"Leander isn't affected by MC's curse because he is already fucked up to the max" is my favorite theory btw

regarding mc’s curse. the choice in which you can either hold back from touching leander’s hand for the first time or just outright going for it really makes me think about the exact nature of mc’s curse. we know that they’ve had it since birth, the basics of its effect and how it manifests on their hands, but because of how guarded mc is about it, we don’t really know much else. however, you can see a great difference in how it works from that single choice with leander alone.

holding back makes leander reach for mc’s hand himself, since he doesn’t want them to back out of letting him find an alternative to the senobium. however, doing so makes leander’s expression darkens, and he even goes as far as to nearly grab mc’s neck before snapping out of it and going: what an interesting curse you have! :D. it reminded me of how the praying traveller from earlier on in the game immediately went for mc’s neck when the curse took its effect on him. so there’s a very high possibility that leander is indeed affected by the curse, but his aptitude as a mage is so high that he’s able to fight back against it.

however, you see nothing wrong when mc makes the decision to hold leander’s hand of their own accord. leander is all smiley, says smth about how interesting mc’s curse is, and once again proves how he’s immune to the effects of the curse. none of that ‘expression darkening’ or ‘hand reaching for my neck’ sort of thing.

and it made me wonder about how all the times i’ve seen mc make bare hand to hand contact with someone (at least in the routes i’ve played so far, which is leander’s) was never of their own accord. the curse took effect on the traveller who took mc’s hand without hearing their warnings, and it nearly took over leander as well before he resisted it on his own.

so what if the worst of mc’s curse only happens when they are unwillingly touched? they’ve mentioned that it’s been years since they were able to touch someone like they can with leander, which suggests that while their curse has existed since birth, there might have been a time where it wasn’t as bad— or at least, the effect of the curse wasn’t at all immediate. perhaps the curse still does take effect when mc chooses to hold leander’s hand instead of hesitating, but it’s similar to how it was in the past, so leander didn’t have to make that immediate attempt to hold himself back.

Its almost like theyre still here,,,, (said through tears)

HE'S SO HANDSOME

Maybe I'm back or maybe not..

Just wanted to finish this art so bad. All spring news hit me a little haha... so I left my boy

It’s been ten years since Pitch Black had been defeated by The Guardians; ten years of peace and prosperity between all of the mythological realms. Fear giving way to happiness that gave way to vulnerability.

The Man in the Moon didn’t falter in his observations— keenly aware that it was only a matter of time— but not even he could anticipate what was about to befall his beloved Guardians.

Will the newest Guardian be able to remind them why they were chosen? Remind them that the light will always defeat the dark? Or is it already too late?

Alternate Route: Leaving the Game (Suresh/MC)

"I'm leaving the Villa today."

Everyone gasped when Coco said this. No one saw this coming at all. That she would leave.

Truthfully, Coco had been thinking about this since she saw Suresh at the first recoupling. She didn't want to deal with him anymore. Seeing him brought up old memories and old feelings that she wanted to leave behind. She came to the Villa to leave her past behind and Suresh ruined that.

As he always did.

"Coco, wait. Are you sure?" Dana looked grief-stricken.

"Yes, I'm sure. It's what best for me now."

"Oh babes," To her surprise, Kat walked over and hugged her tightly. While she and Kat never got along most of the time, they did care for each other in some strange way.

Finn joined in the hug, rubbing her shoulder, consoling her.

But Coco didn't cry, to the contrary, she felt free. As if a heavy burden was released from her shoulders.

Kat and Dana were both crying. Why? Coco didn't know but she understood why. They had gotten so close in the past five days despite the petty arguments and the catty behavior.

Arlo and Meera were quiet, looking dumfounded.

Eddie frowned, looking at Alfie and Suresh.

Alfie... he was pale. He stared blankly at the floor saying nothing.

And Suresh?

He looked devastated. Really devastated which surprised Coco. Why was he so hurt? He had been running around the Villa, flirting with Arlo without a care in the world. He had so happily taken her chance to move on. He had no problem cracking on with Dana and Arlo which infuriated her.

And why it made her want to leave.

Coco packed her things quickly, feeling relieved. She could go out and live her life again.

