I played it through, paying careful attention to what Pages said, and on my first try, I got it right! ... ... And then I reloaded my last save and got it wrong, which was much more fun, so I got it wrong again! And that was even better. :D
As a long-time romancer of space bats, I find this game delightful.
Heeheehee, the space bats are sooo much fun to romance, I’m glad I could capture a sliver of it! And one of the things I love about Fallen London is that failing at a check can be even more fun than succeeding. I wanted to convey some of that feel in my own mechanics.
This was absolutely incredible! I loved the witty dialogue, and the dynamic between the characters was so fun to read. Looking forward to seeing your other work!
Thank you! This game was super self-indulgent, so I'm glad that a few other folks have had fun with it! I've written a few fics with these two, but I really wanted to get to paint them yelling at one another, too. XD
Okay, “botched Amber job” has officially entered my Neathy vocabulary. XD
This was so much fun to finally get to sit down and watch; it made me happy to see other Fallen London players getting the jokes and references I was setting up. A writer can’t control how a reader reacts to what they make, but it is really really gratifying to see when your intentions click well. Also your combined laughter is really infectious; watching this put me in such a good mood.
You’re correct about how the randomized element works; it’s assigned right after the player clicks to Start a new game on the main menu. It sets values for each of the three books, which picks one that pages wants as a gift, one which pages would NOT like as a gift, and one which it already owns. Pages’ art changes based on that last one, and a different book will be hanging from its belt.
I love that you both had a wager on the outcome of this playthrough! It makes me want to make more games that people can have a friendly competition with! That might be silly to say when, you know, two-player games are super common. But I make visual novels, so there usually isn’t any PVP! XD Sorry that this had to be a game with the end message of “Win conditions are subjective,” when you directly needed a binary win/loss for your own fun style of play! I’m going to be pretty busy with other visual novels for the foreseeable future, but if I make another game with Pages, I’ll let you know about the possibility for a rematch! 😁

ace attorney reference omg
It’s not the first time and it won’t be the last, that is a Turnabout Guarantee ™️
Pages is adorable, they are a kindred spirit!
Yeah, Pages can be very evil, but it’s just so cute while doing it 😊
