question about the game and the menu at the chapter 13 bit it says that certain characters routs are unavailbale specificaly rylan and A does anyone have any idea what choice effects this or what you have to do for my second play through
Also amazing game the world building is amazing and really gives depth to the characters and their environment.
At first i was just looking at games written in twine to get some inspiration. No idea what made me click this one, but holy shit am i glad i did.
Your writing is top notch. The game is so smooth and real and elegant and i am in love with all the characters and the system and i am looking forward to know whats next.
Thank you for publishing it.
im sorry - this is the most enrapturing storyline ever. im not kidding,, your writing is like - SO GOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!! if you ever published a book series this would be on the same level as like maze runner or the hunger games type shi like omg omg
also blane has my heart im a sucker for rivals to lovers
im really happy in the direction this is going
i started this about 4-ish days ago and around the time i started chapter 10 i had begun thinking about my mcs job. it reminded me of the deportation and ICE problem happening in LA, and if i tried justifying my mc by saying "its just their job" it made me think of nazi germany,, so i figured if i were them i wouldnt have that job, esp now
and then i get to chapter 11 and 12 and it lowkey addressed exactly what i was thinking and i was so happy about that. i feel like this could be a rlly good critique on those with privilage, depending on how u go about it
ASIDE FROM THAT I JUST LOVELOVELOVEEE ALL THE CHARACTERS and how our mc really feels like us. i also like how the focus is on the story but the CHOICE of romance is there, it feels like we rlly know our priorities. i wish there was a more neutral option about dating since im aromantic, but even then the dating options could still be seen as friendly and its not forced on us very often.
OVERALL I LIKE HOW ITS GOING SO FAR, I ALSO FOUND OUT AFTER REACHING THE END OF CHAPTER12 THAT THE GAME KEEPS TRACK OF US (like how stoic i am or weather im good at traps) AND I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS SOOO COOL. I CANT WAIT FOR MORE !!!
Just a random reader but I'm not sure if there is an option like? If you are talking about ch11 there's Blane (if you took the knife for them) or K and Rylan and it's not really based on who you are romancing i guess, but you still have some time with A and N later on in the training, and in ch12 you can choose anyone to either walk by you or sit next to you, I may be wrong tho
I am honored to have read these words! All the waiting for the twelfth chapter was worth it. Thank you and your work!
I don't want to give away any plot details, but the twelfth chapter left a very deep impression on me. I think this must be because the detailed description of the environment, the beautiful scenery and the tense atmosphere created a contrast that I couldn't look away from.
As time went by, the companions became more and more familiar with each other. Whenever I read those interactions, I couldn't help smiling on my face! I'm very glad that this team, which was brought together for various reasons, has gradually become like a team of true friends.
Once again, thank you and your work! I will continue to look forward to the subsequent chapters.

i found this yesterday on an AI (janitor to be specific) site (someone had a google doc of games/VNs etc they liked and this was on it) and I honestly HAVE NO REGRETS.
I got up to chapter 12 on my phone (in one night), haven't finished it. commenting on my laptop!! Evertides, thank you for this masterpiece >=3
(rylan is my bbg)
usually my phone battery drains and lasts from 8PM to around 9-10 rarely 11PM, but when I was playing this, it lasted until around 2-3AM (I'm going to blame you for my lack of sleep /j)
im not the creator, but ive found a doc filled w vns/ifs!

Do N and A's have branches too in chapter 11 or is there just meant to be the IAOS vs Vampire Clan paths?
Im new to this IF so im really glad there's already 12 chapters worth pf quality content out for me to read. I basically spent the last two days just going through all the posible choices and dialogue options. Every feels nicely paced. As far as all the interactions and personality types go its also quite realistic and very enjoyable to read. I can kinda already see where all the routes + main plot is heading and its making me very excited for future chapters.
Used the weekend to re-read from chapter 1 (10/10 - would recommend) since I needed the refresh, and - wow: Was it great to rediscover this story again. Loved chapter 12. I have a particular penchant for great dialogue-focused scenes, so an entire update, literally, focused on the dynamics of people sitting around talking (or not!) to each other, and the hidden/blatant of their motives -- Delish~ Adore your convo volleys; your use of repetition; how MC feels like their own layered and deeply interesting character. They're really falling apart, huh? 😂 Looking forward to seeing those limits....
