Second Chances - [New 14/12/2024]

Poor little amnesiac rich boy our mc. :cry:

This story seems to have great potential although I did find the mcā€™s ā€œgirlfriendā€ annoying, but that might just be because I, like many others, suspect her of having a hidden agenda and because Iā€™m used to being able to choose my mcā€™s sexual orientation.
Still without his memories the mc is functionally a very different person now and sheā€™ll find that in my case it turned him gay too. And heā€™s currently falling hard for his silent, stoic guardian.

In other words, keep up the good work.

I do have some questions though, mainly how much does the mc remember of his education? It is mentioned that we can read, with the newspapers and use a laptop but cannot drive a car anymore. Iā€™d hate for the poor guy to have to (almost)completely do over his education.
So how much does the mc remember of those skills and will we eventually be able to recall more, or will we have to learn (almost) everything all over again?

I took a big part of the afternoon to play this game andā€¦ I love it! I loved the plot and the mcā€™s background, the amnesia thing and the bodyguard. I love him. I just choose to call him Mikhail I donā€™t know why, but I just imagined him like a big russian brooder guy and my mc tends to be friendly towards him, what I think is cute.
About the others characters I like them too. Tony whit his cocky attitude and all, I think itā€™s very funny being around him. But Alice is the character I like the most, and I can say my mc too. :smirk:
I was very surprised that out of nothing a mysterious boyfriend appears, and it was a guy. I just made my mc thinking of her being homosexual, but okā€¦ At least he didnā€™t obliged her to stay with him as lovers.
Well, I like it so far and I wish you good luck with this wip. :slight_smile:

Love your story canā€™t get enough of it did not have a chance to accidently kill anybody. But what happened to tony when chose the other option. I was very worried I accidently killed him. Must say I love Alice as my MC bae though I already see LANI liking victor so Iā€™ll just tell her to have him while I have Alice! :smiling_imp:. Canā€™t wait for more. Also love the way our mc grows heā€™s/sheā€™s not the defenseless character weā€™ve seen at the beginning its good that we toughen up and have the options. Do we learn something else than of having a gun as a defense tool. Like idk martial arts from tony or something like that.

Oh yea Tony reminds me a lot of doujima from the persona series.
Lian/Liam- like hope from ff13 disliking right away but maybe Iā€™ll warm up to him
Ares(body guard) as the Sebastion from black butler
Alice-(must say my MC love interest) the girl from watchdogs with a mix of jinx from league of legends)
Victor- adachi person who might be like able but I think going to stab me in the back heā€™s another hacker.
Sorry if this is off topic but definitely Tony is a lot like doujima from the persona series because of his smoking but personality wise as well. Awesome story you put in here especially the characters

This is really really good! I finished what there was in one sitting, I was so engrossed! And Iā€™m glad to find that Iā€™m not the only one who has the hots for our bodyguard :heart_eyes:

Are you planning to work on this alongside FAWR or will you start updating this after your first project is complete?

@idonotlikeusernames
The MC knows the basic stuff; reading, writing, mathematics, riding a bike should they stumble upon oneā€¦ Such things. Skill come back over time, which is why the MC leans to handle a gun rather quickly. While they still donā€™t know everything immediately, the memories are there. We just need to trigger them so that they return.

For example: (Spoilers ahead)

Alice trains us with a gun should we ask her upon gaining said weapon. Itā€™s no dramatical reveal nor anything else, but should we gain it from Xerxes or Tony, then we trigger a flashback. So far, we can trigger up to three if I am not mistaken, each one partly hidden. They will reveal a part of the past, slowly filling the Memory bar in the stat screen. The higher the memory stat is, the better our MC will become in certain situations. (Depending if that flashback helped with whatever the MC struggles with, of course.)

@ThroneofTime
Yes, Xerxes will be one of the ROā€™s of this game.

@haepari
I am planning on working on this game along side FAWR, either when I need a break from my first game to clear my head a bit. Itā€™s actually a bit refreshing to work on other projects for once.

Whilst I was working on my FF a while back, I found that I should take a day or two off from writhing it, and try to do something outside then that way I would get inspiration for what to write next whenever I got stuck. All without the help of the addictive caffeine, the writers one weakness :smile:

P.S canā€™t wait to romance Xerxesā€™ I wonder how heā€™ll face a romance situation, great at killing, nooot so great at being romantic :blush: :smile:

Two reasons as to why we should romance Alice:

  1. She created Ziggy, the lovable robot that acts like a dog.

  2. When you play along with her flirts, you catch her off guard and itā€™s freaking adorable.

One reason why I shouldnā€™t, sheā€™s not the gender Iā€™m usually attracted to, Ziggy is adorable though.

On a more serious note, anyone know how we can get the gun from our silent, stoic guardian or Tony, instead of Alice, as Iā€™ve apparently missed that one on all my three playthroughs thus far?

Guys, have to tell you somethingā€¦I hate Alice, sheā€™s irritating (I.like Ziggy though, heā€™s just too adorable!!!)
Runs away into the distance before @Nathan_Faxon can retaliate

Just donā€™t accept the gun from Alice and I think let Xerxes steal.

@moonwalkerdragon thereā€™s many reasons to hate Alice. Sheā€™s arrogant, selfish and very materialistic. Not to mention she loves to patronise everyone XD to see her positive traits, you need to work for them.

Nope because she will force you to take the gun, you just need to avoid her and Ziggy and Xerxes or Tony will give you a gun I thinks that is correct.

Well we are all entitled to our own opinions.

Wellā€¦ She doesnā€™t take no for an answer, thatā€™s for sure xD

Just donā€™t seek out for Ziggy. If you search for Alice, she will just give you access to the hunter network. Also, if you want to see a more human side to her, let Tony die and keep a high enough RS with her and talk to her at Victorā€™s place.

2 Likes

Yep, thatā€™s for sure an I can now see why most people avoid her.

But anyway, does anyone wonder what our ā€œBodyguardā€ would say if he wanted to speak to our MC or anyone? I think he would just yell since he has killed to many people. But on the other hand, do you think he would speak if the MC said he could, coz I think thatā€™s the case since the MC is high class AND Xerxes ā€œmasterā€ so it would make sense.

Just like the others said, you need to tell Xerxes to steal, and do not seek Alice out when they arrive at her home. She will give the MC a gun, regardless if they want or not. There are quite a few scenes that all of you havenā€™t seen yet, so go and explore :smiley:

Is that at the beginning of the game you tell him to steal? Like, when you have the choice of Stealing is wrong, stop & I guess it is nessasry (sorry if I got the wrong words) but anyway is that where you mean or is it further on in the story?
P.S how many scenes are there?

Thatā€™s exactly the place I meant. Yes, you need to select it there.

Another thing, is anybody wondering about Glitch? Apparently the greatest bounty hunter seen?
