*SLIGHT SPOILERS*

Gotta say that I love the game and all of the guys but the true ending didn't really feel satisfying to me.  Maybe it's because I finished most of the routes before this final update so the payoff didn't hit as hard like if I had played from start to finish in like a day or two.

That said, I'm really glad to have gotten to go along for the ride and will have to reset everything for a chance to experience it without the ability to skip forward

didn't really feel satisfying to me.

After the very satisfying Ending of Path A, it felt like getting "cheated" doesn't it?  









But objectivly i liked it anyway. Look at the bright site: At least it wasn't some kind of stupid "It was all just a dream" Ending. Every creator/author who pulled off any "It was all just a dream" Ending deserves defenestation!!

Don't get me wrong, I think it ended a good way but I guess I got my hopes up expecting at least to decide who I end up with.

This seems to have surprised more than a few people. It had been known for some time there would be a true ending boyfriend and that final choice for partner would be Dave's, not the player. So I guess that's why I went in expecting no choice there.

For me at least, I was really happy how it played out. For Dave's character and what's been established in story, it makes a lot of sense and honestly was cathartic to watch after all these years.

to decide who I end up with

I concur, BUT... any Romance beside Dean, Tyson and Orlando feels kinda uk-ward and out of nowhere. The canon romance for Dave is at least  natural. 

In the end Grizz needs a canon ending for the next story in the password universe if Dave and his boyfriend returns as (side-) characters.












The true Ending fits Dean as character: MVP but NEVER LUCKY. 

i want to reboot my game so i can replay it without missing the route specific stuff or having to re-read the same day 6 times, how do i do that?

I think you delete your persistant save data and that should do it and make it so the skip button will still only skip things you have already seen unless you tell it to skip unsceen things.  I haven't done it before so i dont know the details.

tried that already

where's the Virgo medal?, i can't for the life of me remember

end of path A I believe

(1 edit)

i though that was scorpio, since Thanatos mentions that it was given to us by the one who started all this

(+3)

You're thinking of the one in the letter. Virgo is in the graveyard.

oh, i assumed that one was Sagittarius like in the end of path B, thanks for the clarification

See, that's the thing. Path G is not available on Tyson's route.

Yep there is one medal that is very difficult to find:

(Spoiler: you ruin your own acomplishment finding it yourself, if you take a peak.)










Gemini: Route Tyson - Path B!!

(+2)

It shouldn't just be there. Though the flag has been adjusted slightly, and a replay of that Path to troubleshoot, should fix it.

(+1)

Grizz edited Path B a bit so you might need to replay that in order for it to register Gemini.

There's a Path G??

Opinion/Review: [no talk about endings!]

[Spoiler, duh]


Dean was my first Route and it kept my investesd quite alot. After his day 6  i wrote down every sus word that i was reading. So the password mechanic also forces the reader to read carefully. That's quite unique.

I totally like movies with timeloop style mechanics and Password did a great job in writing to keep me engaged with my favorite Characters. 

The emotional highlights are the Appearance of David and when the other cast finally opens up about their past including dave resulting in the wonderful group-hug at day 15. Dave death on day 24 path A was a similiar succesful moment. This only works bi cared about the characters. They are clear cut with their strenght and weaknesses and got a very relatable personality (although overdramatic sometimes). 


From Emotion to OPINIONS: I am not a writer or creater, just a gamer. 

So i go straight to OPINIONS and potential ideas for improvement. Mostly Character and also the "timeloop". I also highlight example i still don't fully understand.


Dave and Dean:

I put them together as Deans solutions of a character are partially related to Dave.

Dave is very likeable. He is afraid and sometimes helpless, but unlike the Hero of Adastra (or even Echo)he isn't a totally helpless/useless bi***. 

However he is sometimes inconsistent. Sometimes he is rather too dense and too passiv, other times he is clever. On the early bad endings Dave left his friends with Tyson and later endangerd Benson (if Sal isn't present); loosing a bunch of sympathy by/from the reader.

While on Path A/B he takes matters in his own hands more often. It's explained in the story through his dream and talk on the sunrise, still seems a little bit aprupt.

The second problem with Dave: Dean or someone else: "how are you Dave?" Dave: "I am fine." It repeats itself too often for my taste. And Deans Character suffers the most of it. 

