Otome ❣ Genshin

im extra disappointed from a game standpoint because i know there was going to be a lot of lore added and explained with his introduction bc of his position that we’re now missing out on, and the potential delays in already long awaited updates that re-workshopping this change will cause.

also just genuinely surprised because at the very least, from a business standpoint, all the sunken cost for him alone feels like it should’ve been the last resort for them to do this and not the first solution, since they’ll never make any money back on him now.

We lost an entire section of the MAIN STORY.

The livestream literally told us Valko's release was going to reveal more about the Aethercore—one of the biggest mysteries in Love and Deepspace and something that's been central to the plot from the very beginning.

So now what?

You think they can just delete him and nothing changes?

Do people genuinely think you can rip out an entire story arc without consequences?

Everything that was supposed to be revealed through Valko now has to be rewritten, redistributed, or outright cut. The main story is going to have to be retconned. Future updates are going to have to be reworked. Characters may have to be rewritten just to fill the gap he leaves.

If you're celebrating this because you "won," I sincerely hope you understand what you've actually cheered for.

Dark Nights - Reflections

Release date (Windows, Mac OS, Linux, Steam) English: October 31st, 2025

"You live in a small, peaceful town. Every day is the same as any other; boring. Right when you wish for something exciting to happen, strange things start to occur, stemming from the nearby forest. If that isn't enough, the locals have begun disappearing. At the same time, you meet six mysterious men. Will you discover the truth before becoming the next target?

This is a remastered version and expansion of Dark Nights. It follows the same setting and focuses on 2 new routes: Roya & Chain. You don't need to play the base game to enjoy this version.

- 3 new storylines - Roya, Chain and a hidden route - New sprites - 36+ CGs - New OST - Extra cut scenes - 20+ new achievements - New locations - Bonus content"
