performers who wear the mask of time

I wonder why people don't like Charons?

Lunogloom has Chinese text over her head. I picked the 'Lunarians are cool' option because I thought the 'that would be scary' option would be mean but I got Chaos for it. 😂

Seems like Chaos has its using, like with Harlan. And lmao the fruit stall guy is in love with Harlan without realizing he's a guy and younger to boot. He thinks Harlan has a younger sister. Dude, you look about 40, a younger sister would mean she'd have to be in her 20s. I feel a little bad because Harlan wants to drag this out because he actually likes Valen's critiques;;

So I guess all Lunos look the same and have 'Luno' at the start of their name?

Aw, Paniemon is cute.

Secret Histories of the Forsakens: So interesting!

Also, it seems like maybe Elysium are the good guys? I mean, better than the Empire at least.

Betwixt Leaves and Branches: The Flithoid Waves: "Their divine power was forged into sacred relics, and who bore them served as a vessel of the gods' authority, spreading their grace across the land. Only the most virtuous and pure of heart were chosen to wield such relics." That's definitely the sword/key Vita used to unlock the door behind the Goddess statue, right?

The Charon entry: How come Vita doesn't have horns if they're a Charon? Wait, the red thing is a horn? Why do some have horns like that but others have big ones? And the name does originate from the Greek Charon, I wondered. Charon can either become Daimons, remain mostly normal or turn into monsters. I noticed that Charon like Vita and Berry resemble aspects of Filthoids, plus the Crystalophile note about it resembling human anatomy 'suggesting it may not have always been a monster'.

Lol my feelings pivoted on Outsider. For meeting him: this is my type of design for a guy. after meeting him: how dare you snatch our hard-earned crystal! *frowny face* Basically I was Snow in that moment. Plus we know that Psyche and Henrick need it for some reason. Maybe Outsider's reasons are important but what about the guys we met first?

I appreciate the yellow diamond on things that let's you know you haven't read/inspected certain things yet.

I thought Truffle looked too much like Phoebe from Wuthering Waves but at least her personality is very different, though the closeness with Geniemon is very much like Phoebe's with Echoes down to understanding them when no one else can.

When going back into town to meet up with Outsider, your options to reply to Henrick telling you not to involve Psyche are:

She is not your daughter you know. <- WTF that's just mean, she has no parents and he is her guardian now
You are quite a polite friendly person. <- If that's not sarcasm, Vita is really oblivious. 😅

Okay yep option two was sarcasm. I get it but Henrik has his reasons even if we don't agree or understand. He is Psyche's protector, she seems like she could be a teenager still plus it's clear something else is going on.

I feel bad when I can't befriend a Geniemon, like it's a personal failing not to be liked by them. 😂😭

Fina's voice is so lovely.

OMG WHY IS THERE CURSE CENSORING 

Outsider took the stone because he wanted to use it to get inside the hotel to look around for his lost friend Hunt and others who disappeared. I forgive him. I mean I knew there was a reason once he asked to meet Vita later.

I'm  having this weird but kind of funny issue where after a cutscene/convo, Vita starts running away. X'D

Chapter 16: I hate the system so much, literally having your free will stripped away like that and going against your own morals...like daaamn.

Gwak Seon-woo wasn’t particularly passionate about food, but as a Korean, he still believed that a solid meal was the foundation of everything. This was a country where people greeted each other with “Have you eaten?” instead of a simple hello, and parted ways with “Let’s grab a meal sometime.” And yet, here he was, treating someone offering him food like absolute trash. No, it was worse than just poor treatment—this was outright rejecting kindness in the most insulting way possible.

Lmao Seung-hyeon is learning how to deal with Seon-woo!!

I hope Seon-woo's half-asleep apology doesn't get him into trouble with the System. Ahh I wanted to see Seung-hyeon's reaction.

Chapter 17: Whew, his points are okay. Was Eun-jae maybe messaging Seung-hyeon?

Chapter 18: The first option sounded too intimate, I would've chosen “Maybe you just feel unfamiliar to me. But that doesn’t mean… it’s necessarily a bad thing.”

Eun-jae is showing a different side today, it's kind of interesting. 🤔

Chapter 19: Interesting exchange between Seung-hyeon and Eun-jae. It didn't feel like Seung-hyeon was being possessive over Eun-jae, and Eun-jae was irritated. Then Seung-hyeon said Seon-woo should just come with them.

