I actually disagree. I think Steel would see the MC as their own, albeit synthetic, person. And I think most of the MC’s actions and decisions would make sense to him once he knew about their past, not that he would necessarily agree with them.

It’ll be funny if Ortega is actually the one to start freaking out and acts in denial from learning MC’s secret(might even start avoiding us or act super awkward when talking with MC) since most of us if not all take for granted that they’ll accept us.

If by funny you mean horribly depressing, xD.
Since that confirms all of Sidestep’s worst expectations and fears. It’d be hard for that relationship to come back from that, even if Ortega does eventually come around. However, I love things that feed the angst machine.

Yeah…can someone explain how exactly does being an asshole be something attractive? Legit was like, “She gonna give me a scar, right? She wouldnt kiss me, right? She’s pissed off…right?” And then that seen comes around and Im more confused than anyone in that story if they found out who the f is behind the mask

People are real into tsunderes?
Being a tsundere and being an ass are different. Tsuderes harm the people the like and fail miserably at hiding their feelings. They also blush and act all cutsy and shtek and act mean to hide they might be a little caring. Im just a straight up ass. I am sarcastic, lazy, patient ass who will hurt you. Argent is a fucking masochistic psycho and its a genuine turn on (<- this is a joke…I hope).

I wouldn’t say that Argents actions are entirely justified, but to be completely fair we are a villain. The first scene in the first book was us possessing her and using her basically as a toy/means to the end. Her being kinda angry about that is pretty understandable, and I think from her point of view she’s made her point on that (she could have done sooo much worse). She’s certainly shaping up to be a more hot/cold (read: intense) relationship then Ortega or Mortum, but she’s not a monster.

Don’t know of how much interest this is for you all or if this has been done before, but I’ve spent some time constructing a flowchart for the alpha version of the auction (update from the 24 march 2019).
It’s obviously a big spoiler, so if you don’t want to know which variables are being checked at which points and which variables are set after various choices, don’t look at it too closely.
It’s a PDF file and the text should be searchable/selectable.

On screen, Daniel answers another one of Caesar’s inane questions, sparking laughter and delight from the enraptured audience. They’re loving him. Tomorrow, they will watch his blood spill on television from the safety of their homes.

Absolutely love this so far!! I’m really interested to learn more about the Farm… The only big continuity issue I noticed in my playthrough was how Ortega reacts to MC in the romance path. We had a thing in the past, then it got complicated and we kissed in the hospital. In the first chapters, when MC meets up with Ortega and walks along the beach, you kiss him, and there’s a line about how this has been happening for months. You kiss him again when you go back to the Rangers looking for him, and the status bar lists your relationship as “open affection”. But then flash forward to the post-therapy scene where MC is getting food with Ortega, and suddenly you both act like you haven’t been casually making out for the past several months. I took a screenshot of this snippet:
And from there, he confessed that he has a crush on MC, and you admit to liking him too, and you both act surprised by it, and it’s implied you haven’t kissed since that hospital scene in Rebirth, even though for the first part of Retribution you’ve kissed / been openly affectionate quite a bit, so it left me confused.
Looking forward to seeing more of this game! The work you’ve put into it is super inspiring!

Update April 27 2019
Update time. And some news.
We’re officially above half a million words for Retribution!
Now that the story is getting longer, the length in itself is getting in the way of testing. So I am trying a new thing. After you’ve made your character, you will get the option to go directly to the auction, after having made a few more story relevant choices up until that point. This way it will be easier to test various auction paths with different settings, I encourage you to explore, and see if you find weird bugs and pathing errors.
Take note: You won’t get to make ALL the choices, just the ones I will use for the story up until that point.
¨
- Added auction shortcut/character creator
- Fixed various auction bugs, and hunted down at least two paths that connected wrong. There’s probably more. There always is.
- Added Dr. Mortum post auction scenes.
- Adjusted some variables for whether you know about the Regenerator or not.
Important: The post-auction is still bare bones and awkward. There will be more post auction variables there as I get around to them, so don’t focus on the transitional bits. Just what happens once you meet Mortum.
As always I am looking for errors in flows, and in knowledge. NO grammar. NO spelling. NO awkward language. NO stats. It will be spruced up and filled out for the beta, this is just me making sure the spine connects.

Seeing how we’re revealing our secret dentity left and right, could we do that to Ortega as well? It’s been a torture for my MC not to reveal his origin given how close he is to Ortega. He would like to see some validation for his existence from Ortega. Maybe if she sees him as more than an object, he could do the same.
