Siffrin's position and face in the cutscene, along with his profile, changed in Act 3... It also goes from "It's you!" and "The Traveler" to "It's you." and "The Wanderer"... #ISATBookClub

000

It seems my next goal now is to help my allies! Mirabelle with her papers! Odile with finding a Familytale! Bonnie with guessing their favorite foods! Isabeau with a big thing saved for after I help everyone else! #ISATBookClub

000

Mirabelle's the one who suggests we all see each other for whatever bothers us, yet she becomes dodgy with those papers she has every loop... Noted for future reference. #ISATBookClub

000

Loop is still snickering. Hm... Results inconclusive until further notice..? #ISATBookClub

000

And now, my favorite Loop chat is unlocked! "Who, or what, do you think I am?" Last time on my first playthrough, I picked "Part of the Universe". This time, I'll pick "Me." #ISATBookClub

000

After talking it through carefully with Loop and making new plans to follow new paths (such as talking to the King when we face him again), Siffrin is ready with his new goal: to break the loops! #ISATBookClub

000

AH, so Loop KNEW it would loop back to the start... "So happy and innocent and stupid!" #ISATBookClub

000

In addition, Siffrin insists on keeping it a secret from his party... Now, at THIS point, I'd immediately cave in and tell Mirabelle about the loop, trying my damnest to make sure she believes me... But nevertheless, let's-a go! (2/2)

000

Last time, we defeated the King! Unfortunately, it was a short time after that we learn... that time automatically loops once we reach the end. It's not a blessing... It's a curse (DUN DUN DUNNN)!!! So, we shall rendezvous with Loop and get to the bottom of this! (1/2) #ISATBookClub

I am back to playing In Stars and Time for the Book Club on Siffrin's birthday, moving on to all of Act 3! #ISATBookClub

This has been Darklink, the average guy who enjoys liveblogging and just sharing my thoughts and experiences, signing off for a while until I eventually start up Act 3! Shout out to InsertDisk5 for creating such a well-crafted and well-written game, and I look forward to continuing more. 💙 (4/4)

000

loops, up until the end of Act 2, have been treated as a special power and way to go back and adapt to certain quests and events with only you and Loop remembering... ...But now that it's revealed that it happens at the end, it shall now leave Siffrin to figure out how to break the loops. (3/4 lol)

up the player to the main mechanics, characters, and setting throughout the entirety of Dormont and the House leading up to the King. It strikes a great blend of complex and simple at the same time for the average player to get accustomed to the game for later acts. I also love how the (2/3)

SO! This concludes my In Stars and Time Book Club replay of Act 2! I will continue on to Act 3 sometime early in September! But now, here is my perspective on Acts 1 + 2: The early game, despite its supposed simplicity and drawn-out tutorials, really does a great job at setting (1/3) #ISATBookClub

Everything's perfect! What a nice ending! ...It's so good, we could just do it all over again from the beginning! Hahaha! Something's broken, failing, rotting...!!! Someday, he might learn to forgive ttttttt------ #IsatBookClub

000

And so, the Housemaiden has fulfilled her duty to save the country with her power. Isabeau wanted to say something to Siffrin, but Bonnie interrupted. ...eh, probably nothing! Bonnie will return to Bambouche to see their sister again. Odile will return to Ka Bue, and she smiled at Sif! And Sif-

100

Poor Odile... She's scared of heights... Anyways, the Head Housemaiden, Euphrasie! Ah, despite what everybody believes, the Change God didn't give Mirabelle the power to save the country, but the Head Housemaiden did. Mira was the only right choice! Now to talk to everyone! #ISATBookClub

000

We won! The King is dead, and all of Vaugarde is saved! Now we just need to talk to the Head Housemaiden so it can all end! #ISATBookClub

000

I GOT HIM FIRST TRY! I didn't even need the Bomb or the Keyknife! #ISATBookClub

000

Alright... Now we finally fight and defeat the King once and for all!!! #ISATBookClub

001

Read the last issue of "The Cursing of Chateau Castle", and Mirabelle, the series' biggest fan, is shocked by this revelation of the hero... I get the feeling it will come back later as something to compare it to in their real world... ;) #ISATBookClub

