The Passenger is OUT!

@Jender

I pointed out how I don’t like it when she/he makes eyes at that assistant, she/he goes “Lol, yeah nah” and gets mad at me and says this can’t work out anyway, my character goes “Yes it can :(“ they go to run off, then just start picking the Yandere options such as stopping her from leaving, not letting go, ordering her to stay, the works.

So basically handle the situation as poorly as possible when she/he begins rejecting you, and it’ll become a flat out one I think.

Hope my mad ramblings helped!

Also throughout the game I only picked the shy flirt options, not the assertive ones, and occasionally didn’t pick a flirt option depending on the situation but 90% of the time I did, so I think the level of regection mostly depends on how you deal with the situation in the final bits of chappy 4

How do you get him to sleep with you after the rejection? I get a total rejection for him.

I do the flirtiest flirt options, slept w him in his apartment, called him out on flirting w the cult dude but did the nicer options re: being together, I think. It’s a really cute end to this portion of the demo…good luck!

@LordNanachi If you treat Roach forcefully, so that’s what you can get. If you let them go, they just need some space, some time to…gather their thoughts? They had a not-so-happy history, they did not exactly mean to rejecte you when they want to get out, that’s just my insist though, if you let them go, whether you go out yourself or stay in the cabin, Roach will come back later that night, then they will confess, they will confide a fragment of their history, they are kind of…afraid? uncertain? That history will tell you more, then you can have sex with them if you kiss them later.

If you want things between you two smooth and sweet, just

let them go~ let them go~ (singing Elsa)

Replayed the game, found this.

Summary

I came to two conclusions

  1. This is a typo, must be “customer”
  2. Johnny’s life is so good that he got himself not only a secretary …

I come bearing not so great news; my drive to write seems to be a little low and so CH5 is taking me a lot more time than it has any right to (only 9k words out of a goal of 20k/25k). Chances are CH5 won’t be ready before this month ends.

But to soften the blow I decided to make that tumblr, so if anybody is interested can go there and do tumblr stuff dunno.

If u need some HYPE we are here to hype you up! Prompts, weird questions, whatever, you got it. But don’t worry about things taking longer than planned, that’s what plans are for, right? For us to not meet them.

Gonna go find that tumblr now

@pimenita did I ever tell you, that scene with Tamara and everyone scream, is HILAAARIOUS! Tell me you gonna make more fun scene like that! Maybe something with Roach…someone gotta laugh at her ass at some point…may as well be my mc who is sleeping with her lol .

Haha probably, I don’t plan that stuff really, it kind of happens.

And thanks everyone, you’re the best :blush:

I know what you mean . Humour is rarely planned, and you got the kind of humour I love. So I say, let it out…if it happen, it happen . I’ll be the first to laugh :wink:

poke ew…you are on Twiddle! don’t get cooties! :smile:

Edit: “Go ahead,” you say, feeling like an idiot. Go ahead? Who says that? What does that even—? Grap Pmenita Its SO MuSHY! How dare thee write SO Mushy!! I love IT! Damn YOU!

Hum…there is one things that doesn’t …well work .

Went to see Fiama (cose romancing her), so Roach is all friendly . So after I did that, I got another choice and I choose to go see Roach . So found her in a white robe, after a shower right ? So she talk blahblahblah . But once that scene where she tell me about laying eggs lol (Seriously? Lol)…the next scene say ‘‘you came back to an empty room-Lodging’’ . So that doesn’t work with that scene…since the last thing you say is ‘‘go to sleep…’’ .

I don’t know how to quote myself and keep it under a read more so copy paste it is.

Complete Conspiracy Theory List, subject to revision:

LIKE RIGHT NOW. also cleaned up and edited my babbling mess from last time.

  1. First of all I feel vindicated about the yellow shirts that were driving me insane last chapter AND I now know all my wild theories must ALL be true so thank you, truly, Pime, for validating my paranoia.
    :heavy_check_mark: DOUBLE CONFIRMED

WHATEVER THE FUCK THIS WAS. WHAT ARE YOU HIDING YOU LITTLE SHIT.

  1. Roach can do much more than they have stated.

FIELD NOTES - What we have seen so far:

  • they can mess with radio waves and they messed up the security feed in the gas station. Possibly electricity? Decent chance they can mess with other types of waves on the electromagnetic spectrum.

  • Are our “ripples” considered on this spectrum?
    :x: INCORRECT

  • It’s been stated they can shape shift but we haven’t actually seen it yet.

  • Their eyes certainly see differently than human eyes.

  • No need for sleep.

  • Do they need to eat or is that just for fun?
    :heavy_check_mark: CONFIRMED FUN

  • How do they use and consume energy? Are they self sustaining or are they collecting energy some other way?

  1. If I was a shifty little barnacle trying to sidle up next to an enormous powerful egotistical eating machine, I would downplay my power to fit in with its view of me. Let their ego fill in the gaps. My theory is Roach is exaggerating here to make them sound like the smallest threat possible.

  2. Only getting attacked by the cave monster on one of the routes. I have a couple theories with this one.

  • First of all, a question; since this entity was hard for human brains to comprehend does this mean it wasn’t a Vessel but another smaller Roach-sized being that can live on Earth on it’s own?
    :heavy_check_mark: CONFIRMED

  • Obviously still higher on the food chain than Roach, though, if their terror was to be believed.
    :heavy_check_mark: CONFIRMED ROACH IS AN ABSOLUTE NOBODY. AN INSIGNIFICANT PIPSQUEAK, A WORTHLESS FRAGILE KNAVE, IF YOU WILL.

  • What are the chances that they would find ANOTHER entity in this small area when Roach said it was rare to run into another of their kind? Was Roach lying? Did Roach summon this thing? It seemed to be able to successfully mess with our mc’s mind enough to disable them.

  • Alternate theory to Roach summoning this thing: If we go thru the tunnel as well, it would have to attack the both of us at the same time. Can it tell the mc is powerful? Perhaps it only attacks Roach when they go off by themself whereas it is deterred from revealing itself if we are also present. Did we inadvertently protect Roach? Is this why Roach is sticking to us like glue? Because it’s actually safer for them even with the Hunter stalking us? This could also explain why it doesn’t chase us through the cave, because Roach has made it back to our side.

  • This also brings up a second question which is what exactly is the mc’s current powers and what do they give off to others from their realm? Are they just radiating waves constantly? Is Roach feeding off our energy just by being next to us?

  • Also a question for Pime: the mc threatens Roach a lot with how powerful they are but can they actually DO anything right now? We know they blinked a truck out of existence but that was an accident. Is there anything they can control? Is there anything to back up the threats? This might be a nice thing to actually mention in-game as well.
    :heavy_check_mark: CONFIRMED MC IS HOPING NO ONE LOOKS BEHIND THE CURTAIN INCLUDING THE MC

  1. Roach isn’t as old as they say they are/ the world isn’t as empty of their kind as they say it is. Basically that Roach knows we have very limited knowledge of Earth and are very young here and one of the tricks they could use would be altering the mc’s perception for whatever their goal is.

FIELD NOTES:

  • The cave entity

  • Roach conveniently remembered that their cult made them more powerful even though they previously stated that they use energy differently and so hadn’t paid attention to it before.

Addendum:

  1. I need to list this entire concept of Roach editing themself to appeal to the MC.
    “As a perception tweaker, Roach will always pick the gender the MC is more attracted to”. I assumed this meant that they did some research into us (which we already knew they did per their conversation in the gas station) before making contact or that they have great gaydar for the closeted folks BUT.
    I SUBMIT NEW INFORMATION.
    “Roach cheats because they smell vaguely of whatever MC likes the smell of.” (lifted from tumblr)
    WHAAAAAT. HOW DO THEY KNOW THIS. I submit the new terrifying theory that Roach can, to some extent, read our minds.

I always accept both! :innocent:

Also, Future Detectives, if anyone would like to contribute to the list they are most welcome. I know I haven’t read everything so if someone’s seen something suspicious, either more Field Notes for current theories or evidence of a new theory, feel free to let me know and I will add it with credit to you of course. All I ask for new theories is that you have at least one piece of evidence to go off of (that way no one can accuse us of being wackadoodles, am I right? :alien::space_invader:)

How does one ACTUALLY sleep with Roach back at the apartment? I picked options that I thought equated to Newman and Roach doing the do, but my lack of a particular option later in the game implies that I did NOT in fact manage to do the horizontal with Roach.

You have to be bold; ask them if they want to shower with you, then prance naked and tell them they don’t know when to stop talking. It isn’t for all MCs. Shy ones get a more slow burn kind of deal.
