Mind Blind (01/31 Demo Update. A Story Where You Are NOT The Chosen One!)

I put yea but would like to be clear that I feel it should be something completely optional and not forced. Optional I think is self explanatory, but by “not forced” I mean that I don’t want to hold Sally’s hand to hook her up with Nick nor do I expect Nick to just auto fall for sally because of his precious baby sibling’s involvement.

Letting Sally know a part of his schedule so she can try to do something with him; encouraging her to let him know how she feels; or even just telling Nick to focus on himself or someone else other than you, to live his own life. That’s what I would be looking for instead of forcing the two of them together in a super nosy or awkward, matchmaker way.

I also think it would be an interesting dynamic for people with crushes on Gray, especially if you allow us to try to move on like one of the options said.

I figure I should post my weekly status updates here as well, for people who don’t have a tumblr :slight_smile:

Current Coded Words: 140k coded in alpha

Next Demo Update: November 28

Only one planned update this month since I’m reworking a lot of Chapter 4 and 5 to delay certain scenes for better impact. It’ll include all of Chapter 5 and possibly the first half of Chapter 6. A huge chunk of the middle portion is already written, so even with the editing, this next update should be heftier (a single Thanksgiving-sized platter, so to speak, rather than weekly breadcrumbs)

It’s not Satan since he’s gender-locked while Noh is gender-flippable.

I really loved this demo! I can’t wait to read more contents. I definitely go for the professor! It reminds me of Severus Snape. I love him already!

So, just to confirm, but what are the ways to beat the test with or without cheating and how do you get Sally pass that doctor?

Look, all these theories are great but did you know that bungee gum possesses the properties of rubber and gum?

Do you mean past the guard? You no longer can.

A lot of readers interpreted Sally wanting to see Nick as being aggressive and uncaring, which made me concluded that I’d misrepresented her character in the hospital scenes. Some people even got the impression that Sally is using Button to get to Nick! I’ve never been fully happy with that scene, and the feedback people provided here really helped me pinpoint what could be improved.

It was better to let Sally stand down for this scene, to cement that Button is her foremost priority and let readers view the current dynamic before deciding whether to change it–the earlier version asked you to make a decision on whether or not to set Nick and Sally up without ever witnessing the two interact, which was a pretty glaring flaw. Thus the Snickly trigger is being reworked to come later :slight_smile:

I always tend to dislike matchmaking in interactive fiction, so it’s a Nay for me. I feel very protective of Nick too :joy::two_hearts: No one is good enough for big brother. Sorry not sorry.

I’m so interested in the masked stranger, though… since their first appearence and the heavy villain vibes. And I’ve been reading talk about them being a secret RO…? :flushed: Hell yes.

Wasn’t Noh the person who controlled Mc’s mind recently? In that case, I don’t think my MC could forgive that.

All I need in life is for Rosy to propose to me and then we go off into the night to live happily ever after… :pensive:
Also for those who did Glitch route how was it?
I usually stick to two MC’s (one for Rosy and one for k)
But glitch is looking tasty ngl :eyes:

Glitch is awsome. She goes out of her way to help MC. I believe she truly cares about the MC.

Mmmh… I don’t trust Glitch, for me is him that is secretly evil and tryes to control MC.

So much agreement here :sob: My nature is to play 15 different saves with 15 different MCs at all times. I tried to do one where I hated Nick and I just couldn’t. I could get my Button to hate their mom. Even their dad. But every time I got to a choice with Nick, I couldn’t bring myself to pick the hostile option.

Congrats, you’ve made a really good character! :tada:
