of course she's not actually dumb lol I'm just joking. Protect her innocence at all costs
that would take the game to a darker turn (MC literally becomes The Crow) for sure, and potentially less interaction between MC and LIs in the next update. Even though your speculation is actually super interesting, I do hope MC doesn't actually die but is instead put into a long coma as his magical ability starts healing.
Yeah, for me it was playing 2 tracks on top of each other. The first one failed to fade out as the second one started up. Had to save and reload to get it to stop playing.
I love her so much. Simply amazing, thank you.
Coma is certainly another possibility, however (without throwing shade) I'd find my thesis more alluring. In any case, taking MC out of the happenings for some time makes sense for the classical hero's journey. Perfect time to lorebomb as well as have him train more AND become humble again, seems a pretty big deal this chapter was to emphasize how cocky he became, yet he would never stand a chance against Thanatos or the Founder despite his growth until now. Also allows the LIs to ground themselves and realign their relationship with MC towards a more harem focused path in his absence, depending on how dark you wanna go you could have them either mourn his death OR just have them clueless about his whereabouts. I mean with my idea at least the LIs could stumble upon MC halfway through his absence while being trapped in Eternum momentarily so we wouldn't miss too much interaction. Could also tie in more Calypso lore/arc into that. It would also solve the issue of MC having his body still in the real world while in Eternum if Cari desires to go down the story path of bleeding cases and MC being a traveller between both worlds further.
Shouldn't be a problem. I have downloaded WIN versions of Renpy games and pasted the game folder into the Renpy editor itself on MAC to continue legit saves in the past and encountered no issues so far. But you never now, save file systems historically are always a bit iffy no matter how much work you put into it.
I love your theory! It also makes sense for providing a path for MC to become a realm traveller and strengthening the bonds between the LIs so the future harem will not only be "one for all" but "all for all“. The only thing I wish is that if this does happen in the future, MC's absence should be a bit shorter than how long the usual "hero's long journey" trope will usually take 'cause I really like to see more of the mundane interactions between MC and LIs.
