No update, but she posted two extra stories last night, one with some major spoilers for the vengeance route.
Love the game!
I think I found a small gramatic error?
In the first chapter, when you choose to risk the Metro, you have the option to answer the following to Sally:
âWhat about you? Or is has the ugly uniform changed your mind?â
I believe it should be only has.
Canât add screenshot because my account is new or something?
First time playing, can anyone tell me how to unlock this option?
Chapter 2
âAccording to The Aeon Student Guide, Unityâs primary objective is prevent a repeat of the mass-scale psychic crimes committed by the North Korean regime.â
âAccording to our oh-so-unbiased student guide, Unity exists so that Good Ments can stop Bad Ments.â
You have to go to the stat page and click the option for the student guide there before it gets to that part. It wonât give you the option to choose those options unless youâve actually read/âreadâ (clicked?) it.
Still no news? ;(
Will Button have a choice to have a power or is the narrative locked on being mind blind?
Nope, thatâs locked in
What about nick x grayson pairing??
For all the Nick/Gray shippers, you see this when Button has trolled Grayâs fan club forums with false rumors in chapter 1:
Gray still hasnât forgiven you for posting that picture of him and Nick conked out on the couch together after you three had a movie marathon. The two hadnât been able to go outside for months without paparazzi inquiring about their ârelationshipâ status.
Nick, being Nick, found the whole thing hysterical, even after his then-girlfriend dumped him for not rectifying the rumor. He referred to Gray as âDarlingâ in public for months.
Gray, in turn, referred to Nick as âarsehole.â
And you referred to the associated press as âamusingly gullible.â
Imagine doing the trolling and then romancing Gray. MC can give an interview saying they did it to distract the press from their own relationship
I hope everything is going OK I cannot wait for this game to come out I have been following it from the beginning
Their Patreon has had 4 short stories released 2 days ago so the author is still semi active. They maybe working on the game or taking a little break from the coding
My native language is Spanish and I oftenly think in English. I believe it could be very useful for the MC.
I agree. I believe an accommodation wouldnât be the same as the trope of a disability being magically cured.
I mean, people who use prosthetics, wheelchairs, service dogs, hearing aids, etc. arenât magically not disabled anymore if they use those things, some even find it a hassle to use it but it can make life easier for others.
At one scene it says that the machine their mom was going to use exists because thereâs more telepaths to study while theyâre the only zero, but while others arenât zeroes it doesnât mean that they are 100% safe from coercion and many would want something that could protect their mind.
(Iâm not saying itâs something the author should put because if they want the MCâs disability to not be able to be accommodated thatâs their decision.)
What Iâm trying to say is. The world if Vengeance was a group that spent their resources in mental protection research instead of making college-aged students explode:
If MC learned a dead language i would be even better. Image learning esperanto or latim⌠His thoughts would be somewhat safe.
You sound like youâre arguing with Kent
I agree completely though. Iâm definitely siding with Vengeance. Honestly a lot of Ment powers seem more a hindrance to people. If you read the codex entries people like Sally often go off the grid because they canât handle their visions. The only powers I can get behind are Grays (and Empathy⌠to a point). Grays powers donât let him perve on people, rape their brains, manipulate their emotions, etc. His powers can only be used to protect (himself and others).
And itâs not like I want to kill the Ments. I love Nick despite his overbearing nature. My Button is excited when heâs in her brain because itâs the closest sheâs ever felt to being normal. Iâll just go ahead and take over Vengeance because Reese is a terrible leader. No more blowing people up. Just gonna drop some kinda BRS thingy in the water supply. Or something.
There is a bit in the game where it felt like Jo was teasing a possible ending where Button might be able to become a One. But Iâm not sure if thatâs good enough for me.
Yeah, I appreciate Gray, really. Heâs a good guy and his powers arenât intrusive. If Gray and Button could leave together and go live somewhere that has no other ments (or on a deserted island), Iâd probably go his route. Same for Kent. The rest of them? No thanks. I thought Rosy was awesome until I realized who they really are. After that? No effing way, and itâs made worse by the fact that there canât be a romance because theyâre Buttonâs teacher, so nothing can happen until years in the future.
On the one hand, it seems wrong to take away their powers completely. On the other, everyone would be safer for it. Personally, Iâd rather not take away anyoneâs power⌠I would just want to level the playing field and ensure no one can ever do to anyone what was done to Button. Furthermore, find a way to block everyoneâs mind from Ment intrusiveness. Not accidental. Not purposeful. No one has a right to anyone elseâs thoughts unless they are given express permission to them. Period.
As for Nick, I like him but his âpoor meâ bullshit really got on my nerves. Button has to walk around with him invading her mind constantly and he acts like she has some nerve not wanting him judging or commenting on her thoughts. He has no respect for her privacy, individuality, or desire to be free from being mind raped 24/7. Yes, he gave up a lot for her, since the parents bailed, but that doesnât give him the right to treat her like she doesnât have the basic rights all humans should have.
As for Button becoming a One⌠donât count on that. From what I saw of the ending, Zero will always be a Zero. Itâs either learn to live with it or be âevilllllâ and join the anti-Ment team. Thereâs no in between and no escape where you can just go off by yourself to a Ment-free colony and be happy. Thereâs no crutch to help you defend yourself so you can be self-reliant. You must submit and accept the mindrape if you want to be labeled âgoodâ and not have everyone hate you. And thatâs fine. They can hate my MC all they want. Sheâs done being told she can never be trusted or treated like an equal because sheâs a Zero. Better to be labeled an enemy and an outcast than never be able to have a private thought.
Before I get back in. It was updated since last I looked.
My thoughts as Buttons. âNeed me to find the spies?! I got a sure fire way!â
Whomever is known and unknown WILL try to leave quickly. Unless they are as bad as my brain. Mildly, all food looks like the worst thing can imagine. Only one of many thatâs only mild. If I go further, it becomes AO and at worst, lock them up!
So i wonât go any further.
Maybe Iâm just a psychopath but I really donât see whatâs inherently wrong with taking peopleâs powers away. It would just turn their world into the one that we all live in. Which is also shit to be fair. Buttonâs mother, Sally, all those people that reject society because they canât handle their powers⌠They would be better off without their abilities. Not to mention all of the 1âs and 2âs that live their lives as victims. And then thereâs Button.
On another note, has Jo said if thereâs going to be a Book 2? I imagine a second book would be really difficult to implement with how the story diverges.
