different situations

the duel had both MC and the other guy, conscious about that the duel may kill one of them(also you have the choice to convince the other guy to surrender) basically...they knew the consequences and they were mentally prepared for it

The Inquisitor's death: it's a situation where if he didn't attack, his soon-to-be-wife and her bestfriend would have died

What induces MC into vomiting is the fact that he killed the Inquisitor like he was some sort of dangerous animal...also he killed him from behind. No mental preparation, no other solutions to solve this problem, he was forced...now he just needs to process this whole thing
True, but on the other hand the MC has more reasons to rationalize the death of the Inquisitor than the other one.
Even the AI explains the impending doom if he doesn't act in that moment the way he does.
I think he overreacts a bit but that's my opinion.

That's precisely why i said that he needs to process the whole thing, and to process the thing he needs time...also he killed the guy in cold blood...that may affect too


also let's keep in my mind that people are different: what affects you may not affect me and viceversa

Reason means a lot loess than time with this stuff. I can't remember exactly how long it was but I think the MC had a week to learn swordplay before the duel. That meant he also had a week to rationalize the fact that he was about to kill a man. The inquisitor caught him off guard and gave him no chance to prepare. Not to mention the psychological difference between killing someone in a legally sanctioned duel and killing someone in cold blood. Regardless of how that other dude rationalized it the MC killed that man in furtherance of a previous crime, that'd be called cold blood by just about anyone on that island other than the 3 of them.
Not to mention the man he killed in the duel was an obnoxious NTR villain who wanted to murder him and fuck his woman, someone who the MC already wanted to beat and humiliate. Not some officer of the church that he'd spent his entire life admiring.

Killing in cold blood suggests he had another viable choice. He did not. Without the plague he could have chosen to surrender himself and the women to the "mercy" of the government. The plague meant that he couldn't even allow an arrest. As I said earlier, technically murder, but a necessary killing. It would be viewed as cold blood by the islanders because they are unaware of, and unable to accept, the existence and consequences of the plague.

What doesn't fit is that this possible situation wasn't considered before it occurred. Venturing out of isolation for any reason carries the risk of exposing someone, innocent or otherwise, and the only option, other than adding them to the expedition and forcing them to leave the island, is to kill them and burn the body. The explanation as to why Emily stayed in her old house demonstrates that all three were well aware of the risk.

Another aspect is that this ongoing discussion deals with the killing of the inquisitor as the sole responsibility of the MC. It is not. Maria and Emily decided that, rather spending the night in her room, Emily would leave so Maria and the MC could have private time, alone in the house. Had they made a different decision the inquisitor would still be alive. They are equally if not more responsible for the killing of the inquisitor, and both should accept that and share the MC's burden.

No. It states that they knew the risk and unwisely took it.

Stay in the house and leave the island as soon as possible is the least risky strategy. Any other choice dramatically increases the risk of releasing the plague on the island. Emily didn't stay at the inn because that was deemed by Maria and Emily as too risky. They decided that she could stay at her old home because no one was there, but ignored the risk should that assumption prove wrong. Which of course it did.

Thanks. I got it resolved, actually. The problem was not on your file it was in the compression by asenaris. The other compression works fine. But thanks for answering to me even in your vacation. Enjoy your vacation.

Update: I also installed it in another folder on the same drive. It appears for some reason that the problem is that there was an "é" in the name of one of my folders (I tested it to make sure. The game in the folder called "Priv" works fine, but the one in "Privé" doesn't launch and gives the error I mentioned). Weird that this was a problem here as I haven't run into anything like this with other Renpy games
IDK, I didn't set any options (not are there any AFAIK) to remove support for characters... I'm on vacation, but I can check and see if there's something in the options when I'm back. Glad you got everything working!
I really do think this has to do with characters in file names somehow being limited to the ANSI set or something, rather than UTF-8. For example, I also previously had my main folder for the game called "Price of Power — Ch11" and I got a similar kind of error and the game wouldn't start. When I replaced the em dash (ASCII code 151) with a hyphen (ASCII code 45) in that name, the game runs fine. So I can play it now, but whenever you're back to working on this again, just an FYI.

Just wanted to say I'm really enjoying this, the focus on story telling is really enjoyable, I know it wont be for everyone, but I'm legit attached to the characters and world. I do wish it was a little more game, in the Game to VN balance, but I 100% understand why that is.

I look forward to the day I can play through the entirety of the story you have prepared

Does anyone have a link to Zoe's WT Mod?
It was abandoned like 2 updates ago now I think. The wrong version leaking early and the Steam achievements kept breaking things, made it too much of a pain to keep the mod going.
It doesn't matter though, you literally don't need a mod for this game. Choices are all either obvious or flavour choices.
