Dating Gameplay Gameplay and New Features

This game has a very interesting name. It's called I can smell you from here, and that compelled me enough to try it. It's a dating game where apparently an incel goes on a date for the first time ever, and it goes exactly as you'd expect, maybe? Where's my mouse? Oh, I feel the god it, right? No, it's gone. There Got it. Ah. Fumble. First ever fumble match in a billion years. I can't believe this. She's not even real. Can't be. I wonder if she swiped on me by accident. But this is not even the craziest part.

Oh, god. The day has come. The fate has spoken. I can't believe I'm going to have my organs stolen tonight. Welp, worth it if she actually looks like the pictures. Not the worst way to go. All right. So, what this chat says is, "You're so close by. Want to meet up? Hello, how are you? I'm so bored and looking for someone to eat with. Come?" Date invite sounds cool. See you soon. Yay. 7:00 p.m. Z Bistro. This is the location she sent me, all right. And it's a bistro? For some reason, I have the feeling that the only item I'm able to afford is still water from the bathroom tap. Or not even that.

There she is. This must be her. Edimia from Fumble? Yes. Hello. Please, make yourself at home. I mean, it's restaurant, not really home. You're actually here. I'm so happy that you showed up. You cannot even imagine. You are Well, nice to meet you, too. I ordered espressos for us. Oh, you a fan of black coffee? No. I like espressos. Uh-huh. Excuse me? Why is my espresso so small? I want 10 of them. Actually, a full pitcher.

Wow, you got a deadline or something? It's late. I might just have a decaf, actually. Thanks. How many are you having? Uh um I'm going to have the normal amount. Oh. Wow. Thank you. Oh. Uh hm. You're having fun? Indeed. Hey. Can I tell you a secret? Uh sure. You are my first match and my first date. And a total snack. Just look at you. I feel like the luckiest girl on Earth. Why do I deserve this honor? It's same. Truth be told, you are also my first. I mean, first in a while. I totally had other dates before you.

Yeah. And you are very pretty, too. Really? Aw, that makes me blush so much. I can tell by your rosy cheeks. Feels like I'm melting. The espresso was too hot. Don't look at me. Whoopsie. Huh? Aw, I must look so embarrassing right now. Say, you really think I'm pretty? Because you look like the most delicious snack ever. Okay. Need to use the bathroom. Hey baby, hotter than the pictures, baby. Let me tell you. Yeah. Yep. I totally did not expect you to be even hotter than your profile pictures, ma'am.

You really think so? Yeah. You Yes, of course. Hm. You do have a good taste, don't you? Not just that you taste good, though. That, too, probably. But also, you really have a good taste for who you go out with. I know I am attractive. Of that there is no doubt. Too many people tried to bring me down shaming me for having confidence on my good looks, but not you. You're different, aren't you? Oh, to think I just might spare your life tonight if you play your cards right. Uh No point in saying something. There's only one choice. I am not your food.

Girl, chill. Why would you want to eat me anyway? As unbelievable as it might sound to you, but hear me out. I'm probably not even on your menu, actually. This is to say I'm not part of your food chain. Yep. Why not? I love eating humans. You totally look like a human to me. Just like my last first match and first day yesterday. Wow. Um because I'm out of this world. I'm undefinable. I'm indescribable. I'm inscrutable. I'm immutable. I cannot be put in such a box as to say that I'm human. I am beyond that which is human.

Since you prey on humans, you should be able to tell that I'm actually not human. Even though I completely look like one. You have me intrigued, fellow humanoid being. What are you then? I Getting personal, aren't we? I mean, why don't you Take a guess. Actually, I did think I was the only species that disguises as humans while preying on them. If you're like me, but also not like me, I really don't have a clue here. So, tell me already. What are you? Well, let's just say operate body doppelganger cyborg.

Let's just say I'm an expert pilot of the human form. I'm great at controlling this body you see in front of you. And I do it oh so elegantly and oh so profoundly as you will soon discover. I operate this human body similar as you do. Oh, how do you do that? There's a tiny me up here above my hat. Let me think. Hey, you know it feels like we've been talking about me for a while. It's not so fair, don't you think? How about you go first? Oh my, just where are my manners? I'm very sorry if I came off as intrusive. It's just so interesting to me talking to someone similar yet different and well, as for me, you could say that I brute-forced my way in if you catch my

meaning. Ah, yes, very efficient. I tried my best not to make a mess, too. Do you think I deserve a praise for this? Absolutely. Good job. You have my salute. Both hands, you know? Woo, okay, my turn. I guess Yeah, how do you do it? I Most of these limp humans, they are uh cowards at heart. They don't even have what you'd call spine both symbolically and physically. I actually embed myself, rip out their spine, and then replace myself in their spinal cord. I operate this body through spinal cord. You know, the uh central nervous system. Like moving around, feeling things, reflexes, stuff like that. Oh, fancy. I know. Well, when you got to

pilot a body, you really got to remember laser target what really gets to the root of Many people would think the brain, but that's that's ridiculous. I'm very impressed. You know a lot about how it works. I know nothing about how I work at all. For me, everything is just an urge with zero need for contemplation. Hungry? I eat. Want something? I take. Hate something? Perhaps I'll be happy without it. So silly, isn't it? Nope, not silly at all. Don't even dare talking yourself down like that. You have a lot going for you.