Being in the elite and exclusive faction that is K lovers (Kaia for me), I was pleasantly surprised how much interaction we got with them in a place you'd think wouldn't afford a lot of intimate moments! Kudos for -- Realistically (cuz we know Fae Queen be side-eying) -- weaving those in. When K used my hunter's first name, no lie, I had an Entire visceral reaction. I was like: '....whoaaa....'; kinda expected MC to scream 'HOLY SH*T!!' haha Fav bit - beyond that - had to be talk about K sitting next to MC. The - 'why? why? YES - WHY' -- Screaaaming~ Such a good meal~
Very much worth the wait and I'm grateful you're so committed to keeping up with this. Here's hoping you enjoy every fruit of your labors! ❤️
I humbly request a ‘Grumpy Warlock’ badge for my commitment to the cause. (I’d also take Kaia in a ‘Foxy Grandma’ hat if you’re feeling generous. 😆)
My hot take: I think K is just a far more Mature romance than many are used to/want to deal with. It’s not the ‘high school, twitterpated, doki doki in spring’ kind of route — you have toWerk. And there’s really no guarantee (beyond you making K a LI, so there must be some chance lol) that your efforts will pay off. K straight up tells you to cut that nonsense out. (There’s also ‘immortal’ bit, but I like that sort of thing.) But I’m truly rapt by my MC and K’s dynamic; how they’re so freakinREAL. I can’t wait to see all those walls crumble; bit by bit. Incremental K affection is just that rewarding~ And I feel like they have to earn my MC too. Scene I mentioned also did a great job showing K has to contribute or might lose out as well. (dum dum Duuuum)
I don't think that's a hot take at all! You're definitely right in that it's more "mature", so to say. I think a lot of people are thrown off by the lack of 'happily ever after' because yes, eventually K will move on when the Hunter is dead and they're still alive. And I totally understand that hesitation. Also yes, you have to work for it way more than some of the other ROs, with Blane being the other option who's similar. But kudos to you! I'm glad that you like them so much :)
Just finished it!(As of Chapter 12)
And I must say, this has a really interesting premise!! I love the characters(even if I only picked Rylan as my main romance option for now), they're all so unique, and the story itself is so good and always keeps me at the edge of my seat xD
I'm really intrigued to see how this goes, but for now, I'm really hoping to see more!!
I'm a little obsessed tbh, I love all the characters and how personlike they feel. Blane and Kian are my current interests but I see myself pursuing any of them.
I like how Blane doesn't stop being himself, his snark doesn't die down but he starts showing more consideration, the way you can tie back his current words to how he used to act, and how not everything is because he hates you guys but more on top of how he feels about the entire situation.
It's a level of depth I heavily enjoy.
I have theories of who our mysterious person is, and I'm so sad I cannot have a confirmation. I actually let out a noise when I got to the end of C11, and was so happy when I got to play C12.
Looking forward to where the story goes.
i've been able to get romance scenes with rylan without interacting much with K. i think for some things it is necessary, like when choosing if you get a text (i think i dont actually really remember) from either blane or rylan and K. but for the most part, if you just choose rylan for basically everything, you're bound to go along their romance route ദ്ദി˙ ᴗ ˙ ) (and i do suggesting choosing rylan for everything because the exchanges between them and the MC in chapter 12 is genuinely so gut-wrenching in a good way)
Just finished! Oh my gosh, my MC NEEDS K!!! He is literally perfect for her. Like, she will not take care of herself, and he is being soooo perfectly insistent that she does already, and I know things are barely starting with them! I loved how I could feel his internal war, yet also not being able to not care. And I loved everything else about the chapter as well. The Fae Realm was so fun to imagine and experience. Thank you for the update <3 (Literally made my night, was having some bad days and this really cheered me up)
i started reading this IF months ago but genuinely, nothing had made me feel the way i'm feeling right now. chapter 12 was, holy moly. it feels like there's a pit in my stomach; as if i was living through everything that occurred in this latest chapter. i truly love this IF so much (ó﹏ò。) and god, rylan... i am genuinely going insane over the complexity of the relationship between the MC (or well us kinda since the IF is first-person pov..) and them. the freaking silent exchanges this chapter i'm screaming ( ꩜ ᯅ ꩜;) i absolutely love the pace of the progression with rylan but i NEED something more NEOWWWW (⊙෴◎) sigh, i don't think i'm gonna be able to wait for the next chapter without going insane (◞‸◟;) author you are so amazing i love you and your writing so much pls don't explode
