Just played for the first time and even though I usually play as a good person in other WIPās, I have never wanted to be as evil as I am in this game. I think ima have fun with this
Oh. That may have been it. The sentence was weird to me.
Yeah, I read it that way too, but I can see how it could be misleading.
On a completely unrelated note, I was so very tempted to flirt with Ortega at the gym while in the Puppet, butā¦ I donāt know. It felt wrong. 
My MC feelsā¦ something for Ortega. Something that probably bloomed years ago when they were partners and flirting but withered away and now has a chance to spring back, and I just know that I would probably ruin any chances for my boy (lol @ referring to a 30 year old man as my boy) to end up with him if I pulled that kinda stunt on him. I mean, just look at that one line in the summary:
Yeah. I didnāt dare.

Even in fiction I canāt bring myself to try and romance more than a single person.

Welcome back! Hope youāve been doing well. ^^ Been looking forward to the return of this WIP. 
But thatās the real kicker! 
Itās just the one person! Justā¦ two different youās. But I know itāll only cause issues 'cause our MC might see it that way, but Ortega probably wonāt. And then Iād cry. Iām already crying at how much he cares. My dudeās treated him with nothing but kindness so far and it just hurts to see him with hope in his eyes. IāM SORRY, ORTEGA!

Same. 
Iām hoping for that and smooches, but weāll see. I donāt think Ortega will take too kindly to my MC after the eventual reveal that the MCās going villain, but a man can dream, right? Granted, Iāve literally been playing this MC as though heād jump on the redemption arc the second he can, but still.

Itās great to see this coming back; I was heartbroken when I thought this had been abandoned. Thanks for never giving up on it.
A lot of the things I loved carried over to the new scenes. Same broken protagonist, opportunities for self-torture, being an intelligent manipulator, and subtle mind games that remind me a lot of Death Note
On that note, itās pretty much confirmed that weāll have to be a liar. But what kind of options will there be for lying? For example,
- Trying to stick to the truth whenever possible to keep things simple
- Trying to divert all attention from you in a ādeny, deny, denyā way
- Lie more often than you tell the truth
- Pretend to be a unicorn from outer space
Most of the time I agree with you, but this is probably the only game in which Iām actually doing multiple romances. Why? Because Iām a liar who wants to stack as many odds in my favor, and in general people tend to trust people they are attracted to or, worst case scenario, instinctively pull their punches.
How do I keep Ortega off the scent? Make her fall in love with me. How do I ensure my mad scientistās loyalty? Have my puppet show a bit of leg, and drop hints that continued partnership means more interaction with my puppet. Just because Iām a nicer breed of supervillain doesnāt mean Iām not above ruthlessly manipulating peopleās emotions

Not romancing Ortega with my main MC, Valentia, simply because it will lead to heartbreak when the reveal happens.
Gotta put off the reveal as long as possible to stay BFFs/Therapy Buddies. I have fallen into the trap that is Ortegaās heart.
With enough telepathic suggestion theyāll believe you, neigh.

Iām way too nice to be a villain.
Also what is the check for getting lady argentās secret when youāre in her mind I wanna know what sheās hiding!
Just played it and i dont know what the hell iām pickingā¦ Like iām getting way into character there.
Cyrus is damaged, he knows it. He aināt gonna stopā¦ And thenā¦ And then Ortega shows up and sheās his like weakness? Iāunno all i can say is that I want to romance her but at the same time i donāt know what. Breakheart or dramaā¦ GAHā¦ Eitherway Iām happy to play this again and happy that i picked arguing with her before running the fuck away like a little bitch that my character is.
I always enjoy a game where I can be a bad guy who is a serious threat to the forces of good.
So, just finished my first play through of this W.I.P. Now most people whoāve seen my comments know that I generally just dick about and make jokes about things. However, in all seriousness this has been one of the most entertaining stories Iāve read in quite sometime. None of the other games that C.o.G or H.G have gone with this approach. Normally you craft a character in a very rudimentary way at the very beginning. This, this however feels as though youāre stepping into the shoes of a living breathing person. With a legitimate world built around them.
I donāt know how youāve managed to do this but you created a scenario in which I played both myself and someone else. Iām honestly not entirely sure how to express my thoughts on just how badly Iād like to see how the story progresses. Well done is all I can say really. Well done and that I will certainly be watching this with great interest.

Iām really happy and excited you and this amazing wip is back! Iām in love with this game! 
I loved the updated and the interactions with Ortega just make fall in love with him more and more. 
So flirting with him, while Iām using the puppet is so wrong and out of the question.
My mc has a way of making him blush and not even sorry to the slightest. 
I just really hope my mc has still chances to rekindle her relationship with him and where their relationship will lead and how will influence her initial motives for revenge, when sheāll realize how empty she feels and this is not what she really wants from her life (yes, Iām going full redemption with my mc).

I just finished my first play through. It is 3 in the morning, and now I have to fall asleep with the feels escaping from my body.
Other than that, I extremely enjoy the story so far and Iāll definitely be keeping an eye on this.

First, a great big thank you to everyone welcoming me back. Iāve missed this place. I really has. Also, you are making me blush. Iām so glad youāre enjoying this, because I am sure enjoying writing it, even if the complexity just keeps skyrocketing as the MC develops and the choices racks up.
Iāll get to some individual questions in a moment, I just wanted to say a general OMG YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING. Yep. I really do think that.