First of all, I think you look very pretty, and second, you are clearly a you Really think I look pretty? You mean it? Yeah, dead serious. Wait, do you think as his spine? Do you see as his spine? Are you talking to me as his spine? How do you do that? Sort of. I mean, I don't know exactly, but Are you looking at me through his eyes? Can this human see me? Maybe. Or what if yes? Whoa, little human. I am Edimia. I am on a date with your spine. Nice to meet you. Does this human think I'm pretty, too? Absolutely.

He says you are very attractive as well as kind and merciful. Aw, that is adorable and probably wrong. So, you and this human live together as one? Oh, yeah, exactly. I actually let him keep his brain and stuff. The way he thinks is just never a dull moment. Amazing. So, how do you control the spine, the real you? Do you become the spine, replace it, wrap around it? How do you do it? Somewhere along those lines, for sure. Yeah. Edimia confused. How do you think as his spine? You said he thinks, but also you think. How do you see as his spine? You said he sees, but you see what he sees. How are you

talking to me as his spine? Because Edimia has seen spine before. Oh, yes. Edimia has seen many, many human spines. None like this. Spine is long stick that hangs the human meat. Spine hangs meat which drains and turns into delicious jerky. No think, no see, no talk. Nothing like this. Edimia no like. Edimia no trust. Do you think the one talking to me is a human? It's you. You are human. Edimia almost considers not eating you. But now, Edimia sad that Edimia is made fool. Edimia mad. Edimia is not to be with. No human sees and talks to me like this and gets away with it. Ah, damn. I think I was on the right track. I should probably save, you know, just to get there, but hold on, one second. Let me get back.

How do I skip? There was a way to skip. Oh, there we go. Okay, I just got press and hold. Okay. Hotter than the pictures, you know it, babe. I'm not human. I think this is the right track. Okay, I operate the body. I think that was also good. I replace the brain. That's what I do. Actually, I'm going to save here. Oh, I can't save. Really? When I'm here? Damn it. Okay, replace the brain, that's what I do. I do it by replacing this four poor fellas or four poor four fellas.

I'm sorry. Kill me, eat me. Like a pilot in a cockpit or something as a human would say, which I'm definitely not. Whoa. So, can I see you? The real you? No, not without killing this body, which I would be having a problem with, obviously. Understandable. So, what is it like being you? It's kind of like Well, in simple terms, connect myself to the brainstem and imitate the electrical signals the original human brain would have sent, stuff like that. Hope it makes sense. Wow, that's what I was going for with the spinal cord, but you know, in sympathy with the human there.

You know so much about your anatomy. You sound so smart. I like that in a fellow parasite. Mainly because I don't understand how it works for me at all. Whoa, no need to talk yourself down. I'm sure you have good knowledge in other subjects yourself. Me, talking myself down? This guy, I can't Oh, you mean me? No, I'm completely fine with not knowing anything about how I work. Everything is just an urge with zero need for contemplation. Hungry? Oh, okay. Well, so easy, unlike your species. I see no

big guns. Probably because you maxed out busy being the brain. What do you consume energy for? Emotions? All right, fine. Whoa, okay. Is that you making fun of me? Also, no, not at all. I would not want to trade my life for yours. That is not to say I am not open to dating your type, the brain type. After all, I would not mind at all being the muscle of a relationship. Okay, Edmea. Sometimes I feel like I can't read you at all. I'm I'm so hard to read. You just think too hard to interpret a subtext that does not exist. Weakness of operation is a fully functioning brain.

Yeah, maybe you do have a point. It's really not that deep. Next question. Where did you get this human body from? Huh? Uh wait, hold on. Dammit. Ah. OH, ME AND THIS BODY WE GO WAY BACK. ALL THE WAY BACK, ACTUALLY. From the very beginning. Oh, I'm what you call, well, not a parasitic twin, because I would make you me human, but I was uh cosmically lasered into uh our collective mother's womb, and then I ate the brain. I grew with him. I was actually inhaled in another human first, but I failed to latch onto the brain.

Oh, what happened? Then, following bloodstreams, I found this container inside this human, so I went there. And there was actually a very tiny animal in there, inside the big human. This one was much weaker, but easier to take over, so I did. It was also insanely gluttonous, ate from a pipe connected directly to its stomach, and grew at an impressive speed. Soon enough, I craved more than getting food from the pipe, so I pushed my way out of that human. I was still relatively small back then, so I kept consuming whatever they had for me to eat for a while. Wait. It's kind of like stuck.

Didn't you do anything about it? I have tried, but it seems like I would be stuck in this body for a while. I don't Wait, no, I don't like where this is going. Oh. A long time. Yeah. Did you have to do human stuff to blend in? When I was weak, I had to, unfortunately. It was definitely a humbling learning experience. Boring. Oh, by the way, remind me. Did you at any point ever say if you also eat humans just like I do? Oh, you know. I don't think I did. And I don't eat humans.

Oh, no, don't think so. As in no, I did not mention it at any point. And also, I in fact don't eat humans like you do. Sorry. Oh. But you were nodding along when I talked about my human eating experiences. Sure I was. But why? So what do you eat? You know, like kind of a share a similar diet with a human somehow. How disappointing. Yeah, well, that was fun. It's getting pretty late. I should head Oh, no. Fun? Wasting Edimmu's time fun? I hate you. Edimmu, no, we had a good conversation and I really like you and maybe we can be friends. I can show you some other kinds of foods that you might like.

