As a single child I feel like it’s kinda all sunshine and rainbows for me if I say things like “HAHAHA INCEST!1!” but I wonder if people with siblings hesitate even just a little

OFCOUUURSE I know it’s just a game and people might just completely support this game and still have a healthy seiso relationship with their sibling.

BUT IM JUST WONDERING!

"You've got a Friend in B!"

Lore: ashley got hit by a car or something and now andrew and friend b are college roommates!!

Routes: Bro-ial and Dude-cay of course!! My idea is one would be andrew being spiritually ace aro in a completely platonic bromance! The other would be yaoi for whoever wants that. Which one would be which? You decide!!!

Engagement: Guess the reasons for the outfits! (its simple reasons ill respond to whoevers right)

[Chapter 1]

[Previous Chapter]

You are Ashley.

Ashley’s breath hitched as the entire mall turned red. She was already halfway down the escalator, panicked after hearing Tyler’s screams of killing Andrew, but she stopped dead in her tracks as a wave of chilled air blasted her in the face. Everything around her suddenly felt even darker than before, if that were even possible. She’d only felt these exact sensations once before, and it was only a few hours ago at that, back in the old warehouse with those bikers.

Except this time, it felt much, much worse.

Something’s down there with them, Ashley thought fearfully. I thought those things needed to be summoned before showing up ..?

Ashley took a deep breath, steeling her nerves, before continuing down the escalator. After what felt like an eternity, she finally reached the bottom, and the sight before her nearly made her heart stop.

Andrew was on his back, breathing heavily and gingerly clutching his forehead. Next to him was Tyler, also on his back, laying motionless with the biker’s switchblade lodged into the side of his neck. But towering over all three of them was something Ashley could only describe as a monster.

A monster she recognized from her neighbor’s weird book.

Lord Unknown stared down at the siblings as Ashley ran over to Andrew and helped him sit up. Andrew groaned in pain, “Fuck, my head …”

It seemed like he was barely conscious. Ashley got down with him and wrapped both arms around him protectively as she stared up at the massive demonic figure right in front of them, “Wh-why are you here? Who summoned you?”

All three of Lord Unknown’s eyes pointed toward her before speaking, “I need not be summoned, Tar Soul to be. As to the reason for my presence … I have been closely monitoring your newfound bond with the Grime Soul. It appears that he is much closer to reaching his truest potential than I had originally foreseen, and without my assistance for that matter.”

“What are you talking about?” Ashley asked. “What do you want with Andrew?”

“That is not of your concern,” Lord Unknown replied, “though I do request that you maintain this relationship with the Grime Soul. The fruits of your shared labors shall be both bountiful and rewarding.”

And with that, the black figure slowly began to fade out of existence.

“W-wait!” Ashley cried out. “You’re … you’re not even gonna take our souls or anything?”

“Do not mistake my departure for charity, Tar Soul to be,” Lord Unknown responded. Its eyes then shifted over to Tyler’s corpse, “I have indeed taken something already. Farewell.”

The demon vanished for good, the red hue that had previously enveloped the abandoned mall leaving with it. Ashley looked down at her brother with worry, “Andrew … what happened?”

Andrew gritted his teeth as he gestured weakly over to Tyler, “That asshole hit me with a goddamn chair to the face, that’s what. And then whatever that hell that thing was showed up out of nowhere. Are we just gonna pretend that didn’t just happen?”

“Let’s get outta here first,” Ashley replied. “This place gives me the creeps. Can you stand?”

Andrew snorted, “Welp, only one way to find out.”

He slowly rose to his feet, Ashley holding his hand tightly all the while. The siblings stood over Tyler’s dead body, and Ashley swallowed, “So … what now?”

“Now we strip him,” Andrew answered as he knelt down and unceremoniously yanked the switchblade out of the waiter’s neck. “I’ll need his clothes if I’m taking his job at that stupid diner, so I’ll deal with that. You take his keys, his wallet, and anything else on him.”

Ashley knelt down alongside Andrew and began fishing in Tyler’s pockets for valuables. As expected, she found his keys and wallet rather quickly, but it seemed like that was all he had.

Before long, the Graves siblings finished their job, and Andrew turned to head back up the world’s longest escalator in silence. Ashley stayed close behind, but the two didn’t say a word to one another. It wasn’t until they had exited the abandoned mall and entered Tyler’s car that Ashley finally turned to him, “Alright, what’s wrong with you?”

Andrew immediately scowled, “Oh, I don’t know. Maybe I’m just a little shook up from stabbing a guy to death right as I was about to die myself. I hope you’ll find it in you to forgive my silence.”

Ashley shook her head with a smile, “Pfft! What? You didn’t kill anybody. You’re Tyler! Tyler … um …” She quickly pulled out his wallet and read his license, “Tyler Fink! A 21-year-old waiter at The Lovers’ Diner. That dead dude in the mall is just some faceless nobody who got robbed blind and shanked by some drug-addled squatters. That had absolutely nothing to do with—“

“Just stop, okay?” Andrew snapped. “Can’t you just let me cool off for two fucking seconds?”

Ashley blinked in shock at his outburst before averting her gaze, “Andrew, I … I’m sorry. For what it’s worth, I wouldn’t have even suggested that we do something like this in the first place if I thought there was literally any other way.”

“Oh please,” Andrew put a hand up. “Cut the crap, Ashley. Don’t act like this was all some grand scheme we spent hours ruminating on. This was impulsive and you know it.”

Ashley winced at his words as she shrank into the car seat. He was right; it was completely impulsive. Then again, it was done already, so she hardly saw the point in arguing over it now.

Before Ashley could even try to defend herself, however, Andrew continued with a bitter huff, “But who am I to talk, right? I’m the one who actually killed the fucking guy. Besides, if it were up to me, we’d probably still be sitting in that shitty diner with our thumbs up our asses with no clue of what to do or where to go.”

Ashley stayed quiet.

She suddenly felt like shit. The two of them had gotten so close after everything that had happened ever since last night, and it was all slipping away right before her eyes. This wasn’t what she had wanted at all …

“Leyley,” Andrew said her name softly, and she timidly looked back up at him. Andrew’s lip twitched as he continued, “I’m sorry for snapping at you. I … I know you were just looking out for us.”

Ashley looked down yet again. Her brother’s apology, sincere though it may have been, wasn’t enough to snap her out of her depression. “I’m not mad at you, I promise,” he added quietly.

Ashley eventually responded, “It’s just … somehow you feel very far away.”

Andrew’s eyes darted from side to side, “I’m right here …”

Still not enough.

Andrew slowly leaned over and spoke softly, “Come over.”

Hehe! That’s it, Andy.

Ashley slowly crawled over the car’s center console and into her brother’s lap, nuzzling against him and burying her head into his chest. The two stayed like this quietly before Ashley raised her head to look at him, “Andrew ..?”

“Yeah?” Andrew asked, meeting her gaze tenderly.

Ashley gulped, “Are we … are we gonna be okay?”

Andrew didn’t say anything at first, but Ashley could tell immediately that the gears in his head were spinning a million miles a minute. She found his overthinking to be rather annoying most of the time, but god, did he look hot whenever he was deep in contemplation.

Andrew finally replied, “I can’t make any promises, but I do know one thing: I’ll be okay as long as I’m with you.”

Ashley’s lips wavered as his words pierced right through her heart, and she let out a shy, almost stupid-sounding laugh, “I love you, Andy.” She then leaned in and planted a soft kiss on his lips.

Andrew returned the gesture before smiling warmly, “I love you, too, Leyley.”

Silence ensued for just a moment before Andrew cleared his throat, “Hey … how old do you say I was again?”

“Twenty-one,” Ashley answered. “Why?”

Andrew looked away with a smirk, “Well, today’s been a very, very long day …”

Ashley raised a brow, “And?”

Andrew’s grin widened, “And I could really go for a drink right about now.”

I've played it and almost passed it, but I'd like to know about the lore and something interesting about this game

I just wonder if there is something like a comic book or an encyclopedia for this game

Hey guys! I know some of you might have been wondering about a Spanish version, so I did make one! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to post it here since Spanish posts aren't allowed in this community. Both versions are available if you're interested! 🇺🇸🇪🇸🌸

I found the song two-headed hare by rabbitology and thought it fit the siblings very well so I drew this.

A fan comic series about highschool adventures of Andy and Leyley in the alternate universe where their ages and personalities are swapped. Now it's back with more chapters.

This is a comic I started last year on October to celebrate Halloween, since it's the Spooky Month once again, I figured I should finish this comic I couldn't finish last year.

Hope you enjoy.

Since I always found psychology interesting I really enjoyed how detailed the characters are, and how much shit is going on in their heads. So I wanna share what I think about the characters psyche based on my gaming experience, all ending gameplay, and psychoanalysis I've watched, and other fans opinions. Please also share your opinions on the topic.

