Going Off The Asks About The MC Being Gay Or Straight, If We Keep The Original Genders Does That Allude

Going off the asks about the MC being gay or straight, If we keep the original genders does that allude to MC being bi/pan?

I suppose you're talking about The In-Between. In that case, no, since in the original story, MC is a gay man ☺

However, MC's orientation is never made explicit in the IF, so much so that only the characters' gender is mentioned. You can just imagine that MC is bi/pan, but that at this time in their life they're only attracted to people of a specific gender.

For "in between" I have few questions!

Does the ex like their current partner as much as they like Chiara, a girl they just met? Lol I have to say, theirs is a very deep love 🤣🤣

Will it be possible to have a platonic route?

Did MC and the ex-current-partner already know each other, before the cheating happened? Did they knew that Alessandro/a was in a relationship when they got together?

Hi! So, let's see...

Question 1:

I'm not sure I understand it, who do you mean by 'ex'?

(I started writing a more detailed reply but realized I was probably adding a few spoilers, so I scrapped it and went for something simpler…)

Here are all the current relationships as of Chapter 8:

Ale 1 (friend) <-[flirt]-> Cinzia

Ale 1 (friend) —[crush]-> Chiara

Chiara —[crush]-> Ale 2 (bad guy)

Chiara’s unnamed ex —[crush]-> Chiara

Chiara —[hurt from]-> Chiara’s unnamed ex

Ale 2 —[???]-> MC

Ale 2 <-[???]-> Mirko/Mika

MC —[disdain]-> Ale 2

I'm thinking of creating an in-game character index because I'm starting to need diagrams to explain the relationships, lol!

Question 2:

If by 'platonic route' you mean a relationship without sex, yes, it's possible. If you mean finishing the game without any romantic relationship, that's also possible. However, it's implied that MC does have sexual encounters outside of their main (possible) relationship, even though they're not explicit in the SFW version of the story.

Question 3:

MC's relationships are intentionally mysterious and foggy right now, but that’s all part of the plot! Things will get more understandable soon, I promise ♥

I'm so hyped for After Dark 3.5.2 update (in early access from Sept 30). I can't wait to complete Day 5 because things will only keep going downhill from there, and honestly I'm here for the drama lol

Is it spoilers to know Ros in the in between?

Let's say that the list of characters isn't complete yet! You still have other people to meet. ☺

Hey! I was just wondering when do you think you will fully release the in between? Don’t mean to put you pressure I just am really eager to read the whole book ( I hope my English is okay, it’s not my first language ) thank you 🙏🏻

Hi! Thank you for your interest in The In Between ☺

It’s still a bit too early to give a definite timeline for a final release. Writing (and coding) IFs takes time, especially when you have many other responsibilities IRL! However, I’m working on a consistent schedule and I plan to keep releasing monthly updates until the end.

I truly appreciate your eagerness, my readers' support means so much to me! I hope you’ll keep enjoying the story until its full release ♥
