WHAT! there was two diffrent KGBs?! Mind Blown
Also, in the Grecee assassin sequence, the text for one of the first scenes just cuts off abruptly- I don’t have the exact passage, but the last words were “blood splatter” (and no dot at the end!).

sorry if that’s too much work for you.

The files have been updated (again) with some additional content, including a gender choice. Tell me how that feels. It’s light, but I don’t want to make the different genders too big of a story element since it really doesn’t come to play too often.
I’ve also fixed what was mentioned above.
@valentine_v_daygirl It’s in now. However, I haven’t made it a running tally. Jacques Martin, the man you meet in the Epilogue, will comment on your body count right at the start of the debrief.

Bug report: After taking a train from Sofia and answering the border guard, the scene abruptly shifts to conversation with our favorite Greek information broker, without any transition scene in between.
Another: “0” in ““Good evening,” you greet the valet rushing to open the car 0door for you, another valet getting the door for Evony.”
And another: [spoiler]Not gender dynamic and double first name (may be hard to adapt for undetermined gender): "“Hold on,” she says and breaks the looming silence. “Vepkhia, honey, I know him. He’s the one who saved me in Rome.”
“This guy?”
“Yes. Please, Sophie Sophie, meet Vepkhia Jishkariani,” Evony hurries to stand between you and the burly round-faced man with a haphazardly shaven face."[/spoiler]
I’ll give general feedback when I am done reading, thanks for the update

Damn you’re good. Thank you!
I’ve updated with the fixed files.
Right, this is what I think:
I liked the lengthier prologue, makes for a smoother change of pace and a gentler introduction.
The dynamic gender is nice, and already better than before (IMO) - given the time period, I would have emphasised the gender it a bit more (eg. in the casino scene), but I understand that you do not want to make a huge part of it.
What I missed is any sort of reaction the day after, uhm, “consoling” poor Evony - the conversation that plays out is similar, if not identical (at least I couldn’t spot any differences) whether or not MC “helped” (wink wink) her cope with the events of the previous night. I’d have at least expected a comment about that - or even better, a more awkward/romantic conversation as a whole (leaning for the former) - future interactions could be a bit different as well (a bit longer gaze in the next hotel etc. - subtle changes, but enough to signify that Evony is willing to meet MC after the whole thing is over).
I don’t know if I just didn’t meet any conditions or whatever, but not all achievements seem to be working (eg. Ghost). The Covert/Overt and Charm/Malice sliders don’t seem to be moving as well - perhaps you could consider removing them, as I do not think they play any meaningful role?
As for the concept itself, as much as I liked The Golden Eagle (which has an amazing setting BTW. - not often that time period is used in non-historical fantasy), I would like to see some more of stories similar to Diamant Rose. One of the user proposed them to be Bond-style (albeit more grounded in reality) vignettes - with the same MC and time period, but completely different characters and setting, maybe save for a few recurring ones (Scorpio, for example). I’d like to know what happened in Estonia!

The romances aren’t very well fleshed out, I agree. That’s probably the next thing I shall tackle.
Another thing is the covert/overt and charm/malice scores. They do have an effect later on, but not to the degree that I would like. They’re supposed to be bonuses for the MC if they’ve been consistent throughout the story. Essentially, if you have a low talking stat but you’ve been choosing options that increase your charm, you’ll have an easier road ahead when you try persuading people. But unlike talking, which stays the same throughout, you can have the charm score fluctuate a lot during the story. That will need more work in getting that to work in the way I’m planning it to.
The covert/overt stat on the other hand isn’t really doing anything. It would be doing more, in the same way I intend charm to work, but there aren’t that many scenes in there that rely on sneaking around after Sevastopol. That pair is something I am thinking of removing.

I see, thanks for explaining! Well, can’t wait for more great stuff from you, whether it’s updates to this, The Golden Eagle, or something else entirely! I’ll be here
Does anyone know how to get evony to fall in love with you?
I hate to be that guy but “Muslim call to prayer” doesn’t exactly sound very proper. How about you use ‘salah’ instead?
Drove in the Maserati with Evony from Italy to Monaco but didn’t get the Roman Holiday achievement.
Didn’t sleep with Evony at the hotel after the confrontation with the SMERSH agent, still didn’t get the Keep it Classy achievement.
@Tuhin_Subhra_Maity, I believe you can just go into one post and keep editing as you find errors.
