I haven't posted on this blog as much as I really should, but this is worth celebration to me.

Gnosia finally got its first figure announcement - a figure of Setsu from Sega's Premium Chokonose Figure line. These are prize figures of characters sitting that're typically designed to be displayed on the edge of a shelf or surface, but since Setsu's say in a way that doesn't have their legs hanging over the edge of something, they should be able to displayed in most places.

A document talking about what we know about the hidden "Love variable", including the exact amounts you can gain through events. Hopefully I didn't forget anything, but if I did, sorry, I'll fix it when I realize.

Since this is probably not common knowledge, let me just explain what "Love" is.

It's a hidden variable in the game, similar to Amicability and Trust, but not unique to each loop. It's basically the general middling opinion from character a about character b, which affects how likely they are to like them in each loop in some way.

Choices, events, skill usage, night visits (I think) and votes all affect Love, though so far I'm just documenting the "choices and events" part of it.

Here's some fun facts:

Some characters will gain Love with not just the Player, but also eachother, during certain events, both mandatory and optional ones. This is rare though.

Kukrushka cannot gain or lose ANY Love with the Player through events or choices. She can, however, gain a tiny bit of Love towards Gina if you get the Lovely Kukrushka ending.

Yuriko only has 1 choice where she can gain or lose Love with you.

Otome is the only character other than Kukrushka that cannot lose Love with you through events or choices.

The character you can gain the most Love with through events and choices is, unsurprisingly, Setsu. Comet is second place though, due to how much she gains if you confess. SQ is third place.

but you were never broken, viktor. 💔 🩹
