IT’S HERE
Case Two: Chapter Four (“DNR/DNI”) is available to play here!
This update brings you 10,500+ words of new content, bringing the total wordcount of Citadel 123,000+ words! Unfortunately, I think you’ll have to replay starting at Case Two: Chapter One but I highly suggest you take this opportunity to make at least two save files:
> one where your intern goes to the party
> one where your intern stays home and does research
As I hinted at before, there are variable endings (three in total) to Case Two: Chapter Four, and this way you’ll get to experience all of them!
As always, feedback is appreciated. Let me know what your favorite moment in the chapter was - I’d love to hear it!
For coding errors, please let me know which line the error occurs at (ChoiceScript should display it in their error message).
Reblogs, as always, are more than welcome ✨
Libraries with a sense of humour.
This includes:
A nightmare scene with some variations involved
For MCs with Wits as their main skill, an exclusive optional nightmare route (Hint: Follow the voice)
More conversations with Alex, and with Vincent.
Assassins
Some overview on the police department and the Ripper’s relationship with their colleagues. (which is, not very good)
A flashback scene
Nickname option added on Chapter 1, as well the choice to use the Ripper’s mother’s maiden name (Note: The mother canonically has a Filipino heritage).
Mental health stats such as stress and cynicism amongst others are implemented, though they remain hidden from the stats page for now.
Additional 58,475 words excluding codes!
Old saves will not properly work, so apologies for that! I also advise you to keep a save for the start of Chapter 2, since I’ll be putting the next part on the same file, and dashingdon always reverts its saves to the beginning of the chapters whenever an update is made.
Do consider donating to my ko-fi if you liked the game and stay tuned to future announcements with regards to a probable Patreon launch soon. Anyway, feedback and reblogs will be deeply appreciated! Let me know about your thoughts and/or theories through asks, on the forum, or on discord.
Premise and additional notes below the cut.

transcript below the cut
Image 1: A screenshot of an space traveler from the game Outer Wilds. The caption reads: "The past is past, now, but that's... you know, that's okay! It's never really gone completely. The future is always built on the past, even if we won't get to see it."
Image 2: A screenshot of text reading: "These forces that often remake time and space, that can shape and alter who we imagine ourselves to be, begin long before we are born and continue after we perish. Our lives and our choices, like quantum trajectories, are understood moment to moment. That each point of intersection, each encounter, suggest a new potential direction."
Image 3: A screenshot of a journal page from the game What Remains of Edith Finch. It reads: "This is where your story begins. I'm sorry I won't be there to see it. It's a lot to ask, but I don't want you to be sad that I'm gone. I want you to be amazed that any of us ever had a chance to be here at all."
Image 4: A screenshot of two men standing next to a run-down building from the game Disco Elysium. A text box in the center reads: "'Glory,' says the graffito, 'to the ghosts of us!'"
Image 5: A screenshot of song lyrics reading: "But who's gonna notice we're gone? / When our job's done, as the evening winds / Down to a crawl, son, can I ease my mind / When we're all done? When we've resigned / In the long run, what do we leave behind?"
Image 6: A screenshot of text reading: "In their exploration, they stirred the people of the world to feel as one; in their sacrifice, they bind more tightly the brotherhood of man. Others will follow, and surely find their way home. Man's search will not be denied. But these men were first, and they will remain foremost in our hearts."
Image 7: Two screenshots of an alien creature from the game Outer Wilds. The captions read, "My kind weren't always like this. We weren't always so afraid. I did what I could to set things right, yet I am still of my kind, and you know now what they did. I cannot promise our fear won't stain your mind. And so, a choice: Are you certain you want to remember me?"
Image 7: A screenshot of text reading: "There will come a time when you believe everything is finished; that will be the beginning."
Image 8: A screenshot of text reading: "It means that we learn from the past in order to create a future. We are merely temporary characters in the huge story of life. Our loved ones teach us and set an example for us and we carry it forward as best we can."
Anyone have the gif’s of the Chilean goalkeeper Christiane Endler lifting two of her teammates with ease.
I need them for um reasons lol
Gosh idk who I should romance first.. and I don't think romancing them "all at once and see which one gets me a route first" will do me any good... Could I have some advice 😭😭 they're all too lovable 😭
Hmm, I'd say...
Go with Eli if you enjoy a route with a lot of pining and longing and will-they-won't-they angst.
Go with Davy if you're looking to really get swept off your feet.
Go with the Eli and Davy love triangle if you like the ideas of the individual routes and just want to complicate everything.
Go with Jean if you want something sweet and wholesome.
Go with Vic if you like a slow-burn with pain.
Go with Dr. Grey if you like an even slower burn with even more pain.
Dr. Sloan's route is a given. Everyone should romance Dr. Sloan.
