I feel like Iâm late to the party! Damn work for interfering with my re-union with my much loved Bee. I had yesterday off, so I was able to get in a play through by staying up late into the night. The story is sooooo good. I had so much fun! I tend to lurk in the shadows on social media, but I do stick up my head on occasion to make a comment or two. By the way, I didnât know that the system limits your number of likes? I ran out as I was reading through all the comments on this and the HG announcement thread, hehe.
@lacunafiction Congrats on the release. What an accomplishment!! I looked back at when you posted the initial demo (June, 2021) to the date of submission (June/July 2022) and I was amazed. The book was so well thought out and developed. I enjoyed learning about all the LI options and seeing how they interacted with my MC, Daisy. The LIs had depth something that I have often found missing in traditional books and iwithn some of the other IF games. I plan to begin a JR route play through later today!
I love the Catâs Cradle roomâtoo many kitties, not possible. It is a little creepy how the room morphs after waking up from the nightmare. But, I still wouldnât opt for anything else.
BeeâSweet Honey Bee-- what can I say about you? Daisy loves your sweet, somewhat innocent disposition. Your support is unending and your care so obvious. You dropped everything to come to this dang town with her and now it looks like you are stuck there, but at least you are in Fernweh together. Daisy adores Beckettâs shyness and his loyalty. She nearly swooned when she saw the yellow rubber ducky pajamas!
I have good news for those MCs romancing Beckett @E_RedMark (are you romancing B too?) @Momora@Curious_Boy âŚyou can get a sweet cheek kiss from himâDaisy did! It was so gentle, so sweet, such a turn on for her (Daisy melted in all the right places after that kiss, ). It was so worth the build up and the wait, but also Bâs cautious hesitancy moving slowly for Daisyâs sake makes me anticipate what will come in Book 2. I think there is much more in store! The kiss is at the end as Daisy and Sweet Bee are leaving (or at least they think they are leaving) town.
I am so intrigued by many of your theories about what is actually going on in the town. I am not going to weigh in now; I want to do another play through slowly to see if I can pick up on some of the clues some of you on this thread have alluded to. Time for another startâJR watch out.
At the end of the game after your character has packed up their things. Choose that you have gotten closer to Becca/Beckett during your time in Fernweh. Then after you leave town you can choose to kiss her/him
edit: apparently I canât read lol. To get the âcheek kissâ, choose the option to lean over to kiss her, then worry about ruining your friendship.
@markamadeo No, that isnât how it works. Edit: Nvm, I just saw your edit. >.<
@SnowflowerIn chapter 13, itâs the choice option where you lean over to kiss Sweet Bee but worry about messing up your friendship and pause. I wonât spoil it, but Beeâs reaction is surprising and you do get the cheek kiss. I donât want to spoil it any more! It is one of my favorite scenes with Daisyâs romance of Beckett.
I like all of them, but my heart is set on J and R.
But I do love B yes, she is so sweet with her rambling
Lol take your time to play the game and see everything (There is so much!), we arenât going anywhere
I just had a Genius idea!
@lacunafiction how about this for a request for book 2? Everytime B ramble, the mc get to steal a kiss! Think about it! It would save you from writing those long interruptions linesâŚ
Granted, B will be redder than my AvatarâŚbut she is so cuteeeeee, and that would give an opening to some CPR stuffâŚso as you can see, we-- I mean everyone benefitâŚespecially B
My Sweet Bee, Daisy is looking forward Book 2 and hoping for the opportunity to see more of Beckettâs cute/sweetsexy nightwear. Maybe he has pajamas with bears on them? Or maybe cats ? Although Beckettâs devastated reaction at the end of Book 1 was crushingâDaisy hated to see him so upset. She was actually more upset about him being stuck than herself.
@E_RedMark Ergh, I canât give your post a like right now. Does anyone know the limit or how to increase it (is this even possible?)?
