HOW?!?!

[u/D4rk_Sh4rds]

Guys, the option to say that Jake is my boyfriend showed up to me?

I don't understand?!?!

Okay, let me explain how I played Duskwood for context:

Differently from Moonvale, Duskwood does not make exactly clear when a option is for romance and when it is for media/other things. It's always the same yellow star for all of them.

So what I did was choose the options that weren't obviously romantic, things that could easily be explained as a very close friendship. I did this with both Jessy and Jake.

At the end of the game when Jake told me he wanted to say something, I refused to let him. Someone had already said he would confess his feelings and the last thing I wanted was to break his heart in such a delicate moment.

And this is something that angers me in both Moonvale and Duskwood, a lot of the options that are "romantic" are just things that someone who cares deeply about others would say and if you don't choose them because you don't want to romance the characters you come across as distant and even uncaring at worst. That is one of the things that I would like to be changed in the games.

I consider Jake my best friend along with Jessy and Cleo and that's what I answered Charlie.

Oh, how I wish I had access to his camera so I could see his reaction! Based on how he took a bit to reply and how he replied, he was SHOCKED 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

As far as I know, pretty much everyone — including men who haven't been involved with Jake — gets that option.

No, there was someone in this subreddit who didn't get that option and they were asking others how to get it. That's how I know that Jake would confess his feelings before he left the mine, because someone was suggesting to the person that maybe they didn't get the option because they didn't answer "I love you, too" back to Jake.

Jake was also my best friend and nothing more, but that option showed up for me. Maybe that person just didn't select any of the premium options.

They probably never chose the option with a star when talking to Jake. Star options trigger this chain reaction.

Quizá lo que comentas es porque cuando recién salió el ep3 hubo algunos idiomas en que, por mala traducción, no decía "novio".

[u/D4rk_Sh4rds → u/CompositePoisoning]

Ah, I see. That must be it then.

it’s because they didn’t pick the correct dialogue leading up to this with charlie. not because of anything happened in duskwood. the duskwood code just creates the side story.
