Well... fuck.

I thought I couldn't like Alice more but oh please do keep proving me wrong.
It's kind of a shame that there was such a big focus on her and her kinda stealing the entire spotlight with her gravitational pull but I can understand why, it turned into a very powerful moment and honestly.. kinda leaves me in disbelief that we're approaching the end??'
I felt like this arc just... kept going and going and I'm very much looking forward to hopefully seeing some old familiar faces again, like I can barely even fucking remember all the faces.
It kinda made me realize just how much the game has changed to get to this point. Like, it started off kinda small.. making choices on the order you handled things, I got the feeling of having limited time during the early parts which made it feel like my choices mattered even more, creating relationships that haven't been seen in so damn long and now it's spiraled into this complete monstrous mess.
I think I hope we get to kinda go back to basics just a little bit, meet the old friends and classmates, check up on things y'know? Small reprieves between going into the deep end trying to save the earth.

I fucking love this game and I will patiently wait for it.

Who, I didn't see it. If it's the Satyr he turns into a women or you do, when you have sex with him.
nah I'm pretty sure it's the one running the brothel? they have a potential scene and I think that's the one that has that difference
I cannot remember where the scene is but I think it was during the like "dream city thing" where you're searching for your/mom's memories??

Speaking of Alice, I have to gush about a minor thing, which is the level of variation they give you on deciding how to convince her to save Danu.

I'm glad WW is doubling down on Alice loving to kill people and not doing the more obvious and cliche thing of MC softening her and revealing what an innocent princess she really is. So I really like that if you try to appeal to her by saying that you think Danu was a good person and can be redeemed, she doesn't care and smashes her fucking head in.

BUT.

I also fucking love that if you speak her language and point out how useful Danu is, that later she asks you why you really asked her to spare her and you can admit that it was because you just thought it was wrong and said what she needed to hear.

There's maybe a handful of games on this site that offer such granular level of roleplaying (and rly im just saying that to cover my ass, i cant think of any) that connects me to these characters and the MC so so much more than usual, even if it doesn't change things in the long run, and I wish more games, even AAA games, adopted this approach.

Yeah the game has made it very clear that turning into a monster is not a good thing.
I'm not sure about that anymore. Ever since the banshee incident there was a certain doubt about that and even since Valravn we've had reason to be skeptical. Monsters are just under much more influence from their basic desires and instincts most of the time. Add to that the fact that the most compatible hosts for infection seem to have a strange kind of ambition to them and you have a weird kind of situation where monsterfication may be liable to bring out and amplify the monster that was already there more than anything.

Maybe, if you don't cling to it, your humanity, a mixture of basic empathy and rationality, is just one of the things the process consumes because it's too weak. And maybe the high stress situations that induce evolution and mutation into a monster just lend themselves to losing that grasp.

So, did anyone not help Liz with stealing Deryl's serum last update? I was looking at the scripts, and if you didn't then in this update there's a conversation you can have with her where two of the options imply that the MC remembers the Eye Dead Ends. He describes memories of his that he doesn't know where he got them from, but that sound a lot like the Eye's experiences. Being a powerful monster that gets killed before it can actually do anything, over and over. I guess that since the Eye is implied to remember the Dead Ends, and he's fusing with the Eye, he's getting visions of them. Neat.

Yeah I wasn't sure if we were meant to take that as an actual plot revelation, that MC might actually be canonically remembering his Bad Ends, or if its just more meta-dialogue that MC and Ella often get up to, like the ******* joke.

The scene was p serious in tone, so it didn't seem like a joke, but MC is a deadpan motherfucker so...

I want to say I feel bad for Danu, and I chose to spare her for that reason, but I feel like letting my Mc say that was real reason he asked Alice to spare her would be a massive mistake. What happened to Danu was tragic, but even if Michael is alive, it doesn't justify her trying to murder Alice and anyone who tries to protect her in the first place, when Alice has done nothing to her. Ironically Danu trying to kill Alice for her potential to support Aos's plans, is a lot like the sky people, who sent her human children to their graves, because they wanted to crush her family for their political motives. It's unreasonable and unfair from Alice and the Mc's perspective just like what happened to Danu in the past, which is why I felt like my Mc needed a motive for his actions beyond the sympathy he may have felt for Danu. It's why I chose the real reason he chose to spare her to be because she is useful.

Ehh, another update dedicated entirely to one fight... I don't know, the game has slowed down the pace, the fights are getting longer and longer, cool, too bad it's at the expense of the entire update, never mind, I'll take a break for at least a year from now on, I won't even come here, because there's absolutely no point in playing and reading this story in such installments, there weren't even many sex scenes (I don't care, I don't care about them, but the fact is.)

So, for now, Illuminati, enjoy spamming about what if.

I wonder what this game with a possible sequel will look like in next 1-2 years, maybe then I will appreciate the content more, because right now it's simply impossible to play knowing that the current version will end soon anyway.

...or I will evolve by myself during this time and by then I give you hell.
