To be fair, I’m sure mc knows that true “revenge” for their perceived undue treatment is impossible. Killing and death as we know it don’t really apply to beings like the messenger. Where could one even begin to torture it? How would you even know you’d harmed it?

Do we know that? Not beyond a shadow of a doubt. That shadow is very much there.
“If it bleeds…”
This is amazing, I loved the update, and I cannot wait to see more!

The MC is honestly one of my favourite MCs in IF ever. I honestly love how strange and inhuman we can choose to act, they’re such a silly guy. I read somewhere on the tumblr blog that the MC is a preexisting character in Lovecraft’s world, so I wonder who is it? I don’t personally have much knowledge on this subject, but this story piqued my interests and I really want to learn more. I really like the settings of this IF, can’t wait to find out more about the world, the characters and MC’s past.

What’s one universe in a multiverse? Less space to pollute is a good thing, and Cthulhu deserves credit for that.

The yellow trench coat is a bit of a give away. But if you wanna know who the MC is based off of they’re: Hastur also known as The King in Yellow.

I absolutely adore this game! I love leaning into inhuman psychology. I’m also stunned I hadn’t realized who the MC actually was even though I love eldritch mythos. I re-read this game when I have spare time because it’s so fun.

Love this, was obsessed and I didn’t even know the MC was the King of Yellow till I checked the thread. Great work! Really loved the dreamwalking with the artist. They’re very cute.

Ooh, glad to see this one still getting worked on, and 100k at that! I must admit, I didn’t notice at firs, I saw the title and said “hey didn’t that date used to say- oh wait, it’s been updated!”

Very pleased to see this story update again! I’ve missed my weird little artist friend.
Some minor errors I caught
When Roulet asks for a kiss, it gives the option “Indulge her.” even though my Roulet is male. The choice also has quotation marks when it isn’t dialogue.
After choosing to remove the bandages, the options for going quick vs slowly seem to link to their opposites.
The choice after removing the bandages, “I have done.” also feels incomplete or a little awkwardly phrased, I feel like “I am done.” is more natural sounding.
Some typos:
“By the time you return to the Opera House the has already set.”
missing the word “sun” I assume
“Getting rid of the body thought is not as easy.”
should be “though”
“He them vehemently denies any artistic or deviant intentions.”
should be “then”

Thank you!
(“I have done” I’ve seen a lot in old books, used in exactly the sense of “Yep, I’m done with this BS”, and I like it. It also fits the MC to use language from different time periods.)
I’ve fixed everything else. Thank you!
