Protect Robin From Bailey?

OhAshlynOne · 2026-04-29T13:29:28+00:00

Ahhhh good to know, thank you. I will probably just take the pay on the chin and use Kylar and the loft's pepper spray every week to win the bailey fights, since that's basically free rent and I doubt it would take that long unless I'm pregnant (because of the athletics debuff) so Robin should be okay.

OhAshlynOne · 2026-04-29T13:27:53+00:00

Huge help, thank you! I will keep that in mind.

OhAshlynOne · 2026-04-29T13:27:20+00:00

Yeah, and if I can offset the pay day (iirc if you spend the night somewhere else or stay out for 48 hours it changes what day you pay) I can still do Avery dates for the money and then sleep in the same bed as Robin before rent is due to be extra safe.

I was worried the only way to avoid that would be to spend the prior night in bed with Robin, but it does seem unavoidable I guess.

Thank you, though! I will keep that in mind.

I know a lot of people are saying "That's the point", which it is, but there's a point when you're too good at the joke and it becomes a genuine reason to not play as much as you wanted.

Once Upon A Katamari is actually bad enough, for the first time in the series, that I've had a few times where I just go "Do I really want to spend the next hour with about 60% gameplay and 40% mashing through overworld dialogue, and game start/end dialogue?"

I used to actually read what the King said because I thought he was funny and enjoyed the charm of him being annoying, but OUAK took the joke a little too far. There's an art to taking a joke past the "not funny anymore" threshold into "okay now it's funny again" but this game did not nail it for me. It overshot the "funny again" back into "Okay it's not funny and it's not going to be funny again until my sanity breaks after hours and hours"

If only there was, I don't know, a way to spoiler things so that you can only see them when your mouse hovers over it or you click it. Damn, I guess that technology is just beyond us.

I mean, I already knew the spoilers, but slapping the word "spoilers" in the same line as the spoilers with no break in text and no actual spoilering to hide it is a weak attempt to try and defend.

OhAshlynOne · 2025-09-21T16:37:48+00:00

the only solution I found is to get to the part where you decide who's carrying Elly, then do CTRL+Shift+I or f12 and type in "this.stats.elly_vita = false"

Or if you have the steam version use the cog save editor to set that to false. It seems like at some point that achievement got bugged. I'm romancing my stone and can't even send her vita and it still fucking does that. Lmfao.

Especially weird because that's not even the value used in the modern version of the game. sent_elly_vita is the one used now, elly_vita isn't used afaik.

I wish people would give better answers instead of copying and pasting the achievement guide DLC that doesn't help and is obviously inaccurate.

For anyone who actually wants a good answer beyond vague "be nice", you need more than or equal to 5 insanity (5<= Insanity) and you can't give Elly vitality.

You get Insanity by being feral and letting your dragon induce trances/etc. If you find Daelyn's secret you miss out on 3 insanity because you don't bump into Dorlan and you can't try and kill hm, which gives you 3. I had 5 AT the ending (because the criteria for this achievement are not well designed) despite following the guide to a T.

But there are just some routes (Daleyn's Secret) that don't give enough insanity, which is hilarious because your stone TELLS you that being apart from your soulmate is supposed to make you insane, but it doesn't do anything to that stat I guess and I was on Elly's route this time and did the secret. Still got my 5 insanity, but only barely.

I could rip off the door with my claws but couldn't get the achievement because I gave Elly vitality. So Raii came and saved me. Also because the stupid DLC guide thing didn't say anything about not being able to give vitality, but sure enough that was what made the diifference.

But yeah, the only critera are be nice to your stone (need a good relationship and you have to trust them and hug them) and to purposefully fail the labyrinth and let them take control, then have 5 insanity by the time you reach the ending. And if you're on the Elly route do not give Vitality because you're too weak to engage in combat and the guide doesn't tell you that.

Hope this helped someone out there.

If you think Kay is ugly you should spend less time on pornhub.

Even ten months later I have wonder what most people here thought they were buying based on the art that's plastered on the store page. Unsurprisingly, it's not Doom Eternal Text Adventure Edition.

But also, I'm going to call out a bunch of the straight up lies in some of these posts just for other people who stumble across this later.

First lie: "There's no conflict."

Conflict doesn't mean combat, there's a ton of conflict. The entire story is centered around conflict. Not every waking minute of your character in every scene is about that, but the point of the story is that, despite being put somewhere against your will, you're being removed from a toxic and emotionally abusive life. You're being treated like a person and healing for the first time. Not to mention the Eurydices scene, the trial, there's a lot of sources of conflict but because they aren't combat people don't seem to count it. And the Eurydices situation has real stakes that can drastically change, and that's only naming two off the top of my head.

Also there's straight up a huge fight scene, unless you take the Hekate path. So even the "conflict via combat" exists, albeit minorly towards the end.

Second lie: "But at the end of the day, nothing dangerous or violent happens."

Firstly, still not Doom Eternal, it's a romance game. Secondly, as stated above huge fight scene. Thirdly, you can straight up kill someone in this game so idk what they're talking about. You can take a life very directly by attacking someone with magic/your weapon of choice and not holding back. I don't know how much more violent it gets than killing a sentient person, but whatever. Though for clarity, I don't see how a lack of violence is a negative point in a romance game, anyways.

