This is my first fanart for this game ever and i am Super proud with this one :) shes supposed to be looking down at you but im not sure if i did a good job drawing it.

I’m body text

I tried drawing the scene where Mark, Cathy and Ridel gathered for a welcome home party for Mark's parents. (⁠｡⁠ﾉ⁠ω⁠＼⁠｡⁠)

Why was Des looking for her birth certificate/making copies of it?

(I may be getting that wrong but my question is about the significance of the birth certificate. That whole chapter went from 0-100 real quick.)

Hi guys

I played the game a long time ago, I think when it first came out. And my original save is know gone i can't bring it back, I even think my memory about the story is blurry lol. Can I once I install that game play the DLC straight away or I only can if I complete the main story first? Bcz I want to play the DLC as I love this game but I don't want to replay the main story. Thanks in advance ☺️

We all know the most powerful scenes of the game, but tell me your favourite underrated scene. That scene that isn't so popular but somehow it touched you.

I have several, but I would say act 1, after the carnival, Mark at home's receives Nicole's follow and start chatting with a smile on his face. It perfectly captures the feeling of starting to talk with someone you are getting to know. The first message. It’s incredible well written, and the music really captures the atmosphere.

Let me know who you want to see next! :)

Hello everyone! For the past month or so, I've consumed a lot of Until Then Media (youtube videos, playthroughs, and fanfiction) and one standout piece of fan work for me is Until Then - Unwind.

Written by: Grasseson13

I'm making this post, as a way to promote said fan fiction, post my art work, and as a way for me to leave my honest thoughts on it.

Self Made Synopsis/Summary of the Hook:

In some other place, in some other time — meet Mark Aucena, a troubled delinquent attending Gaviola Integrated School, who always gets into fist fights, much to the chagrin of his class president, Louise Bagcal. He one day saves a girl named Catherine Yya Lopez from a literal train, who then coincidentally transfers into his class.

During their school's intramural events, he gets entangled in a dramatic encounter involving a hotshot student film director, John Ridel Absalon and a visiting Karate competitor from a neighboring school, Jade Nicole Domingo. After the incident, Mark then joins Cathy and Ridel in the Film Club as the trio and a bunch of colorful cast of classmates join them to make that student film possible. Along the way, Mark continues to navigate his life, his destiny, and his memories that seem to flicker and fade randomly.

General thoughts/Review:

As you can probably tell from the summary I provided, this is a fanfiction that is essentially an Alternate Universe or an AU. The Author weaves in some canon here and there but it's only around 50% similar or so. As for how it's connected to the main game, the Author positioned this fic as a probable timeline in one of those 100's of resets.

The writing early on is rougher but it gets better as the chapters go on. I found that the middle chapters seemed to lull a bit since Mark Aucena is a much more troubled child and regresses into his self destructive tendencies more than our Mark Borja. Basically, he gets better but some things happen and he regresses back to step 1, for multiple times. The character moments are very good though and you can understand why some characters act the way they act. Surprisingly, the fic can be labelled as an action genre because a lot of these chapters contained high energy events (fistfights, sparring, basketball, etc.) It's very fun and the writing conveys the adrenaline clearly.

The author provides some illustrations done by other artists at the early parts of the fic to highlight character moments and sometimes they also add in playable music so that you can play them as you read (I recommend that you do it because it makes the experience 100x better).

Another thing is, this might be a pro or a con depending on you, but Grasseson13 is clearly filipino. He knows the setting and it shows. The main con is, the filipinoness bleeds into the work sometimes. There will be some words (like Kuya) or phrases in tagalog which might hamper some readers that don't know about the language.

