Ok so it says there may be consequences to being consistently resistant. My MC is still going to be constantly resisting. With our buddy Simon(e) of course

Now I can’t decide between three ROs (Elliot, B), because Jeremy turned out to be interesting after this update.
I come back to wondering who is enemy

This is also my struggle when I play IF games
The next chapter will be mainly focused on spending time with the ROs, so maybe that will help you pick a favorite (or add even more indecision 
)
Some of the consequences were hinted at in this chapter when you train your gifts. It’s also very obvious if you’re a code diver 
But I want to add a disclaimer that there’s not going to be a “right” way to play and all branches will be choices at the end of it all. There will be pros and cons to being accepting, too!

Don’t stress me 
three is enough! Normally I have no problem selecting one favourite RO, but your WiP is exception.

definitely gonna be indecision lmao. also why does picking flirt options for elliot feel so embarrassing to me? ive been stuck at the first flirt option cause i feel like the man would think im crazy when i show any sign that i like him romantically.
but he makes me go 
and he basically can manhandle my mc but his smile can make my annoyance disappear. im sorry for this but elliot gives high key dilf vibes and im here for it

I loved the update!
That said, a few (small) things!
Summary
- @{birdname ${birdnick}|The ${birdshort}} flaps by you to soar wordlessly down the corridor. → maybe soundlessly because it’s a bird and can’t say words??? or at least speechlessly or something
-
*disable_reuse *if ((clue1!="spiralsstay") and (clue1!="spiralsgo")) #"Who's this other woman?" *set photocount +1 "Who's this other woman?" you ask@{((clue1="spiralsstay") or (clue1="spiralsgo")) , deciding not to mention her familiarly shaped necklace|}. -> wouldn't you never get to the familiarly shaped necklace line? - Kathy takes note of that. “Not all, dear. I’m sure you will continue to blossom as you spend time with us.” → not AT all maybe

Only noticed one thing that’s minor but I’ve slept since the. Lol so will play again when I get the chance to see if I notice it again. If so will point out my thought on it but loved the update and can already tell I will need to do multiple play throughs

There’s something so very satisfying about being able to be like “you forced me into this, and I hope to make you regret every second of it.”

Oh, I have a quick question: if you’ve read my last reply, you prolly can deduce that i may be playing a ressistant MC, i know… a shocker lol. So, knowing that, how do i have 1 friend point with Natasha? She must have some pretty low standards, tho ig u can’t really have high ones when you’re in a cult lol or maybe she’s just a masochist idk lol

@Rui_Filipe lol haven’t read close your last post but far as Natasha goes she seems to not want to be there as well but has resigned herself to it. At least in the main play through of mine grant it I haven’t looked at points that you have lol but I’m also playing a resistant mc.

mmm I see. Well i think it could be two things: or it’s a bug, which is prolly the first thing that should’ve poped in my head instead of a character’s preferences lol or maybe she sympathizes with a resistant protagonist ,not only cause it’s something humane to do but also cause the mc, by resisting, is trustworthy. Also, who isn’t playing a resistant one? lol

So, I just went through all the code and I don’t see any friendship increases for Natasha that weren’t planned.
You may have gained the point if you:
- were nice and/or polite to her
- chose to interact with her at some point (on the stairs in chapter 4 or during the induction ceremony in chapter 5)
- chose empathy and said something she liked during the training
One point is pretty meaningless overall, it just means you did something she liked at some point. Any stat checks for friendship will have higher barriers

While I don’t necessarily “hate” everyone, there isn’t a person a I trust…yet. It wasn’t until I finished reading the demo & finally breathed that I realized how paranoid I was reading this. lol I do love my little Golden Finch.
I don’t know if it’s possible & you have enough options already but when you are choosing on if you are going or not to the mansion, I kinda wish there was an option where the MC could just kind of brush off the whole thing & not go. Instead of taking a fearful or aggressive stance they could just be like “yeah I’m not about that life” or be like “really what are they going to do if I don’t go, kidnap me…” lol Because I could see this being how my sarcastic MC would have responded. Granted the outcome is the same as if you choose one of the other options to not go cuz they’re going to make you one way or the another.
If I may make a request is that you continue to have an options where the MC can “play along” with the situation. Like my MC is curious enough to go along with things once they’re forced into the situation because they want to find out more about their parents, especially their mom. But they’re totally not sold on the idea but still wants to seem “cordial”. There are several times where you do give options that reflect this already and I understand that at some point the MC will have to choose to either fully commit or to try to run. But as of right now I feel like my MC only understands enough to know that this situation is dangerous but yet they are curious enough to risk being in danger in order of find out the truth.
Anyways, I’m really enjoying this story & am excited to read more.
