As Cold As The Grave
Three times. As the heir to the throne, you have to visit the ruler of the Fae three times.
Unfortunately for you, you have to meet with the Queen of the Unseelie Fae.
No one has had to deal with her before.

I made multiple saves in order to try achieving multiple endings, got the reunion ending on my first try, and wound up fully uninterested in getting any of the others besides devotion; Ais is too sweet for me to intentionally antagonize her.
It's really sad that, after a first visit of you simply existing near her without causing either of you problems, she proceeds to actively make plans for an outing she thinks would be safe and enjoyable for both of you, protect you if you slip up on self-preservation that should be rather basic, give you advice and even speak to you cordially... and yet, she still considers you the one who offered her unprompted kindness. I also find it really interesting how measuredly she picks her words, and how that translates into discomfort and even fear when caught off-guard; it's criminal how few stories featuring fae delve into the lack of autonomy, privacy, safety and trust that being unable to lie would cause.
I really loved this and played to get the two good endings. I saw some comments saying that the dagger gets brought automatically but I followed the advice of one comment to not look at the dagger on the second year and successfully made it to the good endings. Despite it being short, I really loved it!
PEOPLE IF YOU CLICK ON THY DAGGER IN THE SECOND YEAR AND LIKE THINK ABOUT IT INSTEAD OF JUST CONTINUING, YOU SHANT NOT GET THE GOOD ENDING!
I was really enjoying this but was super bummed to run into the I guess bug where I did not bring the dagger the first OR the second time and then it was automatically there on the third. Seems like there's no way to get a good ending with that automatically happening
Great game! Wish you the best in your future endeavors!
im having the same issue as previous commenters, never bringing the knife but still having it on me on the third visit. Other than that the game was really interesting!
This was a really great game! (Unseelie fae queens are for smooching~) though, something weird happened to me- I only bought the dagger with me once, though on the third time I was forced to?
something weird happened to me
i did NOT bring the dagger the first OR second time but was forced to bring the dagger the third time. whats up with that?
It was real good boss~!
Queens are for smoochin'
I'm glad! Thank you for playing :D And heck yeah they are
Nice game, I enjoyed it. Just two things: (potential spoilers)
Idk if I missed something, but it seems that if you bring the dagger the second time you automatically also bring it the third time
Also there's a prompt that says "but you'd be the first to admit that..." and I think you meant last
Thank you!
Bringing the dagger the second time does automatically bring it the third time! It's meant to reflect that by now, you're bringing it out of habit and you're not really thinking about the consequences.
The usage of first to admit rather than last to admit is intentional, just as holding her closer to you is intentional ;D
But thank you for taking the time to bring them up!
Wow this really is my favourite twine I've ever read. Thanks for this taste!
Wow that's a big compliment, thank you! The full version should be out in a day or two, so look out for that!
