These are Felix's dialogues.

Don't You Want Me

Intro, Lakeside

(Approaching Felix's ruined apartment)

  • Friendly Guy: Watch your feet. You don't wanna trip on all the junk lying around here.

(Choice between "Where did this room come from?" and "What is this place?")

  • Friendly Guy: Most people fall out of the sky and land in the ocean here, right?
  • Friendly Guy: Not me. I dropped in here with all my stuff.
  • Friendly Guy: This was once my apartment... Give or take a couple of walls.

(Choice between "Why did that happen?" and "How did your whole apartment travel to New Wirral?")

  • Friendly Guy: Beats me! It does mean I've got all my old sketchbooks and artwork, though.
  • Felix: I'm Felix. Nice to meet you.

(Choice between "I'm <player>!" and "They call me... <player>.")

If current partner is Kayleigh:
  • Kayleigh: Hey, Felix! What're you doing out here?
If current partner is Eugene:
  • Eugene: Hey man! Is this where you've been hanging out? What are you doing out here?
If current partner is Meredith:
  • Meredith: Been a while since I saw you, Felix. What are you, uh, doing here, anyway?
If current partner is Viola:
  • Viola: And I am Viola of Messaline. Pray, what task has you toiling out here alone?
If current partner is Sunny:
  • Sunny: Nice to meet you, Felix...
  • Felix: I'm looking for something.
  • Felix: A lot of this stuff was wrecked when this whole place dropped out of the sky with me in it, and then the rain damage didn't help...
  • Felix: But there's something around here that I'm confident will be intact...
  • Felix: I knew it!

(Felix brandishes a round container.)

  • Felix: The seal is still intact, so hopefully no water got in.

(Choice between "What is that?" and "What's inside?")

  • Felix: It might be hard to explain...
  • Felix: Come swing by my place in West Harbourtown. Then I'll show you.

Quest Start, Felix's house

  • Felix: Oh hey. You came to hang out.
  • Felix: You wanna see what I rescued from the sad remains of my old place?

(Choice between "Sure!" and "Not now.")

If chosen "Sure!":
  • Felix: So, in my regular life I was a zote artist.
(Choice between "Zote artist?" and "A what?")
  • Felix: It's easier to show. Check this out:
(Felix opens the container and pulls out a thin tape, resembling a film reel.)
  • Felix: So this is a zote reel. You slot it into this zoetrope right here, then look through the slot.
  • Felix: The Zoetrope has a motor in it, so when I hit this button, it spins.
(Through the slot we see an animated picture of a masked cavalier, brandishing a sabre and saying "Arrête-toi!")
  • Felix: The row of the zote strip has the same image drawn over and over with variations.
  • Felix: When spun around, it animates and comes to life, right?
  • Felix: Then you can pull the lever to switch to the next row, for the next part of the story.
(The next row shows the same swordsman striking a dramatic pose as fog billows at their feet.)
  • Felix: You can tell a whole story, and bring it to life, just with drawings.
  • Felix: I've been obsessed with zotes ever since I was a kid.
  • Felix: They used to be very popular, though they've kind of fallen out of fashion.
  • Felix: It's more of a niche medium now. At least, where I am from, I mean.
  • Felix: Most zote stories are about heroes in the French Revolution, like the Scarlet Pimpernel, but ever since the big budget movie adaptations really took off there's been less interest in the source material.
  • Felix: I got into these stories as a kid, and couldn't shake my love for them.
  • Felix: I guess that's why I'm an artist now.
  • Felix: Right now I'm trying to come up with some new characters...
  • Felix: And it turns out, an island full of weird monsters is the perfect place to find inspiration!
  • Felix: Which means... you might be able to help me out.
  • Felix: I'm searching for a particular creature, and wanna get a good look at one.
  • Felix: I know you can find it in the Cherry Meadow. It's a warrior with a wooden sword.
  • Felix: Can you help me out here?
(Choice between "Sure!" and "Not now.")
If chosen "Sure!":
  • Felix: Cool! I'll mark it on your map for you.
(Felix is now your partner!)
If chosen "Not now.":
  • Felix: No worries. Come say hi if you change your mind.

Cherry Meadow

(After encountering Kirikuri)

  • Felix: That's it! OK, you fight it and I'll sketch it.

(After the fight, the monster steps back and prepares to lunge at Felix.)

  • Felix: Uh-oh...

(Just before impact, a mysterious winged catgirl appears and blocks the blow.)

  • Mysterious Catgirl: STOP, FIEND!
  • Mysterious Catgirl: A-and don't come back!
  • Felix: Who are...
  • Felix: Wait, are you...?!
  • Mysterious Catgirl: EEK!

(The catgirl disappears in a cloud of feathers.)

  • Felix: ...
  • Felix: Oh no.
  • Felix: Noooope. No.

(Choice between "Was that an Archangel?" and "Was that a monster?")

  • Felix: I...
  • Felix: I think my past is coming back to haunt me.
  • Felix: Let's go back to my place. Everything will become clear, I promise.

