Who's excited for Chapter 4? 👀

alt text under cut:

This is such a fun question LOL Thank you, anon! Officially, Calder has the strongest accent. There's no exact voices we were imagining when writing the ROs, but for the fun of it, we've compiled some one-line voice clips for each RO! Super curious if this is also how you guys imagine them?

VALENS ✦ their voice is haunting, monotone and cold, with a slight rasp.

CALDER ✦ his voice is noble and resonant, with a faint northern accent.

SIBYL ✦ their voice is airy and androgynous, with an ethereal quality to it.

ERIS ✦ they have a deep, clear voice with a velvety cadence that draws you in.

Can't decide? WHY NOT BOTH‼️ If we recall correctly, when we last did a fav RO poll, ERIS ended up in 1st place and VALENS was winning at first but ended up 2nd. That was before the demo release though, so it would be fun to see if opinions differ now— what do you guys think, should we do another poll?

And to answer your question: YES the story will definitely acknowledge it if you flirt with multiple ROs! If another RO notices/overhears/sees you flirting with someone else, they will react, but how depends your relationship meter with them, and who they are. VALENS, for example, already holds a very obvious dislike for ERIS, so an MC who flirts or gets deeply involved with Eris can expect some bitter and angsty acknowledgement. Meanwhile, an RO like SIBYL— who's fond of the MC from the start— would react very differently (can't spoil the exact details!) Flirting around isn't a "game over" for anyone's route, but there will be reactions. In fact, the code currently tracks A LOT more of your choices than you might expect, especially as of the newest update. Those of you who reached the final scene at the end of Chapter 1 probably know exactly what we mean... 👀

Ooh fun question, anon! 📚

VALENS would roll their eyes. At first, they would make little snide remarks like, “You do realize they do not exist, yes?” but once they see you truly have a crush on that character, they would never let it go. The next time you landed yourself in trouble, Valens would appear at your side with a wry smirk, drawling “And where is your beloved now?", waiting for you to plead with them before stepping in to help out.

For CALDER, it would depend less on who the fictional character was and more on what exactly MC sees in them. He would ask a few mild questions here and there, smiling as though he were merely indulging your enthusiasm. A valiant hero would earn approving nods; a charming villain or tormented antihero would interest him far more. “And what, precisely, do you find forgivable in them?” he would ask, with an intensity that feels strangely personal.

SIBYL would secretly acquire the book and read the entire thing in one night, partly out of curiosity and partly because they desperately want to understand what makes this fictional person so special to you. They would begin unconsciously borrowing little habits from the character— how they speak, how they dress, perhaps even recreate a scene for you, all in hopes of getting you to like them more.

ERIS would regard it as an act of insolence. They would have the book silently disposed of and replaced with several lavishly bound volumes chronicling the royal bloodline, every chapter concerning Eris conspicuously marked. One volume would even bear a hauntingly beautiful portrait of them on its cover. If confronted, they would scarcely glance up. “I merely ensured you have better things to occupy your imagination.”
