It would make you look a bad ass though.

So good! I was already deeply in love with your story, but this update just made it even better. I remember reading some of the initial criticism and suggestions and it seems like you really did your best to make everyone happy; allowing us to reject Clemās request and taking away the option about drinking the hunterās brew were, in my opinion, really good changes. Also loved the new interactions between the hunter and Lea, those little moments before and after the wraith fight were great!

Aaaah I love the setting and mood of this! The horror is done so well it really feels like weāre in a frightening dangerous world 
and the flirt options were sooo cute 
I may or may not have told Clem to beat it just so I could have some alone time with Lea, sorry buddy 
I imagine theyāll show up again so I hope theyāre not too mad with me lol. Iām loving the hunter being confused why theyāre suddenly so aware of Lea and Lea being shook as well, Iām already so invested in this relationship lol
I love horror and romance so getting both of those things at once has me pretty hyped, looking forward to more!

Hey! Minor update for 09/26/20!
I adjusted the code so the friendship/rivalry stats are more accurate now. I will probably tweak it more in the future because I am bad at math but for now theyāre better than they were before!
And speaking of me being bad at math, I also fixed some code that I messed up because I canāt do basic addition LOL. It was causing a scene and some dialogue not to trigger with Lea at the very end of the demo, nothing super major but I definitely encourage everyone to replay before the next narrative update, because depending on if you trigger that scene it will change the opening of chapter one for you and have an impact on your time in Blackwater.
Finally, I also edited the dream sequence because it was really bothering me and I couldnāt leave it any longer. I expect Iāll do a few more of these minor updates to the prologue before the next big narrative update, which Iām aiming to do October 22nd, so a month from this last update now.
Thanks everyone for reading, and for your feedback and support!

does anyone have bad feeling that the mission were sent on is non-negotiable we do it or we die feel to it I just have that feeling and how we got to the end but Iām wondering how many people would it take to kill our main character even if theyāre wounded my bet is 20

This is really good and the interactions between characters so far has been great! I donāt think Iām wording this right but everything seems to flow nicely so far! I didnāt see any errors or spelling mistakes in my play though so far btw

Update 10/13:
Major edits done throughout the prologue, and of course, we now have the opening of Chapter 1. We finally get to see the full main cast in action! Iām posting this earlier than originally planned because I am ahead of schedule at the moment for once. Going forward, I am planning for the next update to be the full release of Chapter 1, and will probably include more edits and also a more polished version of the opening scene. For now, though, I really wanted to get all the ROs out there, even with the briefest of introductions.
Stats page still only has relationships and is almost accurate, but expect it to get more balanced in the future.

When talking to a certain someone about a certain offer, would it be possible to have an option to decline because you donāt like that they suggested going behind Leaās back (even if your relationship is rocky right now)? Maybe two, one for it being dishonorable and one for just not wanting to betray her like that?
While Iām at it, Iād like to say that I really like your game. The complicated relationship between Lea and the MC is fascinating, the MCās personality generally feels flexible enough for individual interpretion while still being independent enough to surprise me, and the setting is the kind of thing Iāve always wanted to play with. Itās one of those ones where almost every time I check the forums, Iām hoping Iāll see it updated.

I agree with @Ixion_Xenia and I would also like it if we had the option to tell Clementine that we would only agree to the deal only if lea was in on it as well. Like no lea? Than no deal. Instead of agreeing and not agreeing cause of mc reasons. Mine was pretty attached to lea so such an option was only natural. Sticking with lea to ride and die with him.
Another if your taking āi would like anotherā option suggestion:
To me all three options given felt extreme to me one way or another. More variation to react wouldāve been welcomed. Especially give for my Detached mc. An option that was just pure indifference, no panicking or being stunned even tho the moment come out of no where.
I love this I run out of likes so hopefully once they return Iāll like the f$outaa this thread.

@Ixion_Xenia thank you sooo much! i really appreciate it. i feel like i definitely struggle with the MCās personality the most because i donāt want to railroad and iām still figuring it out as i go so i love hearing that!
also ngl i didnāt even think of that as an option but i love it, iām taking notes lol. i will definitely plan to add that in the future.
@Nagisa18 and same with ur suggestion as well! iāll definitely work on both those scenes to give more variety for the MC.
always love the feedback i get here bc you all come up with stuff i completely miss while writing and i super love it. itās fun to get different perspectives so i can give more personality to the hunter. and of course thanks for taking the time to read and post your thoughts it means a lot to me!

Well the new update is very good and in par with the previous chapter and the prologue. However, on a more personal note, I do think that when the MC is in the cabin the interactions with the pirate adn the healer that whole cabin scene, I felt a drastic change from the hardcore badass MC to a more companionable one. Iām not sayin itās bad or anything but the whole badass schtick was very good, overall, awesome!
PS- clementineā¦ offering backhand dealsā¦how dare ye clementine?!

This was fantastic, I like that we got to know the whole cast. They really have their own personalities. I got a good feeling for them. Clementines offer is interesting 
I would like to help them but I really do not know them and going against Leah aaa I really donāt knowā¦ if we denied the offer do we get it again at a later occasion?

@Paradox1 thank you!
as for the cabin scene, would you be interested in seeing more aggressive dialogue options? ngl i really struggled with the dialogue in that piece and i definitely have plans to edit and refine it in the future, as well as adding more āreflectionā options throughout where the MC can comment in their mind about whatās happening, if that makes sense. i always seem to have an easier time finding the MCs voice in editing scenes rather than when i initially write scenes
@Isi_Talks heheā¦perhaps 
i will be adding in more dialogue options for that scene in the future too, just based on feedback iāve gotten!

@kit some aggresive dialogue will be appreciated but itās not wholly necessary. No need to go out of your way to include it but itāll a nice option to the whole thing I feel like. Definitely past reflections sound awesomeš

I really loooove this, canāt wait for your next update! (Though i second the suggestion of having the option of agreeing with Clemās deal only if Lea is in on it too.)
Keep up the good work, i think your writing is sublime and the story and its characters are perfectly un-perfect (if that makes sense?). <3

The writing here is honestly so good, I finished the demo in one sitting and was so engaged. The vibes are just. Chefs kiss. So excited to see what you have planned next!
I love all the characters, Lea and Clem especially, and I canāt wait to continue to be nice to them because I hate being mean lol.

I felt this was a very good read. Well-written, well-paced, and world/plot/character building has been done in a way that feels natural. From reading the comments, any thoughts I would have mentioned have already been mentioned. I look forward to updates.

Hello, I really love this and am hyped about where the story is going 
Did catch a bug, regarding Noelās pronouns, on my latest playthrough. She was set as she/her the time:
You squint against the light in the hallway, seeing Noel standing there.
āGood afternoon, hunter,ā Noel says with a smirk. You give him a cold look, stepping back into the room, still rubbing at your eyes.
Noel staps halfway inside, clasping her hands in front of her.
