I say the same but I would like to continue seeing Nel more perverse with Celica ;3

I personally like the Nel storyline a lot

@TipTap. I've felt the same way. Where the idea of being interested with Celica has ended but more in her body (to live the life that was cut short). Hopefully, my suspension isn't ruining anything, but the demoness was talking to a seemingly stronger power. Maybe it is Nel...Nel didn't say anything about the hypnosis, the voice stone can be used to control Celica....maybe Nel has an end came of using using Celica because or her heritage. With Deimus acknowledging your concern changes if needed can be modified...I truly think we've only scratched the surface of the relationship and Deimus is intentionally leaving this out there

My opinion is that the game focuses so much on Nel being in control that it doesn't even feel like I'm playing as Celica anymore, which isn't helped by all the grinding you have to do with letting her posses Celica's body. It's also my opinion that the story focuses so much on Nel wanting Celica's body and not Celica, that her assurances she cares about Celica come off as insincere.

There is also the ghost whisperer or whatever her title is, by the beach, that adresses the issue where Nel is "too powerful" for her own good. Your opionion isn't wrong, except for one thing- It is adressed in a whole questline that's not entirely finished as far as I know

I'm not saying that these suggestions are wrong, but as long as you reach a point where you can separate the Stories. Either choosing the good path in the relationship with Nel (as a Friend) or the Evil path (in which she has only been cheating on her all this time, manipulating her by making her get used to her being inside her and being Nel who takes charge of the body of the protagonist, getting closer and closer convincing Celica to give her body to him and until finally Celica is the one who wants him to possess her entirely giving her total control and thus Nel take over Celica's body making it hers now in more and then showing several different perverted scenes of what she does with her new life and new body)

Well the approach is not bad, but that is your point of view. It should also be understood that tastes are tastes and each one will have preferences. That idea is good to implement but as long as History is divided. I mean having a bad ending and a good ending. In this way, it will satisfy all the fans of this amazing project! :3

I get that, but it doesn't feel like she still wants Celica around in the game, which is why I was suggesting adding small things. Even just Celica having a conversation about trivial matters with Nel would be enough to show that Nel still cares about her, instead of seeing Celica as an obstacle or a nuisance to having a body again. I do hope you continue to develop them, but at the moment the late game portion when all the currently implemented events are complete, it doesn't even feel like I'm playing as Celica anymore, it feels like I'm playing as a stand-in who's just waiting for Nel to take over.

TipTap

I understand entirely. However, the story between those two characters is far from over, and there's still more room for their relationship to grow. Now, Nel is at a point where she could easily steal Celica's body and cast her aside, but she chooses not to; she still wants Celica around. But on the other hand, she doesn't want to give up her new opportunity in life and decides to ignore the consequences, to the point that she wants Celica to learn to be a ghost.

Accidentally posted too early so I'm redoing this. I'm a pretty big fan of this project after playing your latest build, but I feel like there's a huge issue that's hampering my enjoyment, and I'm sure it's unintentional. That being said, if it's left alone I feel like it might bring about the wrong message, and so I felt I should post my thoughts. This is specifically about Nel. I love the concept and the character, but the more the relationship advances, the less it feels like she's supposed to be Celica's friend/helpful ghost who shares the same body, and the more it feels like a hostile takeover. This isn't helped by the fact she says it's "MY" body instead of "OUR" body, and the fact that Celica never addresses this. After you allow her into your home, it seems like her interest in Celica vanishes completely and all she's interested in is living Celica's life for her, effectively robbing her of her own life and forcing her to remain in the back, helplessly watching as Nel does what she thinks is best, regardless of what Celica wants. At no point is this addressed, and I feel like it would be easy to do so. If Nel talked to Celica a few times when Celica is still in her own body, or if Nel as a ghost still played around with Celica, or if they simply both talked or did something while they were both in their ghostly forms (and neither had the body) that would go a long way to helping it seem like she really does care about Celica, and not that she's just pretending to care about her so that she can steal Celica's life from her. It seems like you might be trying to develop this a bit further with Celica learning how to be a ghost, but that just comes across like she's trying to learn how to effectively fight Nel for her own body, not that she's interested in sharing it anymore. Just a few details or scenes that show these characters really do still care for one another instead of having Nel constantly hijack Celica's body whenever she's unsure of how to help her friends (such as having Nel give her advice instead of doing stuff for her, or better yet, having Celica learn from Nel's example so she can act without Nel taking over) would fix this and remove the hostile body-snatching vibe.

can't download because of itch.

Yea, like 2 mins after I posted that question I remembered I got that key and that area. Thank you for the response.

MahoganyZakTHEX

Once you finish the main events you should have a new key in your inventory. Use that to a familiar area.

Town Magic

what's the new enemy? I haven't found it anywhere?

MahoganyZakTHEX

Yay!