Other kinds of food other than humans? Yes, thank you. There are so many cool options. Yeah. Edimmu will try. Starting from you. Okay, all right. All right, all right, that's fair. Damn it. I want to continue down the same path I was doing because I feel like I'm getting somewhere. Okay, I'm at here. I'm going to say no I didn't because I don't think I did even though not eating along doesn't count. But let's say I do eat humans, you know. Uh I wish I could save. I should have saved before it. DAMN IT. OH, ME.

I ATE THE GUY'S BRAIN, REMEMBER? DUH. But I do eat humans. Funny you asked. I've been wanting to share some of my experience of eating humans well. Just never got the right moment. Oh, so sorry. But please, tell me all about it. Well, since we're here, what would you like to know? Everything. Tell me from the very beginning. It's natural instinct, you know. Listen, babe, sometimes you got to follow nature. You can't question, you know, your own instincts. You just got to learn to go with the flow. I'm sure you understand that. Natural instinct. I don't know how to explain. I guess one day I just knew this was what I wanted and I have always been this way. No questions asked. Oh, totally same. I

remember my first time doing it. It was the smell. Delicious human smell. I followed the smell and eventually I met the human with the smell and I had my feast just like that. I remember it like it was yesterday. Oh, if only I could experience that first time high once again. I'll trade anything for it. [snorts] You know, there's a world of first foods to try. Understandably so. What was your first time like? It was an accident, you know. Didn't mean to, really. It's just the way it went and uh you know?

I'm not some corpse eater. I'm not some cadaver muncher. You know, that's not me. But you know, it wasn't intentional. I did it by accident. How? Let's see. Uh self-defense, you know, self-defense. The human came at me first. I merely fought back trying to protect myself. I was really struggling because he was kind of a big guy. And then I went too far. But then I figured since I already did it, there was no way back. So why not just stick around and enjoy a good meal while it was fresh. I see. Oh, okay.

Here's a good one. Assuming you are already used to eating humans by now, by the sound of it, what is your preferred way to eat? Oh, have you ever tried cooked? Raw? Well, I mean on occasion, but you got to have it cooked. These days I like to prep it nicely. Learned it from the very humans themselves actually. So get this. Somehow heating them up with fire makes them even tastier, you follow? Nope, but I'm intrigued. You see, I like to be precise and have full control over my food even after its death. And since

this humanoid body of mine happens to be equipped with enormous amount of taste buds, why not put that to the test? I guess that makes sense. If you serve it cooked, you have absolutely full control over your food and there are so many ways to make each body part taste different. You could always invent new ones. It's like a ritual of some sorts, always leaving me feeling a kind of satisfaction that you just can't get from serving it raw. So I never went back. This sounds so unbelievably advanced. I will definitely have to see it for myself. I can show you how it's done. Yes, please. Okay, Edemia, you know I have been talking about myself for a while. Let's talk about you for a second. Babe? Sure thing. Ask me anything. Do you

find humans cute? Do you find humans cute? What kind of question is that? Like your human form is pretty cute. You should be aware of that, right? Can you tell if some humans are cuter than others? More or less. Do you feel mercy for the cuter ones? Like me. Uh no difference. Well, our little date has been fun and all, but I have to go. Still a hungry stomach to feed. So, you will not eat me, right? You're so silly. Of course not. But that reminds me you and I, we don't seem to hold the same values, yet we are on the same level of the food chain.

Big trouble. If your kind poses a threat to mine, no, I must not risk it. Cannot happen. I'm sorry, but I can't let you go home, I'm afraid. God dammit. My attitude towards humans is obsessive. Oh, this indicates ah interesting. Okay. All right. I didn't know it was going to be a personality test as well. Oh. Edemia sees you as her rival. Oh, you are assertive with Edemia. You did not fold under the pressure. Not a simp. That's what I'm talking about, baby. That's what I'm talking about. ALL RIGHT, SO

that's that's how it goes. So, you know what they say, opposites attract. So, I have to present this in a way where it's like humans are interesting. Let me see where this goes. I don't think this is right. Actually, sorry for the bad timing, but I really need to use the bathroom. Why? Did you eat already before your date? Where are your manners? You're not going anywhere. Okay, yeah, that yeah, that actually makes a lot of sense.

Yeah. I suspected that to be the case. Ooh, whoa. Okay, story maps, uh-huh. Interesting. Because I also eat humans. Because I also eat humans, that makes us equals on the food chain. That is why I know you wouldn't eat me. You do? Oh my god, oh my god, you should have said that earlier. I thought I was going to have to eat you. But wait, what are you then? Oh, getting personal, are we? I mean, why don't you take a guess? Hmm, actually I did think I was the only one Okay, this is the same. Okay, I'm going to try doppelganger just to see what the difference is.

Okay, my species stand to look almost identical to humans as a disguise, but we're fundamentally different. Okay, so you just stuck looking like this? It is what it is. How unfortunate. Even though I am blended with this organic host at all times, at least I still get to see part of the real me whenever I want to. And you have to admit, it doesn't look that bad, right? Yep, not bad look for you at all. Really fits your aura. Unlike me, definitely not as cool as you since I'm stuck looking like this as you put it. Lame, right? But yeah, definitely not a human. But how? How are we fundamentally different from human beings? Good question, by the way.

Uh, well, you know how humans reproduce? You know? You don't know? Do you know? It's a whole different story on my species come to existence, for example. We don't know. Actually, you know what? I don't know. Don't know what? Don't know how you're different. Yeah, how do you reproduce? I don't know. Are you from here? If not, how did you get here? I don't know. Then how are you sure you are different? Cuz they know. Humans, they sure know what they are. They even take pride in it. But I don't. Doesn't that make me different? Hmm, maybe, but I'm still not convinced. What even makes a human, anyways?