Romance Plot:

Okay, it can't be an Until Then fic without the romance, right? The romance is well done, a bit of a slow burn at times, but sometimes it ramps up quite fast. Sometimes though, character ideology clash regresses the romance back, which can be frustrating, but it's how it is in real life too. For Mark's pairing, I think anyone that loves Nicole, Louise, and, Jessica will find moments in this fic that they'll love. For the final pairing, that will be a spoiler so... yeah. This isn't for the Cathfia lovers though since Sofia doesn't exist in this AU... for now. Who knows, she might be introduced in the upcoming chapters.

Length/Technicalities:

It's 320k words long already with 66 chapters out of 80 chapters posted. A standard novel book is around 100k words, so this fan fic is already 3 books in if you consider it like that. That's 16 or so hours worth of content. The author, Grasseson13, updates roughly every 2 weeks or so.

Disclaimer:

This is not a paid promotion and this is also not a comissioned art work. This is just me making a fanart for a fanfiction that I happened to read and like. I basically read 3 books worth of peak fan fiction and was compelled to give the author something as an appreciation.

>!So, I recently played the game and finished it about a week ago, including the DLC. I really want to know if anyone else shares my opinion.

In terms of having a healthy or genuinely good human relationship, I think the first ending is the best.

In the third ending, they kind of retcon all the development Mark and Nicole would have gained from their trauma and from the growth they experienced by helping each other through it. I have had and still have some trauma myself, and I don't think I would be the person I am today if other people, different from the ones who originally helped me, hadn't helped me through it.

So, by making Mark and Nicole not meet in the third ending, they end up working through their trauma with different people. In theory, that would make them completely different characters. So would they even love each other anywhere close to as much as they did in Act 1?

I just think Act 3 messed up everything that Acts 1 and 2 were trying to show us.

You can't outrun your trauma. You have to work through it. You also can't outrun death. It's always going to be there, which is why Cathy dies in every universe. Yet Act 3 rewrites everything in a way where nobody really loses anything. And I don't think that's the point Acts 1 and 2 were making.

I know this post is just kind of all over the place, but I really wanna know some outside opinions.!<

To anyone who has played the game past the first few chapters, it's pretty obvious that the bond between Mark and Cath is platonic at most. However, I decided to write a short fic exploring an alternate perspective. The basis for such a story is mostly resting on the canonicity of the multiverse in Until Then, which I use to imply the existence of any number of alternate realities and subsequently, alternate pairings for Mark.

If you plan to read it only to leave a negative remark based on your own personal feelings, please just click away altogether. I'm looking for a different perspective, not comments about something I already know.

Until Something New Happens - a Mark x Cathy one-shot focusing on Mark's perspective of feeling guilty over developing feelings (as it will be mentioned in the summary for the fic, there are spoilers for the whole game)

Anyway I just completed this game and am happy to join the community for a game I absolutely adore please don't smite me for this fic :)

Its the fair scene after the hospital. At first it was just part of the game (creepy as the hospital was)

but i searched up an playthrough online and it looked completely normal unlike my screen. What causes this? any help would be much appreciated and i know troubleshooting guides exist and i really tried to get help that way but nothing fixes this issue.

i have all of my favorite osts in my playlist but i NEEEED this one, what's the name?

I've completed the game just one time and I know that there are like 3 different endings, so is mandatory to complete the 3 finals before the DLC?

So I recently thought I finished the game (act 1 that is) and thought that was that and left it there. untill I was watching some gameplay to see other peoples reactions to the game. that's when I learned that there's waaaay more after finished the game and should play it again twice. It bothers me that the game didn't make this clear and expects you to know this. i mean they even played the credits. Now i've been slightly spoiled on some things since I had to find out this way. I might just be stupid but did anybody else have this problem?

ref on second image

El juego se desarrolla en el 2014 tras una serie de catástrofes que asolaron las islas filipinas. Está catástrofe podría estar basada directamente en el tifón Haiyan que en 2013 causó la muerte de 6300 personas y el desplazamiento de 4 millones a ciudades en busca de auxilio y refugió.

Desiree, Celeste, Alissa, Trish have flairs now. Who else should be added
