First off, may I say that I love the concept of your story. I am always a sucker for stories with a small band heroes standing as a thin line between the world and chaos. I enjoy the variety between the characters and I see that they appear to be well fleshed out so far. If I had a complaint, and I believe it has been mentioned before, is the length and detail of sone of the writing. I appreciate the color and detail you put into your writing, but there are times that I feel I am reading a narrative story instead of interactive fiction. I enjoy being part of the story, making decisions that impact the course of the story. There are several pirtions of the story where there are 3-4 long pages with no input of any kind from the mc. I just find, for me, that it distracts from the purpise of IF. I am not asking for it all to be one paragraph pages with choice on each page, but I think it would help the experience to break up the long pages and add some more, impactful choices for the reader. As I said, I do live the story and characters and I am looking forward to seeing where it all goes from here.

@ChaosBringerXV Thanks for playing and the screenshot. Balancing is the most arduous part for me. May I ask if was male or female?

@Greytrap1 Thanks. Hope you like it. An update should drop within the next few days, and it has a bit of what can be considered a first taste of time travel.

I didn’t even notice the update. Thanks for updating our chill Death. Also I appreciated the fact now the Mc can act indifferent. I wonder if dying and meeting Death has any long term effects later. Like Death can meet us in the living world if we died once later in the story or someone notices the mc has been resetting the world like Undertale characters do.

I found a bug incase it hasn’t been reported yet? A loop if u will? After encountering death and having my stats increase by 3 I then proceeded next and been brought back to town hawthorne where everything seems a miss convo repeats here, that been said its good premise but I can’t seem to form a bond with the characters due to the dialogues seemed one sided … :thinking: its like im reading a book and the choices doesn’t really affect much but don’t worry I think your learning quite fast :pleading_face: keep going!

@Christopher_Bull Yes, it is possible to meet Death outside of the ā€œusual settingā€ eventually. Thanks!

@ChaosBringerXV Got it. Thanks!

@SpanishBrEaD Thanks for the feedback, unfortunately, the loop has to stay otherwise the amount of writing I’ll have to do for every time the MC dies is unfeasible.

Update Notes: 04 Oct 2023
The first half of Chapter 3 is out. (32000 word count). Total Word Count: 140,000 +
Since I have most of the main body of the story written, my aim is to update every 15 days. Hopefully I can keep up the pace with the edits and the bugs while incorporating feedbacks.

Added a scene with Aditi I had missed earlier. That brings the word count to 144,000.

Also, anyone who can deduce the identity of Lydia Constantine and Callum gets a prize. The prize is my eternal respect. XD

Thanks for the report. It’s close to the end. I had actually forgotten to upload the new startup file. It should be fixed now.
