around her. “Honestly. I would have assumed the two of you would have told them,” she said to both Milo and Hazel. Hazel looked away while Milo turned his ire to her.
“It was ten years ago and has no baring on today.”
“Doesn’t it?” She raised a perfectly arched brow at him, challenging him with the barest of moves. “Gates are opening, and we don’t know why. We are searching for the Gatekeeper and the Barons are surly trying to flush them out. And, a bloody downfall is sure to ensue if we continue to operate in such terms of secrecy. Or do you think that history can just repeat itself with the same set of rules and have an entirely different outcome.”
I thought back on the people I had met so far. Sweet Hazel and her almost need to help me. Milo, a rakish sort who looked at home in the dirty streets of the Night Market. Gabriel, a staunch man who looked at me as if I had broken a rule, but he just hand’t figured out which yet. All of them had offered to help me in various ways. Even Belladonna had. Why were these people going out of their way for me though?
Oh, also there's a small typo when talking to Belladona:
Something clicked into place then. It slotted together in a way that left me feeling invigorated. I was not a mistake. Someone had brought me here with a purpose, and that meant they could return me home.
"Sounds like I need to go find whoever placeme in this market to begin with.” Maybe it was the Gatekeeper. Maybe it was someone else. I didn’t care. I only wanted answers.
Thanks so much for fixing the "I was just finishing up orders bug!" However, right after that, I think I encountered a bug with Gabriel, where I didn't get any text.
I'm sorry for the late response; I don't check Itch.io often. However, this bug still persists for me. I've cleared my cache and tried restarting multiple times. I've attached a list of my choices here:
In Chapter One I ended up running away from everyone on my own and locked Milo in a cage, and I don't think I saw anything like brooms or wisps. Milo was there playing cards though.
"And what if that little charade was all part of my grand scheme to get you to trust me? Will you still be glad to have gone out with me tonight when I have my fangs at your throat, sucking your life away?" Her tone is so ridiculous that it couldn't be anything but sarcasm.
WHY IS THIS MORE HORNY THAN THE FLIRTING DIALOGUE.
...I'm so sorry for all my comments. Like, this all just looks so negative. Eugh. I love this story so much, and I'm not even saying anything! Rylan my beloved...
Also, "It's a mandatory meeting after all" in 3.20 got repeated. Also I think there should be a space after the sentence in which you run a hand through your hair in the same chapter? Ugh, so sorry that all I have are bugs and not enough compliments. I'm too involved right now to think of good compliments.
I'm so sorry that my first comment here is a bug (because I played this before and loved it, but never said anything), but here's a bug on the sarcastic option right at the start.
It's interesting how I knew exactly what all these pieces are, huh. It's not too subtle. But it hits, kinda. I wanted to be able to tell Luna that I was trans too, at the end.
Just found this game. Absolutely in love. This is an absolutely fantastic piece of writing, and I usually detest reading "you" in fanfic. Just. Wow. This is amazing.
