Friday Update - February 26th, 2021
Hello, hello, hello my true believers!
Hopefully by now everyone has played through Chapter One (point one) of Mythos. If you haven't, you may wanna stop reading here -- every Friday Update from this point forward is going to be discussing Chapter Two.
Wow, it feels good to finally change to that tag.
So for starters, let's address that header image. With the obvious exception of some changed text, that's the first render I've done for Chapter Two... So I started working on it a day early, technically -- I just wanted to have it for today's update. It looks like the ruckus at the end of Chapter One has attracted the authorities, as well as... the long-awaited (?) in-game first appearance of Jessica Lee! You didn't think I just made a character just to do goofy interviews with fictitious people, did you?
Speaking of those interview, they are going to resume! Again, these interviews will be given with the assumption that you've finished Chapter One. If you haven't... you shouldn't even be reading this part! Don't you follow directions?
It may have felt like Chapter One was a little linear -- and rightfully so. You go through the same scenes no matter what choices you pick, but those choices do matter. After all, you made a deal with a Fae. You may or may not have thoroughly investigated Lisa's apartment. And, most importantly, you could have turned down the chance to pet a cat! These are true milestones.
Chapter Two is where things start to branch out; we've established the characters and the mystery at hand. Hell, some of you are already starting to brew theories about who the killer is! As such, you're given more leeway in where you go and who you talk to from here on. It's not going to be open world, don't worry about that! But scenes and characters could appear in a different order depending on how you go about things -- which can also change what information you gather.
Achievements will be added, as well -- surely you had no problem getting the Chapter One achievements, right? Heh heh heh...
For those of you who are new to Mythos and haven't read back through past updates: welcome! Even though much of the past updates were done to hype up the game before the release, the character interviews actually have some special knowledge bits hidden in them, if you know how to look. You don't have to indulge in the "meta" aspects of the game if you don't want to, but I like to keep the mystery going through media other than the game itself. Hell, there's even a hint in this post!
There's no actual progress to report on Chapter Two, as you're looking at 100% of what I've done so far: A single render! I had to take off a week to see the reception to the game, as well as catch up on playing other games. I play these things too, ya know!
I'm glad you're all here and interested in the world I've created... it only gets crazier from here.
Keep the Legends Alive!
