The Passenger is OUT!

I’ve been quite lazy on actually reading this, so I took some time to catch up.

Small thing

I noticed in a few locations that there seemed to be an extra space in-between some of your paragraphs. It seems like it’s occurring on the texts after choices. Do you have *line_breaks there?

Honestly, the spleunking scene was so accurate to how I would have reacted, and I’m really glad Roach went with me. Him comforting me after the small tunnel was absolutely adorable and I hope for more tender moments like that with him.

Also, UGH. Every single sex scene you write with Roach is unbearably good. I am so so so so so glad that I didn’t have to give him up in Chapter 4, that would have been disappointing for various reasons.

Really, really looking forward to Chapter 5! Regarding the whole public beta thing, CoG mandates that your game has to go through a full public beta before being submitted to HG. Just keep that in mind. I would also be very sad if I couldn’t get to play the full game, because I really wanna see where all of this is going.

Oh hah I just realised the surname Newman is really witty given the context of the MCs situation…

Roach values their space a lot. Good things happen to those who wait… also I love giving my players small panic attacks when it comes to ROs.

Oh, I didn’t know that. Good to know, thanks :grinning:

@Blackbird I’m so clever.

I’ve literally played this game 5 times and I just now got that. I’m embarrassed to call myself an author. :joy:

This story makes me so happy. ILY Roach, let’s make very bad decisions together forever.

Then I had a peek at the code and saw there’s a second way to make Roach stick around, and wow that’s cold :frowning_face:

“Yellow?” Jonny whispers next to you, “Isn’t it a little cheerful for a cult?”

Some eldritch would be pissed right now

Rise! Cult of Roach!

Uh if you mean what happened in cabin, you let go of him, come back the cabin later, you’ll have extra talking with Roach and even another sex. He wants to go out because…you will find out the reason in that talk.

So, I have been flirting with Jonny since chapter 2, but again, he storms off as soon as I tell him me and Roach are staying at the cult. I have no idea what I’m doing wrong =/

How odd, I’ll take a look at it.

Edit: Anyone romancing Jonny getting the same response?

I tried yesterday with Johnny and the MC and him kissed in front of the car. I will with the MC going to the cult since the beginning. :thinking:

Edit: Played again but going to the cult since the beginning, same ending; MC and Jonny kissing :rofl:

I finally got it! I think the problem was that I wasn’t being friendly enough with Roach, so Jonny was angry with me for rejecting Roach so directly :rofl:

Now that I have been nicer to him I got the scene on Hellbender instead of the fight at the petrol garage, and finally the flirting scene, yuhuuuu!!

Glad to know :grin: And yeah, he’s a little wary when it comes to his friends because of reasons.

I can’t believe Jonny isn’t into Roach. I’m telling you, that kid is denial. My faith will not be shaken.

So, being an otherworldly horror is all well and good, but I would have liked to be a bit nicer about it.
Basically, the options to deal with our family are either “treat them like my real family” or, “disdain them as worthless”.
I would like to see a third option, that still retains the inhumanity and distance, but allows some affection. Something along the lines of: “these humans are entertaining pets, useless of course, but still mine”. Even if you don’t care much about humans as a rule, surely even horrible creatures from beyond the pale are allowed some measure of sentiment, if only out of possessiveness.

Also, I found it very surprising that Roach can only be a man or a woman. Considering who they are, a more fluid gender identity, or non-binary one, seems like a reasonable alternative.

Has anyone gotten the option to choose between Roach and Jonny? Every time I try to get it Jonny just tells me to take care of Roach but that’s only supposed to happen if Jonny feels betrayed. I flirted with both at every opportunity but I didn’t sleep with Roach and I brushed his hand away.
