I'm just hanging on in the hope that once this interminable flashback ends, there'll be an option for the MC to go "Well that's all very interesting, but not really any of my problem. Bye now." and then go off bowling or something.

I was wondering what's with the flod of notifications.

It's starting to get really hard to follow with all the weird names, alternative names, and goddesses.

Cool update though, might have to replay it a few times to try and get the gist of the story.
There is a new option that summarises the story so far. Give it a shot and suggest any improvements tou might want. :)

Got to say, not a fan of the massive prequel arc I suddenly got after finally picking the game up again, since last year, or so, lol. I mean, yes I've always wanted Mara's backstory, but having it from Selene's POV and it being this long at that is just draining...The only positive I got out of it was Morrigan's introduction, and Mara with a dick, which was a hot image I didn't think I wanted at the time, but definitely enjoyed. Still this is torture, as someone who isn't a fan of Selene really, and now got to be away from Xue and Kyra for an unknown amount of time update wise. :cry: Oh also the game definitely needs a clean up on the constant changing of titles like mother and father, or which name Selene is using in the past, it feels like continuity errors, and throws me off while reading personally.
Thank you for following the story along with me. I understand that this can be difficult, but the prequel is necessary to explain the characters you see in the present. We are back in present times with the latest update.

This is my main pet peeve with the game (apart from the lack of my girl Chloe). Sorry for forgetting some of the names but we have:

A) Eve who is also Father/Mara/and Nyaveu or something like that??
B) Morrigan who is also Mother/Lilith(?)/Kiki-kuku-somethingsomething(?)
C) Selene who is MC's lover according to her, but also her daughter (which would make her Kyra's sister?) and Xilisleine or something like that.
D) Daru is the grandmother of Selene and also hates Mara's gut.

Also I laughed at Yoko (Mother) and Yuki (Daughter).


Still, Ironically, love the game it keeps me engaged.
Chloe is the focus of the build I am working on.
A few things you might find interesting and clear up the confusion. :)

A) Eve in her past life was Mara. In the past timeline she and her lover Morigan created Selene to be their daughter. Nenyve is a mythical hero whose stories are told in the present, who may or may not be based on Mara.
B) Ki-sikil-lil-la-ke is from the epic of Gilgamesh. Translated as Lilith in English. The world of 'The Lost Chapters' is very much inspired by pre-semitic Indo- European cosmology. Danu is name after the Irish deity of the same name. In my story she is blessed with the power of Airmeith/ Airmid, the goddess of healing. As per the myths both them are of the Tuatha Dé Danann.
C) Yep
D) Yep

I'm just hanging on in the hope that once this interminable flashback ends, there'll be an option for the MC to go "Well that's all very interesting, but not really any of my problem. Bye now." and then go off bowling or something.
Funny you say that. As I said, this game will respect your choices, especially the obvious ones like that.

I understand, and thank you for replying. Personally I very much enjoy your game, I've been here for a few years now, lol. I continue to look forward to your updates. Now as far as the update is concerned, I did enjoy figuring out basically Chloe's identity even if we had clues before, although still not sure why, or how unless Selene did it too, but given she wasn't in the first timeline. I'm guessing Lilith is most likely the culprit on the reset so far, and possibly Kyra coming to the past if it wasn't an accident as a result instead. (Not a spoiler for others, but a theory).

Thanks!

Also forgot but Eve/Mara is also the Monster King right ?
Yes, Eve is the reincarnation of Mara, but she's basically her going by that she still has glimpses of memories, but it seems at least her powers and memories are suppressed for now. I don't know if she's still immortal, or if that's tied into being "Mara", since we would need conformation from Lilith herself to know if Mara's immortality is restored, or not with her reincarnation. Selene at least believes that if Eve awakens as Mara again that her power would be restored at least.

Another thing to add is that it seems Eve isn't just a human with Mara's memories, or soul, but possibly whatever Mara originally was, going by the fact people don't see Eve as human on either side.

Returning to the game after almost a year away:

Am I the only one who thinks that some of the Lains should disappear from the face of the earth? I like the character Ashley, she's a brat who believes she actually has some power and is a master manipulator, even though she's just a pawn on the Lains' board. They seem to follow a self-fulfilling prophecy, the more they fixate and act against it, the worse the situation gets and they don't realize it!

Well, I've heard rumors that there will be multiple endings in this game, so it's possible that there's a route where, to draw an analogy with another Sim game Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, siding with the Lains is similar to siding with the Kuei-jin.

I did not imply you were. Apologies if I came across that way.
Everyone has their preferences, and that is how it should be.
I understand that people don't like this content in games, especially when the MC is involved, but in some situations I think it's a necessary tool to demonstrate the problems and/or traumas of a certain character. Removing this requires a more explicit text explaining how the situation got to where it did.

If I'm not mistaken, the simple insinuation that one of the characters, Selena, went through this at the hands of the Lains family, made it clear to me that they are not virtuous or the good guys who fight to protect humanity, but rather a somewhat intolerant group that worsened an already existing conflict.

There's ony one thing that PISSES ME OFF with this game: It doesn't have a wiki, a journal, a diary, anything that helps us track down WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!!!!! This is more confusing than DARK! Everytime that i come back here, i have to replay bcs i've already forgot part of this godamn lore.
I love games with a good story and writting, and i've seen so many games far simplier than this one, that even when not needed, had features such as this. And then i come to this game and have to fry my brains trying to remember a billion of names, places, objects. Fucking hell...
