Excuse me, WHAT?! I didn’t know that was going to be an option! My emotionally stunted Sherlock wouldn’t be able to handle such an affair.
Slap me down for that LT route!

IS THAT A POSSIBILITY? I NEED MORE INFO!!! But I will 100% play the three paths if they exist: romancing every character individually and then doing any love triangle possible! Please tell me more about the love triangle/s

Whoa, that got a lot of response lol. Just to generally explain what the love “triangles” will be in-game:
Technically all ROs will be “combinable”, meaning there can be triangles, squares, or one pentagon. It won’t be as in-depth as, say, wayhaven. But I will try and write a bunch of content where the ROs clash or comment on jealousy / romance / conflicts / unsuccessful-invites-to-join (in Adlers case). Only at the end will you have to choose, and even then there (might) be one end that’s a… sort of continued triangle.
@rkgk 
Well thankfully, in an IF you can choose who wins the LT! No need to have the favorite lose 
I wouldn’t say I will force one more than the other 
@Cingulum_diaboli
Slight spoiler: we meet H first, then Adler. Adler will appear in chapter 7, so quite late.
@Kirlett I can tell some stuff I suppose 
In Watson’s case it will induce quite a lot of confusion, jealousy, slight possessiveness (if driven to the maximum), an only Watson-route is much more wholesome. Lestrade… well, um, don’t flirt with others in front of them… not recommended.

Why do I get the feeling Adler is going to be hilarious in general 
About Lestrade, you mean don’t literally flirt with others in front of them or like… don’t show any signs of attraction towards other ROs in front of them? I was thinking about the L/W possible triangle and my main Sherlock wouldn’t directly flirt with anyone, but she is is the nervous/blushy type so it’d be very noticeable if she likes someone (or more than one someone 
) even if she isn’t trying to flirt. Would that also get the same ‘NOT RECOMMENDED’ response from Lestrade? Watson sounds fun (HELLO? Slightly possessive? Hellooooooooooo?) But I don’t wanna upset Lestrade a lot, or really hurt them 
Also I was scrolling on Tumblr and this gif reminded me of Lestrade and MC

I just knew that would be peoples reactions My asks are really full of people who want to, 1. maximize angst, 2. torture Lestrade, 3. Torture Sherlock 
@Kirlett 
Adler hopes so!
Yeah, so, especially obvious flirts. I usually track those separately from regular flirts or romance points… I have a lot of variables…
Tho you would still get jealousy content in your example!
That’s exactly why I added it, (also, it really of makes sense for their character and their arc)
Tho I don’t think you can do the LT without a little upset… then you would really have to juggle your variables, both so they don’t get too mad but also not too in love 
sounds… difficult
Aww

Yes, I’m looking forward to choosing one then…NOT LMAO😂
I will probably throw a coin in the end because I doubt I can decide lol
Well, that’s what rereads are for, to choose the other one, heh.

OMG! A LOVE TRIANGLE!!? 
What!? So rare nowadays to see IF that includes LT. I honestly has no recollection about IF that have LT other than WC.
So pumps on seeing this play out, even if it will not be too prominent.

OH my gosh, you have no idea how excited I am about Adler’s appearance!
I don’t much care for Lestrade in the books, but you made me love them, so… I’m pretty sure I’m going to be obsessed with your version of Adler.
I’m crying/screaming already.

When I played the wayhaven LT I always felt bad if I didn’t alternate which RO I chose for events/scenes 
I feel your pain!
@NecroSun Not just that, but love squares, and even a ~ love pentagon ~ as we call it in the discord (well, I do, anyway).
My first route in Wayhaven was the LT, and it sort of got me hyped about IF again. I just felt I had to have it in my game too 
@burninglights Allie! You’re so sweet 
I really hope people will like them! (and maybe be a bit surprised )

My Sherlock: “I love birds.”
Me: “Me too! Go and find us some magpie or a duck to adopt! Or an owl.”

The best I can offer is a strange looking white dove/pigeon 
(owl would be super cool though!)

Yes, if it is not too much work, more shy flirt and sammish, please. 
Not all MCs are created equal and some are not as forward as others, yet got them feels just beneath the surface…

Yess, coming right up! I think it’ll be about two thousand extra words in chapter 1 where Sherlock hangs with Lestrade and has the opportunity to flirt a little (tho nothing too overt)

Sorry but I’ve been wondering since the other day… what does this mean?! I tried looking it up in the dictionary but nothing. Is it a typo? (English is not my first language) I’m super curious tbh

If this is about Lestrade, they might mean sandwich xD

Oops, sorry, I forget sometimes that not everyone knows words like this – but as @Caspiera says, it means sandwich.
I’m not native to English either, by the way, but I devoured so much literature I’ve picked up a lot. Best way to learn, with a dictionary at hand. 
Plus, my better half being an Englishman helps as well.

Thanks!! I found “sammich” but not “sammish”. Are both correct/used? (I like your spelling better, it’s cute haha)

It’s slang, doubt there’s a correct way, only what is locally used. At least until it is officially added to a dictionary, although even words in those can sometimes be spelt in different ways.
One reason I love languages – it’s fascinating how we can communicate ideas and thoughts, whole worlds even, with just scribbles, really. Or sound, in person.

Question:
Would you all want me to add achievements?
I personally don’t hunt for achievements, and I also don’t know if people find them interesting in these type of less stat focused games, so they haven’t been on my mind a lot tbh. But I recently thought of some ideas that could be implemented if people enjoy achievements for games such as this 
*I would probably mostly implement achievements for finding rare routes/content and for making really good or bad decisions and such—also, do writers usually add achievement guides or is that not necessary?
