Larkin Has Been Updated with New Routes!

Hoohoo! Happy Larkin Update Day Folks! The game has been updated today with a total of about 50k words on my end and about 12k on yours! Bringing our grand total up to 407k words! <3

In this update visit Nash for Lunch, (with Rose or not), argue with an old lady at the casino, make some decisions about your character's past and get a little Ace lore.

As a note, the update is available for all players but expands with the most content to those who have either visited Nash or Rose and Wyatt on their second night in Larkin. (For a detailed map on how to get the most of the new content, I'll drop it under a read more.)

I've done some bug fixes as well, and cleaned up some typos in previous chapters, thank you to all who've reported!

Happy Playing!

How to get the most of today's content update

Visit Nash on your first free night

Have a conversation with him, don't interrogate him about the mine

Head to the Emerald, and tag along with Rose

Tell her about the Happenings!

Move to include Nash in your investigation

as some of you already noticed, the laidback/intimidating and independent/collaborative stats have been overhauled from the game. don't be alarmed; it was a decision on my part. i've decided to get rid of them because i didn't feel like they added much to the story in terms of flavour text and also, doing this gives me space to focus on enhancing the other stats.

as always, i truly truly hope you enjoy. a smaller update will be coming in the following weeks with tweaks to the relationships stats (and any other bugs found in this chapter). if you find any, feel free to report them in my ask box or email them to me at evertides@gmail.com. all my love <;33

Yes. this is amazing.

Book Three Sneak Peek Snippet #1...

I ease myself up, grunting as pain ricochets down my spine. “Why…why did you come back for me?”

Farah/Felix leans closer, brushing her/his thumb across my dirt-marred cheek, and holds my eye. “Because you’re always my priority, babe. You always will be.”
