Usually i'm not fan with this Unity model design. But DAMN the game is super good, the story fascinating, the characters are unique and the sex scenes (especially Alex and Penny) are superb. Now i'm fan of this game.

They're not made in Unity. They're made in a game called Honey Select 2.

...HS2's engine is Unity tho, so he's not technically wrong.

I played through it again and felt there's something unusual about Luna: She was the one who gave the protagonist the login device; she led the protagonist to the Red Herring to obtain a destruction gem; she introduced the protagonist to Nova—a hacker who possesses Dione; and even the first time the protagonist freely entered the eternum world was during a trip to Mexico with her. This is too crucial, greatly driving the story forward. Could this be foreshadowing? Could she be a member of Syndicat, or is it simply the author's preference for Luna?

She who controls the (extra) spice(-y tacos) controls the universe!

...Cynthus?

...Cynthus?

I mean Syndicat.

I like your theory! You've noticed an interesting chain of coincidences. But of course, the real question is whether all these events you've pointed out are actually coincidences.
I don't know the answer to that. However, I think if Luna were to work for the Syndicate, it would make us question our feelings about many characters, such as Luna, Viktor, her grandmother and her uncle, as well as our experiences with them. This would create a new conflict in the story that would need to be resolved. To be honest, I don't really want that, because it would lead us astray from the main story. And also I don't really believe that. It would kind of be out of character for both Luna and Viktor. On the other hand, I find the idea that a cosmic force of which Luna isn't even aware of has been guiding her towards Nova and then Orion intriguing. I would really like things to unfold that way.

The gem thing, in the Red Herring, happened because Syndicate member showed up to give them a hint. Also before the Vampire/Warewolf choice, there is coin toss, where your choice don't matter. After the section you chose, there is someone that track Orion and they are even shown.

I think the Syndicate is messing with things in the background. Remember the envelope (given before the heist) with the instruction to not open it now, and how it can't be given later, because things won't work that way. This, along with a few other hints, point how either "the story is in time loop" or "Orion is not first potential Hero/Savior with ton of others having failed before him".

Also, Orion did get phone call early in the story, which point toward there being IRL members of the Syndicate, as well as ones in-game. Regarding the implant, i honest think this was just the author's way of kicking the story off. If you fail it, there is funny scene and then you can try again, meaning that not gaining the implant was never option.

And this is literally the first thing she says to MC. It could be relevant to the situation of the NPCs...

No, she is just the best, easy as that.

Yeah...well...in a way she's apparently correct, even if she just said it as a joke.

 

[sausageballs]

Well, you guys, Luna's character is defined by her strangeness, right? It could definitely have greater meaning, but I think counting every strange interaction with her isn't a productive way to theorize about her motives.

But I definitely do think something might be up with her too! cool theories

Yeah, if she touch people she see visions, except with Orion.

Anybody sayd anything bad about luna? My pitchfork is ready and we didnt burn anyone alive this month, whos the one who comited heresy about luna?

Actually it's theorized on Cari's Discord that the phone call could've been a bleeding incident given that Orion was tired from the train ride (which would make him quite sleepy but not TOO sleepy) and conveniently alone in the park. So the Syndicate reaching out to him while he's partially bleeding into Eternum doesn't sound strange given what we know so far.

Also Lunas uncle... Somehow I think he is a big Player in Eternum. Or he really just owns a Cartel.
