I was not lucky in love, but I'm okay living the cyclops single life. My favorite mythical creature is Cthulhu.

Mirror, mirror, in the cave.

You're single, hot, and ready to slay!

I hooked up with Alienus and now things are VERY complicated. Gotta get back to learning how to bring a large network of mycellium to climax.

Sounds like a very interesting follow-up quest!

Timidus was more of a letdown than I thought. I guess I figured there was a diamond hidden under all that hair and baseless rage. My heart will always be with Robustus.

I like to think that I still date my partner. It keeps things fresh!

The hydra is so interesting to me, and terrifying.

Yeah, I'm complex. My heart's like a maze. Would you like a Minotaur?

This is why it’s important to play the field for a bit and see what other one-eyed giants are out there.

Aww, that’s sweet. Yeah, my partner and I are “fresh” in that way, too. ❤️

Hydra’s a good one! They really know how to ruin a day at the beach.

My cyclops found out the hard way that single is the way to go. My favorite monster is probably Jörmungandr. Runners up include griffins and centaurs (I'd offer a centaur pickup line, but you asked to keep it PG ;-)

Your cyclops' single life will be the stuff of legends!

I had to look up the Jörmungandr and boy, I'm glad I did. What a total badass! I like that him and Thor have a feud going.

+20 Points. It wasn't what I asked for, but your comment made me lol.

The issue with needing to restart to get the story working is still a thing. As usual I went for as many outcomes as I could find. Went with Acerbus first and he didn't seem too bad. I like how the ordering is random, makes different playthroughs stand out more. And the range of different outcomes too, each one felt different instead of falling into an obvious pattern.

For favorite mythical monster I'll say dragon. I like the one from Beowulf.

As for the pick up line, uh.... Are you Icarus? Because you look like you fell from the heavens. Bonus one that's not specifically Greco-Roman: Are you a syncretic deity? Because I'd like to merge with you.

We're still working on the restart issue, but I think we found a workaround. It's an Ink game thing, according to other devs. :-/

Thanks for playing, I'm glad you liked the design. I can do more with randomization now and make the games feel more varied for multiple play-throughs more easily.

+100 Points! To make it waaaay nerdier... I must be the lead character in Kid Icarus, because when I see you, I get so lovesick it's PIT-iful.

It's cool to see the new stuff the change in formatting has opened up to you.

Kid Icarus! I really liked Uprising, but sometimes I forget that it's supposed to be based on Greek Mythology with how loosely it handles it. Your joke sounds like something Pit himself might come up with.

Sky high praise!