Dean is established as the "nsfw-playful" + care-bear of the group. The players gets more information about Dean by not playing Deans-Route. The moments of Dave's "I am fine" excuses can be used as oppertunity for Dean to get more and more brave to push Dave a little bit more (exspecially after day 15).

Maybe Dean can try to make Dave comfortable with small story of his family life or wisdom he inherited from his grandparents or family-workplace - among other things. 

Or the other way around: When Dean comes up with an lude joke or takling point, Dave may start to tease him back and go into smalltalk, nostalgia or striaghtout tells them what he likes about him or others - whatever fits Deans and Daves Character.

Having more part of Dialog for Dean may also help to improve his other Role: being one of the main-Suspects behind the incidents at the mansion. Nyz Cait: " I still don't trust this bear!" A role Dean shares with Hoss. 

Dean mostly sus for overly caering about Dave that it almost seem weird while the player barely get to know Dean or his motives. Rather late Dave is finally asking Dean what he likes about him in the first place. But i cannot recall what Dave likes about Dean except his honey+earth scent and his biceps (Tyson Route). 

Maybe an idea in the far future: The option to push Dean into the friend-zone on his own Route because Dave cares more about Tyson or Roswell, while also an option on the Hoss, Roswell + Sal Route to reject any of them and pursue/ go back to the Dave + Dean Romance instead and slightly changing the end of the path.

In general both Dave and the other Character would profit if Dave reveals more often what he like about them. It's important to know for the reader why he was dating Dean in the first place also also why he is willing to brak up with Dean.

Hoss: There is hardly any negativ i can recall about this character. 

His ark went pretty smoothly. Maybe too smoothly as his Route felt like a vacation compared to the overall drama within the group. So enough room to improve his "Suspect" Role. He already got that role mostly because of his personallity and traits, being able to lie and detect lies without effort and natuarel charisma + the ECm incident.

Still the Hoss Romance felt the most forced (including the Dean Relationship) for me. Hoss and Sal are the people Dave barely know anything about. So both may profit from an Option for Dave to put them into the friendzone (and go for Dean or Tyson relationship). Dave was just curious about them and want to spend some time before the great breakup.

Sal: One of the best Route. Clear Personallty + troublesome past.  

I played his Route the last because;  a) I am not into scale at all  b) His first impression being rather slow/sloth character  c) his second imprission as of violent brute. Punshing Dean on his nose for no good reason.  Luckly his Route was a pleasent surprise.

Roswell: My least favorite Route. I like Roswell as the nerd of the party making him a good sidekick. But as Relationship i barely spend time on his Route. It was also the only Route that i stopped reading and switched to another Character. He is slightly confused in his relatioship with Dave, like Tyson; but his talk about Death (heavy topic) followed by  his gluttoney/sweettooth rubbed me the wrong way.

While Tysons past and therefore his behaviour is a drama in itself, talking with Roswell barely lead to anything. Without playing the entire Novel atleast once, i could not appreciate the Roswell Dialog at all. After his illness is reaveled it finally makes sense but it's too heavy of a topic and Dave insisting to get back to this topic over and over again isn't helping, nor Dave or Roswell as Character.

Maybe the Roswell + Dave combo should simply spent more time with the group and less Dialog between just the two. Maybe make the magic show happen. 

Olando: the second Route it played. I was mostly intrested in his vision of the vault and his family. His Route was fine, but Orlando reluctance in the investigation among other thing was sometimes tireying. Dialog sometimes repeat itself. His secrecy is also kinda a pain. Just like Dean he needs a little bit more dialog.

In contrast his fear of the supernatural has been amusing. I liked his Relationship with Dave; it's innocent and was most naturel and believable romance that could end up in a breakup between Dean and Dave.

Tyson: I could write several pages about him so i rather keep it short, because i got mixed feeling about his Character and Route. His Interactions with Dave are the most "edgy", sometimes forcing the reader/player to re-asses his opinion about Tyson and Dave. 

His Character is potentially the most fleshed out: It's clear right early what made him the way he is. Being left behind or abused by his parents, resulting into copy this behaviour being a bully and absuer himself. Poor guy. A good Route with a great Character.


That's it for now. For the Endings, i write on patreon or discord.

(+1)

Panicking, sweating and crying... just whyyy?? After playing twice already, i was hunting down answers now on how to save all of them cuz i dont want someone to die;(

On the other hand, i love this vn cuz its uniqueness and how much this mystery got into me. 

