the beauty & the horror

I’ve been doing Sydney’s romance! And slowly working down his purity, it’s been nice to do a sweet romance- I may switch him to my main RO for now. I like Whitney a lot but I feel like I can never catch him in the park.

I got through the temple initiation and now I’m doing training in the basement. I also won the card game and went to the spooky party with Avery, but he hasn’t invited me to his mansion yet 🤔 and my PC FINALLY had her twins 😩 I had to take a break bc she went though an absolutely brutal ‘lost at sea with pirates and then a deserted island’ gauntlet immediately before going into labour and I felt so bad for her.

But yesss the idea that the town has a reason for being the way it is is so interesting, I keep devouring that lore whenever it's dropped.

Chastity belts can be really helpful, especially when you're trying to become an angel haha.

Save-scumming is very based as well (though be careful of doing it with Gwylan since if you try to like reload a save to get more dialogue/choose a different option he KNOWS lmao)

Oh that’s good to know! I have started getting some of Avery’s early encounters again. I tried like three times and I couldn’t get anyone besides Bailey and Leighton to win 😭 I ended up going with Bailey and he just drove the PC home.

I might keep going on my current run then, it just takes so long to build up promiscuity. I just can’t wait until she’s not pregnant anymore!!! Should have got the contraceptives 😩

YES I really enjoyed the ivory wraith stuff in general, it’s fun to have a yandere-esque character who seems to have an interest in the PC that’s very threatening, when compared to kylar they’re much more my speed. Spooky and powerful and supernatural possession yes yes yes. Also the ear slime 🫪 I think it’s very cool that there’s an implied reason why the town is like that.

I've tried to play it before but never got into it, but this time it has a HOLD of me. The gameplay loop is so satisfying

Whitney being insanely cruel makes for some of my favourite scenes that I've experienced, he's definitely my fav LI so far. Eden is also sweet though (or as sweet as you get in dol LOL) but Harper full LI when....

Transformations are fun, and cow especially can be really useful early game to make money if you figure out where to go with that.

Have you experienced a blood moon yet?

Also if you're looking for people to talk to about dol, there is a pretty active reddit forum and even tumblr has a decent amount of people talking about it. I know there's a discord but I have seen multiple cases of drama coming from it like most discord servers so yeah. I frequently search Gwylan's tag though because I am down Bad. Also there's apparently code in the game that shows there's a future plan for a "soft bad end" like the asylum/farm etc for Gwylan and I am SEATED for it

I totally understand why people like Kylar, I think for me he's just a little TOO pathetic to the point that he doesn't feel threatening? Maybe it's just that he's a sub haha. I usually love a yandere so I was surprised! I like Whitney a lot but he lost some of his appeal when he stopped being so awful lmao. Some of those early encounters with him are just insane.

i have NOT yet experienced a blood moon! Somehow? I started in Autumn and I'm nearing the end of January. I'm definitely considering a restart, one so my PC isn't pregnant anymore (💀) and two because I'd like to start fresh to do some of the Sydney/temple stuff
