Chapter 5

It's a Christmas miracle!! At long last, Chapter Five is here with +60k new words of all-new content, including:

✅ Attend a theatre ritual ✅ Disappoint Ira ✅ Disappoint yourself ✅ Make a new friend (?) ✅ Vomit on Klaus ✅ Meet some dogs ❤

You should not need to start a new game.

I only did a very brief skim of a playtest, so please lmk if you find any typos, incorrect pronouns, wrong links, etc. As usual, I probably won't reply to bug reports but I appreciate them all :)

PSA with a mild spoiler ↓↓↓ If you refuse to reenter the Theatre, there are a series of increasingly difficult stat checks. If you fail them, you will be forced into returning to the Theatre. It's not a bug, its a feature

and PSA 2: idk what the fuck happens in a theatre ritual. haven't been able to figure it out in the last six years and i sure as hell can't now.

I'm a little behind in my shipments because I've been getting so little sleep + waiting for my shipping material restock to come in (but they came today) I'll be shipping every current order tomorrow when I've had some sleep, thank you for the patience if you've been waiting this week!

I am really confused about this game. Is it like "Doki doki literature club" ? the game seems to break the fourth wall after getting bad endings and someone speaks in red text. Is it Ren and is he stuck in the game like Monica?Or is he and Redacted separate people, with him being a game character,but Redacted being some sort of entity who's stuck in the void of the game,or in it's code,and acknowledges that it's a game and someone's playing it and they speak to the player, not the game's protag?

✦゜ANSWERED: 14 Days With You is like 14 Days With You. It's not meant to be similar to DDLC in any way, and Ren isn't supposed to be like Monika or any other self-aware character.

Please don't associate 14DWY with other games just because they share similar tropes. /lh

But!! To answer your question: Ren isn't aware that Angel and the player are separate people. As of right now, he considers Angel and you as the same entity, and speaks to you as though you're part of his universe.

Ren is aware that his entire existence only comes into fruition whenever you play the game — but to him, that's considered normal — the same way getting wifi from trees and not discovering 80% of the ocean is considered normal for us. Nothing is out of place for him, and the way he interacts with his environment doesn't seem weird or out of place for him.

The Dead Ends are the only time Ren breaks the fourth wall, but it's still a massive WIP and there's not enough content for it to make much sense yet. But once more Days get released, this will be further explained!!

based on the recent chapter of This Is Not The End by @kings-highway (again, yeah <3)

i only like characters who show up for one split second im sorry

memories that linger | love and deepspace

there's always been something pushing against you. and not in the metaphorical, woe is you sort of way, but in the way that... well, you can't quite put your finger on it. there's nothing metaphorical about it, you think, but anyone else would swear it's just your luck. you believe that, too, when you aren't so displeased with the way things are going. there is something that tries to force your hand, change the choices you want to make.

you realize that sounds crazy. that's why you keep it to yourself.

you've stopped resisting the push so much these days. you feel it like a hand upon your back, urging you forward and into the hunter association's ranks despite your dream of publishing your manga. it feels simultaneously wonderfully right and terribly wrong, though the development of certain events quickly steals your attention away from that invisible hand. you want answers. you need them, and you'll march in whichever direction that leads you to them.

additional details

in this verse, i'm writing chiyo as the mc and toying with the concept of past lives like the game does, though i may also sprinkle in a little itty bitty bit of fourth wall stuff -- like chiyo having the thought, " this is like a game, and someone else is making my choices. " as a treat <3

but the focus will be more on fate bc chiyo really hates it as a concept, and that's so much fun to write in this setting :' )

when interacting with other mc's, we can decide if we'd like our characters to just so happen to be in the same boat, having grown up with grandma and caleb, etc. if not, i have no problem writing chiyo in her main verse! there's plenty to work with either way and i'm happy to adapt!

bc chiyo's parents and grandmother play such important roles in her development, they're alive and well until wanderers kill them during chiyo's freshman year of high school. this event leads to josephine taking her in. she was a friend of the family and as good as a second grandmother to chiyo.

i'll likely think to add more when i'm not sleep-deprived and as i progress in the story, but if you have any questions, just let me know <3

even dunk tried to cheek kiss first 😅 thinks fans heads would explode if gmmtv introduced the concept of primary secondary and play partners

yeah i mean who wouldn't want to kiss first on the cheek lbr

and yeah, i agree. it's not that i mind the same constellation of actors doing multiple series together. but if only THEY do series together?? that's kinda annoying in the long run. bc like, they're actors and as actors i wanna see them do actor things and part of that is watching how their acting is influenced by all the different colleagues they work with (whether these colleagues are male or female or any other gender)

and i really don't understand why we can't have the best of both worlds, like. it would be SO easy: have them do a series with their main cp partner every other year and then in the years in between they get to branch out and kiss other men

sometimes i cry myself to sleep at night thinking about all of the potential dynamics we're missing out on because of this. dynamics that could be so delicious to watch

but alas....

(certain fans would NOT survive my proposed universe sigh)

[mukuberry]

how do you go from "investigated to the end and confirmed every detail" to nearly beating multiple people to death because someone said they were bad once

[definitelynotshouting]

Blinks blearily awake. Grian art but his eyes are camera lenses. Is this anything

[irl-l-l-o-y-d]

hqve you ever seen a serpentine

Serpentine..? No, I haven't personally. I've seen pictures from mama and text books, but never actually seen one

[rollercoasterwords]

Let's just say a friend told us their name. We won't prod anymore than we already have about it since it's getting uncomfortable for you, mate (◕‿◕✿). Anywho, not sure if this has been asked before, but do you have a favourite clothing item to wear?

um, just call me pin friend

I really prefer dresses and overalls, dresses are always cute yet a pain to get in my size and overalls are good for more outdoorsy activities you can't go wrong with either

Also maybe keep my boss out of conversation, I'd rather not talk about work when I'm just trying to enjoy treats and clothes 🤎💛❤