Yeah, you're right. I don't know the definition of a human being. I only judge from how they look. Exactly. The way I see it, for now, even though I cannot prove to you that I'm not human, I cannot prove to you that I am, either. Wow, that is beautiful. And honestly, I can relate because I also barely understand how I work. Everything is just an urge with zero need for contemplation. Hungry, I eat. Blah, blah, blah. Okay. But is that all there is? Is that what I am? That is worth pondering and I suggest we can also help each other out. Get to know each other on a deeper level if you want. This place is closing soon.

Yes, and so sorry about earlier. I almost ate you. No worries, as long as you won't try to eat me from now. No, I want to help you with an experiment. Oh, I'm getting excited. You're going to love this. What's on your mind? So, from my observation, when I butcher the human, they bleed out and stop moving and eventually they die. What if I don't eat you, but instead just try to butcher you and see what happens? If you're not human, something different might happen. Wouldn't that be wonderful to find out? You may not die, you may regenerate, duplicate, go back in time, maybe even fuse into my body. Who knows? Let's find out now. Okay.

All right. Okay. No. All right. Okay, that did not work out. All right. So, doppelganger. Let's see. Uh, no babies. No, no babies. There are no babies. So, humans, they grow up from these smaller humans called babies. But me, my species as a whole, we don't have that stage of life. You see, these humans, they love to have sex because their genes trick them into loving doing it in order to reproduce. But it's all an illusion. And you do not have this illusion? Correct. I am not interested in sexual reproduction at all, which makes me fundamentally different. So, what is the meaning of going on a date with me? Huh, funny you clocked that. You did not exactly come expecting to sexually reproduce with me either,

did you? You came here to feed because you saw me as food. Am I wrong? True, that was my goal. So, same logic, why would I come with the same motive as those stupid sex havers? Also true. You really hate them, don't you? Hatred, grudge, loathing, however you call it, it is my drive and that is what sets the point of my existence apart. I entertain myself watching their mundane, superficial, pathetic lives and weaving. Yeah, there's a lot of documentation of that on the worldwide web. One site I could really recommend is Maternal Void, a legendary hub for all my entertainment as well as those like me who has not reproduced from a mother and thus we do not empathize with those who were.

Sometimes I think about perishing the masses with my own hands because I value them so much. They value hands between the feet. Call me an incel and that's exactly what I am. They all pity me as incels because of their irrational fear of my species. And for once they'd be right. But yeah, that's why my species don't make babies. Too [clears throat] edgy for you perhaps? Wow, that's beautiful. Perishing the masses. Maybe we can do that together on our next date. Oh, I'm getting excited. Really? You bought all that? I mean, I'm glad you yeah, let's go. Gosh, yeah, I'm sorry about earlier. I almost ate you.

Now I understand you're not one of these humans even though you look dangerously similar. [snorts] Well, maybe not fully understand yet, but I think I can tell you apart from now. It's actually so obvious. I can't believe I ignored the early sign. It's been there this whole time. Yeah? What is that? Your smell. It's the way you smell. What? There was only once that I smelled anything like this. So, I was stalking this human, right? He hadn't left his room for days. I had to impersonate his pizza delivery to lure him out. Very fatty, too, that one. Actually, a little too greasy for my taste. Ugh, would not recommend. I prefer a balanced diet. That was pretty extreme. Most humans don't smell like this at all.

Wow, props to you for that patience, that dedication. But yep, I guess that's how my species tell us apart, unfortunately. The reek of misanthropy. It works most of the time. Ugh, still can't believe I almost took you as my food. Forgive me. Especially considering you were probably not tasty at all judging from that smell. What was I thinking? Ouch. Okay, phew, this is fine. I mean, as long as you decide not to eat me anymore, I'll look past it. Yay. Okay, anyway, I see someone has done their homework. Do you know a lot about humans?

Uh, I uh Let's see. Yes, unfortunately, the scum. I can't help it. I mean, yeah, I have been here for a while and over time I tend to notice patterns about them. Never hurts to learn a thing or two, right? Keep your friends close and enemies closer type beat. Woah, you make friends with them? God, no. They are just always involuntarily in my radius. Sometimes it's bizarre how happy and carefree they are or they are, but the more I know about them, the more I believe there's no way I could befriend them. Too much of a difference. Plus, I doubt they would even bother trying to understand me, either.

Okay, almost gave me a big ick. You should try to make a friend. But as a troll, I have tried it. It was fun. Playing with my prey before eating them alive. The disbelief in their eyes when I revealed my true intention was always funny to me. Yeah, valid. By the way, remind me, did you ever say at any point you also eat humans? No, but I do. Did I say that? I don't know if I did. No, but I do. I didn't, but I do. So, this might be the same. No, as in I don't, but I do. But you lie. I what now? Oh, Oh, whoops. Okay, hold on. Nope, I know where this is going. Okay, yes.

Yes, I did mention that I eat humans. Yes. Funny you asked, I've been wanting to share some of my experience of eating humans as well. Is it my turn yet, finally? Oh, so sorry, but please tell me about it. What would you like to know? Everything, okay. Oh, it's natural instinct. So, this should be the same. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Cooked. I This might actually make me in the same category I was before, weirdly enough. Let's see. Okay, well, our little date has been fun, but I have to go. Still hungry stomach. You're so silly, of course not.

