Lacuna Rambles/Thoughts/Gif Reacts #1: Achievements! π (Patreon)
Content
Some of you are casual collectors of achievements, while others might enjoy the hunt for them! (You can also always turn them off with how I have the books coded. π) Regardless of your play style, it's my hope that the achievements catch your attention! There are hints within them and often some humor, but I've been noticing a slightly disquieting trend in Book Two's.
They're kind of mean.
'Taunting' or 'riddled with dark humor' might sound better; however, I was looking at my notes, and I think that word fits too. π The ??? is exerting more control this time around. You might be able to uncover outcomes that will earn a persistent comment in the form of a trophy that you'll know isn't from the narrative because it's just a bit too exacting and pointed. We have one called: Curiosity Killed the Cat* where the paired text is vicious along with another that's funny at first until you realize more about why it's named like that. I encourage you to always read more deeply into things, even the achievements. They will adapt to your story. :D
It's important to notice all the little ways the ??? exerts influence!
Some of these trophies are going to be hard to unlock, almost like they are forbidden (?), but that's what guides are for along with your fellow readers and myself answering questions! (Hear Me Now is one of these! It links to a special bonus scene if the ??? is getting closer to the MC. Your nightmares might take on a different meaning if you can earn favor with them. It isn't a pathway I anticipate many readers going down because it's dark in a different kind of way than what we've seen so far.) Aside from that, there are media references, sometime song links, digs, and jokes in the achievement text. (Obviously, the digs aren't ever me @ your MC!)
While achievements are not a part of our Book Two alpha build, I enjoy making notes while writing and adding them in at the very end. ππ
*No, it isn't about R's cat, please don't worry about himβ¦ Perhaps, something or someone else. π
