One of the best game I ever played in my entire life
Though the fact that our reincarnation is probably already decided( and that I can’t be Lancelot) really broke my dream. Still the best game on this site though.

reincarnation is not decided. there are 4 possible reincarnations and who you will be is dependent on your actions in dream. you cant be people whom you meet in dream. some people already made list of possible candidates from clues.

This is my main character a news-reporter, blogger, polo-player and amnesiac liar. I think the lying about amnesia is my favorite secret im so invested in it!

Ive been trying to make a minimum of 4 differant characters, and do my best to choose entirely different dialouge and events for each of them.

It’s as fun as I remember.

Although, Adrian and Merlin finished up the shopping and got everything. Why isn’t it showing up in the stat screen?

I also got the BBQ deferred achievement here, and the Nepenthe and Insomnia achievements (as well as the chapter ones.

Also, I am surprised that, as a forensic laboratory technician, I only get occasionally to tell Adrian about the murder that came up in my work (at the fencing club).

One more thing that keeps bothering me, but it’s very minor in a very detailed game. When I see the “Trench Coat”, “Leather Jacket” and other “coat” options for clothing, I think of them as outerwear, and MC wears something else underneath (T shirt and jeans for my main, I assumed). Unless MC’s entire outfit (including the coat) is destroyed, such as by the bed Hydra, when they dress for the day, they would probably put the same coat on with different street clothes. I noticed this at the Rest Stop scene, wherein MC dresses in an exact copy of their leather jacket (which wasn’t pulverized between boarding the RV and the next day) when I thought it would be the same jacket but with different clothes underneath. I know it’s a very minor detail, and more work to put in a distinction between outerwear and other clothes, so sorry about this.

Spotted a small typo on the fencing route:

Caliburn shatters into shards once more. It reins down upon the allies who surround it.

Should be rains.

Honestly I had such a blast playing through the demo, it might actually be my favourite game on this website to this date, and thats saying a lot. I cannot wait where this adventure will continue to take us :slight_smile:

Thanks for all the comments + bug reports. Things should be fixed in my version of the game, but that won’t be reflected until the big public update.

Also, I bring more previews. Uh wow, I fell quite behind posting stuff here since this is still from Chapter 2-3. (More updated previews on Chapter 2-4 available on Tumblr and (much more)Patreon.)

Cloudcuckoolander MC Having a Great Time in the Abandoned Warehouse

inevitable

Also, finally finished collating all the stats from Chapter 2-2, so here is the ‘Average MC’ as of that chapter.

Bold: 119 (Max: 225 , Min: -15)
Sweet: 72.5 (Max: 219, Min: -77)
Sassy/Serious: 50 (Max: -75, 213)
Pessimist: 43 (Max: 126, Min -47)

Caution: 24
Will: 6
Cloudcuckoolanderness: 15
Curse Level: 4 (Nul à chier!)
Fear Level: 6.5 (Nervous)
Corruption Level: 1

  • 90% of MCs have their demon mark healed
  • 12% of MCs are mute
  • 36% of MCs are possessed
  • 40% of MCs replied to their text messages despite Merlin’s warning

Most Common Downtime Activity: Breakfast, Shower (47% of the MCs who took a shower had an accident in there)
Most Common Route: Fighting in the convenience store
Most Common New Inventory Item: Battery Charger, Shower Mat (for all the shower accident MCs, I suppose), Everything (Adrian is disappointed in all of you who didn’t take the matches)

They Know: Nothing (no one triggered it)

Presumably the people who are making guides to potential Camelot MCs and the Camelot Royal/Noble Houses are.

Unless Merlin or Adrian explicitly gave something to the MC (which can happen, such as a stressball, matches, lighter from Adrian or shower mat or hairdryer from Merlin) then whatever they picked up isn’t considered part of the MC’s inventory. (Well, stuff like the shower mat isn’t part of the MC’s inventory that they’re carrying around anyway, but the game notes that the RV bathroom now has one).

And the MC has to explicitly trigger the proper flags for Adrian & Merlin to go out of their way to get them something. Those two also definitely don’t get “everything” (ie the completely ransack the convenience store flag) unless the MC initiates it.

You’re one of the few people who chose that option too (no, seriously, the last collecting of stats had only like 2 people go for pretty level 5) and that’s actually the variation that gets the most flavor text. :joy:

The lab tech background is suggested as the “least likely to spectacularly blow up in my face later” career choice in the FAQ since it has one of the fewest connections to the Midnight Mauler case. There’s not really anything more to it besides “I was the random tech chosen to run the test on this weird substance” which is basically exactly what you can tell Adrian (in far more detail).

Yes, the game is assuming that the MC is wearing more clothing in all wardrobe options (so that the MC wearing a vampire cape isn’t flashing everyone and all MCs aren’t running around commando with no underwear or socks), but those extra layers and accessories won’t be mentioned in the game. That wardrobe piece is just the most distinctive clothing that the MC is currently wearing.

The game forces a wardrobe change if…

  1. the MC has access to their wardrobe
  2. their current clothes have been badly damaged

You can also do a non-mandatory wardrobe change at times for shits & giggles (or because you think different clothing is more appropriate for an upcoming mission), but if you pick the exact same clothing (both type and color/style) that you just took off then the game will assume that MC switched over to a fresher set of identical clothing… because otherwise, why did you change that specific piece of clothing?

Once again, anything not explicitly mentioned by the game as a wardrobe option will have to be headcannoned and won’t be mentioned in the game.

This is my first time playing the game and I’m enjoying it so far. Can anyone tell me why I’ll occasionally only be able to select a single option without spoiling anything? Is it choice related or scripted?

5 Likes

I actually have, but only once, and I don’t know how or what I did. And naturally, forgot to screenshot it. :roll_eyes: So I never mentioned it, because I couldn’t figure out how to replicate it.

So glad to see this. Because I take it ALL.

Sometimes it’s choice related, sometimes it may be because that part of the game hasn’t been written or coded yet. Like the bookclub route hasn’t been written, so things relating to it won’t be available.

It can be either. Most of them (such as certain character creation options) are locked by previous choices, but a few choices are locked purely to set the atmosphere.

Ah, ok. So the occasions where I see all choices grayed out except for the one with zalgo text is just to set the mood?
