Judging by the reviews on the play market, it seemed that a wonderful story had finally come out. Yes it is quite intriguing, but once again the player is not allowed to solve moral issues. An evil act in this game is considered to be like that - run past and don`t help if someone is shouting, or to read minds without asking, or to demand payment for good deeds. Other then that we play a linearly 100% goody persona till the abrupt end.

its been a while since I visited this forum
Just checked playstore to see if it would be out

Imagine My joy
Now I’m reading Evertree inn from the beginning :snowman_with_snow:

Anyone knows why Orion will break in to your house and kiss you if your lover is Lamuel or anybody else…but will not do so if your lover is Dandy?

*if ((trust_orion >=50) and (ally !=dandy)) and (clue_11 <=5)

I like Dandy…but I also like Orion. And Dandy already knows about your crush on Orion. So I’m curious why you can’t “flirt” with Orion if Dandy is your lover. It’s so unfair…lol!

Also, I realised not all the scenes are listed in the startup page of the code. Does anyone know the full list of scenes? I’m would like to know what I missed.

:eyes:

This is a thing?! Is it something you have to be in a love triangle to trigger? Darn it, my O-mancers are extra salty now…

Ohhhhhh yes!!! He actually kisses you!!! Which is about time!!!

Let me give you a scandalous snippet (wink)

*if lover = orion
		strangely timidly.

		"I…" ${orion_he} begins. Then ${orion_he} stops. You can practically hear ${orion_his} mind whirring as ${orion_his} chest rises and falls.
		*fake_choice
			#"You…what?"
				"I don't know," ${orion_he} replies. The intensity in ${orion_his} eyes is making your body feel numb, as if you've been plunged into icy water. "I don't know what I'm doing here."

				$!{orion_his} hand reaches for your cheek. $!{orion_his} fingers brush your skin. $!{orion_he} feels warm.

				And then you are together, ${orion_his} lips against yours, ${orion_his} body tight like a spring.
			#"Couldn't wait to see me again?"
				You've barely finished your question. $!{orion_he} seizes you, ${orion_his} lips crashing into yours, ${orion_his} hands gripping your arms. $!{orion_his} whole body is tense.
			#"${orion}, I can't keep playing these games. Why are you here?"
				"I don't know," ${orion_he} replies. The intensity in ${orion_his} eyes is making your body feel numb, as if you've been plunged into icy water. "I don't know what I'm doing here."

				$!{orion_his} hand reaches for your cheek. $!{orion_his} fingers brush your skin. $!{orion_he} feels warm.

				And then you are together, ${orion_his} lips against yours, ${orion_his} body tight like a spring.
			#I grab ${orion_him}, pulling ${orion_him} to me.
				$!{orion_he} doesn't resist you. Your lips collide and ${orion_his} hands seize a hold of your arms. $!{orion_he} doesn't relax. $!{orion_he} tenses into the kiss.
		It's as though ${orion_he}'s acting on instinct while ${orion_his} mind races to catch up, to realise that this is what ${orion_he} wants.

		$!{orion_he} pulls away, and you feel the room spinning. $!{orion_he} is doubled over, ${orion_his} hands on ${orion_his} knees, panting as though each breath might be ${orion_his} last.
		*fake_choice
			#"Don't go. Stay with me."
				"You…you would not ask that of me if you understood."
			#"${orion}, what is it you want?"
				"I want—" $!{orion_he} stops ${orion_him}self. "No. You can't ask me that."

			#"You can't keep doing this to me!"
				"This isn't—! I'm not—!" Everytime ${orion_he} tries to speak, the words catch in ${orion_his} throat.
		$!{orion_he} moves to wipe ${orion_his} mouth, but ${orion_his} fingers linger, caught at the point where you were both connected. $!{orion_his} green eyes seem to glow in the dark as they find yours again.

But… what…arghleblaghlegrrr!

Shakes fist at Orion, then at Thom Baylay, then at frustrating ROs in general.

That’s it, it’s fanfic time.

Just to let you know though. As I mentioned, If you’re romancing Dandy, Orion doesn’t appear. I don’t know why that is the case? And it’s so unfair to D-romancers.

Would love to read your fanfic once it’s written (winks)

Whaddya know, there’s already an Evertree Saga category on AO3. That’ll make things easier. Do you see what you drive your fans to, Thom Baylay?? You should be ashamed! :wink:

Ahhhh I didn’t know about that Orion breaking into your house!!! AHHHHHH!!!

This is on me for always doing, like, the exact same choices every time I replay from Evertree. But destroying a cult with Orion and doing unspeakable things on the altar is my favourite scene ever.

Orion is one of my all time fave ROs for sure. I’m so looking forward to how the relo develops - I wonder if in the future there might be a choice that forces him to choose between his loyalty to his employer and you, that would be great…

D is always present at night in your home. L, the other possible roommate, won’t be, but you will always get the platonic variant of the scene if you aren’t romantically involved with Ori.

Clue 11 determines if you have encountered the Ox-Mother cult and stayed to finish things (of various sorts) with Ori. You will never get this scene if you had.

The missing scenes are 9mainmystery.txt and 10career.txt. It should be self-explanatory what they contain.

I keep wanting to do a new version of an Orion romance in Sordwin so that I can actually continue playing on the romance in Lux. But my MC is with Dandy since Evertree Inn and my heart aches at the thought of breaking up with him and hurting him…especially after he reveals his emotional vulnerability in the tailor’s home.

But I really really really am beginning to like the broody elf more and more! If only I could be hard-hearted enough to do the breakup and romance Orion instead.

Ah ha. I did turn down the quest on several characters (who weren’t involved with Ori), but it seems the trick is accepting and then leaving partway through? Time for another run, I think, for research purposes!

You do know that there’s an option to have sex with O if you finish the entire quest with O right?

Yes, which is why I never abandoned the quest partway through (though I did turn down the sex once, for science). But I want to see the housebreaking option too. For science.

continues scribbling fanfic

Edit: Got the scene, apparently it’ll happen if Ori’s interested enough and you turn down the trip to cultsville. Love it, though still, what is up with this guy/gal/living statue person…

I completed the game, but had no option to save the character! Can anyone help me? :frowning:

There is no save option yet. Only after the next game has been submitted, they will add the option.

Thanks for your answer. So any game played 'til the next game’s submission will be lost?
