Hiii! Huge fan. I was wondering why Tellus isn't listed as an RO on the itch.io game page?

Hello! Thanks for being a fan! 🫶🏻

Tellus wasn’t originally an RO, I only had the other 4 at first. And after I decided to add him, I wanted to keep an element of surprise. His picture is included on itch though, and you can find a write-up for him in this devlog here.

I have to get this off my chest.

As I'm getting ready for the public release of Chapter 2 part 1 this coming Sunday...

I just feel the need to tell you something. I can't keep it to myself any longer, I'm bursting from excitement.

There will be a hidden RO in Suevi.

I'm not telling you who it is.

All I'm telling you is that he's male, and he's none of the existing or planned flings. He's a different character.

I love him dearly.

I love him so much I changed half the storyline for his sake (credit to L @neondreams-if for helping me filling all the plotholes).

And I hope you will love him, too.

EDIT TO ADD: Asks to the secret RO will be tagged with ???. You can ask me, but be aware that I might not be able to answer - or that I might have to stay vague about ???.

I have to stop reading at "The secret RO is" because if I get to the name , every time, no matter how unlikely, there's still an extremely gullible part of me that goes, "Whoa, really?"

I appreciate the undying faith and trust you have chosen to place in me, and will definitely never take advantage of you in any way.

Remember, everything I say is true, including this solemn promise.

Also, the secret RO is Harold.

Hi! Since male Ro's are in the majority, I'm curious if at least one of the 2 secret Ro's will be female, right? It would be good for the balance if we improved the proportions a little. Of course, this is just a suggestion, you don't have to accept it if you don't want to.

Yep, that's right. Initially, I wanted to make all the ROs gender selectable (so that it will be balanced), but because there's going to be CGs in the game, that means twice the work everytime I need to draw them. That's why only ??? is gender selectable (since they appear quite later and I want to see if current workload is too much or not). Since I'm still focusing on the main story, I think the 2 secret ROs route will be added much later, probably once the main story is completed.

Comment left on this post.

Huh. A fascinating question. I would say that if [redacted] were to get married they'd want to be "at home" in their true form, and that can't really be clothed. But, for the sake of this question, they'd wear something along these lines to a wedding:

So is the Prinx like a fling or are they a secret RO you didn’t mention in the introduction post?

The Prinx is a secret RO, which means you won’t know anything about them until you actually meet them. That’s why they’re not listed on the main introduction page on Tumblr. Also, in order to romance them, your resentment points need to be at exactly 20/0%.

New RO

Name: Knox De Luca

Gender: male (he/him) or non-binary (they/them)

General from the Kingdom of Black

Eventually, I did decide to just push this out here now that I’m rolling out character portraits for others. I wouldn’t want to wait until you meet them to show you a portrait, as that would’ve been too harsh 🥲

Here you go. Do with it as you will, and we’ll reconvene after you meet them. :)

How would the ROs react if, during the crushing stage, the MC bent down on one knee and proposed to them…with a ring pop

Naira/Namid- “FUCK YES!!!!!” puts the ring on and shows it to everyone like it's a 24k.

Val- is all grumpy because, in Val's mind, they're the one courting you and they should be the one proposing.

Maureen/Marius- “okay... Wow. You’re a bit dramatic. Why am I into that?” and they sigh like a tired parent.

Devan- thinks it's a candy pacifier and just chomps down on it.

Lucian/Leah- snorts, “As if I’d marry you.” They take the ring pop and just walk away laughing lol.

Cyrus- “you’re—” they smile happily, take the ring, “that’s a yes! I kind of expected a real ring, but I can always give you one, huh?”

???- takes the ring pop, “You know you’re already mine, right?” And they might just show you how, judging by their grin.
