Totally Unrelated To The Height Thing But What Do You Say The AD Cast Wear?

Totally unrelated to the height thing ☺️ but what do you say the AD cast wear? 🤔

What an interesting question! I won't give you detailed descriptions, but rather some general ideas about their outfits and style.

MC: He's wearing what he threw on the first night—basically, a hoodie and jeans! Of course, it's hot during the day, so he’s wearing them over his pajamas, meaning you can picture him in reverse—a plain t-shirt and jeans during the day, and a hoodie at night when he wants to feel cozier.

Michael: I imagine him in a semi-sporty look ☺ he also has a baseball cap!

Rain: Casual gamer style, but since they were at a party, think something more like... streetwear-trendy vibes.

Abigail: She's in maternity clothes at first, but she switches to comfier stuff after the baby's born (clothes that Michael gets her from her home). She's very casual—100% comfort over fashion.

Divya: super-duper nerdy vibes, she's probably rocking a snarky t-shirt or something like that.

Max: clothes similar to Divya, but way more subtle. Think of a plain shirt with a tiny symbol on it of something you've never heard of—that’s them.

Part 3.5.1 is now free to read for everyone!

Any news on the character list in the in between? I'm taking notes for myself but it would be nice to have it in game, like in the menu or something

Good news for you! The character list is almost finished, and in fact, it will be accessible from the stats menu starting from the Chapter 10 update ☺

(Entries will be unlocked as you encounter each character, so don't worry if you can't see all of them at once!)

On a scale of 1 to 10 how realistic is After Dark going to be? Like personal hygiene, their smell (☠️), monthly cycles, other illnesses/sickness that characters could get?

This is a very specific question, and I've been thinking about it too without a clear answer. When does one go too far?

There are the issue of sunburn, the starting malus, and problems from not having enough pills or cigarettes. At one point, they even joke about their smell, and Abby mentions the diaper situation (if the baby is alive).

I can't really go further than that, though. Still, we can assume they take care of their needs wherever they are (preferably without others watching), and the pills they find include things that can help when they’re not feeling well.

I'm gonna getcha! Let me eat your tears, child! 👹

Thanks for the compliment! You have no idea how happy I am that you're enjoying it ♥

Yes, hunger and thirst deaths will be implemented in the game, but for now, I'm treating them as potential issues just in case, lol.

So, if you don't drink and your thirst is maxed out, it's normal for MC to die. However, there's a bug with Dashingdon where, when you save and reload, sometimes your hunger and thirst levels stay the same as they were before you loaded. This means that if you reload to a point where your thirst wasn't as high, but you didn't drink before saving, MC might still die during the next stat check because the values didn't reset properly.

I'm working on an internal soft save system for the game, so I hope to fix this problem sooner rather than later!

Just came to say I died from thirst unu, I WAS JUST TRYING TO NOT GET MY SLEEP TO LOW!! ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ (I reached this before meeting Rain)

I am a good little kid who listens to the game they had been playing non stop for 3hs

Thank you for bringing this to my attention! Sometimes bugs are a little tricky, so I always need to check this kind of death scenes.

Questions, questions:

Were you getting your MC to drink water? If so, how much?

Did you save and reload this game before you died?
