By repetitively bothering him in the alley :)!! he will eventually punch you if you don't back off I think?? (Or maybe I'm thinking with Klaus..) Either way you have to bug him repetitively somewhere.. (I'll go and look for you if you want? I don't mind doing another play through lmao)
OKAYYY I WAS RIGHT. When you wake up to get fresh air you should go get a drink, then go outside for the fresh air (the 'I need to get out of here' option at the bar). You'll meet Connie in the alley :) repetitively bother him (don't choose to back off) and you will be punched! You will get the 'you can hit me again' thing if you do that :)
Hello, st.sleepy! I'm really impressed with how much you've put into this. I hope you don't mind my asking, but would you like to look at a sci-fi pilot of mine? I've got a summary here, plus some links to a deck and some comparable films below:
REDNER is a dark, mythic, and character-driven sci-fi epic with a unique and uncompromising voice. It confidently leans into psychological decay, body horror, and moral ambiguity, while building an original world that's both dystopian and mythologically rich.
The protagonist—Redner Grunwald—is fascinating: a character warped by violence, grief, and a yearning for control, whose arc descends deeply into mechanical monstrosity before shading toward redemption.
This script reads like a combination of cyberpunk noir and Shakespearean tragedy, with stylistic echoes of Dune, The Batman, and Akira.
Producer Roslyn Fleischer is currently involved (former CAA, Paramount, Castle Rock), and I've worked professionally as a writer for the past eight years across plays, graphic novels, and screen projects. Three episodes of REDNER are complete, along with a companion spin-off and a standalone horror pilot.
Several actors are also on board, including:
Cody Cowell (Dark Mean City)
Hayley Holmes (K.R.A.P.),
Sian Reeves (The Following Events Are Based on a Pack of Lies),
Maci O'Brien (Accidental Spy),
and Michael Middleton (Wrong for Right).
If this sounds like something you’d be interested in reading, I’d be glad to send over the script.
chat how do I unlock the one line when ur talking to Connie in the theater thingy, when u mention the god beneath after the recently killed demon was mentioned, the one that says 'ive been in those tunnels'
tysm!! also, if it isn't too much to ask, how come that if you don't continue the Convo with ira you get to see the demon living but if you finish it you only get its remains?
PLEASE WRITE MORE OF THIS I love it so much PLEASEEEEE I've been playing it nonstop since yesterday:((( (Val is literally my favorite little guy I need to draw him)
reminded me of bloodborne instant peak in my opinion. with a dash of alchemy and xerxes from fullmetal alchemist, too!!! super good cant wait for more and i WILL wait
UVYSUGWUWH i was going insane because i remember playing this like last year i think and forgot its name for months until i remembered it. . .AAA THE UPDATE I LOVE IT AUGYAUVVWVUW (╯⑅>ᴗ<⑅)╯♡
Also val needs to kiss me on my hot mouth frfr (˵ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°˵)
Absolutely loved the update! Found some errors, when you choose the second option here,
you just get a blank screen, no text, no indication if that is the end of things
second error is this,
the problem here is that I had not previously spoken with any acolyte and was not told I was free to roam, was forced back into the cell and just left there (although the door was not locked)
omg i feel so lucky to have discovered this a day after an update??? it's easily one of the best if's i've ever read, brilliant prose, the story is as gripping as it is hard to follow – in the best way – (unreliable narrators everywhere!!!) and i love it so much! also the characters and dialogue especially are so well written it's hard to pick a favourite (see: val💞💞 Val 💞💓💞💕 Val!!!!💖💗💝💓💘💞💕💓💘)
I've come to pledge my undying love for this game🤩. I totally didn't binge play it or anything.. And I'm definitely not wanting to marry Val. Totally not gonna get on one knee for them💍.. Also the twist at the end? LIKE HELLO??? CRAZY. ACTUALLY CRAZY. SBKDNSKDNSKDSJDNK💍💍💍
anyways thanks for the food..I'm going to just stare at my screen and wait until the next part comes out..
I’m so freakin sad that this was only a demo brooo 😭 my Shayla Klaus and my shalala Connie! Their so stinking cute and mean ugh that clif hanger got me clawing at my walls
Binary represents data, and you can translate sets of ones and zeros into letters. For example "01001000" is the letter H so the word hey would be written as "01001000 01100101 01111001" with spaces separating letters. You could manually translate it but I'd recommend just using an online translator.
HOLY CLIFFHANGER!!! I am so sad that I found this as soon as I did because this just means that I have to wait for more, haha. Seriously, this is so good! I love being a little strange creature that is actually super important. I'll be patiently waiting for more!
Also, I named my character Saint as a joke, but...
this is SO interesting. i'm a massive fan of theology-based worldbuilding and the protagonist is so unique and fun to characterize!! huge huge fan of being able to make them less human lol
additionally, i love the way the relationships can be approached! the characters all really feel so vibrant and new
genuinley, this is one of the best pieces of fiction ive literally ever read. what the fuck. so many parts of this hit so hard and the fucking prose. jesus. wow. im absolutely vibrating in place because i neeeed more. like take your time and breaks and such but also. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was great to read! I can't wait to see more of this beautiful worldbuilding, as well as the characters you've managed to make so interesting. This is definitely going to be an IF I'll be thinking about for a while :)

