You are EVIL! [WIP] (4 chapters)

There’s lots of potential here, that’s for sure. Some issues though… first, the title even if placeholder, paints a very different idea of the story than what it actually is, so far at least… and the premise, being good vs being evil, it feels more like correct vs wrong than good vs evil for most choices imo.
I did enjoy the story with the “good” path, but so far there might as well have been a choice at the start asking if you want to be good or evil, and just skip all the choices after that. Also perhaps a bit repetitive in terms of dialogue, often it feels like you’re saying the same thing twice during conversations. And some of the words are a bit odd to find in a game of this setting, like “shredded” and “gym” lol.
Hopefully my rambling helps somehow.
I did enjoy it a lot, so regardless I am interested to see where this goes, good luck!

Sorry to intrude but you seem to be forcing yourself not to understand what he’s saying, asking questions and suggestions is normal, and what he’s saying is nothing much since the game itself has a good vs. bad statistic

Ps: I liked it a lot, we’ll see the old couple again?

I liked them. My mc left for their safety since I didn’t want to hurt them more than I did. I think we do see them again later since there is a relationship stat for them both which went up when I did that. For the better or worse somehow they didn’t know who we were.

Also thanks for understanding what I was saying to say about the good v evil in the game

Please focus on the game in your posting, and not anyone posting in the thread.

When another asks you to “drop” the discussion with them, it means stop tagging them or trying to get them back involved in the matter at hand.

It seems to me that there are quite big chunks of text right at the very beginning, this makes it quite daunting to ‘‘get into’’ it. Also it is a shame that the plotpoint of you being the evil ruler is spoiled so early on. I love the premise, but I think you’d do it better service by making the gap between what the player knows and what the character knows at the beginning a bit less grand.

Minor additional point: the early choice of ‘‘thinking about a husband or wife’’. It’d be nice to have a non-binary option there, in addition to one that doesn’t imply a romantic/sexual interest at all.

That said, I really liked it and will be playing it over a few times more.

I think it’s a cute story! I usually go the more wholesome, evil-to-good route anyway, but I can see why some who prefer the opposite might not find this story as enjoyable. BUT as the author, you have to love your work the most and you can’t please everyone. My one critique is that I feel like the story is very fast-paced and short. I wish there was more build-up to realizing that we’re the evil sorceress and more amnesia-reduced build up of our MC before the big reveal. I also can’t tell how much ROs actually will matter/come up in this story. As of now, it seems very much in the background and not really explored. Which is fine if that’s what you’re going for but it did seem at first like it would matter and be in focus more. But our relationship with Faye is the sweetest! Or it can be anyway. :joy:

Really love the good path of redemption and our relationship with Faye.

I thought it was a bit fast finding who we are as well. Realistically someone with no memory is going have a rough time remembering their identity. I like how the way it was revealed but I thought we would have to travel a bit more before it happened

id like to say being evil killing for no reason to some is the reward is the fun of it is the pleasure is the purpose wether they lose stuff or not they have killed so much or brought misery to others or felt such power that they succeeded or felt what they wanted or got what they wanted but i do see what your saying and it would be cool to do all those other things and be able to have different alternatives of being evil

Why does the author keep making the MC want to be good. I get that we lost our memories but that doesnt mean much. We’re still the same person.

Some of us already complained about it being 1 sided but it’s the author’s choice. It just doesn’t make sense for a good vs evil stat if the character can’t be bad sometimes

I could be mistaken has been a while since i played demo but isnt there pptions that could be deemed evil that can be selected? Will half to play again to be sure since i didnt choose them then again tgey could be not evil but judt closer to rude or the like lol

Its not that we cant be bad it the fact that even when we choose the evil options the MC still wants ‘redemption’. Idk if its just me but wanting ‘redemption’ 2 seconds after slaughtering a group of people is kinda stupid.

Yeah i didnt mean we couldnt be evil i meant that even when we pick evil choices our character seems to desperately want to be the good guy and wants redemption/forgiveness. Its just redundant to have a evil/good meter if no matter what you do the MC will always want to be good.

I know what u mean. The only thing thing that annoys me is that u have to fully befriend the child if u want to survive early game. Couldn’t we just get our power sealed away and forced to help out with stuff

Yeah i feel like the relationship between the MC and the kid is verry forced. Like why did we our lives for a person we dont even know.

i feel like the author is trying to get us attached to them but there just arent enough scenes with them for that. Dont get me wrong i really like this game and think it has lots of potential. However it has obvious flaws like this one and the redundant good/evil stat bar.