Felix's house

  • Felix: It has to be here somewhere, I...
  • Felix: Found it!
  • Felix: Here. This is my old sketchbook from when I was 12 years old.
  • Felix: It was in my apartment with me when I landed here, so I still have it.
  • Felix: Look on this page.

(On the page is a drawing of a purple catgirl with mismatched wings, wielding a kunai.)

  • Felix: Her name is Kuneko.
  • Felix: She was a character I made up as a kid.

(Choice between "Does she have angel wings?" "How come she has cat ears?" and "Is she a ninja?")

  • Felix: She's like, the daughter of an angel and a demon who was lost on earth and adopted by a mystical ninja clan....
  • Felix: When she became 21, she left her home on an epic quest to battle at four elemental altars and prove her worth as the greatest warrior in the land.

(Choice between "That's pretty cliche." "Aww, she sounds pretty cool!" and "Your art has definitely improved since then...")

  • Felix: I was going through an anime phase in middle school. Don't judge me!
  • Felix: I am FULLY aware of how lame this whole situation is!
  • Felix: I have NO idea how my low quality childhood drawing has become real.
  • Felix: But if Kuneko really is here in this world... I need to find her.
  • Felix: I need to get to the bottom of this.

(Felix leaves the house, only to discover that Kuneko is waiting for him by the door.)

  • Kuneko: ...
  • Felix: Oh. That was fast.
  • Felix: You saved me earlier... Do you know me?
  • Kuneko: I-I have never met you, but I feel a strong connection to you...
  • Felix: Oh, yeah, that figures.
  • Felix: I mean, I did create you.
  • Kuneko: I...
  • Kuneko: PLEASE FORGIVE ME!
  • Kuneko: I am so sorry for not recognizing you, creator!
  • Kuneko: Some time ago, I woke up in the meadow where we met, with nothing but my name on my lips and a quest in my heart.
  • Kuneko: I have no other memories, creator.
  • Felix: You really don't have to keep calling me "creator".
  • Kuneko: How about father?
  • Felix: That's, uh, not much better.
  • Kuneko: Master?
  • Felix: Nope.
  • Kuneko: ... Daddy?
  • Felix: ABSOLUTELY not.
  • Felix: Just... call me Felix.

(Choice between "Kuneko, you mentioned a quest?" and "What is your quest?")

  • Kuneko: I must find the four elemental shrines across this land, and defeat the beasts that guard them.
  • Kuneko: Only THEN will I prove my strength!
  • Felix: Man, I really couldn't have come up with a better storyline, could I?
  • Felix: Kuneko, you probably shouldn't go on this "quest". It's not real... I made it up for your backstory.
  • Felix: Not to mention, the creatures in New Wirral are pretty dangerous.
  • Kuneko: I know you don't think I have what it takes, creator...
  • Kuneko: Which is why I have no choice but to prove myself!

(Kuneko vanishes.)

  • Felix: This is all... really weird. It's not just me, right?

(Choice between "Yeah, this is pretty weird." and "About as weird as everything else on this island.")

  • Felix: I've created much less embarrassing characters since I was a kid. Why HER?
  • Felix: Either way, if she's only here because I invented her, I guess I feel somewhat responsible for her.
  • Felix: We should find these four "elemental altars" and make sure she's not putting herself in harm's way.

First altar

  • Felix: I guess these altars really are real. That figures.

(Kuneko magically appears.)

  • Felix: Kuneko!
  • Kuneko: I must prove my strength, creator...
  • Kuneko: By my pointy blade... show yourself, guardian!

(A Rogue Fusion appears atop the altar.)

  • Felix: C'mon, we should help her out.

(After the fight)

  • Kuneko: Thank you for your assistance, creator...
  • Kuneko: But I won't need any help on the next battle!

(Kuneko vanishes.)

  • Felix: She's still committed to this, huh?
  • Felix: Alright then. Let's find the rest.

Second altar

  • Kuneko: By the powers of the sun and moon conveniently shining at the same time...
  • Kuneko: Reveal yourself, guardian!
  • Felix: She's really getting into the role, here.

(After the fight)

  • Kuneko: To battle alongside you, creator...
  • Kuneko: I do not feel worthy...
  • Felix: Honestly, it's really no big deal...

(Kuneko vanishes.)

  • Felix: And... she's gone. We should try and find the next shrine.

Third altar

  • Felix: Wait! Kuneko...
  • Kuneko: By the power of fire and ice, making my passion for justice hot and cold at the same time...
  • Kuneko: Unveil yourself, guardian!
  • Felix: Let's move.

(After the fight)

  • Kuneko: You helped me again, creator...
  • Felix: I don't want you to hurt yourself!
  • Felix: You know...
  • Felix: You don't have to do this to impress me.
  • Kuneko: ...
  • Kuneko: I know what you really think of me, creator.
  • Kuneko: I know you're embarrassed you made me.
  • Felix: I... Uh...
  • Kuneko: I can tell by the way you look at me!
  • Kuneko: My quest isn't to impress you.
  • Kuneko: I know there's nothing I could ever do to make you proud of me!

(Kuneko vanishes.)

  • Felix: Oh, OK, now I feel pretty bad.
  • Felix: Maybe I phrased that badly.

(Choice between "Yeah." "Kinda..." and "I know you didn't mean it.")

  • Felix: I should find her and apologise.
  • Felix: She'll be at the final shrine, right?

Fourth altar

  • Felix: Kuneko, hey, um...
  • Kuneko: The deck of cards is shuffled! I've drawn my final hand... Straight flush!
  • Kuneko: Guardian, reveal yourself!
  • Felix: OK, let's help and THEN I can apologise.

(After the fight)

  • Felix: Kuneko, I...
  • Kuneko: I am just a forgotten thought, aren't I, creator?
  • Kuneko: An idea you had fun with once, before being discarded?
  • Kuneko: By the shining powers of earth, water, fire and air...
  • Kuneko: MY TRUE POTENTIAL IS REVEALED!

(Kuneko glows with an otherworldly light, and becomes an Archangel.)

  • Felix: She... united the four elements within herself...
  • Shining Kuneko: Do I still embarrass you, creator?

(During the fight)

  • Felix: I'm sorry... this is all my fault, <player>...
  • Felix: I want to survive, so I can make things right... That's all I want...
  • Felix: C'mon, I know together we can make things right!

(After the fight)

  • Felix: Kuneko... I'm really sorry.
  • Felix: I viewed you and all my other adolescent creations as embarrassing.
  • Felix: But we all start somewhere. If I hadn't imagined you, hadn't drawn you...
  • Felix: I wouldn't be the artist I am today.
  • Felix: I shouldn't pretend you don't exist, I should embrace you, and what you mean to me as an artist.
  • Kuneko: Y-you really mean that?
  • Felix: I do. Besides, you looked pretty cool to me just now.
  • Kuneko: CREATOR~~

(Kuneko bursts into tears and hugs Felix tight.)

  • Felix: OK, OK, calm it down a bit.
  • Kuneko: Sorry for trying to kill you just now, creator...
  • Kuneko: I mean, sorry, for trying to kill you, "Felix".
  • Felix: No worries! All is forgiven.
  • Felix: Kuneko, there's something I need to know...
  • Felix: How are you real? I don't get it.
  • Kuneko: ...I do not know!
  • Kuneko: But if you were to ask what I believe, then I would say...
  • Kuneko: Perhaps once you create something, it no longer belongs to you. Ideas change and grow of their own accord.
  • Kuneko: You are the artist, Creator Felix. You should know this more than I.
  • Felix: ...Huh. OK.

(Choice between "What are you going to do now?" and "Is your quest over now?")

  • Kuneko: I don't think I can join you both in your humble town... That is not my path.
  • Kuneko: Naw, I need to become my own person! I must follow my crystal heart wherever it leads me.

(Choice between "I wish you well!" "We'll miss you!" and "Is your heart actually crystal or is that a figure of speech?")

  • Felix: Well if this is where our paths diverge...
  • Felix: I'm thankful that I met you, Kuneko!
  • Kuneko: Farewell, Creator Felix.
  • Kuneko: And farewell also, Creator Felix's quieter friend.
  • Kuneko: Here - my power, gifted to you. I hope it reminds you of our times battling together.

(Kuneko gives the player a Kuneko tape.)

  • Kuneko: M-may our memories burn like beacons that illuminate our true paths forward!

(Kuneko vanishes.)

  • Felix: ...She really needs to work on her dramatic metaphors.
  • Felix: Well. This has been an interesting experience.
  • Felix: And I'm not just talking about us combining into one big monster. That was, um, new.

(Choice between "We prefer the term "fusion"." and "It was pretty cool!")

  • Felix: It made me feel a bit motion sick if I'm honest, but maybe next time I'll be ready for it!
  • Felix: C'mon - let's go back to my place so we can catch up. Besides, I have inspiration for a new sketch.

Relationship Level Scenes

Relationship Level 1

  • Felix: I think that whole adventure really lit a fire in me.
  • Felix: I want to draw more than ever. I want to create new characters...
  • Felix: I want to make a real good living with my art and work on my own terms, too.
  • Felix: So... I think I'm ready to go home.
  • Felix: That's what you're searching for, isn't it? A way back?

(Choice between "Yeah!" and "Among other things!")

  • Felix: A way out of here...
  • Felix: Folks in town say it's impossible...
  • Felix: But so are your childhood characters coming to life, y'know?
  • Felix: If you think there's a way, then I trust you.
  • Felix: You can count me in, no worries.
  • Felix: Oh, one more thing.

(Felix shows off a drawing of Shining Kuneko.)

  • Felix: Here's the sketch I told you I wanted to draw.

Relationship Level 2

  • Felix: So, something I said after we said goodbye to Kuneko...
  • Felix: About how this adventure lit a fire in me. Do you remember?

(Choice between "I do!" and "Uh, I think so?")

  • Felix: I was in kind of a creative rut before I was, like, dropped here.
  • Felix: For a long time I worked at a company making zote stories. Art, writing, the whole package.
  • Felix: I wasn't in charge but, like, it was my baby, you know? It wouldn't have happened without the blood and sweat I'd put in.
  • Felix: I waited for so long for my superiors to recognise my contribution, but they never did.
  • Felix: Instead they shuffled me around in the company, and distanced me from the stories and characters I'd been working on for so long.
  • Felix: They also made damn sure not to pay me what I was worth, either.
  • Felix: So... eventually I quit and tried to strike it out on my own.

(Choice between "Good for you!" and "Their loss!")

  • Felix: Heh, thanks. I appreciate it.
  • Felix: All the bitterness from my previous work made it hard to get into the mindset I needed to create art again.
  • Felix: So that's why I feel like I'm here in New Wirral for a reason.
  • Felix: Thanks for hearing me out, <player>.
  • Felix: I think I have an easier time talking to you about it on account of us having fused into a super monster.

(Choice between "That's right, we have indeed done that!" and "I suppose that does bring people together!")

  • Felix: Heh.
  • Felix: Anyway, I can't go back until we find your doorway out.
  • Felix: Shall we get back to the grindstone, then?

Relationship Level 3

  • Felix: Do you think that different worlds can have different... logics?

(Choice between "What do you mean?" and "In what way?")

  • Felix: Like, OK. The cassette tapes that record monsters... How do you think that works, exactly?

(Choice between "The cassette players are advanced scientific inventions." "The cassette players are enhanced with magic." and "I don't know!")

If chosen "The cassette players are advanced scientific inventions.":
  • Felix: I have thought of that... Which is why I asked Meredith to take a look inside one.
If chosen "The cassette players are enhanced with magic.":
  • Felix: I mean, is magic real here? I don't exactly see wizards flying around shooting spells at each other.
If chosen "I don't know!":
  • Felix: You and me both.
  • Felix: As far as I can tell, these cassette players are just regular old-fashioned cassette players. My old man used to have one that looked similar.
  • Felix: From what I've been told, the rangers found a bunch of them in the abandoned mall a few years back, and that's where the island's supply comes from.
  • Felix: So I guess that's why I ask if you think a world can have its own logic.
  • Felix: Maybe mundane items from our worlds can have different "rules" in this one.
  • Felix: What a concept! I'm definitely using that in my story.

(Choice between "Your story?" and "You're writing a new story?")

  • Felix: It's no big deal right now... Just some ideas I'm playing round with.
  • Felix: If it becomes something more substantial, I'll let you know.
  • Felix: Maybe we should get back to adventuring - it'll give me some more ideas, that's for sure.

Relationship Level 4

  • Felix: I've been thinking about what Kuneko said.
  • Felix: About how ideas grow on their own. It got me thinking...
  • Felix: All the monsters of New Wirral have been on my mind for a reason I haven't been able to really express until now.

(Choice between "What's up with them?" and "What do you mean?")

  • Felix: The monsters here have traffic cones on their backs, trash cans for bodies and televisions for heads...
  • Felix: Do you think images and myths we have can become so widespread that they can physically manifest as beings in other worlds like this one?

(Choice between "Sounds pretty fantastical." and "I buy it!")

  • Felix: If this process IS real, then maybe it's also not an exact science. Maybe it's chaotic, and unpredictable.
  • Felix: Maybe images and concepts can combine to create unusual results, or maybe sometimes the ideas that manifest into reality don't have to be widespread.
  • Felix: Maybe sometimes all it takes is a pencil sketch that a dork in Canada drew when he was a kid.
  • Felix: Maybe I'm starting to understand this world a bit more.
  • Felix: Cool. Shall we finish up here?

Relationship Level 5

(Note that the Outsider's pronouns change to match the player's. This example uses she/her.)

  • Felix: Hey, <player>.
  • Felix: I have something to show you - you want to come hang at my place for a bit?

(Choice between "Sure!" and "Not now.")

If chosen "Sure!":
  • Felix: I hope you'll like it!

(At Felix's home, the player and Felix are sat by a desk, staring at a zoetrope.)

  • Felix: OK, are you ready for this?

(An animated image of an armored knight appears in the zoetrope.)

  • Felix: This character is the Outsider - she's a knight who's travelled from her distant land to seek the challenge of the Jade Swordsman.
  • Felix: You see, the Jade Swordsman is an immortal machine from a long-dead civilisation who challenged the Outsider to a battle and won.

(A new image - the Outsider kneels before a larger, more imposing knight. The Jade Swordsman.)

  • Felix: The Outsider now must stick to her word to journey to the Swordsman's fortress and submit to execution, lest the Swordsman bring ruin to the Outsider's homeland.

(Choice between "That's sad for the Outsider!" and "Is there nothing the Outsider can do?")

  • Felix: The Outsider is quiet, but she's resourceful and determined. I don't think the Outsider intends to bow down to their fate so easily.

(The Outsider draws her sword and charges forward.)

  • Felix: It's a loose adaptation of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, which is a medieval story about a knight of King Arthur's court who makes a similar journey.
  • Felix: I don't know how my version will end just yet - I'll have to see where the story takes me.

(Choice between "Where the story takes you?" and "Aren't you in control of the story?")