Also me hoping havin updates on how to save em all cuz i ain givin up 

(5 edits)

I just finished the patreon version and all the Endings.  So good.  I am gonna write Grizz a small review/opinion-piece this weekend. This Novel is absolutly worth it. IMO Password is the new top-tier among Furry-Novels.

 

(+1)

That's incredibly flattering but Password has its flaws that make it top-tier questionable. At least insofar as its current state. After I've had a good shot at editing it down and cleaning some stuff up, then we can see.

its 9/10 for me, but just barely, it's this close of 10/10, and my 5th favorite FVN at the moment

I don't know why, but I'm really hoping that some unforeseen circumstance befalls Jack, and he just, I dunno... dies. Becomes roadkill. Something.
I'm also hoping that Dom redeems himself. ...Redeems himself further.

(+2)

I'm with you on both counts. Jack dying would make me happy. I hated him right from the very first time he showed up. Dom, though, I hope does something that redeems himself, and part of me has hope that he will just based on some of the flashes of events Dave has been forced to see with Dom actually there. Dom is a bit weird, but Jack is just plain creepy and needs to go... 

(+1)

Dom already redeemed himself, like, 20% when he decided to stick around with Dave in Path... uh, I think it was F? These paths confuse the hell out of me. I also kinda want Dom to become an anti-hero. Not quite on the side of the heroes (our protagonists), but also not on the side of the villains either. Wishful thinking, I know, but, like... I kinda want it to happen.

I'm more or less hoping something happens with him on Path A that shows he's more willing to help Dave. Dom just... doesn't seem like he belongs with Memphis.

Based on his interaction with Hoss, he's more fit to be something like a vigilante.

Yeah, I can kinda see that.

The anwser to that is .... complicated.

The sex scene ones aren't part of the gallery.

Sal route, B path, Android. Also kinda wondering why Florencia is "Florenica" all of a sudden.

Regardless, it's a great game. I can't express with words, how much fun i had reading through it. Dam', i even created account just to leave some feedback for this game.

Anyone know how not to get tysons bad ending? Doesent matter what i do i cant get past day 6 with him and I cant use The password thats supposed to save him

(+2)

You just use that password at the vault. Even if you use it before the day you're supposed to it will just say it's no used on that day. If it doesn't give you that message you've got the wrong password.

(+1)

this is one of the routes that just inputting the password won't do. there's also a certain choice you gotta make. iirc it's when he's going out into the woods

Does anyone know how to get path F I tried many things but i cant seem to get it.

(+2)

Be on path A, fail the password on day 17. The path will shift to F at the end of day 19.

Also can't be on Tyson's route since he can't get path F.

what is the new update anyway for this month 

Path B, the only path not done at this point is path A

I wonder what will happen next

(+1)

Well that is confusing my notifications showed new update but not yet

Same lol

it has been updated just with no dev log since the dev log was only one sentence

Very interesting end to things for the newest update... I guess that just leaves one path left...

Cuz i need em'?

Mk download something like "z archiver " and go to the vn then search around for the images folder and you got it do becareful tho there could be unreleased stuff ig

is there even a correct password for the vault?

Depends what day

Deleted 1 year ago

Depends on what path you want, pay attention to what is said during the days and it will hint the passwords

(1 edit)

To my understanding yes (to actually open the vault not just use it) but it is currently unobtainable.

Passwords on Day 1+2 cannot be solved so far.

Day3 is a bonus passwort, not relavant to the story.

Day 4-8: Can be solved, AFTER you experienced the bad ending at least once.

this was an actual mental rollercoaster... i want to take another ride lol.


when i was playing i was just living the "EMOTIONAL DAMAGE" meme

i love how in the info it says the average session is "A Few Hours" i was closer to 78Hrs into the game before i got to the "ending",  i count it to me reading slow and getting stuck on some of the passwords

How do i get path b for Dean?

(+2)

paths:- https://www.patreon.com/posts/on-topic-of-42690779

I followed what to do and I'm still getting path A 

(+1)

I keep trying this and keep on getting path A. I tried the other steps and only got path C. Are paths B/D hard to get or am i doing  other steps wrong?

(+1)

The only criteria to get on path B is that choice with Benson.







Choosing to Reveal Oz puts you on path B. With D and G becoming accessible through that.