I donât know how other B romancers might feel, but Daisy would sacrifice her own happiness for him to at least have the chance to leave. Say, if only he could go out of the town while Daisy had to remain, then she would let him decide to leave or to stay. Daisy would not blame him or be mad at him; she would understand. She would definitely miss him and hope that given a choice, he would stay. I am guessing Beckett probably wouldnât leave since he stayed by Daisyâs side during all of this. I am not sure what Daisy will be facing going forward in Fernweh, but she would obviously need Beckettâs support and loyalty. And Beckett would give her his all. As I said, I am not sure how others feel, but that is my take on it.
itâs okay lol the hearts will refill themselves. I think its 100
Knowing Becky, I personally wouldnât wish her to leave. She is a worrier, she wouldnât be happy, or be able to function if you stayed stuck behind. Add to that, this is a journey that may have the mc at it center, but everyone will be impacted and they will hurt, love, and cry and growâŚand growth is important.
B may get scared, but it be worth it in the endâŚnot just because of the mc, but for themself, maybe they will find something they werenât looking forâŚa strength, a resolveâŚ
@E_RedMark Wow 100, I guess I really liked a lot of comments this morning. I need more!!
Daisy would not want Sweet Bee to leave either. I think she would at least need to make it a choice so that if things get worse in the future then she will not blame herself for what happens. You are so correct that the challenges that they face together might strengthen Bee as a person as well as strengthen their relationship. Daisy would hate it however if the events in the town drastically changed Beeâs personality. Bee does justifiably get scared (Daisy was terrified too), but you are probably right that it will all be worth it in the end. Not preachy at allâgreat analysis of the situation
@ChiggerCat
Hello! Itâs great to see you again! Iâve been thinking about you (and your lovely bouquet of MCs ) over the last few days. I hope youâve been well!
Even though Marcie isnât romancing Becca, she feels similarly about wanting to do what she can to help her leave the town. Seeing her dear friend so upset about being stuck in Fernweh at the end gives her the resolve to want to try and find a way to get her out of there, even if that means they would have to say goodbye at the end. Becca has been a true friend and nothing but supportive and strong for Marcie throughout everything, so if Marcie can do the same for her and help her break free and be safe from whatever is going on in the town, then sheâll do it in a heartbeat.
(However, Marcieâs feelings regarding herself leaving Fernweh are in complete opposition to Beccaâs. Originally, she was uncertain about leaving (There are good and bad memories of the town. Itâs probably best to leave for now.), but as she developed as her own person, that changed, and she doesnât want to leave (You can see yourself living in Fernweh.)âshe never wanted to leave to begin with. She is where she belongs. (But she would never force or expect Becca to feel the same way.))
@E_RedMark
Yep, I did! Iâve been wanting to change it since the beta test back in April, but held off for obvious reasons (and kept my fingers crossed that the name wouldnât get taken in that time). (I did leave my icon the same though so as not to completely confuse people.)
Arthurâs feelings about leaving Fernweh are actually rather close to Beccaâs. After the final confrontation in the fateful trip, heâd made peace with the past, and decided to try and reconstruct the metaphorical home he lost in the fire outside of Fernweh (perhaps with Becca and Waffles in it). If he returned to Fernweh, it would be as a visitor (or as a monster-hunting ally and heâd encourage people to come visit him in his new home outside Fernweh this timeâSilas, Reese and Jane in particular). He and Becca would be rather united in their desire to leave, but Arthur would kick himself for being so foolish to think they could just walk away after his grandfatherâs suspicions turned out to be warranted and more than bloodsucking tree monsters might be realâŚheâd think Marjorie was right and that heâs only hurt Becca by bringing her to Fernweh (never mind that she chose to come and she didnât regret coming when he asked her in the woods).
Yeah, a romance with B is the only one where my mc MAY and I insist on âMayâ deciding to leave Town for good and look at the horizon. (If there is a Town left by the time Iâm done lolâŚremember my prediction? It is like in buffy? Sunnydale, craterâŚhappy me running under the Sunset away forever? Lol)
But for J and R and S? nope. (Unless again, there is no Town left lol).
I mean, can you see S leave their mom? and their B&B? No way. Jâs job is there so are their families. And R canât either. Wonder how long is Mrs. Verner LeashâŚ
Btw @lacunafiction one thing I found odd and I wanted to ask you, but why Ms. Verner isâŚwell a Ms= Miss. Shouldnât she be Mrs? (she is a Widow, not divorced or anything. Unless Verner is her name? and not her husband?)
It is a little creepy how the room morphs after waking up from the nightmare. But, I still wouldnât opt for anything else.

Daisy loved that cheek kiss.
? 
but thatâs how I feel.
I need more!!

tho Iâd say my MC is rather indifferent around the dog.
