Not looking for a direct sequel (too complicated!) but I hope you write more stories like Creme de la Creme and Blood Money - intrigue is great in text-games and your two really shine

I’m imagining an Emma Goldman like figure.

@HarrisPS, if it is not too much trouble, I was just wondering about a certain question.
When it comes to a suitable option for gaining wealth, which one would be more beneficial? Should the PC take the internship with Jerome Clay and continue with that career track for a high income? Would it be better in the long-term if the PC were to go to Gessner University, graduate, then try for some suitable, high-paying career?
I really enjoyed the book
Its too awesome!!
I was wondering…
Author are you planing to make second book? Or the book is just a solo book?
That’s amazing. I hadn’t heard of her but having skimmed some bits about her, I want to know more!
@Gadriel Any of those routes are good and respected! In terms of game mechanics there are a few advantages to each but they’re roughly equivalent in terms of what doors are opened.
@Aeronox There aren’t any plans for sequels currently. If I was to make something related, it would most likely have a different main character. I’m really glad you enjoyed playing!

Enjoyed the story, though I was a little disappointed that I got to succeed both as a star athlete and academic ace in my first playthrough. The reason I came back to this thread, though, is that this game has updated TWICE since I bought it, but I can’t find any info on why.
What changed?

Most likely bug fixes. That’s usually the only reason games update after publication.

Yep, what @trevers17 said. One major fix, several minor ones, and a couple of minor clarifications.

Is anyone planning to make a guide for this game? Or at least give some hints? I have no idea how to take down Lady Renaldt, she always gets away with her schemes in my playthroughs.
This is what I usually do to get Lady Renaldt sacked from Gallatin at the end, but keep in mind that this is only one way to do it and there are probably others: My character had high Virtue and Popularity stats and A grades. I let my character be taken to the mines by refusing to work with Lady Renaldt, then escaped with Blaise and Mr. Blanchard by working hard enough to impress the miners and convincing them to let us go. I then chose to speak quietly to Ms. Dalca and Mr. Griffith, then to the inspector before choosing to attend graduation.

Hey! I just finished the game, and I have a couple of doubt.
I didn’t understand the options regarding of romantic relationship, I believe there is four: Romantic, platonic, flings and none of the above. I really wanted to be open of any kind of relationship, but the option in the beginning confused me even more (here: what — ImgBB) The first option is pretty committed, the second one is more romantic than having flings, the third one (and the one I chose) I interpreted that both type of relationship are accessible, and the rest were non-romantic option.
All through the gameplay I feel like I missed certain interactions, and I want to know if it is true.
Another problem more than a doubt: My mc started the get flirty with Hartmann just because I felt like it, but really early on he asked me if we were serious, there weren’t an option in the middle, or the mc was exclusive to him or they remained friends…which I didn’t want any, I thought it was really early to decided and I wanted to talk to the other characters. After that interaction, I never had another flirty interaction with him, and when the game asked me if I wanted to spend time with someone special he was never in the list.
The last scene with the Handmann family it was such missed opportunity to start something with him. It felt so nice knowing his little brothers and being outside the college ambience. it would have been nice to have a reconnecting scene.
Ending the game with an anticlimactic finale was a little downfall, I wanted to start a relationship or get engaged but wasn’t an opportunity to let the game known.
But, I love the game. I’m so invested now