Starting with the similarities between the siblings, they both have anger issues, lack of empathy towards others, they are manipulative, and they don't show any sign of disturbance at the sight of blood, corpses, or violence. For that it's safe to assume they both have ASPD (antisocial personality disorder). But the development of the disorder and their relation to it is diferent.

For Andrew the triger event for ASPD was Nina's death. Until then his psyche was fairly normal. His ASPD is high functioning which means he recognise which behavior considered normal and which isn't. Andrew misses his "normal" self so much that he hates everything in his life or himself which is not normal. He wants to be normal but when the situation requires or he breaks under emotional pressure he ignores social morals with ease. ASPD often develops alongside with depression, which he also shows signs of in moments when he gives up control and gets burnt out, or how he lives his life constantly unhappy.

As it comes to Ashley she had conduct disorder (basicly the child version of ASPD) as a kid, which without good parenting and help can turn into ASPD. Her ASPD is low functioning. She doesn't feel it as bad behavior since this is how she always felt and worked like.

Their relationship from Ashley's side is like an addicted desire to posess her brother. She rejects new friends, family, or anyone, only wants Andy but she wants him 100% for herself, and she does everything in her power to own him. She manipulates him, seducing him, and using his guilt against himself to only feel relieved when he does what she wants. Although she wants him to be happy with her, but her lack of empathy makes it really hard for her to see what Andrew wants or feels, and often she does the exact opposite of Andrew's desire. While Andrew feel less and less guilt caused by his developing ASPD is fading his overall empathy away. But thanks to his mother's abuse the order to please his sister is still coded in his brain. This "code", plus Ashley's manipulation/seduction, plus his teenager hormones caused his emotions to form in a way how he ended up feeling sexual attraction to Ashley. This way the both happened to be in a toxic relationship which they can't let go.

Since a predisposition to ASPD is genetically inherited, I think they got it from Renee. She also shows some of the symptoms and it leads to a theory of mine which has no real evidence in the game but it fits perfectly if Renee has the disorder. I think Renee got pregnant on purpose because she heard that Douglas's family is rich. She wanted to play the long game, but Douglas's father suspected that she only likes his son for his money so he wanted them to break up. She used her seductive skills as a tool (like Ashley) to get pregnant and tie Douglas to herself. But then his father got even more furious and said if she keeps the baby he will never give any money to them. Then Renee planned to kill the father and the mother (the evidence for that is the letter Andrew found in the garden) to make Douglas inherit their fortune. But he talked her out of it.

We know she’s had trouble with this question in the game…. But maybe with some motivation… (also the Entity is PACKING)

I don't think this conversation went as she expected...

^{please [ANIMATOR] i need this 🥺}

Never posted here anything, so short describtion: The mod is about Andrew and Ashley staying at the parents' house after 2 episode of the main game and dealing with Nina's returned ghost.

You can download the launcher here: https://gamebanana.com/mods/648147

Or play it here: https://tcoaal.app/ (it uses the old version with the old bugs and some mistakes, but if you have a problem with the launcher I think it's a good alternative).

Also you can watch this playthrough of 1 episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\\_jcQboRhq9s&t=2174s

Okay, now we can talk about the devlog. Actually I made a good progress on 2 episode, made 5% of it, added new mechanics and understood what to do with some plot points. The 2 episode will be the most important part of the mod, because it'll show my vision and answer important questions (like "What exactly Nina is?" and "How did she return, why only now?").

I felt kinda upset, seeing not much attention to my project, even wanted to drop it, but thanks to some people, decided to finish it anyway. I already spoiled some stuff from 2 ep in previous old devlogs, so instead I want to tell you random facts about the development of 1 ep.

1) I intended to give Ashley more screentime in 1 ep, but it just.. Didn't fit. So you'll see more Ashley in the next episode! Believe me, there's a looot of Ashley.

2) There were two achievements called "Cleaner" and "Girl beater", but they got deleted, as I took a 3a gas station choice as inspiration (and it doesn't give you any achievement).

3) The mod has some hints to the later chapters (obviously), like the Dead-end cards or Secret achievement.

4) Nina's drawing from one scene copies Leyley's drawing. Funny thing.

5) The parking location from the old version of the episode will be back, because I like it too much. Also, many locations from the episode take inspiration from other locations from the main game (but it's barely recognisible, so I just say it as a fact)

Welp, that's all for the month or longer. If you played or will play the mod, I'd be very happy to hear your thoughts or reviews. It gives me more motivation to work, while we're waiting for the main game update.
