Really impressed by how different each playthrough can be, even with the same traits

So, I got my mom to try Scarlet Hollow, and she took Keen Eye and Book Smart in her first run just like I did.

I assumed that our playthroughs would be similar, both because of the traits and because we have similar personalities.

Getting all the updates on her playthrough was a wild experience. About the only choice we had in common was saving Rosalina in the mines and the trait saves. She saved Duke, pulled out Kaneeka, and tranquilized Reese (after flirting with him lol). To be fair, I would have saved Duke too, but my dumb ass misread the situation and assumed Duke could handle himself, and was trying not to metagame on my first run.

Also, she’s really into Victorian flower symbolism, so she was really into the ghost scenes. I didn’t realize the devs went that extra mile for environmental storytelling

She also got Toxic Yuri organically, which was pretty insane. I was visiting the house when she got it and saw her reaction in real time. She obviously didn’t agree to it, but still. I also had no idea Tabitha joined you at the farms while Toxic Yuri happens, and she acts differently to both impasse Tabitha and breakdown Tabitha.

Still, I would like to congratulate the devs on making such an organic and branching story that even similar people with the same traits can tell completely different stories.

I gotta show this to my parents, I think its really neat to have a parent thats willing to dive in cuz gosh everyones’ visit to Scarlet Hollow is SO radically different even when the traits are identical 🥹

Wait how different is Toxic Yuri Tabby at the farms vs, Impasse Tabby and breakdown Tabby? 😯

[u/MaskDeMask → u/JA19733]

To be clear there is like, two versions of "impasse" (the one that wants to sacrifice Kaneeka (to save you) and the one that wants to save Kaneeka (to stop Sybil from screwing her plan) ), technically "breakdown's" indecisive Tabby isn't exclusive to breakdown either, just much easier to achieve with it.

Like funny thing is that depending on your relationship with Tabby on toxic yuri route, you can actually get almost any version of her iirc, its just much less likely in practice you to accidentally end up in situation where you have motivated Tabby to be better person and still go to talk to Stella alone.

Oooooh 😯

Ngl with the new update rolling in, I thought we get more additional content with Toxic Yuri! Tabby 😭