If that's not working then it might be a bug?

I think it's bugged for me. i am going to delete and reinstall the vn

Path D can also happen if you choose to save sal in path C day 14

This will sound weird but does anyone have version a011? I'm curious about the days they were reworked and old audio files like "together" LMAO

Hey guys, I've got a question, it's a spoiler so I'll drop it down below but if someone could help me out a bit I'd really appreciate it.







so basically, the question was if anything other than the dialogue with Oswin right after is supposed to change after you put the password on day 11 on my second play through to figure out abt the word Oswin was going to show you. Path is still the same (A) and I'm not sure if it's gonna change the story all that much or not, just so I can move on to the other path and other character routes or not without missing bits of he story. Thanks!

(+2)

Right now i dont believe so, but Grizz will probably give a more definitive answer.

Fair enough,thanks a lot!

(1 edit) (+2)

Spoiler








I GUESS,

It's purely a plot counterweight for Dave of Route A vs B+D. Allowing Route A to be become stable/"main-route".

Dave has actually no real Reason to trust Oz in the first place; Oz accused one of Dave's friend being a potential murderer.  It's imo more realistic that Dave's trust into his friend would encourage him to reavel Oz on Day 8/9.

On Route B/D, Dave will uncover Oswins body, being stabed.  And on Route A we got the Day 11 password, that shows Oswin being alive. So with these two traumatic memories imprinted into the Dave of future interrations, Dave  will 99% choose not to reveal Oz. 

(+1)

U make a pretty good point, those are things I didn't really consider myself. Something else to think about as if there wasn't enough already hahaha. Thanks a lot for the reply!

spoiler 






















IM NOT LIKING HOW DEAN SHOOTING US HAS NOT BEEN BROUGHT UP FOR SO LONG....im literally screaming dont bring him along...how does dave not remember ??!

(+1)







probably because he didn't shoot him he just gave a very odd ''there you are'' response when he found his friend bleeding out and was just holding the gun.

(3 edits) (+1)

Spoiler and speculations

















Because there are also "vision" aka iteration with Dom being friendly and Dean already being Dave's boyfriend or even fience. So although the Gun in Deans hand should make Dave suspicious, Dave is still too naive towards his friend. Otherwise he would have solved Dean's, Orlandos and Bensons murder case quit earlier. 


Dean is suspect Number 1 on most murder cases (kinda framed by the master, like the hunting Knife in Hoss' chest or the big revolver in Bensons left hand, with Dean being the only  left-handed person in the group). 

Considering that Dean's Route is "unwanted" by the master, and filled with the master's mistakes to kill Dean at any cost -> I got the following hypothesis: That the outcome (and survival of certain characters) may even depend on Dean being romanced, Loyal or not. Or the opposite from the master's perspective instead the players: that Dean must die first (day10 - Route c/d/e).

I speculate that Dean has always been blackmailed by the Mafia to spy on Dave (and Orlando). Thanatos or his master already knew it all the time. Just as they knew that not making the trip to the mansion and David senior being alive will always lead to the death of everyone. So the vacation on the mansion is not only to "awaken" Dave's morphic resonance powers but also  to shift Dean's loyalty.  

Love this but in route B this is 100% debunked with Orlando asking Dean if he is working for Memphis after shit hits the fan. And the answer is no.

And i am relieved that Dean is not a traitor.

i just realized oswin and roswell are possibly related...unless it was mentioned and i forgot

My morning just got better

(+1)

Is there some kind of guide on how to get on each path? Cause I'm not smart enough to just big brain guess what passwords to say (or not say) on what days.

(+1)

it's rather simple, A/B depends if you tell on Oz, C/D are A/B but when you fail the next password, you may also get to E during C/D. F/G are again A/B but when you fail the password after that one.

Uh--

Same as the first time. If anything changes, you know you have more hunting to do.

Бенсону нужно более одного пароля. Каждый встречается в плохих концовках. Использование одного приведет к новой цепочке событий на 8-й день, а следующий пароль будет в новой цепочке событий.

В 7-м дне Хосса есть что-то, что помогает в 8-й день и позволяет избежать одного из паролей. Я думаю, что это происходит и на маршруте Орландо, но как только вы узнаете правильный пароль, он будет работать на каждом маршруте, 8-й день является универсальным.
