- Unless Orion's death becomes the single most important event in this story, a silly protagonist's death cliffhanger only manages to weaken the dramatic elements of the novel.

It could be a setup for Orion learning the truth about Idriel's identity and coming to terms with his role as a champion of the dead (or being formally inducted into it) if this event ends up sending his soul to Eternum (or Limbo, specifically) and allowing him to actually converse with the dead asking for his help. Right now he is quite unaware of the gravity of his role, nor is it yet explained why he was chosen for such a task or why people like the Syndicate are helping him out. This could be a good opportunity to touch on those aspects of the narrative instead of leaving it to cryptic bullshit up until the very end.

In my theory, Idriel already knew the MC before even entering the game, maybe she helped the MC in the past, so somehow she goes back in time, so one of her lines makes us understand this whole journey that the MC is taking , he does this before. But then something changed that led to death in the real world

madude, it is highly unlikely that reality is dualistic. stick to rational philosophical materialism that you will probably do better. nonetheless, if advice was a good thing... do what will. in regards to the game i don't think the setting is dualistic either considering the theme is cyberpunk in which the universe is usually materialistic with futurism and dystopia. i could be wrong ...some weebs love spiritualism.

Every one of these phenomena could possibly be explained with mental illness and technology.

Except we don't even know if its an actual child, we don't know if every NPC is like Thanatos and is an actual person turned into an NPC. The MC admits this.

If the child NPC truly is simply lines of code then I don't see anything wrong with doing whatever you want to it. Because then it's not an actual person, it's just an object.

More to the point, is that the other playing was saying all the common arguments people make in favor of taboo erotic fiction. "It's not real", "I wouldn't do this in real life", "It's just lines of code". The Developer is throwing stones in a glass house if he's implying that those arguments hold no merit.

love this game but sadly i was disappointed with the update. felt too barebones for how long it took, even if the sex scenes were really good. everything with ekabar and luna was good but it kind of petered out in the next 2 "sections" and was just lackluster. a shame. enjoyed it all the same though, penny is the best as always according to my rating chart rated.jpg

Orion has the 100% compatibility score which is why the dead are seeking him out but why he has that compatibility is still a question.

i think it's pretty obvious that Orion is a budding Immortal. He's the only one who's had portals to Eternum opening nearby at random. According to Bardot, this is the prime ability of the Immortals. The deeper connection to Eternum, exemplified by his high compatibility and strange abilities is just another facet of it.

This would make him prime marriage material for Calypso when she realises it. As for the xenomorph thing.... My guess is just some random threat that somebody awakened/attracted by chance. Eternum is implied to be a massive multiverse with the numbers filed over. So it would make sense for it to have a terrors from the dark kinds of threats.

I just don't agree that Orion was really getting arrogant. The only time where he was even remotely arrogant was in the alley with the junkies and even then his reaction was perfectly warranted, if some bum comes demanding change from you punching them in the face is the correct choice. If anything his only screw up was by not taking it farther and making sure the enemy was down for the count.

Wait, what?

Someone asks for a cigarette or some change, and you think the correct response is to punch them in the face and his mistake was to not beat them unconscious?

What kind of American Psycho are you?
