Dream of Silence Act I Hints

Competitions IFComp
1

I played Dream of Silence Act I in Spring Thing. I wanted to replay it for this competition.

I originally had to play it 2-3 times to win. I came in to my replay fully confident I knew what to do.

I knew (or thought I knew) that Interacting with Astarion is what keeps him from getting hurt and dying. So this time my plan was to spend each day talking to him, touching his hand, then upping my stats.

But I died on the day that the nightmare came, because Astarion only had one health. Somehow, despite my efforts, on several days he lost 3, 4, or even 6 health.

So does anyone have any tips? It seems like what I thought was the way to keep him healthy was completely wrong, and I can’t really conceive of any other method.

I was able to finish act I with 2 health (gaining five at the end). This time I saved each day and tried to make his attitude not bored, then spending my existence points.

Hopefully 7 health is enough to start act II with!

Edit:

It looks like being extra nice to Astarion raises health in Act II. Maybe that was also possible in Act I but I didn’t find it?
