Ok, so… because I was curious about who the ROs were, I paused in the middle of a meeting with my chosen Deity to see if your Tumblr had a full list of them. And, if it weren’t just after 5am, I’d have BURST OUT LAUGHING.
I went into this game with no prior knowledge to it, having seen a post about it on Tumblr, and I ended up choosing to worship the romanceable deity!!! This is so funny to me! I actually can’t express how much this coincidence amuses me! It’s hilarious! …I’ll admit, I chose him because he seemed lonely, despite being a god. My MC, Belladonna (because I’m a nerd and thought that would be funny), is a Keeper-Muse and I like Bard archetypes so he called to me in a weird way that the other deities didn’t. Even if there is one for the arts.
I paused on the scene segment where (Flirt) options were presented. I was so startled by the idea of flirting with my god, that I as a character worship, that I had to set the score straight. Anyway, back to my first play through!
~Sometime Later~
Oof-- Almost refers to Faeteus… darn. Oh well, I can deal. Multiple Saves in WIPs are there for this very reason! maybe
I was dealing quite maturely. But then I think I finally realised that “Save 0” is just your most recent save file. So, I accidentally saved my new Faeteus save over my “Romance Clean” save which I was gonna use for Donni and Pan. So… I need to take a sec typing this before I begin ALL OVER AGAIN FOR THE SECOND TIME. [Glares through time and space at my past self for being a dolt.]
~A Little Later~
Aaaaand I should’ve recalled that the characters’ relationships with each other would play a factor. Of COURSE Donni wouldn’t be interested in an MC that’s with Pan, someone he’s not terribly close to. Magda, someone he’s known for as long as he’s known MC that he also cares about? Totally! Elysia, his former friend whom he has tried to help over the course of their long, pointless lives? Maybe, probably not! Pan? Why?! ARGH! [Bops self for being a dolt again.]
…screw it, I’ll neaten this up later. I’ll probably make a Pan + Lys save, a Faeteus save, and a Donni save. Pan and Lys because, hey, they’ve already spent practically their entire lives together. Why not be together romantically too? No Unlucky Childhood Friends for this lost! Polytriade for the win! But, since Faeteus is adamant about being MC’s only paramour and I’m not romantically interested in Magda, the other two shall be monogamous.
I usually feel tedium set in if I restart more than once, but I really didn’t. I wanted to see how these relationships would be affected if I made different choices. I could feel the impact of each relationship and each choice I made pertaining to them. I think you’re doing a brilliant job.
I love everyone we were introduced to, either as a character or as a person.
I played as the eldest girl of four orphans (Elder brother, younger brother and sister), abandoned by our parents for reasons I know not, adopted by Pan’s mums, working as a Keeper-Muse, and wielding Healing Magick (Primary) and Daggers (Secondary). Pan + Lysandra and Donni run throughs, her name in Belladona Baccae (literally meaning Belladona Berries) and in Faeteus’ route she will be Belladona Amour as her own quiet way of saying she’s essentially the god of Luck, Love and Time’s “love”. That is a massive sentence. But that’s just how customizable you made the MC! Freaking KUDOS.
Is it obvious I love your game, yet? Should I try harder to display this? I need to draw my MC. I need to draw Lys and Pan. ARGH, I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH. I shall be following you on Tumblr shortly!