  • Felix: Well, I create the characters, but who they are determines where the story goes.
  • Felix: I can't force an ending onto them. The decisions the Outsider makes is down to them.
  • Felix: And down to you of course. You're my inspiration after all.

(Choice between "What?!" and "In what way?")

  • Felix: C'mon...
  • Felix: The travelling hero from far away who's determined to fight their dead-end fate?
  • Felix: That's <player> all over.

(Choice between "You're a good friend, Felix!" and "You're such a hopeless romantic, Felix.")

If chosen "You're a good friend, Felix!":
  • Felix: Heh, no worries!
  • Felix: You're a cool warrior with a quest. They say write what you know, so of course I'm gonna write my cool adventuring buddy.
  • Felix: I have loads more sketches and character designs in mind for this story. You want to see them?
If chosen "You're such a hopeless romantic, Felix.":
  • Felix: I try my best. How did I do?

(Choice between "Asking me out on a date would have been easier." and "I see you as a friend.") Choosing "I see you as a friend." plays the previous "You're a good friend, Felix!" dialogue.

If chosen "Asking me out on a date would have been easier.":
  • Felix: I mean, the zote story wasn't a ploy just to get you to spend time with me.
  • Felix: I am actually going to write more of it.
  • Felix: But can you blame me for going all out? I like to put in effort where it matters.

(Choice between "That's pretty cute of you." and "You're such a dork.")

  • Felix: Like I said, I try my best.
If chosen "Not now.":
  • Felix: No worries. Another time, maybe.

Romance

  • Felix: You’re quieter than usual, <player>! Is there something on your mind?

(Choice between "I want us to be together." and "Nothing in particular!")

If chosen "I want us to be together.":
  • Felix: I…
  • Felix: I’ve had a couple relationships before, but honestly?
  • Felix: I’m normally the one making the big moves.
  • Felix: I’ve never been the one asked out before. This is unorthodox.
  • Felix: Oh, right.
  • Felix: You wanted an answer!
  • Felix: It’s “yes”, obviously.
If the player goes by he/him pronouns:
  • Felix: A mysterious guy wanders into my life one day, fights alongside me, literally merges with me in battle, and also he’s hot?
If the player goes by she/her pronouns:
  • Felix: A mysterious girl wanders into my life one day, fights alongside me, literally merges with me in battle, and also she’s hot?
If the player goes by they/them pronouns:
  • Felix: A mysterious person wanders into my life one day, fights alongside me, literally merges with me in battle, and also they’re hot?
  • Felix: I’d have to be a damn fool to say no.
  • Felix: There’s a high chance that if we do find a way back, we don’t actually come from the same world.
  • Felix: You’ve never heard of “zotes”, and I’ve never heard of your “comic books.”
  • Felix: But even if we are eventually gonna have to say goodbye…
  • Felix: I want to share this story with you. For as long as it lasts.
If chosen "Nothing in particular!":
  • Felix: My bad. I should appreciate when someone is just having time to themselves.

Campsite and Gramophone Café Conversations

  • Felix: You wanna hear something kinda weird?
  • Felix: I used to have a scar on my upper arm right here. I fell into a chain fence as a kid and cut my arm real bad.
  • Felix: It's not there anymore. Ever since I arrived here at New Wirral.
  • Felix: I... I don't know what that means... I just thought it was interesting.
  • Felix: Will it come back if I get to go back home? It makes me wonder.


  • Felix: So let me get this straight...
  • Felix: You don't have "zote strips" where you're from? But you DO have something called "comic books", which you think are stylistically similar?

(Choice between "Yeah!" and "I guess that's about right.")

  • Felix: But these "comic books" of yours don't animate at all? They're just printed on paper, and you just look at them?
  • Felix: That sounds pretty weird to me, but I'll take your word for it!


  • Felix: Maybe I should start documenting more of the monsters on this island in my notebook.
  • Felix: Maybe if I get to go home, I can use my notes as proof that I really WAS on an island populated by monsters.
  • Felix: Though I suspect my chances of anyone believing me are slim to none.


  • Felix: Being here on this island reminds me of being in my hometown.
  • Felix: Is that weird? I mean, there weren't any monsters where I grew up.
  • Felix: But that sense of longing to move on and escape, but not being able to...
  • Felix: Not to say that I don't love hanging out with you and the others, but...
  • Felix: There's a big world out there. Many different worlds, it turns out. I want to see as much as I can.


  • Felix: I don't know if you've noticed, but a lot of folks in New Wirral aren't outsiders like you and me.
  • Felix: Their parents and grandparents washed up here, sure, but this island is all they've known.
  • Felix: I wonder how that must feel, to be surrounded by people who are lost in the only place you've ever known home... and to then grow up hearing about worlds you'll never get to visit.
  • Felix: Maybe they feel just as stuck here as we do.


  • Felix: Hey, have you ever eaten butter tarts?
  • Felix: I should totally make you some! I'm pretty sure I could source all the ingredients here...
  • Felix: Well, raisins might be a bit hard to come by, but if you ask me? That's for the best.


