GOC

gardenofchallenge.partingofworlds is a visual novel game being written by series co-creator Omelette. The game itself is currently on hiatus and a novel adaptation has been confirmed.

The story revolves around Chilli Cerise and 24 other people playing a Virtual Reality game created by Chio. Everything seems to go fine at first, but things start getting strange when some players are kicked out of the game due to an infiltration by Platinum Meritran, making it look like they were ‘killed’. Will Chilli, Cotton, and Chio be able to destroy the game before Platinum escapes and it’s too late?

Friendship points and endings
Friendship Points, also known as FP’s, are points earned by accepting tasks from certain characters. These characters are Chio, Cotton, Katara, Ara, and Arleana. Once you earn 4 friendship points with each character, you get their special ending. If you have 4 points with multiple characters or less than 4 points with all 5 people, you get the true ending, where Chilli, Chio, Cotton, and the real Candy all destroy the game and everything related to it in the HQ, creating the “sea of rubble” in the title of the track that plays during this cutscene.

Chio’s ending
If you reach 4 points with Chio, the game will end with Chilli and Chio at the train station. The train arrives, and after they board, they go on a trip to the West Mountains. During the credits, an animated GIF of Chio knitting and Chilli sleeping on their shoulder on the train plays.

Cotton’s ending
If you reach 4 points with Cotton, the game will end with Chilli, Cotton, and Mephlin in Cotton’s bedroom. Cotton switches on the TV and they all play a game together.

Ara’s ending
If you earn 4 points with Ara, the game will end with Chilli and Ara at Ara’s house. Ara turns the water in a glass on the kitchen table into different shapes and Chilli claps.

Arleana’s ending
