EDIT: There's been a known issue where accessing the epilogue from the compendium doesn't work. I'm looking into why currently, though in the mean time you can access the epilogue at the end of Path P. I'll have a new build up shortly to reflect this and have it working properly (hopefully) by next update.

So after 161 questions, it's finally done. Though for full transparency, there were a lot of similar questions so I condensed them down and tried to give as an encompassing answer as I could. I don't intend on doing another AMA on Password, so I wanted to be thorough.
That said though, I was expecting certain questions to be asked that weren't, and some questions I didn't expect but was happy to answer all the same. There were a lot of questions that I would say fall into the category o...
2023-04-04 02:41:35 +0000 UTC View PostIn case you missed it, here's some supplemental lore from Oswin's perspective spanning his involvement in the plot. Given the content, I'd recommend only reading once you've cleared Password in its entirety inclusive of the True End.
2023-03-21 22:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostNo build just yet.
AMA has been going well, though a few questions have been asked in languages other than English so if you fall into this category I'd recommend going back and changing it to English if you can. Googletranslate for the ones I've checked has not helped me understand what's being asked. I'll leave the form up for another few days and close it over the weekend to start compiling the answers.
In addition to the closing of the AMA form, I'm planning o...

2023-03-14 22:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostIt's been something that's been asked for a bit on the server, and now that the game is about done it feels like now is a good enough time to try and get one sorted. However, between the 2,500 odd amount of people on the server and however many more that will see this, coordinating a time to do it live feels impossible when I'm already in an irregular time zone.
So the compromise is a form, limited (for now) to one question per person just so I don't have literally hundreds of duplicate...
2023-03-07 01:19:48 +0000 UTC View PostPatrons got access to this last month, but figured I'd condense this down into one post for ease of access. Still not sure what the best way to have these kinds of stories compiled for ease of finding later outside just having a whole bunch of PDFs but I guess that's a problem for another day.
Heavy spoilers ahead, so read only if you've finished a full playthrough. You'll get the most out of them then.

2023-02-14 22:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostHopefully people still remember that there's more to Password than just the visual novel and a couple of side stories here and there. There's plenty of fan art and community projects that have been put together to also enjoy, but this particular time we're going to be looking once more into VR. I know some people have been wanting to visit the manor in VR, and while I'd like to say I could provide that it's just not feasible with everything else going on.
That said, what is possible is ...
2023-01-22 10:29:51 +0000 UTC View PostIt's been a week, so here's the next part. I haven't written the part following this as I only ever intended to give some minor context to what's happening, but I can always elaborate more or if the comments are anything to go by, tackle other characters for a change.
For the best reading experience, save these for after you've cleared the visual novel's main story if you haven't already consumed them. I'll try and figure out the best way to have these accessible within the game after n...

I've been holding onto this story for a while now. Think of it closer to extended lore kind of things given it would never fit in the VN with its current format to properly demonstrate some of the key moments that led to the story as you're experiencing it. Ideally, I'd like to provide a few of these to flesh out the world more but that'll be taking a back seat to finishing off the VN of course.
So for now, enjoy part one of probably the most critical day across the entirety of th...
2023-01-14 18:36:32 +0000 UTC View PostI know a fair few people have been eagerly awaiting the conclusion to Path A this month, and while I'd like to give it to you, it's simply not ready. By this, I've decided it's more appropriate that I give you the ending to Path A as well as the entirety of the True End in one big go. This will also make it easier to roll down access to the True End to the public before the game hits beta.
What does this mean for this month? What's involved for the True End?

Tentatively, the last Patron update will be coming on January. Also tentatively, it'll be the last public update as well.

It's a little shorter than normal, but not by much. If anything I didn't want to drag things out given we're at the end of this branch, just keep in mind that it is still meant to be a bad timeline, and all the answers are primarily for Paths A and B.

So as I said last update, I want to provide another side-fic for those wanting smut. Goal is to have something that would have slotted in nicely into the game where it would have gone which is why Sal and Roswell are notably missing from this list. Might tackle them after these three are all done but for now pick between these three.
I'll try and have the fic up around the time of the next update. Poll closes in a week-ish.