  • Felix: Hey, you should let me draw you sometime! Figure drawing is an important skill for artists to master.
  • Felix: Human anatomy is really hard to get right.
  • Felix: Especially hands. I still struggle with drawing hands.


  • Felix: Maybe there are some good lessons to be learned from life in Harbourtown.
  • Felix: I mean, there's not exactly a bustling nightlife, but...
  • Felix: The whole town relies on each other, so no one is really left behind.
  • Felix: There's enough food to go round, but not so much that anything goes to waste.
  • Felix: It's cut off from human civilisation, but still manages to get by.
  • Felix: It's... pretty impressive when you think about it.


  • Felix: You know, being stranded on an island covered in monsters, away from my friends and family...
  • Felix: It should be an unimaginable situation... but I'm finding myself adjusting pretty well.
  • Felix: I guess even if the world was ending, we'd still find ways to get through the day, wouldn't we?
  • Felix: People are weird like that. Myself included.


  • Felix: The new zote story I'm cooking up... I think I've really landed on something that works for it.
  • Felix: However, I need to be sure it's the best story I can do. I don't know for sure I'll get another chance, after all.

(Choice between "What do you mean?" and "Why wouldn't you get another chance?")

  • Felix: Who knows! Maybe I'll lose my touch. Maybe I'll get trapped on another island. Maybe the world will end.
  • Felix: I always try to treat the project I'm working on like it could be the last thing I ever create. That making it might be my lasting legacy on the world.
  • Felix: I can't be sure it won't be, after all.


  • Felix: I think I'm on a pretty good creative streak at the moment. I'm pretty happy about it!

(Choice between "You're a pretty cheerful guy!" and "You're always in a good mood!")

  • Felix: Huh... you really think so?
  • Felix: I try to have a good perspective on things.
  • Felix: After I quit my job, I was pretty angry. It's easy to let a bad experience like that turn you bitter.
  • Felix: Spite can only motivate you for so long, though. I'm trying to have a more positive outlook on life.
  • Felix: Besides, this island is too weird to take seriously. What's the point in letting it get you down?


  • Felix: One of the ranger captains was recently asking me about what life was like for me before I "landed here".
  • Felix: They were born and raised on this island and haven't known anywhere else. Their parents met after washing up here.
  • Felix: They wanted to know about things like trains, shopping malls, and sports teams...
  • Felix: A whole bunch of basic stuff that I guess I never considered someone here might grow up not knowing about.
  • Felix: I suppose life isn't complicated here, but at least people can still grow up happy.

Campsite

  • Felix: Being out here with only a fire to warm us... it reminds me of summer camp!
  • Felix: ...Or it would, if I ever went to summer camp. Which I didn't.
  • Felix: But this is pretty close to how I imagined summer camp would be like as a kid... so I'm happy.


  • Felix: Do you think the monsters round here are afraid of fire? I've noticed that they don't seem to attack us whilst we're camping out.
  • Felix: Or maybe...
  • Felix: Maybe it's just bad monster etiquette to attack humans when they're resting!

After romance

  • Felix: Before I came here, I never would have guessed that my next relationship would involve so many campfires.
  • Felix: Life can really throw something unexpected at you now and then, huh?
  • Felix: I'm not complaining. I like camping out here with you.

After completing Don't You Want Me

  • Felix: I hope Kuneko is doing OK.
  • Felix: It must be weird to be told that your whole life was a creation of some dorky artist.
  • Felix: Wait! What if we're all just created by someone else in the same way?
  • Felix: ...No, I think I'm overthinking it.

After completing I Ran So Far Away

  • Felix: Oh, I heard about what happened with you, Kayleigh and those weird cultist guys.

(Choice between "You did?" and "Oh yeah, that...")

  • Felix: They had some charismatic leader who wanted to gain an Archangel's power, or something, right?

(Choice between "Something like that." and "That's the short version.")

  • Felix: I hope they're all OK. It can't be easy to go through all that, especially on New Wirral.

After completing Take Me On part 4

  • Felix: Hey - congrats on becoming a ranger captain, <player>!
  • Felix: You're gonna have a lot of jobs to do, now. I hope you're still gonna have free time to hang out!

(Choice between "Of course!" and "I hope so!")

  • Felix: Heh. I hope so.

After discovering Night's Bridge Station

  • Felix: If that big gateway does actually lead us off New Wirral, maybe I need to start thinking about packing my stuff.
  • Felix: Can I take all my sketches back with me? Will they travel? I hope so!

After defeating Aleph Null

  • Felix: That big fight on top of the train was pretty rad, huh?
  • Felix: I'm slowly trying to parse all the information we have around the "Archangels".
  • Felix: The one with the triangle head - Aleph - he said something that stood out to me as crucial information.
  • Felix: He said that we humans "manifest" them from our most prevalent thoughts, and that in turn they'd travel to our worlds to act out our fantasies.
  • Felix: Do you think it's true? Do you think Aleph visited our worlds in the ancient past? We're not even from the same worlds, so how does that work?
  • Felix: Is the true role of mankind to develop ideas and imagine things that then become real in other worlds? Or am I just overthinking all of this?
  • Felix: It starts to make your head spin, doesn't it?

