Athena is what I would call a sympathetic villain. I do feel bad for her and would very much like a redemption path for her where the MC can recruit her to his side. Up to this point, all the decisions feel so black or white with little grey area in between. It is either stand up to Athena or let her do whatever she wants to do. So far there hasn't been a third option where you can reason with her. Maybe I am wrong but if that path exists, I haven't found it. I just can't imagine Athena ever respecting the MC as an equal worthy of listening to if he just lets her do whatever she wants. In fact, standing up to her in that last fight may make her realize that the MC is worthy of her respect, I'm not sure.

Locked behind not fighting her in the faceless town.
As for respecting MC after the fight, I think it's more that she fears him after the fight. Given that most of her malice is the product of fear and feelings of inadequacy I'm not sure that fighting her helps the case of redeeming her. The variables also indicate this. Fighting her adds 3 to the against_athena variable, leave reduces it by 2 and negotiate, saving both Mercury and Lumi, reduces it by 1. So leave or negotiate reduces how much the MC is against her, presumably improving their relationship and fighting increases how much the MC is against her, presumably worsening it.

I stand corrected. I just hadn't found the path for negotiation.

I hadn't seen that option, if in the end they release more chapters maybe I'll watch it again and try that route

Quick update!​

Hello everyone!
Unfortunately, due to some unforeseen circumstances, Ischwit will no longer be able to work on SI. Thankfully, we have found someone to come and do the renders and animations already, so please welcome Itsnt to the team! This does mean that we will have to delay the release slightly, which I wish we didn't, but that's just the way the apple falls. Thank you for the support as always, and we'll see you again soon for more information regarding chapter 3!
Please see some example renders that Itsnt has made to show you the quality that he will be bringing to the table:

I really am glad that this game will see the light again it's one of the top 10 games I ever played , I wish for the other good abandoned games to have someone to convince the developers to take over their works for example ( Path to dominion and Genesis ) , anyway all the best for you and looking forward to the comeback.

Is it me or do the facial expressions also just... look off, look dead inside? Idk, its been a while since I played the game, but one of the aspects that I loved about the game was how expressive and personable the characters were.
