VN Ren'Py Stray Incubus [S2 Ch.3b] [IP Studios]

Btw, you think Flynn was setting up a redemption-arc for Athena while turning Mankini Whatshisface (forgot his name, Irena's dad, Incubus general) into the big bad evil?

Axios definitely seems more generically "evil" and, crucially, isn't a woman in a porn game, so his likelihood of being a redeemable or sympathetic character is certainly much lower than hers. We've seen some elements of Athena's backstory so I definitely believe we could be in for an eventual turn for her. That, or the ability to just straight up fuck the evil out of her, because again this is a porn game about a demon with a magic cock. Hard to say until we're a little further in but I'd say the likelihood of him taking over the role of big bad is pretty significant.

Axios was his name, thanks!
Good point! It is a porngame, so basically any attractive Female is a potential LI.
I definitely would like to fuck the evil out of Athenna!

I'm enjoying everything but the rollback being disabled.

I always, always double click in AVN when passing a dialogue, to save on the "diffuse" time (the fade in / fade out), I can't imagine waiting for them all the time, so I keep on missing dialogues without being able to rollback.

The console thingy is an option, for sure, but it just... should be enabled by default.

Chapter 16 is considered as Chapter 12 from Season 1. Season 2 Chapter 1 is Chapter 13, C2 is Chapter 14, and C3 is Chapter 15.

I'm also impatient and my solution for this is to use the 'history' button on the mini menu when I accidentally skip text. Not as convenient as just rolling back for sure, but at least you won't miss anything.

Ok so, whats everyones take on the whole Athena/Mercury fight? I really don't get what's the right thing to do here, feels bad to have venus kill mercury, but not fighting will probably lead to Lumi's death, the game just doesn't really acknowledge much of it either way so far.

So far we don't know what will be the "right" choice. It's entirely possible that none of the options will be entirely optimal, and that each one will have different drawbacks down the road. Only time will tell.

Cap that Bitch with extreme prejudice!

Well technically Venus does it, but you catch my drift.

Honestly and with all due respect, why are these Athena choices so hard for players? I chose the fight option every step of the way without a second thought. She's a psycho misandrist who kills and torments innocent people out of a twisted sense of divine retribution.

Mercury is on board with her and believes that all the killing of innocent men is the right thing to do. She's willing to kill Lumi and the Mc. So let Venus cry at her funeral.

I don't think most people struggling with the choices are doing so because they find it morally difficult to stand up to her. It seems to mainly stem from mechanical uncertainty: if your goal is to get an optimal playthrough, and there's choices where you don't know exactly which ones will lead to that perfect ending, it's bound to cause a little confusion.

Me personally, I just have different saved for the different outcomes. That way no matter which one proves to be the best choice I have one that will let me take advantage.

There's no way to know what the optimal outcome is. Flynn wrote those scenes and he's gone. Maybe he had a plan for them to affect the ending of the game (maybe not) but he's not there anymore and a new team has taken over. We don't know how those choices will be treated by them at this point.

The only way to make that choice is to decide what feels best to you and for me as the hero of the game, that is making the decision that saves lives.

According to the plot, Centoria was transformed by magic to be exactly like Illya.

Not to resuscitate a month-old post but I find it funny that some people learn a project is dying and they turn out to be such fans that they petition to be able to continue the original author's work, are given the go-ahead by the man himself, spend 9 months making an entire new chapter and yet have to be told by randos on F95 about basic plot points such as Centoria's, only AFTER their new episode comes out. Come on, now.

It's a gaffe on the level of making Zycris bleed red instead of- Oh, right.

This is where the wheat is separated from the chaff, so to speak.

Actual fans against somebody who just wanted to make a quick buck without having to think about his own story. Take everything the fans loved and turn it into incoherent slop. Oh. And while ur at it, ban critics, delete posts that address soulless eyes and act snooty and arrogant, like you´re some kind of big hit as a developer i guess.
Oh, and let´s not forget, we´re still waiting on some "big announcement".

"Soon" could mean anything from a day to a year though, it seems.


I personally hope that the announcement is that Itsnt is going to work on his own project again instead of bastardizing SI any further.
