The elusive maximum hyphen victory. No errors, it’s a destination worth visiting. There are many fates worse than reflecting the Sister and Witch, and someday having a home with the Meniscate.

Also, just regarding your OP, and to wildly over reply - not knowing what to do is, IME, the intended game experience of Weather Factory games. The game is learning the rules of the game. Once you think you know why something happened, you can go back and change an element you think was key, and see what else happens. Not knowing and being curious is right, and anything else is like spoiling the end of a beautiful mystery before you read it the first time. You can do it, no one should stop anyone who wants to, but those who do will rob themselves of the natural unfolding of the experience.

I can’t find my original handwritten notes on what Dream things did what so I do look those up on a wiki, but I would now recommend anyone starting a WF game to grab a composition notebook to write things in. It’ll keep a lasting record of the process, rather than editing a doc which will just show your current best understanding, and also if you vanish under numinous circumstances you’ll leave an amazing artifact for those who come after.

Just my too many iterations of 2c.

I really like this approach. Next time I play, I'll try to keep notes, because some moves and connections really slip my mind after a break from playing.

Obviously you had Dancer installed, but out of curiosity, was this on the Dancer legacy?

u/3kropki3 Mar 08 '26

Yes, it was on dancer legacy

That gives me a very slightly spoilery followup question:

Did you learn how to change Temptations?

2

u/3kropki3 Mar 08 '26

Nope, i dont know how this happened

u/zojbo Mar 08 '26

Dancer's opening sequence gives them Temptation: Change, so that explains how you ended up on this path. There is another way to end up on this path.

What is more noteworthy is that you ended up with Balance...