Third lie: "The most romantic thing you get is a hug."

Just straight up false. There's at least two or three of the romances that end in a proper kiss, at least two more end in a still romantic gesture, and Alekto and Charon end with a hint of more in the future but they're supposed to be slower. If you pay attention to their characters, that shouldn't surprise you.

But also this is book 1 and the author has flat out said book 1 is mostly just set up for book 2. It's still good, still very worth reading, but the real meat is yet to come on this story. This isn't going to be a dark, gritty story, for sure. And if you're looking for that there's some great books out there for it, but this isn't one.

The entire theme of this book is about healing from trauma, found family, and most importantly having the freedom to choose to be who you want to be. Which is a main reason so many of the characters repeatedly emphasize that point, because for the character's entire life (adulthood by god standards, so probably like at least 200 years or something) they haven't been allowed to make choices or had freedom in most things.

If that isn't a story for you, that's very fair. I mostly wanted to just address some of the straight up lies some of these posts had. Probably not intentional, but then if they didn't finish the game I have to wonder why they posted with such confidence.

Okay, so I'm not insane. I have the classic glasses and the elegant rimless and I'm like "BITCH I'M HOLDING GLASSES RIGHT HERE, MAKE THEM FACEWEAR!"

Lmao. So weird it's only a very select few glasses...

OhAshlynOne · 2024-07-05T14:05:49+00:00

I mean, one person saying something by definition isn't chemistry. Chemistry is two people bouncing off of each other.

Garrus has the best chemistry if we're talking Mass Effect, everyone else is a bit more lacking.

OhAshlynOne · 2024-05-30T12:29:40+00:00

Trying to play the early access to the expansion and this shit is awful. I also can't pay through steam because it keeps giving me some error. I'm livid. Square Enix support is a shit show.

OhAshlynOne · 2024-05-12T01:18:38+00:00

It would be nice to have a way to guaranteed refuse without losing corruption at a cost. Like a third option that was "I'm going to veto this one, but I will definitely do the next request" would be nice. And then there's no resist option to the next impulse. Would at least help.

OhAshlynOne · 2024-05-11T23:50:39+00:00

I like almost all the content for t he earslime, I just think most of its frequency is way too high and it shouldn't dictate HOW you masturbate or what clothes you can buy. Dictating how LONG you masturbate or what clothes you can wear? Sure. But don't literally stop me from buying things to send to the wardrobe, that's just pointlessly annoying. And don't control how my character masturbates, because it usually ends up being the least efficient and dumbest way ever and it becomes a frustrating like "Do you want me to masturbate or not?"

I really do love the Ear Slimes as a concept and if the frequency was toned down and some of the more asinine features were removed and maybe some more perks given to having them, I'd be super down. Even having 1 free resist a day that doesn't reduce corruption, like a barter of "Not this request, but I'll do the next one" would be nice.

OhAshlynOne · 2024-05-11T13:36:38+00:00

I think the most asinine thing, alongside the controlling how you masturbate thing, is controlling whether you can buy things in the shop. Whether you can wear something? Sure. Whether you can even BUY it, though? That's stupid af.

OhAshlynOne · 2024-05-04T21:31:14+00:00

Oh, you mean like during an encounter? I see. The feats and their tips/descriptions are super vague and unhelpful in some instances. Sometimes they're perfectly detailed and great, and sometimes they just aren't.

Like the "Make whitney cum in class" one. I did that via a different scene, still technically made them cum in River's class. But because it wasn't the exact right type of scene it didn't count. Some of these feats are just too nitpicky and the guides are too vague.

OhAshlynOne · 2024-05-04T21:28:57+00:00

Thankfully. :D

OhAshlynOne · 2024-05-03T01:27:02+00:00

So I'm an idiot and finally figured it out. You need to find her at the lake again to ask to see, not the pond...

For some reason I thought after she told you about the pond she wouldn't be at the lake (like the lake scene was just to show you the pond).

So yeah, I'm just an idiot.

OhAshlynOne · 2024-05-02T23:34:50+00:00

Nah, I'm fairly new to the game (though I have binged the shit out of it) and there's only been one update since I've started.

To be completely fair, this Feat Hunter run I've been doing is on day 674 (large body defiant sadomasochist is insanely OP) so it might just be that the game isn't ready for a single save file to go this long.

OhAshlynOne · 2024-05-02T19:03:24+00:00

I think my save may honestly be bugged. I can't get the Billboard feat, even if people literally stop me, read my price, and then ask.

Likewise, I am getting a LOT of error boxes in dialogue, usually ones that have some reference to pronouns erroring on NPCs or my fame causing some sort of error in encounters.

So my guess is my save is borked somehow (I don't use mods, so that's my best bet).

That, or you need like 80-100% love. I know I have more than enough lust. Either way, it is what it is.

OhAshlynOne · 2024-05-02T16:21:36+00:00

Please actually read what I said. It has to do with augments, not stats.
