Is it possible to meet certain new characters in the Season of Yule?

I've got 2 days left and am trying to get the missing piece of the murder theory, but I think I need to find Barqujin and no one seems to be able to point me to the Warrens of Amber. Have I missed my opportunity?

Possible Actual Romances?

7 Upvotes

Apologies if this has been asked before, by "actual romances" I mean ones where the character actually accepts your advances/you can end up with them on the day of the festival. I've romanced Griz and Archie so far, which I feel are the most 'obvious' choices. It looks like Rachel and Mr. Pages and Harjit are options too. I'm going to try Horitia next, but I know it's likely she can never leave the house.

I wonder if solving David's murder has anything to do with the possible romantic outcomes for certain characters, (especially Phoebe, if you get Milton to testify in court, if you don't save Archie, or save him in a different way, or if you can romance her at all).

I originally wanted to do a run for each character (assuming they could all be romanced), but I just wanna know who's actually able to end up with the player so I don't waste my time. Thank you!

What does the "want to be like this person" mechanic do exactly, give you more dialogue options? and can you have more than one at once?

I couldn't tell if Griz's hair was a hat or not, so it became like this Spoiler

I heared that the game had problems at launch, does it still have trouble now? I like the universe but only played a bit of Sunless skies, and while i have Sunless sea i still gotta get around playing it, is it worth it now that it's a bit on sale on amazon?

Why is this game not popular at all in the visual novel community?

12 Upvotes

I was looking through visual novel database, and I was kind of surprised at the lack of reviews on this game.

Is this because most of the players who played this game are not interested in the other VN's or is Mask of the Rose just this niche?

Guide to stories?

7 Upvotes

I’m struggling a bit with story crafting/using the stories. Is there a guide anywhere?

I’m going to have to play twice for sure, I feel super overwhelmed and like I’m making all wrong decisions across the board . 🙃

Do Circumstances... do anything?

7 Upvotes

I've played through the game maybe half a dozen times and not once found a usage for Circumstances you obtain (the ones like "at the Bazaar" or "on the Surface".) All the different storycrafting minigames I've seen have the Circumstances slot locked.

Looking at some of the old FBG posts on storycrafting, they all have a "where?" slot that would accept that sort of thing. Then again, many other changes have been made to that version of the mechanic. So... do they do something in a minigame I've missed? Or are they just a remnant of more ambitious iteration of storycrafting?

Relationship building is very strange in this game

15 Upvotes

I find it really strange and kinda jarring that after every conversation with someone you have to assess your relationship with them. Can't relationships just be built by the things you say and wear, rather than this contemplative assessment one does after every interaction?

Reunion Ending Spoiler

7 Upvotes

Hello guys, i wanted to ask if anyone was able to get the reunion ending, and if yes, how did you got and what are you thoughts about it? I'm currently on my third playthrough seeing if i can manage to get it, but don't know if i will be able. (Also, sorry for possible writing mistakes, english isn't my first language)

Stories mechanic on the switch

Post image
7 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm wondering if a problem I'm having is due to me not getting the mechanic or if it's something to do with the switch version.

If I craft a story and get told that the story is ready to hand in (like above), I can't show it to Archie, and I can't show anyone else stories I've crafted. When I go to the boarding house I can only deepen my connection with Archie :( What am I doing wrong?

Is it possible to have an ending with Mr. Pages?

I thought I was romancing my lovely space bat yet I didn’t get him as an option at the end of the game 🤷‍♂️

Questions I haven't quite found the answers to Spoiler

6 Upvotes

So, after a few playthroughs, I still have a couple of unanswered mysteries, and I thought this could be a decent venue for folks to share any similar questions of their own and see if anyone else has any ideas! I'll get us started.

  1. Who was Archie's friend who helped publish his exposés? Someone who he could meet in Parabola, and who was receptive to screeds against the Masters... was it May, who talked about seeing Archie in his wanderings?
  2. Is it possible to get multiple endings in a single playthrough? For instance, I tried to meet the requirements for both 'Reunion' and 'Ascension' at once, but only 'Ascension' played out. I wonder if there's any possibility that I missed something, and that it's possible to reveal both the true murderer and the fate of Lucian.

How do you make up stories to question witnesses?

3 Upvotes

I believe I have the general idea from Archie and Harjit's instructions, but I've tried a few combinations of unknown person, unknown motive, and it doesn't give me any notification or open up any new options on the map.

How to find the rubbery caverns?

4 Upvotes

Okay, so I know the cavern with the Rubbery Man in it exists but cannot for the life of me work out how to unlock the locations- it isn’t on the list of places I can ask Harjit for directions to and I’m legitimately stuck at this point. Could someone tell me how to unlock the location please?

Griz and Pages

11 Upvotes

Does anyone know how to start a romance between the two? I accidentally managed on my first playthrough, but all I remember is that I supported their connection in an early dialogue with Griz, and then some time later - but before Archie's arrest - she told me some spicy details and from then on they were in a relationship for the rest of the game. It also led to an interesting dialogue option with Pages that I'd like to explore...but try as I might, I couldn't match them in any later playthroughs. Does anyone have any clues?

How do I matchmake, and who can be matchmade?

10 Upvotes

Besides my own romance I was really looking forward to matchmaking characters, but I'm honestly having a hard time figuring out HOW to do it and who it can be done with. Has anyone managed to matchmake any couples, and can you give me any pointers?

I really want to matchmake David and Phoebe, Horatia and Theo, and Griz and Moss. Are these couples possible?

Is it impossible to get happy ending with David?

7 Upvotes

I'm trying out as many endings as possible, and this time I hit all the romance story beats with David and indicated that I see a future for us at the festival. In the epilogue it just said that I occasionally see David on the street, which was confusing since there wasn't any breakup type dialogue. Wondering if I did something wrong, or if there's a game issue, or if I just don't get it!