Hm, with all things being approximately equal when it comes to future opportunities for extremely lucrative careers, between Jerome Clay’s internship and Gessner University, well, it is no question for my character. Gessner University wins every single time without a doubt.
Learning has always been a foremost priority for my character, quite fitting seeing as Wit has always been her strongest skill. She graduated from Harrovian School, after all, so she has been honed in the academic crucible from the very start, intense indeed considering that students in Harrovian School have actually collapsed from health problems during the exam period. As a matter of fact, she not only survived the academic rigor of Harrovian School, she thrived in that environment, considering she earned the highest marks in the exams for her year.
Compared to Harrovian School, Gallatin was a metaphorical piece of cake where the course grades and exam marks were concerned. If she survived and thrived in Harrovian School, my character was not going to do anything less than the same again in Gallatin. Her professional and academic pride would allow nothing less. Every single time without fail, she earns A for her course grades and A+ for the exam marks. Even if she were to incur Lady Renaldt’s displeasure by protecting one of the teachers and thus suffer a penalty in the exam marks, my character always does well enough that she would still earn A+ for the exams even with a potential reduction from Lady Renaldt.
Still, Gallatin was not as academically focused as Harrovian School, something which my character could not help but find disappointing. As such, my character is very much looking forward to Gessner University and a return to the academic focus and rigor that she has known and even enjoyed all her life in Harrovian School. Gessner University will push her even further than Harrovian School did where academics are concerned, and she is very much looking forward to rising to the challenge and earning top marks once again, just like she did in Harrovian School and then Gallatin.
As to Blaise, well, given how my character always resolves the final situation, Blaise will be completing her final year in Harrovian School. My character will probably exchange a few letters with Blaise, if only for the sake of courtesy and civility, but frankly, she will never count Blaise as a friend, though she might reluctantly come to eventually see Blaise as a friendly acquaintance. Given how impulsive Blaise is as well as the fact that she does not seem to be the most academically focused, well, my character harbors some private doubts about how well Blaise will manage in such an academically focused and rigorous environment as Harrovian School, far more so than she was accustomed to in Gallatin. Still, it has nothing to do with her, so my character ends that line of thought with a mental shrug and dryly wishing Blaise good luck in Harrovian School, as well as noting that Blaise had best keep quiet about her attempt to have my character expelled from Gallatin, seeing as my character was quite beloved in Harrovian School by students and teachers alike, made even more so by her earning the highest exam marks.

To me it has the opposite effect. The internships are an once in a lifetime opportunity, I doubt you will be able to find those two opportunities again. While if you go to internships, you can always go to Gessner after you finish it.
So to my character the opportunity to see the wonders of the world, something that very few people will be able to do, trumps everything. So he goes with Beatrix’s expedition.

Re the choices linked, I’ve always seen them as where on the sexuality/romance spectrum your character lay - second is asexual, third is possibly demisexuality / not wanting to sleep with someone straight away, fourth is aromantic and fifth is asexual aromatic. Really I’d imagine only the fifth one locks you completely out of a romance if any (never picked it).
Hartmann in particular wants monogamy only and doesn’t take well to the MC playing the field as such, which is probably why they confronted you (and why there was no option to have a middle ground). Other characters are far more open to being more casual - you can marry a Archambault student while romancing them on the side, or enter a triad with 2 Gallatin students.
My main mc would may try to transfer to a university in Zaledo after his forced “sabbatical” instead of attending Gessner, both to be closer to his fiancee but also to get to know Zaledo and build his own social network there. Gessner is still a valid backup plan though.
For my other mc the chance to become a dashing adventurer archaeologist is just too good to pass up though.

Hello, I’m so glad you’re generally enjoying the game!
@mumismatist is right that the options from the screenshot set whether you’re asexual and/or aromantic. The third option, “It’s unlikely that I’d want to sleep with someone, though it might happen. But I’d enjoy romance with the right person”, sets the MC as asexual and romantic. Being asexual in the game does not lock you out of kissing or sleeping with someone but it does lock you out of Florin’s relationship (as they’re not interested in a non-sexual relationship).
It sounds like you ended up breaking up with Hartmann during that conversation. Hartmann leans towards monogamy and serious romance straight away, and if you dance romantically with them at the Winter Ball they’ll always express that.
If you want to play the field a bit more before, or instead of, settling down with Hartmann there’s the option of going with someone else to the Winter Ball and starting the Hartmann romance during the Festival of the Birds. You can even start a romance with Hartmann during the engagement season chapter if you’ve been friends for the rest of the game. Or explore other romances and friendships if they catch your eye

We’re two weeks post launch! So … it’s time for another character trivia session, and we’re going to talk Hartmann, since they’re the next on both sets of poll results!
Hartmann is a Capricorn 
…and is an ISTJ, the Logistician: Introverted, Sensing, Thinking, Judging
…and I would cast Chloe Grace Moretz, Jake Abel, or Bex Taylor-Klaus
Hartmann is the eldest of three, with two younger brothers. They grew up in a very beautiful country house with an estate on the Westerlind coastline, and at least one of their parents attended Gallatin College as Head Prefect. Hartmann has always been very focused on that goal; they actually ran against Blaise, but won by a wide margin.
