Early Access 0.1634.0: Second Copycat Storyline Ending
🕑 Added 2025-06-17 22:41:31 +0000 UTCHiya, cakes!
It's a little later than I was shooting for, but here's the next update which includes the CG for the first ending of Copycat, as well as the promised second ending!
To reach the new ending you'll need to make a new choice that I've inserted into the weekend scenes, and then stay with Akiko in the later scene. So if you've played the Copycat story before, replay those earlier scenes and choose... well, you'll know when you see it. I trust you :)
Now, to indulge my self-critical self a little, I'm gonna say I don't like this second ending very much. The conclusion here was the end point I envisaged way back when I first started writing Copycat, but when it came down to it the divergent story path became a lot more inspiring to me, which is why I ended up writing it first! In comparison, I just didn't feel this story path anywhere near as much, and I had a rather torturous time writing my way to the end. I hope you folks enjoy it nonetheless and of course I appreciate any feedback on how it's turned out but... yeah, the first ending is way better :p
Oh and before I forget, I also reworked a scene in the Redemption storyline, along the path where Kyou reverts back to villainy and has Akiko in his room just before the epilogue. I went back there because I wanted to write in some of the character revelations that were made during Copycat, but I felt motivated enough to spend a bit more time fleshing out that one scene. I'd always wanted to revisit it at some point because while the Devoted version of the scene was fine, the Robot version was undercooked in comparison. I've updated both, but the Robot version of the scene is now much more developed and of a comparable length to the Devoted version.
That's all for now! For the rest of the month I'll be thinking about the next unwritten story path to develop while also seeing about getting some more art commissioned for Copycat. There'll be another release for the end of June, but depending on how things go it might just be one or two new CGs and some minor tweaks to the script. We'll see what happens~