I better get going. Would be happy to see you around sometime. Oh, no, I'm in the same spot. I'm in the same exact spot. Oh. Well, that's nice. Edemia sees you as her ally. You are agreeable with Edemia, but do you genuinely stand behind all those rhetorical claims, or were you just saying whatever it took to not get eaten? Perhaps you're simply trying to lie your way into a girl's pants. How long would this piece last? You couldn't help but wonder. Huh. All right, let's think about this again. I'm I'm going to approach this from the idea that I like humans. And I think they're fascinating. I'm not

human myself, but I think there's there's a wondrous world in there. Okay. Cyborg doesn't make too much sense. But I haven't tried it. I'm just going to try it for real quick. I'm a cyborg. Say, what is that? Okay, allow me to explain. I don't know how long you've been on Earth. May I ask if you don't mind sharing? Not so long, still fresh, learning as I go. I heard a lot of things though. Okay, good, because a lot may be different now. We're in the future. It is the era of cyborgism now. Basically, once upon a time, there were only humans, but now our Earth residents consist of humans and quite a few cyborgs.

Still didn't blame the cyborgism, but getting there soon. Cyborgs start with a human body like everyone, like you have a human body. Why didn't you just say that? No, no, no. I mean, technically true, but it gets complicated. So many augmentations and that I am now never the human I once was. I'm a social weak taste bag for all the changes done to our body. Actually, true story, you would not like eating me. And cyborgs in general, of course. You should look for a real organic human. Yeah, organic, natural, tasty, unnatty, healthier, too. I'm definitely not unnatty. I'm so overprocessed. Yuck.

You make it sound like I'm in for a bad ride. I don't like it at all. You going to tell me what kind of augmentations you got that makes you taste so bad that I should just let you go? Glad you asked. For example, I got a testosterone slow-release implant, glasses, braces. I have braces. Do you see these braces? Braces, yeah, metal appendages on my teeth. You can't take them off even if you try. Did it give you more bite strength? Uh yeah, actually, yes. Awesome. Can you give me those, too? Love hearing the screams of humans as I tear them to shreds. Hook you up with my doctor.

I mean, someone awesome. I'm so glad we met. You're so cool. Anyways, on their homework, a lot about humans. Uh yes, proudly. I mean, yeah. Sometimes I just enjoy observing them. You could know a lot about them before you speak to them, you know? Oh, do you talk to them a lot? Not necessarily. Actually, I don't talk to people. I mean, the humans that much. Mostly give me a big ache. Uh, okay. Uh, no, I don't. No, I didn't. And I don't eat humans. How dare you? I, in fact, don't eat humans like you do.

Sorry. Oh. But you were nodding along. Sure I was, but why? So, what do you eat? Let's see. Share human diet, same. No fun. Got to get out of here. So, doppelganger had a few choices that I've seen. Didn't eat human, that's a dead end. So, that will always be a dead end up there. That makes sense. But then down there, there's another choice here. Interesting. Okay. I think what it was saying is that this goes to the same spot. So, I'm going to say that I also eat humans. Because I also eat humans. Because the choice down the road that pertains to this, I think, is interesting. There was

another choice in doppelganger that was like steal DNA or something like steal DNA. Used to be very small, bacteria-sized. Really? That is so small. Wait. What is a bacteria? Ah, you didn't know. Won't give you a lecture on this, but basically I was tiny, so small you wouldn't even be able to notice me. My form was designed for one simple goal, consume. My entire body was basically just a digestion tube. One end in, one end out. But it doesn't stop there. The interesting thing about my species is that we don't digest the DNA. Instead, we either poop it out or we replace it with our own.

When my species consumes something bigger and stronger, we have the option to basically grow into the thing we eat. It's always a struggle capturing and consuming bigger and stronger opponents, but always dangerously rewarding, you know? So, yeah. Before this human form, I was walking on all fours. I could growl and I was fast. And now this guy you see here with these two thumbs, that's basically my last big meal. And the next one? Who knows? Wow. That's beautiful. Morphing into what you eat. Your life sounds so full of adventures and randomness. Scary sometimes, but yeah. Hey. If you find a bigger and stronger target you want to eat, maybe we can hunt it down together on our next date. Oh, I'm getting excited. Really?

You I'm glad you I can't accept this offer sadly. Aw, why not? Because what's the point if I didn't defeat my opponent myself? Would feel like a total impostor that way. Even though our entire existence is kind of already stealing others existence, you know. And frankly, as I now realize this form I take is now is not so optimized for traditional hunting. But what's the fun if not fully mastering all potential at this current form before moving on to the next target? The big win, the adrenaline rush, knowing that you fully earned it yourself. I'm speaking smart now. So, yeah, I will not cheat by borrowing your

power. I'm not about that. Gosh, the integrity. That is admirable. So sorry about earlier. I almost ate you. Aw, apology accepted. But I now understand that you're really not one of those humans even though you look dangerously similar. Well, maybe not fully understand yet, but I'm happy you let me in on this. I won't tell anyone. And I wish you the best of luck on your next upgrade. But hey, I'm curious. How are you getting by in the meantime? You mean what I eat before I find my next target? You know, I can eat about anything this humanoid body is able to digest, so mostly what actual humans eat. Is that lame?

