So I'm looking at what game to play next, and I'm thinking of this new "Roses of Villarosa." It sounds fun - a nice new sort of setting, space not the mythical past! Any of you played it?
the librarian, beatrice, has different backstories depending on your route. i think she's a compulsive liar - her mom died in a boating accident, and is alive in Mauritia and beatrice visits monthly, and her mom is a criminal
Or maybe the librarian's mom reincarnated. Not that I ever talked much to her, but the game mentions reincarnation just enough I keep thinking they've got to have some content about that gated somewhere.
But yeah, I've been visiting different villages with Charmie, though no idea yet whether it's the different routes or an RNG. Though I'm trying now to check the closest moons - I found some differences there once when I was extorting stuff from the Selvya AI; not sure what though.
ohh i didn't think of that.
I dont think the villages are rng, ive played from this one save at least five times and the village he takes us to is consistent
Girlfriend was on the vicious-social-fighting route yesterday - no idea if she's coming back to that save; she says she doesn't know how to get out of the disaster - and it seems some of the school's passageways have changed. And the cake shop in the town next door started making more savory than sweet flavors....
I'm wondering if it goes beyond social fighting? There were some hints. Like that knife Lunetta let us see.
lunetta gets worse the worse you are, right? someone - not me! - needs to try the route where you always escalate the conflict
I tried escalating several times. She kept getting worse and worse back, but I kept losing before I could really see how far she was willing to go.
Oh yeah, she's good at plotting. Until you really get Charmie on your side, or subvert her AI, to help you get through them. But if you're being worse, it's really hard to get Charmie on your side... till you've actually defeated Lunetta, I hear? Haven't tried yet getting the AI first.
If you try it make sure to butter up teh teachers first and be visibly nice to everyone. Whats a utopia without still some biases?
@fiction-the-science, as I was telling my girlfriend yesterday, the utopia needs some compromises for the plot. And this's a realistic compromise - if most people grew up in utopia and are acting like it, the teachers aren't going to be expecting secret vicious undercutting!
Also, @guilding-lilies, how do you actually subvert Selvya?
Oh heres this thread youre talking about @king-art-os!
Like I said those hints seem like youre enslaving not subverting her. Not goinna do that with that rascally Selvya.
Made a new wiki page, Routes. Also if anyone wants to add a branching timeline I think we could use a good infographic.
