Chapter 4: what the release post couldn't show (Patreon)

I couldn't show any of this in the release post, and that bugged me, because a big chunk of the work on this chapter went into exactly these scenes. So here they are, the way they look in the game, with the line underneath.

Each scene is a chain of short clips, and the picture follows the text. When he says slower, it gets slower. The joins between the clips took me longer than I'd like to admit. I kept at them until I stopped seeing them.

The GIFs are silent, which honestly takes out half of it. At night her breathing drops away whenever Avel speaks and comes back after, and I didn't expect such a small thing to matter that much. The file at the bottom is fourteen seconds from one of these scenes, with its sound.

Not everyone gets all of these. One of them depends on who Serith went to in Chapter 3, and the one where she's standing only shows up if you make one particular choice at the end of the night. The chapter is full of things like that.

So I'm curious what your first run looked like. Did you meet Tomsen, and how did that go? Did Mara only bring you the papers?

Enjoy the descent.
