Chapter 5


It's a Christmas miracle!! At long last, Chapter Five is here with +60k new words of all-new content, including:

✅ Attend a theatre ritual
✅ Disappoint Ira
✅ Disappoint yourself
✅ Make a new friend (?)
✅ Vomit on Klaus
✅ Meet some dogs ❤

I only did a very brief skim of a playtest, so please lmk if you find any typos, incorrect pronouns, wrong links, etc


PSA with a mild spoiler ↓↓↓ 

If you refuse to reenter the Theatre, there are a series of increasingly difficult stat checks. If you fail them, you will be forced into returning to the Theatre. It's not a bug, its a feature

and PSA 2: idk what the fuck happens in a theatre ritual. haven't been able to figure it out in the last six years and i sure as hell can't now.

Stats? lol I've just been answering as how I honestly feel XD Is that why there are greyed out responses? How do I know what stats I have/what is being tested? I'm so lost :')

Hey!! I just made a post on how the stats work. Here's a link. But yeah, grayed out choices are mostly either from stats or because they lead to a passage you've already read.

I already found a problem. After selecting Val's gender, it just really wants them to be non-binary, as I got errors from both male and female. Here's the errors from male Val. 

Error: cannot find a closing tag for macro <<nobr>>

<<nobr>>…

Error: <<set>>: bad evaluation: Invalid or unexpected token

<<set $vTheyll to "She'll>> <<set $vplural to true>> <<set $vs to "s">> <<set $ves to "es">> <<set $vhave to "has">> <<set $vwere to "was">> <<set $vwerent to "wasn't">> <<set $vhavent to "hasn't">> <<set $vdont to "doesn't">> <<set $vare to "is">> Val, //'short for nothing, no last name'// Val, was the first face you remember seeing when you found your way to the surface. $vTheir chipper tune and willingness to roll with even the strangest punches was a perfect combination for your confused and delirious mind, and $vthey managed to contain you indoors until you stopped speaking in tongues. //Better me than the Blessed Guard//, $vthey said, though you didn't know what a blessing or a guard was until at least day three. <</nobr>>