(Choice between "I didn't know you were such a detective!" and "I didn't realise you were paying attention to all of this!")

  • Felix: It just seemed pretty important to keep track of all this stuff, I guess.

  • Felix: I'm generally pretty confident in our chances, but I think this place might be too dangerous for us right now.

Near a destructible rock when you have Bulletino Dash unlocked

  • Felix: That rock looks pretty damaged. I'd bet that you could shatter it by hitting it fast enough.

Near a magnetic pylon with Electromagnetism unlocked

  • Felix: Y'know, I think you could use your magnetism ability near that pylon, <player>.

Near the gravestones in Aldgrave Tomb Station

In Glowcester Road Station

  • Felix: These mushrooms are neat! I should sketch them.

In Falldown Mall

  • Felix: It feels pretty strange to be in a building this big on New Wirral.

Near the battery-activated switch that reveals Cherry Cross Station

Outside of Glaistainbury Abbey

In Cast Iron Shore

On Brokenhead

Near the sticker merchants in Harbourtown

  • Felix: Oh cool, new monster stickers.

On the pier in Harbourtown

On the western part of Harbourtown Beach

On the bridge in New Wirral Park

  • Felix: This bridge is pretty cute, don't you think?

On the narrow path in the Southern Isles

  • Felix: This path is kinda narrow. Don't fall off!

In Cherry Meadow

  • Felix: The air smells pretty pleasant here, doesn't it?

In Eastham Woods

  • Felix: I bet there's some monsters here that don't live anywhere else.

In the Marshes

  • Felix: The trees here are pretty big, huh?

In Mt. Wirral

  • Felix: I should have brought a coat with me...

In New London

In the player's house, after romance

  • Felix: Your place is pretty spotless! I hope you didn't clean up just for me.

Character Interactions in Gramophone Café

Felix and Kayleigh

  • Kayleigh: Hey, I have a question for you, Felix! I know you draw cartoons, but do you also design tattoos?
  • Felix: I can’t say I have! Are you looking to get inked?
  • Kayleigh: Hmm. I think I like the idea of getting a tattoo in theory.
  • Kayleigh: But in reality, I think I’m just too indecisive. I couldn’t possibly make such a permanent decision.

Felix and Eugene

  • Eugene: ...So you quit your job, because your bosses kept screwing you around?
  • Felix: Pretty much. It’s more than that, though. If I went to work somewhere else, I’d just have another boss giving me orders.
  • Felix: The only way to break the cycle is to work for myself. No more bosses.
  • Eugene: Yeah! That’s the spirit! No more bosses – live on your own terms, man!
  • Felix: Though my career plans have hit a roadblock recently. I think it happened after I fell through time and space and ended up living on monster island.
  • Eugene: It happens to the best of us!

Felix and Meredith

  • Meredith: ...My music tastes?
  • Felix: Yeah! What did you used to listen to back in your world?
  • Meredith: That’s a broad question. I like bands where all the members hate each other.
  • Felix: That’s very specific.
  • Meredith: I’m a very specific person.

Felix and Viola

  • Viola: Surely, Felix, you have longed for freedom upon the seas? To sail to lands that are not yet even a splinter upon the horizon?
  • Felix: Well, finding freedom in my life is important to me, but sailing the seven seas isn’t entirely what I have in mind.
  • Felix: Working for myself and living on my own terms, though? That sounds pretty good to me.
  • Viola: Perhaps you would also find fulfilment on the sea. You will never truly know for sure without setting sail!
  • Felix: I suppose not!

Felix and Barkley

  • Felix: You pack a loud bark for such a small package, don’t you?
  • Barkley: Arf!

Felix and Sunny

  • Sunny: ...You want to draw me...?
  • Felix: Yeah! Your story is pretty inspiring, after all. You escaped your previous life as a corporate drone to be your own person. I could totally base a character on you for the story I’m writing.
  • Sunny: I... that’s very kind of you. I would be honoured for you to draw me, Felix...
  • Sunny: Though I must request that my clothes stay on for the drawing process.
  • Felix: Don’t worry, I’m not that kind of artist.

Felix and Frankie

  • Frankie: ...So if I provide you with a character description, do you think you could draw them for me?
  • Felix: Sure! Just tell me what your character looks like, and I’ll get back to you with it.
  • Frankie: OK, they’re like, imagine a werewolf, but wearing a business suit. No wait, it’s more like a tuxedo... And his fur colour is-
  • Felix: Uh, how about you write down some notes for me instead?

Mer-Line station and Archangel encounters

Station and platform reactions

Entering a station for the first time

  • Felix: Wait, is this a train station?! No-one in town ever mentioned this... do the people here not know about this?

Entering a station for the second time

  • Felix: These train stations give me the creeps. I feel like we're not meant to be here...

Entering a station for the third time

  • Felix: Yet another ancient train station. Something must have happened to cause these to emerge recently, right?

Entering a station platform for the first time

  • Felix: Oh man, what's that noise? I don't mean, like, a noise you can hear. It's like there's something wrong with the air...
  • Felix: This place feels really bad to be in...

