COMPLETE SERIES: The Crystal Garden Adventure With Chloe~! [Part 3/3] (Patreon)

You and Chloe the Barbarian hit the road after you tell her that she got she job! The Crystal Garden awaits, what kinds of treasures will you find? Can you complete your quest from your mentor? Can the two of you keep each other safe~?

Your votes were heard loud and clear~! Chloe beat Emily 80/20, which makes it one of the most one sided polls we've had in a minute. I'll talk about what Emily's run was going to look like in the spoilers section if you're curious~

It's done~! As per usual, it got away from me. I was shooting for 30min and it wound up being 40~! I want to finish up the month with something small, either a little audio with Emily or a super short intro to the next exclusive audio series~

There's another version of this audio attached where the background ambience is louder, and might sound better being played on speakers. It's called 'Crystal Garden LOUDER BGM.mp3'

SPOILERS AND WARNINGS BELOW:

Warnings (with spoilers): Nothing too crazy beyond the usual 'dungeons being dungeons' this time. There is an avalanche and the listener is trapped in a confined space but there are no descriptions about it. The listener is rendered (sort of) mute by magical means.

Selude Spoiler Thoughts: Chloe was so different for me both in terms of character and voice, and I'm really happy with the story moments she got. I think my favourite part with her was when she spoke to the unconscious listener, it was sweet. I like her swagger too~

Emily's run was going to be focused more on the flower part of the garden. (Chloe's route had more crystals.) And there was going to be a poem to interpret, I think. You'd have to around and pick flowers to make a bouquet that captured the spirit of the poem, or something. Chloe's route had more action for sure~!

If you've read this far I'm curious: Did you figure out the riddle before the characters~? If you did, when in the story did that happen~?

The computer I work on is not doing well with these long audios, I had a lot of crashes when trying to render, and at one point I lost SIX HOURS of work, jfc. I criiiiiied~

I think that's everything~? Thank you so much for listening~! I hope you had fun on your adventure~

XOXO