000

Jeez... And then they just completely break down and start shouting at Sifrin saying they hate them repeatedly... until Siffrin suddenly loops as his stomach and heart sink. (2/2)

000

Oh! I got THIS optional event already! This happened to be the last special optional event I got in my original file. Now it's my FIRST here... (1/2.) #ISATBookClub

100

Mirabelle has learned the Carrot Method in the Secret Library! Now we can face the King anytime and have a chance at winning! Though I really want that Keyknife and Bomb first and foremost... #ISATBookClub

000

Oof... This secret (saying all three openphrases at the locked door): Reminds me vaguely of Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask and how some NPCs respond to the impending apocalypse of that game. #ISATBookClub

000

HOLY SHIT, SHE TALKED SOME MORE?! I didn't realize I was fishing THAT much! ...Oh. She says that when the King arrived, not only did he freeze many people and places, but fish as well. That's why fishing has become so hard here. #ISATBookClub

000

Well, uh, with THAT out of the way, the general message and objective now is to do everything again, clear some sidequests, find a way to counter the King's excruciating power, and kill him once and for all. Easy! :D #ISATBookClub

000

OH SHIT HE DID *NOT* LIKE BEING CALLED THAT Welp, guess this is the end... Good thing we can loop back and not stay dead or frozen or whatever he's gonna do to us. #ISATBookClub

000

And now we fight for the fate of the country! Holy shit, Siffrin JUST BARELY outsped him this turn lmao. He's quite the thicc boy, though, isn't he? It may take a while to get him to even half his health. :( #ISATBookClub

000

His view that freezing the entire country in time being a form of change is so bull. It *is* in itself, but change can obviously never happen ever again past that. He deserves to be called out for his bull. Also, ooh mama! Wonder what he could mean! Surely he doesn't remember loops! #ISATBookClub

000

Now, we finally face the King! God, I have such a complicated thought process towards him... Such a great villain. "Those blinding Master Builders, Bright One....... Always making weird stuff and ruin my perfectly good stuff...... Oooooooh......." #ISATBookClub

000

OMG NOW THAT MIRABELLE IS CHEERED UP WE HAVE THE MALANGA FRITTERS SCENE!!! This was my PFP for a whole week when I first saw this Siffrin portrait lmao. #ISATBookClub

000

Ah yes, Claude... Mirabelle's roommate. And just earlier, Mira can describe how obnoxious and loud Claude was as her roommate, but she's still clearly devastated to see her frozen in time right here... And Claude was so loyal to the Head Housemaiden, too... #ISATBookClub

000

Good 'ol Six-Hands. I remember a strange bug that can sometimes occur where one of your disembodied hands would still be alive fighting us while you yourself are dead, which is NOT supposed to happen. Wonder if I'll get that again for the Book Club Replay... #ISATBookClub

000

I forgot about this scene and how much I love it. SIffy's so happy... We're getting so close!!! Getting so strong!!! That crabbing King won't know what hit him! And he's none the wiser of our great blessing to loop back in time as we please! #ISATBookClub

000

Change damn it, I haven't even seen the King yet lol. Last time I played ISAT, I reached this milestone early into Act 3. #ISATBookClub

000

The crafted mirror picture! Little scrunklies in one photo... #ISATBookClub

000

Mama Odie, you aren't just cute... You're in fact very hot. That's just a fact. #ISATBookClub

000

Okay how the fuck did Bonnie do over 1000 damage to this thing, even if it *was* a final blow lmao? They're stronger than what the entire party gives them credit for lol.

000

WOAH IT'S EXP.png!!! (not even kidding, that's its name in the files. It gives the most EXP out of any non-boss enemy) #ISATBookClub

100

Wha OH RIGHT LOOP MENTIONED THAT I WAS ALLERGIC AND I CAN'T EVEN LOOP BACK TO THE START OF FLOOR 3 HERE EITHER?! #ISATBookClub

000

A fish head amongst other snacks! Bonnie describes it as being very good, even from eating the eyeball. I wouldn't know, but I could probably trust a Master Chef Cooker's words on the matter. #ISATBookClub

000

WE WON! And *everybody* leveled up from that!

000

Double-Trouble! I remember using this Sadness specifically o get the 1000 Ways to Die achievement last year. Let's hope I don't die to it again, but on accident. #ISATBookClub