How do I get the "You can hit me again if you want" option when you go and visit Constantine?
By repetitively bothering him in the alley :)!! he will eventually punch you if you don't back off I think?? (Or maybe I'm thinking with Klaus..) Either way you have to bug him repetitively somewhere.. (I'll go and look for you if you want? I don't mind doing another play through lmao)

chat how do I unlock the one line when ur talking to Connie in the theater thingy, when u mention the god beneath after the recently killed demon was mentioned, the one that says 'ive been in those tunnels'
You can only have that scene once (except with Ira), so don't mention it to Klaus and you'll be able to get the scene with Connie
tysm!! also, if it isn't too much to ask, how come that if you don't continue the Convo with ira you get to see the demon living but if you finish it you only get its remains?
its a bug that keeps coming back no matter how hard i try 😔
oh 😭
I thought it was like intentional bcz the wax was still warm meaning like the demon had recently recently been killed.. its still rlly cool!
thx for entertaining my questions lol :D
PLEASE WRITE MORE OF THIS I love it so much PLEASEEEEE I've been playing it nonstop since yesterday:((( (Val is literally my favorite little guy I need to draw him)

I’ll show you once I’m done I promise❤️ I took a little creative liberty with his outfit though..

I just wanted to leave a comment here to proclaim my undying love for this IF 🙂

OMG THE INTERLUDE IM EXPLODING ( ´ཀ` )( ´ཀ` )( ´ཀ` ) Val's so sweet I'd kill for him frfr
WHATTTT THIS IS A ANOTHER MASTERPIECE WTF IM LOVING THIS SO FAR OMGGGGG

THAT INTERLUDE. HAS GOT ME GOIN. FCKN NUTS!!!! How am I meant to pick anyone else but Val, how.
THAT ENDING UGGHHH I GOT SHIVERS... val just give me ONE chance 🙏🏻
Update was absolute brilliance
Oh yeah, I just wanted to comment as a "I knew it" if it turns out to be true, but (spoilers) IO is In Out Device (input/output) isn't it lol
;)
That first string of binary saying "io r u there" !!!! You clever clever bastard-
The binary codes actually translate to something? Wtffff how do we translate
Binary represents data, and you can translate sets of ones and zeros into letters. For example "01001000" is the letter H so the word hey would be written as "01001000 01100101 01111001" with spaces separating letters. You could manually translate it but I'd recommend just using an online translator.
omggg used a translator, actual chills
Just read this IF in one sitting and I have a feeling I'm gonna dream about this (it's 3 am rn)
I absolutely loved every second of this and I can't wait for chapter 6 to leave me with even more questions!!!
HOLY CLIFFHANGER!!! I am so sad that I found this as soon as I did because this just means that I have to wait for more, haha. Seriously, this is so good! I love being a little strange creature that is actually super important. I'll be patiently waiting for more!
Also, I named my character Saint as a joke, but...
I need a walkthrough fr😂
The update was amazing as always! I absolutely love this so much and cannot wait for more!
Ending had me absolutely frothing at the mouth and screaming. Excellent as always, can’t wait for chapter 6!
Great read! super excited for the next chapter
this is SO interesting. i'm a massive fan of theology-based worldbuilding and the protagonist is so unique and fun to characterize!! huge huge fan of being able to make them less human lol

I'm so excited for the next update! I love this wip
Same! This is already so good, and I'm already so invested!
Val is so very dear to me; if they were a worm I’d carry them in a comfy little jar in my shirt pocket