Chapter 20: A moment ago, Eun-jae had been locked in a silent battle with Seung-hyeon. Now, it seemed the two had reached an agreement.

Hahah Seon-woo is being double-teamed now, I like it. Now it's almost like they're in a tug of war lmao.

Aw, the workers loosened up around Seon-woo.

Ooo what does Seung-hyeon wants to say to Seon-woo??

Chapter 21: Seung-hyeon's clearly not going to give up on finding out what's wrong, why can't the System just let him lie and say it's the embezzlement case he's working on?

Chapter 22: Eun-jae and Seung-hyeon looking at Seon-woo while singing that Nagging song. =P

Chapter 23: If the system had a physical form, he would’ve already socked it in the face at least once.

Seriously, WTF!!

I want to see stuff happen with the embezzlement case soon.

Chapter 24: Hmm so Su-won is slimy despite what he seems?

Chapter 25: I love Seung-hyeon cutting Seon-woo off on a line he didn't want to say anyway lol. The OG Gwanggong was straight up brutal, no wonder Seung-hyeon noticed a different geeze. I'm surprised the system didn't detract a bunch of points throughout this convo. So what is Seung-hyeon's hypothesis on what's wrong with Seon-woo? Does he think he's sick, or that something personal happened to change him? And what does the passcode meaaan?

You can choose to play as a girl or a boy. I picked boy. You start in Purgatorio Island where Filthoids have recently attacked the village. Everyone has escaped on boats except MC, who's official name is Vita, and their childhood friend Berenica because the latter went back to find Vita. Now they have to figure out how to leave the island without a boat. In the past, people fled to the island and have kept hidden from the outside world.

The basic graphics are similar to Wuthering Waves. The controls are more like WuWa as well thought not as precise/controlled. I do like how you can jump again while in the air if you realize you're not gonna hit your mark and you can also shoot through the air. So far no flying or swimming. You can duck and slide. There's no fall damage! Combat is extremely easy so far. There are chests throughout so it encourages exploring. There was one 'hidden' chest you had to duck in to get. You have to pick up the items yourself (except in commissions), there's a 'collect all' option but it's only for nearby items and items tend to be spread out, so it can be easy to miss things if you don't walk around (it's hard to see things on sight). Breaking boxes gets you potions and ammo mostly. There's various other items to pick up in the world like stuff to sell or make things with. I got to level 5 just exploring and taking down all the enemies scattered around town. You can pick up a gun when you're heading to the docks and choose between a rapid fire or slower fire rate gun.

There's a Goddess based religion. Why are there so many bird carvings, holy moly. Maybe real birds don't come there so they made some? But you can pick up bird eggs...

You mean to tell me Vita didn't explore every inch of the island with Berry growing up and never saw the Goddess statue before?

According to Berry, they used to live in what's now ruins beyond the Goddess statue, but Vita doesn't remember that. There's a story there you can find that I think is about Vita, Berry and another kid Vita was trying to afford a cake for?

So these people have been looking for Berry, who they call 'No. 0', for a long time, and Vita is her Resonator. Vita letting go of her hand in that crucial moment made things worse - if only she'd fallen with him or she tricked the bad guys ('I'll jump too if you don't pull him up'). Now presumably she got taken by them anyway and thinks Vita is dead.

Sawashiro Miyuki is the seiyuu for Camilla! Another blonde char!

Interesting there's an 'Impressions' system where your choices effect how people around you react to you. The first choice you have comes down to 'be friendly with Camilla and Snow' or 'shun them' so it's pretty clear-cut... It seems when talking to people there's an Impressions check which you can fail, though you can roll again with special dice.

They called Vita a 'Charon' right? They have horns and distinctive spines.

I like how you can stop and read info entries mid-convo.

Cool, there are costume pieces like animals ears or tail! Ohh, that's what the summoning system is for. You get characters by buying their secret letters and running commissions for a chance to get their...shards? It takes 30 to summon a character. This goes for some weapons and demon wedges too.

I'm so glad dodging isn't a necessity so far, you can do it but it's not made a big deal of. 

So the sword which is really a key that Vita has now was left behind by 'someone who knew them well'.

Can we not choose to run around as Vita? 😢 Oh, you have to go in and 'Deploy' him.

I just realized Snow's name is a pun with Tsuno (horn). And what's this about voices guiding her to Vita?
