One Knight Stand - King Arthur x Among Us Apocalyptic Road Trip (WIP 900k, Patreon 1M+)(UPDATE 10/25/24 + 84k - Duel of AoE Spells)

Absolutely loved the amount of customisation, and all the lore. I’m a sucker for a well thought out, lore rich story.

I’m so curious who my MC could be in Camelot, cannot wait to read more.

Holy smokes, just got to the bit where you systematically murder everyone three out of five involved in a certain traffic accident, it’s just brilliant.

Quick update that my Patreon is now live. Over there you can find 15 posts (half of which are free previews at the moment). A few of the paid posts include Interlude Merlin - Mercy (drabble), JimBob’s Guide to Which Arthurian Character Are You? (mini-game), as well as the rough Alpha Draft of the 3 out of 4 routes I’ve already completed for the next update.

A few more details...

The main focus on patreon will be providing material for…

  • Early access to the game, including the Closed Beta & rough draft Alpha
  • Extra behind-the-scenes look at the writing of One Knight Stand
  • Questions answered in-character by story’s side characters
  • Previews & sneak peeks at current chapters being worked on
  • Short stories from the side character’s viewpoints
  • Snippets for more far-future plot developments
  • Suggestions & Polls for higher-tier patrons
  • Weekly Development Report
  • Periodic interactive mini-games

Otherwise, thanks for all the comments & stats!

1 out of 3 chances that you can get the little girl instead of… something else… if you should choose to stay in the motorhome. :smiling_imp:

Yeah, the serial killer secret ended up being pretty popular. It and the even more popular changeling background express the duality of the secrets. Did nothing wrong versus did a whole lot wrong.

Serial killer supremacy! Can’t wait to commit more murders.

Anyone who needs some amusement should try the killer route, for when it comes time to take things from your apartment you can surprise your pal with your gun, your machine gun, and your collection of ALL the knives.

Wait how do you get so many guns?

Criminal hobby for the machine gun, detective or security guard job for the Glock.

Wait There’s criminal hobby? I probably miss it but how do you get criminal hobby for the machine gun?

Choose to check the dark web when the option comes up.

Thanks. Last question. How do you unlock/do the
Achievement/feats of Unbeatable, Unbreakable and No Rescue Needed.

2 Likes

Unbeatable, Unbreakable is achieved by hitting Lancelot

Summary

As far as I know the only way to get that is to use lucid dreaming.

No Rescue Needed I have no idea.

3 Likes

To get no rescued needed you need to escape the bed monster without Merlin’s help. Don’t quote me on this since I haven’t checked the code exactly, but I believe you need high physical stat or agility talent in order to pass the check (catapult to chair), and maybe you also need low fear level as well as relatively okay health? Because I remembered instances where my MC failed with “fear crippled them” or “body finally couldn’t take it anymore”. Maybe luck talent can help if all else failed, I’m not exactly sure. The author does have a guide/tip for that somewhere hidden in this forum or tumblr.

I decided to replay the game, and there’s something that’s bothered me that I don’t think I’ve mentioned. And I’m curious about what everyone else thinks:

I don’t like the secrets. I don’t dislike the character having a secret, but I don’t like how… big the options are. I can be a serial killer, an imposter, a fake amnesiac (which is way crazier than I thought it’d be), or literally not a human. I usually pick not human, but that’s because it’s somehow the least crazy option. But to be honest, I would rather just not pick one. Or at least have a more normal secret. Especially since the character already has a secret addiction

Personally i like them, with each of them being so extreme and having such an impact over your character it makes each playthrough feel unique, i didn’t even know you could be a serial killer because of my phobia option lol, maybe it can be annoying if you’re into rping an average joe but oh well, more fake identities and crazy ass backstories for the rest of us

It’s curious and funny to think that in a way, because of the secrets, the MC is a big red flag for the ROs (well, at least for now, as we still don’t know much about the ROs :p)

12 Likes

The RO’s themselves are gonna be big red flags too! :smiley: I mean, there’s our bespeckled friend who knows a weeee bit to much about us than he should if we aren’t friendly with him. His reaction to us packing a certain set of items if we pick the serial killer option is kind of sus :eyes:
