Real Angela’s playthrough 8 – Nightshade

Goals The main goal for playthrough 8 was to try a “solo” mode — sort of. I wanted to see if I could play most of the game with just one character. However, I still wanted to try out a romance I hadn’t done yet, and Minthara has been (im)patiently waiting her turn. She doesn’t show up…
