Sneak peek 👀
🕑 Added 2025-01-29 20:20:01 +0000 UTCI started writing some of those random encounter scenes that will come up at certain points in the story. At the moment, I have 10 scenes planned all in all, but there will only be 3 points in the story where one will be triggered, so you definitely won't be able to see all of them in one single playthrough (unless you cheat and reload the scene several times lol).
Here is a snippet from one such scene in the screenshot, which I took because there will be a picture included here, although I think I'm going to make it smaller because I don't very much like that it takes up this much space. This one is from a priest MC's POV.
Here is the inscription for those who need it:
Your group passes by a strange tree.
In general, there would be nothing strange about passing by a tree. In this case, however, this specific apple tree has gotten the attention of Tabiry, who went ahead to scout a while ago, and now she is waiting for all of you under this specific tree.
When you finally pass by a bend in the road and see her, you find her staring at the bark of the tree for some reason.
Narmer and Ebo, who are the first to reach her, also stop and start staring at the same spot.
"Huh. That's really weird," Ebo comments as a mumble under his breath.
"I have never seen writing like this," Tabiry muses aloud as well.
"I don't recognize these letters at all," Narmer says with a confused wrinkle of his forehead.
"What are they looking at?" Hudjefa squints his eyes at them from next to you.
You are standing a bit further away, using the brief break to get rid of some stubborn piles of sand in your sandals that got mixed with your sweat and are now making a disgusting goop that keeps sticking to your skin.
"Hm, I dunno…" you mutter while you poke your shoes with a stick.
Fueled by newfound curiosity towards the strange tree, the others also gather around it. You also decide you can't stay out of the party so you squeeze in between Ebo and Kajet, and stare in amazement at the tree trunk.
In the rough bark of the apple tree, there are a few signs in a language you don't recognize, with letters that aren't even remotely familiar to you.
They look like this:

I had a good chuckle at that, loving random encounters with such references!