Entering a station platform for the second time

  • Felix: There's that presence again. It makes the hairs on the back of my arms stand up.
  • Felix: It's really hard to think here.

Entering a station platform for the third time

  • Felix: Once again, it's that really bad feeling in the air. I'm kind of used to it at this point, at least.
  • Felix: ...Nah, I've changed my mind. I don't think I'll ever get used to this.

Archangel reactions

Encountering an Archangel for the first time

  • Felix: I-I've never seen anything like this... what's going on, <player>...?
  • Felix: This must be an Archangel...

Encountering an Archangel for the second time

  • Felix: Another Archangel! Just looking at it takes some courage. My whole body is screaming at me to turn away.
  • Felix: It's hard to explain, but it looks askew, doesn't it?

Encountering an Archangel for the third time

  • Felix: I'm never gonna get used to the feeling of seeing an Archangel...

Encountering Poppetox

  • Felix: I don't know if this guy has our best interests at heart.

Hitting Poppetox's effegies

  • Felix: Huh. It moves before our attacks even hit it. We gotta think smart - there's gotta be some way to tell which way it's gonna move next...

Defeating Poppetox

  • Felix: Did he make... dolls of us? I don't think I'll sleep easy after that fight, that's for sure.

Encountering Heckahedron

  • Felix: Perhaps this one won't try to attack us. What do you think?

Defeating Heckahedron

  • Felix: Next time we meet an Archangel, I'll just assume it wants to kill us straight away.

Encountering Alice

  • Felix: Are we supposed to know who you are...?

Defeating Alice

  • Felix: Do you think that Archangel really wanted our heads, or do you think it was a turn of phrase? Actually, don't answer that. I don't want to know.

Encountering Lamento Mori

  • Felix: I feel like this doesn't bode well for us.

Defeating Lamento Mori

  • Felix: That was... unpleasant.

Encountering Babelith

  • Felix: As much as I'd love to "embrace ignorance", I've got stuff to do.

Defeating Babelith

  • Felix: That Archangel was a pretty big fan of talking nonsense, huh? At least we got it to shut up.

Aleph retrospectives

Seeing Aleph for the first time

  • Felix: Have you ever seen that guy with the triangle head before? Because I certainly haven't. Pretty weird, huh?

Seeing Aleph for the second time

  • Felix: So that's twice now that the triangle head guy has appeared, right? There's something going on there, but I don't know what.

Seeing Aleph for the third time

  • Felix: The triangle head guy seemed to remember you this time, <player>.

Seeing Aleph for the fourth time

  • Felix: What did the triangle guy mean when he said he wanted to have a "proper talk" with you? He sounds civil but I don't trust him one bit.

Seeing Aleph for the fifth time, after completing the intermission

  • Felix: So, Aleph appeared again to help bail out the Archangel we fought. What is he gathering them for? Is he trying to find a way to leave New Wirral?

Seeing Aleph for the fifth time, before completing the intermission

  • Felix: That triangle guy was back again to help bail out the Archangel. Is he recruiting them?

Seeing Aleph for the sixth time, after completing the intermission

  • Felix: When Aleph appeared earlier, his tone of voice was very familiar. It was like he was giving the Archangel we fought a job offer...

Seeing Aleph for the sixth time, before completing the intermission

  • Felix: That triangle guy... he's an Archangel too, right? Or something like that...

Seeing Aleph for the seventh time, after completing the intermission

  • Felix: Aleph said that our world has legends based on him. I don't trust a word he says, but I have the feeling he might be telling the truth this time...

Seeing Aleph for the seventh time, before completing the intermission

  • Felix: That triangle guy said that our world has legends based on him. What did he mean, exactly?

Seeing Aleph for the eighth time, after completing the intermission

  • Felix: We won the battle, but Aleph was there once again. We should be careful, <player>.

Seeing Aleph for the eighth time, before completing the intermission

  • Felix: What do you make of that triangle guy, <player>? I'm working on some theories...

Seeing Aleph for the ninth time, after completing the intermission

  • Felix: Why is Aleph recruiting Archangels, anyway? What is he going to do, put together a band?

Seeing Aleph for the ninth time, before completing the intermission

  • Felix: So that triangle guy IS recruiting Archangels. What is he going to do, put together a band?

Here Comes The Sun

(Conversing with Helia)

  • Felix: Then the Rogue Fusions...?
  • Felix: Can you at least stop making more "wonderful beasts"?

(After being told about The Mer-Line)

  • Felix: Oh. The railway is behind all this?

(After meeting The Mer-Line)

  • Felix: Do you think they’re telling the truth? About our worlds needing us?

Pier of the Unknown

Night's Bridge Station

Magikrab's Gauntlet

(When encountering Felix)

  • Felix: This is getting weirder by the second...

(When encountering Kuneko)

  • Felix: There's no escaping you, Kuneko!

(When Felix is on his own)

  • Felix: What've I gotten myself into now?

(When Felix is the first fighter in a pair)

  • Felix: Alright, I guess we gotta fight them. How about you take the lead on this one?

(When Felix is the second fighter in a pair)

  • Felix: Sure, let's go with your plan.