"Hey."

Coco looked up and saw Alfie. His face was red with tears but she felt nothing. He told her point-blank that he couldn't handle her baggage and she needed someone who could handle her flaws, her messiness, her baggage, her.

"I'll miss you," he croaked.

She nodded curtly, "It was nice meeting you Alfie."

She walked away.

And he wasn't worth her time anyway.

~~~

When she walked to the bedroom, Suresh was there, waiting for her.

"Here to gloat?" She spat.

He looked hurt, "No I-"

"You know what's funny? This was my chance to move on. This was my summer. But you ruined it, ruined it like how you ruined my life. Are you happy now?!"

"Coco I just-!"

"DON'T! Just don't! You sat here and scared away any guy that wanted to get to know me but you oh so happily cracked on with Arlo and Dana. You're a terrible person Suresh! I know that. Now these girls will learn it too."

Suresh's eyes were filled with tears, much to her satisfaction. Everyone in the Villa was gathered now, watching the spectacle like they always do.

"You're awful. You are. And I hope you're satisfied. Goodbye."

She pushed past him, leaving him.

For good.

~~~

As Coco walked out of the Villa, she was glad. She could find someone else on the outside. She could find the one for her.

She would be okay.

You fought back, but despite everything you were captured, left alive for some shady scientific experiments. A question kept pondering into your mind, why were you left alive? You? The black sheep of your family? It remains unknown to you.

Many years have passed, they called you XVIII, your name ripped away from you. You are not just a toy, you’re an invaluable asset to them, you kill people you are tasked to kill. An ‘assassin’, you kill to live.

Will you be a puppet to the end? Or will you finally cut the strings that have been holding you down for all those years? Or perhaps... you will find someone that will hold dear for you?

Hello hello,

Book 1 of AMR is releasing within a few hours! Really exciting stuff!

A couple of things I want to talk about ahead of the release:

First things first, I’ve said before that I wanted the demo for AMR to stay up until the game hits the market, and surreal as it is to say, today is that day! The demo version of AMR will be temporarily unavailable for a couple of days as I phase Book 1 out of the code, and create a stand-in character-creation scene (a la Fallen Hero: Retribution’s demo) to facilitate customized playthroughs. After the changes, the demo will start from the mage’s awakening scene in Arcadia, and anything before that will be inaccessible.

When the game goes online again, it will also include a new full-length update, which covers basically the rest of the Yotai arc. It’s been a long time coming! Thank you for your patience all this time. :D

Second thing to talk about: In the interest of full transparency, the published version of AMR is north of 90% similar to the demo version of AMR, with content up to the exoneration scene (right before the resurrection). The main differences in the release version vs. the demo are twofold: that the game has gone through a professional editing process, and that a number of choice forks throughout the game has seen some expansions. Overall, it should contribute to a more streamlined experience, but just in case anyone was expecting a dramatically different product vs. the demo, I’d just like to make this clear!

Last but not least, I wanted to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for being the reason that AMR could come to life. As an amateur writer and a non-coder, tackling an interactive fiction piece with hundreds of thousands of words was a terrifying, and often maddening endeavor. The enthusiasm surrounding this project is a big part of why I soldiered on despite it all, and I will always be thankful for your support.

I’ll be back tomorrow to answer some questions from the inbox and reblog the lovely fanworks that have come in since last month. Until next time, everyone!

Love,

Adam

Hmmm…

guess who👀

At this point, PB is just taunting us

*becomes the naive positivity*

Guys what if Dorian actually finishes the routes?? What if we get more female routes and female-centered stories??!;!;! What if (bc nix hydra was clearly going down) Dorian needed a new and already developed app so they could have a better slate to work with (and an app with a player base already).

I could be wrong but let me be naive

Yep, here it is. Uhm.. the future for last legacy isnt looking great. The arcana and fictif been such a big part of my life these past few years. I cant begin to think about how much of a loss this is for me right now. Ive loved this community a lot, thx for all the memes and late night convos.. this feels like s goodbye from me but im gonna stick around to see where this shitshow leads me. Im definitely missing the good days though.. i dont think it will ever be the same
