me, eating a pile of nuts, cheese, and apple: mmmm tasty

the medieval peasant in my head watching me eat: thou knowst what would MAKETH this meal? dried fruits.

me, getting out the raisins: god damn, etheldred, you are SO right

the medieval peasant in my head: yet thou art still not heeding mine words regarding the blasphemy

Thank you from the bottom of my heart 🙏 for supporting me in this difficult time 😭 and now I need you more than ever, which is your help to complete the rest of the goal with me, knowing that my brother, who suffers from bipolar disorder, his condition has deteriorated and he now needs to travel with some family members for treatment and to restore his health as soon as possible. Please, your help is a lifeline for us. I am grateful to you all❤️

There is an odd scene transition I encountered. When visiting the cursed theater for the second time, if you to the room with the scrying mirror instead of the stage, and then use the mirror and then you go to the other person on the stage, you are immediately transported to the chapel. It says that Ira wants to deal with the demon, although no demon or chapel was mentioned prior. The option was to "go back to Kate" (or whoever was your companion there). Also, I really enjoy stories where you have to discover who the MC is. I hope the next update brings some answered questions (for example, why did Ira leave us alone in the theater just for us to wake up on the floor, wtf? weren't there other people, they all walked over the mc?) Also, I have the feeling I chose all the wrong options, I will for sure replay it again with a more careful and friendly mc. And it's damn hard to not flirt with all the ROs, they are ALL so interesting!

aw man I thought I fixed that already. I'll take another look

there are no wrong options, they all have consequences 😈

I'm sure you've watched me like 10 Kat related posts in a row. It's 7:00 in the morning and I am overcome with the urge to draw her. I'd love to do something polished at some point! Does she have a proper color palette?

uuaahHHHHHH Kattttttt <3

here u go

val energy 🥹 I love that overthinking Val wit the anxiety on the side and a bowl of panic with everything else

Val: hey klaus can you put out a hit on my life or something I need a distraction and if I experience a single thought I will spiral

that floor person ask is so sunny to me because to me io is a ceiling person. io immediately seeks out the highest spot in the room and gets there. no one knows exactly how io got on the top shelf without a stool or without the shelf falling down, but io's there.

(god metaphor or whatever.)

I think what we have here is a classic Dog Io vs Cat Io

[sentience-if]

Headcanon I think you’d enjoy: Io is a floor person. Val may have taught them how to sit in public, but when alone, Io will always sit on the ground. Val got so used to having to check for Io reading dime stories in front of the couch so they wouldn’t trip, that their eyes still immediately dart there whenever they go into that room. Io will also rest their chin on a friend’s leg & beg for pets with their eyes, like a dog.

as a fellow floor person,,

why would you do this to me

[sentience-if]

will you rank the major characters by the effectiveness of reverse psychology on them

why yes i will. most to least effective:

Val (extremely petty)

Kat

Connie

Ira

Klaus (invented reverse psychology)

I feel like big freak would be a pushover

I keep going back and forth but I think Big Freak is very stubborn but also susceptible to manipulation

too long since last ro ask. There are two types of people. Which RO belongs to which category?

"It's rotten work." "Not to me. Not if it's you."

"It's rotten work. Especially to me. Especially if it's you."

oh god i forgot to answer this

"Not to me, not if it's you.": Val, Connie

"Especially to me, especially if it's you.": Kat

it really, really depends on the person: Klaus, Ira

[sentience-if]

Love love love characters that present themselves as emotionally open social butterflies but the more you see of them the more obvious it is that they’re the most closed off fuckers in the story. Sure, they want to help you with your personal problems and messy emotions, but if you turn that shit back on them, they’ll shut down or deflect every time. Why are you sticking your nose in their business anyway? It’s not like it matters. They’re not a person, they’re just a role being played. They’re the guy who fixes things and saves people. Please ignore the man behind the mask, he’s fine. Everything’s fine.

okay okay okay so i finally found power and time to read chapter five and the interlude

and i need to once again say that i really like your way of writing and telling reader things, and how you make scenes is just. Fjkdldlclfkfnf. Literally going insane over words in the best way.

I have n o t seen the interlude coming – but oh. Oh, this is very tasty. Cannot wait to see the clusterfuck that will be io and val if/when io remembers. My io is very 'they have a reason to abandon me in the first place, and this qualifies as another, how i can compensate for it', so uh. Yeah.

(idk if this qualifies as spoilers, but – is the "leave" option after getting Effie to the theatre always greyed out? and also i vividly remember getting Guinefort drop his name in-game one time, but i don't remember what i did?? have i like, dreamt it up?)

Also f u c k maybe doing different playthroughs to catch as much info as possible was a mistake cause now i have so many things to ponder over but also i can't regret doing it either. It was very delicious and very very confusing but worth it. I have so many questions.

Anyways – thank you so much for the the chapter and the game in general! hope that everything good is happening to you, idk, bye

🥰🥰 thaaaaaanks. i try

yeah, it's always grayed out- if you enter the Theatre a second time you can't leave. And Guine's name doesn't appear until Ch 6, so either you hallucinated or u know something I don't. both are very possible

[sentience-if]

you know that game with the stickman and the pencils and purple goo? i imagine io as that main character.

I do not know it lol

[sentience-if]

I imagine Io as just one big scribble

believeable

[sentience-if]

Having horrifying visions of io actually having been someone that was sealed up with big freak 🙃 tight spaces freak me out

fear not! there's lotsa room down there

[sentience-if]

I feel, if you were drawing Io, a completely white outline would be completely in-character. Like the white light of angels, but also brain empty no thoughts.

(like that one meme of that guy shining like a lightsaber, yk?)