Yeah, sorry to hear that. That sucks. Thankfully, this species never runs out of food availability, so I never actually starve. But I'm trying not to get too comfortable. I guess it could be worse. Okay, anyways. I see someone has done their homework. Do you know a lot about humans? No, I'm still learning. This is relatively new for me. No, still learning. Honestly, not so much. I have tried to make an effort to get to know them better, but always hit dead ends. But never hurts to learn a thing or two, right? Keep your friends close, your enemies closer type beat. Well, you sure

try. I gave up a long time ago. Yeah? And how's that working for you? Pretty good, actually. Why would I try to empathize with my food, anyways? Bad for business. Yeah, valid. You should also try it. Just stop caring and profit. Yeah, maybe. Oh, by the way, remind me, did you say Yes, I did. Yes, I did, but I don't need them anymore. Yes, I did. I used to eat humans all the time. I actually stopped recently and you should stop, too. Stop it. You I'm quite the advocate of this lifestyle.

Maybe you would also give it a try. You really are so funny. Oh, you're serious. Why do you think anyone would ever consider this? Let's see, because being stronger doesn't make it right, because it's hurting individuals instead of a species, because I didn't like how it made me. Because eventually humans will notice and fight back. Oh, this is a This is actually a good question. Uh, how about this? Sure, this is definitely leaning the respectful way.

I don't think that she'll like it. Good question. You know, I knew humans long before I knew any human. What do you mean? Humans, as a category. Noisy, weak, abundant, edible. Yeah, they sure are. But then I started learning stupid little things about individual ones. What they were afraid of, who they missed, what they are looking forward to doing should their lives be spared, their habits, patterns, similarities and differences.

You notice it, too, don't you? Really? That's it? Yep, that's all it takes. Eventually, a human stopped being enough information for me to decide what their life was worth. Hm. You might have a point. A challenging one, I must say. But what difference does that make? Humans eat humans, humans kill humans, things eat humans, I eat humans. You stop, there is one less. Even if I stop, there two less, but everything else keeps happening. So, why bother? You're right, I can't change much. And most of how it is remains outside of my control.

The only real differences is I can make is on the ones whose life I spared. But even then, it's not a guaranteed lifetime safety ticket for them, either. They still suffer and die one way or another. Sounds like you can't even convince yourself. Lame. Well, Oh, damn it. Don't hold the same values big trouble threat can't let you go home. Ah, damn it. So where did I end up on the Ah, so I was over in the opposite corner. Not all the way over, but pretty far. But not what I'm looking for. Eventually humans will notice and fight back. That's That's probably what I would do.

Cuz humans are really bad prey once enough of them find out you're eating them. But they're so dumb and tiny. Individually, yes. But systematically, that's where I beg to differ. Edemia, they have satellites, databases, helicopters, forensic labs, and believe it or not, they have an entire government departments whose only purpose is to figure out whoever keeps making people disappear. This is exactly why I stay in the clear these days. They are out to get us, Edemia. They always find their way and we are outnumbered. That gives me the ick.

Ugh, why do humans have to be so inconvenient? But fine. For the sake of not getting caught, what should I eat instead? Well, farm animals. Farm animals are pretty good. Farm animals. Yeah, cows, pigs, chickens. Humans already breed billions of them specifically to be eaten. Guess why? They don't think or feel like humans do. They don't have plans, ambitions, families waiting for them. They don't understand what's happening the same way we do. Most importantly, they don't know how to fight back. No calling the police whatsoever. That's simply not in their

conception. Once dead, they're gone forever. See, easier to catch and with fewer consequences. And my favorite part, they taste just as if not more delicious. What? That actually does sound awesome. Sure, I might miss some of the thrill of the hunt, but this sounds way too convenient to pass on. Yep, hunger solved, threat removed, everyone happy. True, true. Well, our little date has been fun and all, but I have to go. Still hungry stomach. So, you'll not eat me. Silly not. That reminds me, you and I, we don't seem to hold the same values, yet we're on the same level of the food chain. Big trouble. Oh.

Oh, come on. BUT OH, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE FARM ANIMALS? ALL RIGHT. I THINK THE answer is being in the top left, coexisting. There has to be a way to get up there. I'm not sure how, but I'm going to go back to I'm not your food. I'm going to say I also eat humans. I'm going to try to be as indifferent as possible. I operate this body. I don't know. Barely have any idea how I took it over. Like bam, one day I'm here, there's my life, just like that. So, you know what the truth is? I don't know. You don't know? Is that bad? Damn it, I wasn't prepared. Same. Oh, I also have absolutely zero idea how it works for

me. Everything is just an urge with zero need for contemplation. Hungry, I eat. Want something, I take. Hate something? Okay, so yeah, but hey, however you do doing it, it is really working well for you. Absolute work of art. Oh. I guess you don't have problems with this, huh? Not at all. So glad finally someone relates to my experience. Now I'm on the right track. Best part is how well integrated you are. I mean, you still smell exactly like a human. I do? Is that bad? No, not at all. I love the smell of humans. I mean, it is my favorite food after all. So, why not wear it as my favorite

scent, too? That way I can always be reminded of my favorite food. Don't you agree? Yeah. You love it. You put a ring on it. It's like, why the hell not, right? Simple as that, indeed. Yes, you. So, you agree. Aw, we think alike. We like the same smells. What is going on? I'm feeling dizzy and fuzzy. Stop it, you. I won't. Okay, and maybe just maybe I still want to bite you a little after this. What? Just a nibble. I will be gentle, please. You smell so good. Oh, fine, maybe. Yay! I

