this adds an option to skip the collapse intro and tutorial dialogues if you've seen it before!
i am too stubborn to answer lore questions outright nina, forgive me 🤭 but the portrayal of humans within memories so far may answer this question in an indirect way
Yeah, I was afraid this would step into lore territory :’/ But I think I already got my answer, now that I think about it-
Aye, games with heavy environmental worldbuilding and implied lore that the game encourages you to seek out and form the connections are always very enticing to me. The intriguing unanswered questions of just what was going on from the first moments of the game was the hook that never let go, hah.
thank you!! yes! i have borne the curse of front-end development for like 4-5 years now, makin weird websites for artists and stuff - just applying that to this little world now too
ok neocities is being rly slow so if you run into slow loading, export your save and load it in here: https://b.corru.observer/ - it's the same just heavily cached by cloudflare
EP2ADD1::"████'s structuring device presents unexpected outside interference." - this adds an optional hard mode area in the collapse memory, it appears in the research chamber only if you have ever started the EP2 boss before (does not have to be in the same iteration). beware: it was designed with items in mind and may be especially difficult without them
for those who want more exploration than little RPG fights, i will soon begin EP2ADD2 - which will give a break from the embassy in the form of additions to other pages. we have been spending a lot of time in the embassy, and there is still more to do there, but i want to ensure there is still plenty of cool stuff to find elsewhere!
additionally - the soundtrack to EP2 so far is now available for listening on soundcloud, and you can get it on bandcamp too!! https://soundcloud.com/corruworks/sets/corruobserver-vol-2 / https://corruworks.bandcamp.com/album/ost-corru-observer-vol-2
(P.S. - i think i'm pretty close to figuring out what causes the proxy to run slow on some machines... if you run into a slow proxy situation and you've been in the same embassy instance for a while, save, refresh, load again - that may help)
(slight correction - the entrance appears in the research chamber if you meet the criteria, AND after you've visited movefriend at least once in your current iteration)
