[the far back left] twinsies for Dear Diary, We Created A Plot Hole! (by the wonderful @ddwcaph-game ), Eli (OC) & Lee Salazar (the SI!OC)
[far back middle] SI!OC for Wednesday aka MY Marilyn/Larissa lover, Helene Addams
[front left] SI!OC for Baldur's Gate 3, Storm Sorceror, Absolute Babygirl, Resident Mintharamancer & Bhaal's Favorite Daughter, Helene Haelfryn Xorrlarin
[middle with the party hat] My SI!MC for Resident Lover (by the genius and absolute big brain @team-avia ): Helene Salazar
[front right] SI!OC for HPHM, the first babygirl I actively developed all thanks to my obsession for a morally ambiguous bankrupt badass redhead archaeologist professor (Patricia Rakepick— I STILL LOVE YOUUUUUU), Helene Marie Adler
[front far right] SI!MC for Relics of the Lost Age series by the GREAT @jamesshawgames , which came after HPHM and got me actively obsessed with another morally ambiguous bankrupt badass redhead archaeologist (which would have net me 2 nickels. I love me my amoral, kickass redhead wifeys), Helene Spillane
Since the IAC characters are aware that they're in a story, will the DDWCaPH! characters also eventually become aware that they're in a story as well?
Yup! But not at first. At the beginning, F6E will think that they just got transported into their own short stories, but I don't think it's much of a spoiler to say that they'll become aware after they get captured by Squad 626.
Of course, some of the characters already know, like Julie and Robert. F6E discovering the fourth wall is definitely NOT the biggest reveal when we get to that point though. 😉
These little fellows have been haunting my brain so I decided I had to finally draw them. So here they are! They are absolute menaces to each other, but hey, are you really siblings if you don’t get under each other’s skin sometimes? <-(At least, that’s how they see it)
As promised, here are two of the new NP choices in Chapter 4 where you can let your twin or friends finally talk back against Tita Steph. I had a lot of fun writing them 😄
Take note that picking these options will increase Wayne's Silliness and Roselyna's Emotional stats respectively (plus a bunch of other things), so you might not want to pick them if you don't want them to act like that later.
I've also expanded the scene where MC talks back to Tita Steph, so there will now be a new Intimidation stat check (which will grant you a new achievement if you succeed) if you pick that option.
I might share Heart/Star Twin, Lily, and JM's scenes later, but that's all for now!
