I think you need to reach the final round and then choose Rocket.
Round 1: Choose either Scissors or Paper
Round 2: Rock or Scissors
Round 3: Rocket
And it should set the variable to true
Amnesia MC remembers everything that happened after they were found wandering the desert in their teens. This includes the few years they spent in foster care.
Here’s my end stats.
This playthrough was interesting especially since my MC was either brave or stupid to try fight the monster if Adrian didn’t drag me away. Somehow I didn’t get possessed this time but my MC is kinda sus doing unexplainable things but that’s probably because the mark is still there. I think my MC sabotaged the brakes without knowing or just got defensive for some reason when asked. Percy kind of chill despite appearing out no where with our first among us Easter egg.
super fun demo!!! here are my stats.

That’s so sweet that you made an account to share with us! Welcome!
Is there a way to fight the yellow eyed entity. The options for me are greyed out. Do I need low corruption or make some specific choices? Pls help, I wanna throw hands
Those options are always impossible to choose, however, you can attempt to fight the hellhound later (if you have low enough fear or possess the greed vice, that is).
Thanks for all the comments + stats!
I used to make a living writing and copy editing nonfiction. I’ve had fiction published before, way back when, but that was short microfiction stuff. And I’ve also written prior games in Choicescript and other program languages before, but I either never bothered to publish them or they pretty much went nowhere.
Just a little bit.
That’s not really how incubi work in OKS. You could have Merlin attempt sex without feeding upon their lover’s request for shits & giggles a couple of times, but it’s not a feasible long-term strategy. It’s like asking a folklore werewolf to please not go insane during a full moon.
Merlin can use magicry to cast healing spells and such, but if they put a bit of their own actual energy/soul into their lover… that’s how you get a baby incubus. (And the incubator usually doesn’t survive that).
Otherwise, unless they’re pulling an emergency dine & dash, Merlin always does aftercare for their lovers, especially for long-term ones.
Oh hey, look, it’s Adrian mortal enemy!
And what’s this I see, new guides to link in my FAQ?!
Someone actually did one for winning Rock, Paper, Scissors before, but it was buried in the middle of one of the longer guides (I think it was the Magic Points one?)
You’re pretty much the honorary winner if you get the Achievement, since the MC’s final actions there prove that Merlin was cheating through mindreading WTF-ery
If your MC sabotaged the RV’s brakes, then they definitely should be possessed, although the So Your Possessed achievement might not pop up again if you got it in a previous run-through of the game.
Hopefully that’s working correctly. ( ⚆﹏⚆ )
Percy:
I knew it. Merlin is a cheater who can’t play fair for something like that. I tried all options.
It felt like he was trying to make some kind of point, especially bc it seemed he was influencing what Percy threw out (maybe a “I can hear your thoughts you imposter” kind of thing lol)
wait i may have been confused/missed something in the demo, but if the PC is a changeling wouldn’t that affect their ability to use the iron lamp in their apartment? or am i tripping.
ohhh duh. this makes sm sense. thank you!!!
They are affected, but not debilitated, by touching the lamp and iron shards (like they feel the difference between iron and metal, but it doesn’t leave them in pain). It may be due to the Veil still being up, or due to them still having little to no magic despite being a fairy.
@Unregistered just wanted to know, since we’ve met Adrian the sussy baka, Merlin of ambiguous gender, and Percival Jackson, which of the ROs are we gonna meet next after this? I’ve just reread the synopsis and I’m damn excited for more
As this hub will become available once every chapter from this point onwards, you’ll be able to run through it around 1 – 4 times (depending on if you’re slothful, if you had to take a detour on the road, if one of the ROs triggers an additional scene with you etc.) before the game moves on.
I advise players to make a save file right before entering Free Time so you can try out the many, many, many different options and see which ones you’d like to keep for your canon run, particularly if you’re not getting the full four slots of free time.
Also, keep in mind that certain choices need to be triggered by previous flags (i.e. to have the extended discussion with Merlin about the First or Second Circles requires you to successfully research them in the Internet Hub first)
Make sure to clear your cache for the oneknightstand.co website and check that the start page is displaying Version 0.24. Then check the Status menu to make sure your stats haven’t been reset to default.
If your stats have reset to the default ?¿?¿?¿ values, it means that particular save has corrupted, and you’ll have to use another one (as proceeding with a corrupted save will just give you a bunch of nonexistent error messages).
Play the Updated Beta Test
(Since there were bugs & typos fixed throughout Chapter 1 & 2, your current saves are probably going to reset to the beginning of each section of the game. If things get too wonky, you might want to try restarting from the beginning. )

Yes, the MC who gets the Rock, Paper, Scissors achievement can also discover Merlin’s true intent behind all the party games. Although I forget if they automatically get that flavor text or if it’s behind a perception check.
You could also play with the Inhuman Secret and run around touching all the iron to see what happens!
Although there’s already hints regarding the order they’re going to show up in.
I’ve lost track of this thread for a while. Is Book Club implemented yet?
No it is not.

im actually 100% doing this when i playthrough the new demo. one thing i love particularly much about this game is how genuinely rewarding it is to make random/bizarre/reckless/insane choices. no matter what paths ive tried or choices ive made with different PCs, there is always something interesting and delicious to read that makes it so worth it to go down all the different narrative roads.
will update probably tonight or sometime soonish with any thoughts i have on v0.24!!
