A Bit More Info on the Update Mechanics
Summary
You’ve basically got 2 time slots available in the dream before you wake up. The Castle & Courtyard paths take 1 time slot each. Completing Arthur’s path takes 2 time slots in total, but you can also just do the first part of his interaction at the barn & one of the other paths instead.
Next Update
- Finishing the Minor Allies section of Merlin’s Guide
- The Fencing Club Route
- I’m going back to Chapter 1, if you don’t see me in a month, send help.