said maybe. Next question. Where did you get this human body from? Okay, this is where they got multiple choices here. Uh in his bedroom. In his No freaky, you know, insinuations here. Just in his bedroom. I think by the time I took over I realized I was inside an enclosure. Quiet, almost too quiet and too convenient for me. But I didn't mind, nothing to lose. I learned that this is his bedroom, which is a room with a bed. It's like a hideout you come back to. I know this. I love bedrooms. Lucky you. That is where I usually find my food. When I find them in these bedrooms they're always not moving. Like they're waiting for me to harvest them. Bedroom

is food room. Food room is good room. Wow, we're really getting along. Oh yeah, true. Nice observation on your part. Work smart, I respect that. Thank you. Oh, by the way, remind me, did you at any point ever say you also eat humans just like I do? Okay. All right. I think I did. I did this time. Yes, but I don't eat them anymore. Not anymore. Yes, I did. I used to eat humans all the time. I stopped and you should, too. Let me see what happens now. Let's see. Have farm animals. Future wealth. Our little date has been fun. I have to go. Still a hungry stomach.

Not eat? Of course not. It's clear that you are one of us and I should not have come on you in the first place. Well, I better get going. Would be happy to see you around sometime. Ah, still not quite there. Still in the fascinated camp. Why is it saying it's fascinated? Ally, yeah, okay. All right. Let me try something else here. Doesn't matter. I don't know. Does it really matter? I mean, who cares? My goal is done and I moved on. Simple as that. Yep, literally me. Twins.

Yeah. That's pretty indifferent. It's pretty indifferent. So, oh by the way, remind me, did you at any point Yes, I did mention I eat humans. Funny you ask. Want to share my experience. Oh, so sorry, but please tell me about it. Everything. Tell me from the very beginning. I learned to like it. Well, did not come natural to me in the beginning. I really kind of discovered by accident, man. No regrets. First time doing it smell okay. I've just read that.

I deliberate murder. Had to do it to them. The first time wasn't easy, but it has to be done. Had to kill them. Let's see. A weapon? You know, humans pride themselves using tools. That's supposed to be one of the things that makes them superior to other species. And guess what? It's ironically how I scored my first body of theirs. I should really introduce you to some of these. Man, they really do love inventing ways to hurt and butcher themselves and each other, which I do not mind at all. Interesting. Oh, okay, here's a good one. So me, you're already used to eating humans by the sound of

it. What's your preferred way to eat? Oh. Raw. Definitely raw. Timeless classic. You saw it coming, didn't you? No way, that's my favorite, too. Yeah, I can tell. Stop it, I'm getting hungry. Yeah? Don't you just love the thought of bright red hot and fresh blood pouring out of a nice cut and then freely sucking on it? Oh, yes, keep going. Plus point if they are still alive. Who would be digging deep in their guts and looking into their eyes? That's the best feeling ever.

You think? Oh, yeah, and don't forget how tearing the flesh and skin from random directions make it taste better somehow. Yeah, so my god, I noticed that, too. I thought I was the only one. You really do get it. Yeah, I do. Okay, Demia, you know, I've been talking about myself. Let's talk about you. Ask me anything. Do you What's your favorite part to eat? Do you have a favorite part to eat? I can't live without it. Probably say human blood. Blood? Stop. Is it really lame? Not necessarily. I expected something much more hardcore. That sounds exactly like you find it lame. Demia, no, I don't find it lame, promise. Nothing you do is lame. I also really like blood. Hey, did you know

when you let the blood dry, it can become like pudding? Blood pudding? Yes, cute and romantic. Perfect for a date snack. I can show you sometime. I'm sure you would love it. Pfft, not a bad idea. I just might consider it. To yourself. Well, our little date has been fun. I have to go. Still hungry feed. Not eat? Of course not. Clearly one of us. Better get going. Safe travels home. Wait. Yes? You don't happen to be free same time tomorrow, do you? I would love to see you again, soon. Ah, see, now I'm in the predatory category.

Whoa. Edimmu sees you as her ally. Oh, really? While Loki having a crush on you. You are agreeable, but do you genuinely stand behind it? Or she's simply trying to lie your way into a girl's pants. How long would this piece last? Couldn't help but wonder. Hmm. How the hell do you get to that top left? Okay. I just got to think of this as the most indifferent thing possible. Okay, let me go back to I'm not your food. What's indifferent here? No, I'm not human, because I'm not human. Let me think boring. I'm I'm not human. I'm not I operate the body and then I don't know, but you like this, so I don't know much more than

that one. I don't know. How about I doesn't It doesn't matter. That's pretty indifferent. Doesn't matter. Wait, did I say that already? I think I did say that. Damn. I literally can't remember what I just did. Doesn't matter. I did say it doesn't matter. Okay, so let me do brew with him again for this one. What about on the street? No, I said in his bedroom. Doesn't matter. I don't know. Does it really matter? I mean, who cares? My goal is done. No, okay. So, that's that's that. But, that feels very indifferent. What about on the street? Outside, lots of lights, noise, sensory input. Let's get by car. You're so funny, except it almost cost me my life.

Can you imagine me only immediately dying after you enter your host? That's stopping it. I'm embarrassing you. I do enjoy the story. Mhm. No, but I do. Natural instinct. Uh found a corpse, very indifferent. It was How the do you get it anywhere else? Okay, hold on. I'm going to go here. Tomato juice. You like drinking blood, right? Yes, love blood. Like if there was something you absolutely can't go without, it's blood, right? Yes, how did you know?

