Stats! Also there was one time when I reconsidered who I wanted to give my pearls of protection to, and the end stats counted it as 2 pearls given instead of one, which would’ve been impossible considering I had filled 3 timeslots with other things. Forgot to screenshot/copy-paste that tho.

Both my main and back up saves have been corrupted, this is truly a dark time in history.
I’ve never had to clear my cache, and I’m on safari. I’d give it a try, and see how it goes

Just some confusion here… perhaps I played through the old plot too quickly and selected the wrong choice along the way, but as you can see from my stat, I went with a very sweet MC route. Somehow I stacked the stats.adrian_antaganostic _past= 1 at the end of demo? When did my MC ever piss off Adrian lol. I can only think of one place that can really get Adrian mad.. not inviting him to the apartment.. which my MC did not do. My MC also has a relationship with him as a long-term friend. It could honestly be just me reading too quickly and created an error tho.
Also just checked that I still get the best? interlude with Adrian about the eden part. But somehow the antaganostic_past = 1 by that point… oh well
Merlin doing what Merlin does best: Lore dumping (ate my hangout time with Adrian in the process!)

Also I really love that we can choose to talk to Merlin about our fae heritage so early on in the story. While it is far from closure for Changeling!MC, they finally have someone to talk to now! After dealing with it alone their entire life! I still need to replay the demo for my other MCs (whose save files also got completely screwed over) and check out all the options in the free time hub since I only did two.

Quick heads up, that I pushed a hotfix for chapter1-5 (which means all sections of the game have updated at this point & probably broke all the saves) since that had a bug that was messing with the relationship with Adrian for a bunch of players.
Otherwise, thanks for the all the stats + comments! I’m a bit surprised that lots of people seem to have made a beeline for the Chore Hub, which is probably one of the shortest sections.
ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧ Yes, at least one person trying out all the crazy options.
The Pearl ending stats are pretty much counting how many times you went through the Pearl Hub rather than how many pearls you actually sent, so that sounds about right.
No, that’s standard operating procedure when a game or non-hashed/versioned website updates, otherwise you won’t actually see the update. (For the cache only, not browser history, cookies, localStorage etc)
A mobile browser will automatically clear the cache if it gets so large that it starts lagging the browser, but it’s generally recommended that you manually clear the cache at least monthly so it never reaches that point.
But it doesn’t seem that iOS has the option to do a clear cache only without touching cookies, localStorage, and other browser settings (unlike Android/Mac/PC). 
I don’t use Safari Mobile, so I can’t give any personal advice. If Safari Mobile already auto-cleared its cache since you last played the game, it should be fine. Otherwise, you’ll run into a bunch of errors with nothing I can do about that (similar thing is going on with errors on with cogdemos.ink as well)
It is indeed. I ended up spending several hours the day I updated the Public Beta having to run through the game again several times (because I kept finding typos at the last moment that I had to fix, which broke my saves wash & repeat again).
I think the saves in Chapter1-5 (walking home from club and getting dragged into the demon-filled city) should have been safe… until the hotfix I pushed today.
No, that’s definitely a bug (which should be fixed with this morning’s update). Weirdly, when I was running through the code to try and track down its source, it looks like it got introduced into Chapter1-5 on 2/24/2024, so strange it never popped up before now.
I guess the Free Time Hub is the section that has the most use of Adrian’s past & present relationship variables so that people finally ran into it.
Dang only two free time slots there? So if you weren’t doing some combo of messing with the RV causing the group to run late, being slothful, stealing Adrian’s name, then I guess you ran into one of the loooooong conversations with Merlin?
Yes, no closure, only suspicions/suppositions since Merlin isn’t a fae but has a long history dealing with them.
I still need to play the update, but I wish to register a spurious demand that a mute MC get to cuddle with Merlin and try to communicate through osmosis.
Which they will explain in a five point bulletin written on the back of a bar napkin.
And then resume trying to have a conversation via osmosis.
In this essay I will
There really aren’t any mute-linked cuckoolander options, are there?
