Demo Update: Chapter 2
Hello everyone! Chapter 2 is finally, finally, FINALLY here! Boy oh boy this took much longer to get all written up than I would’ve liked, but (lucky me!) the time passed anyway, and now—yippee! Another update is here.
For any new readers, hi! My name is Ray, and I’m the author of Deux à Deux. For a more in-depth introduction to the game, please see my Tumblr’s masterpost or the post at the start of this thread. And of course, for any returning readers—hi! I hope you like the update, and thank you for sticking around 
As always, all feedback (good and bad!) is both welcome and deeply deeply appreciated! This chapter, I would especially like to hear if any scenes and/or conversations feel out of place tonally within the overall story (or if any dialogue feels out of character), or feel as though they end abruptly. Typo finding is always a huge help as well. Other than that, though, any other thoughts you have I would love love love to hear about! I of course, even just reading along is hugely appreciated <3
In this chapter…
- Take on some new job responsibilities…for a few weeks, anyway.
- Hone your boxing skills! (You’ll need them.)
- Cross paths with a certain red-scarfed stranger again.
- Design a cocktail menu, picking four drinks from a list of fabulous options (in my not-so-humble opinion) OR choose the theme for a large event.
- Get to know the existing cast of characters a little more.
- Get to know some new characters—most of whom you’ll meet under less than ideal circumstances.
- Find out just how deeply enmeshed you’ve become in something way above your paygrade.

I also found a pronoun mistake for Minh here? It’s on the scene where You visited the Lyons’ home and after you talk about the events planning with Natasha.

OOOOH THANK YOU!! very good catch, i shall fix this for the big chapter patch in a week or so! and HAHAH yes it def goes from 0 to 60, this is def the chapter where it makes sense why i call it a thriller hahahah!
Great update!
Also, I think this part could be a bug? My MC was responsible with planning the event and was not staying at the bar.

Can’t wait to see other POV’s to see what they are thinking about and the bar couple their POV would be interesting I’m just throwing ideas but I can’t stop playing this story

AHHH THANK YOU oml that bug 
thank u for showing me!! i shall fix in the next patch, the typo as well!
a few other replies im catching up on:
coincidentally enough, chapter 3 is actually going to start with the first section of the game told from a POV that’s not the PC’s! but unfortunately, it won’t be a common occurrence for the game to give other POVs (and it won’t be a scene the PC will have seen/been a part of). im so happy to hear that youve been enjoying the game so much though!!!
this is so sweet 
thank you so much!!
HAHAHHA cliffhanger indeed, sorry!! (kind of…a small wicked writerly part of me loves ending on a wild note though heheh) glad you enjoyed it so far :))
yeah ronnie is canonically just a cutie. thank you for playing!!! :))
im so glad you like the characters and rhe story so far!! also, i think this might be the first compliment (aka not “oh my god he’s horrible”) ive ever heard about evil allen!! 
somehow, somewhere, a very very evil manager is swelling with pride…

I can’t be the only one hoping/aiming for our PC becoming the unicorn for the Lyonses? Gods I hope this becomes an option.