Well, let's just say I'm not bad reading people. Point is, you're missing out. One human only has around 5 L of blood, of which if you don't drink up at once, it oxidizes and start tasting bad, which would be a waste. But, there are so many blood substitutes out there that are right under your radar. I could not recommend tomato juice enough. It tastes uncannily similar to blood, and you can get it in smaller packages, however much you need, much easier to store as well. What? That actually does sound awesome. Sure, I might miss some of the thrill, but it's too convenient. Hunger solved, threat removed, everyone happy. True, true. Well, today's been fun. Now to eat me.

Oh, whoops. Oh, sorry. I This is the wrong save. Uh, such a good conversation. Yes, we did. And that's why it's so hard for me. Oh, this is different. I should have shredded you into pieces by now, and yet a part of me hates to see you killed, and even wishes to be sweet to you. A wish that defies my nature completely. Go. Go back to where you're supposed to be before my blood lust gets the best of me. I won't follow you home this time. And then, let's just say you don't bother me, I won't bother you. And that should be best.

I hope to never see you again, or else I don't know how to live with such immense internal conflict. So, please just leave me alone. Oh, interesting. Oh, oh my god. Those eyes. Sees his rival, but I was left alive while Loki having a crush on you. All your poison finding common ground while maintaining a fair share of differences. Huh. Interesting. Still don't know how to get to that top left. Okay, hold on. Operate body. Don't know. Grew with him. Yes, but I don't eat them anymore. What about personal decision?

Well, I haven't done that. Just to be clear, I'm not asking you to stop eating humans like me. It was a personal decision that I stopped. Fully respect our lifestyle differences though. You really are so funny. Oh, you're serious. Why would one ever come to this decision? Cuz being stronger doesn't make me right, because of straining individuals, because I didn't like how it made me. I don't know. Cuz eventually I realized it wasn't making any decisions for myself. What do you mean? You decide to hunt and eat them, no? Seems that way, right? But not quite if you think about it. I got hungry, I wanted a human, I killed a

human. Same sequence every time. Not so much of a decision, more like muscle memory. Pure slavery to my appetite. But if every urge I have becomes an order I obey, then what's actually in control of me? I thought to myself, I am more than this. Why else am I superior to the ones I hunt? Hmm. You might have a point. A challenging one, I must say. What difference does that make? Humans eat humans, humans kill humans, things are human, I eat humans. Even if you stop, there's only one less. As well, bother. You're right, I can't change much, and most of it remains outside my control.

The only real decisions I can make are the ones whose life I spare, but even then, it's not guaranteed lifetime safety ticket for them either. Still suffer and die one way or another. Sounds like you can't even convince yourself. Lame. Well, okay, well, that's personal decision. Stronger doesn't make me right. Cuz I've come to understand what it means to be the one in power. More power, more intelligence comes with more responsibility. Use your strength with care. Could kill and eat a human, doesn't mean it's the right thing to do

by default. But why? Sounds so boring. Because if strength creates a right to kill, then I have to expect the same rule when I meet something stronger than me. But I don't want to. I want to live. I want my species to live on. That's why I can't honestly call the rule fair only while I'm the one in power. Cuz who knows? One day you were thriving on Earth, but some other day you may find yourself being preyed upon with a fate you don't even have time or capacity to understand, because the ones in power simply deny you of that. Is this really worth it? Hmm.

Might have a point, challenging one. Does and then stop the one on one. Why bother? I can't change much. Okay, so it's like the same thing. It's right on the line. I'm still not into coexistent territory. It's still predatory. I don't even know if I can read too much out of these branching paths because it's just kind of confusing. Go back to this one, doppelganger. Mhm. So, this is one of the few that gets to the dialogue that do you still know about these guys? But this is still DNA. And then there's another choice there.

Sometimes it doesn't go to those choices. But these, this and the cyborg path are the ones that go to these options. See, like Yes, proudly. I know humans, proudly. Yes, I know no. That would be fascinating. I need to be indifferent. No, don't care. Honestly, not so much, but who cares? I know what my goals are. I know do what I can do achievement. If it requires learning about this body of my own, then sure, whatever it takes. What's so good that they could offer me that I absolutely could not turn down anyways? Anxiety?

Yeah, you're laughing at that, right? I find humans so loud and annoying way even bother. Well, that's not good. Well, that No, that's down the predatory. Oh, let me do that again. Yes, proudly. I mean, yeah, I've been here for a while and sometimes I enjoy just observing them. No, that's that would be a down the fascinating path. It has to be something indifferent. No. Yes, unfortunately. Maybe. I mean, yeah, I've been here for a while. Patterns, never learn. You make friends with them? God, no.

They're just always involuntarily in my radius. It's bizarre how happy and carefree they are. The more I believe there's no way I could be for too much of a difference. Plus, I don't even know Let's give me a big egg. Hold on. All right, I think I've gotten as far as I can go. I don't know how else to get farther on the alignment chart. I've traversed this, but this guy doesn't necessarily make sense. So, I'm going to leave this up to you guys. The link of this game is in the description below. If there's other endings here that I have not gotten to, I mean, all of you and all the choose your own adventures that I've made have been able to find

all the secret endings. Maybe you can find the secret endings here and report back to me what it is and if it even is worth it. But, it's fun. I like this. I'm I mean, I'm a sucker for choose your own adventure, so anything that has an opportunity to have multiple choices is very captivating to me. So, thank you for making this. Thank you for watching this, and let me know your thoughts down in the comments below. And as always, I will see you in the next video. Bye-bye. You know,
