This is gonna be pretty unstructured but whatever. So, in the spamton sweepstakes silence update, there was some sites regarding future chapters. I am going to be following mollystars' theory about specifically the the websites with the chapter links, as it seems to be accurate so far. The theory is that the applicable and not applicable for the chapter 1, 2, & 3 sites represent whether or not there will be weird route stuff, and that also applies to the color of the numbers in the chapter 5 site (white being applicable and black being not applicable) and the size suggests how much what you do will affect what happens in the story. That begs the question, why is chapter 3 so big? Other sites seem to suggest that what changes will occur from the sword route, but that hasn't really changed anything so far. You can still beat the knight without the mantle, and "beating" the knight doesn't really change anything. I have many ideas of what this could actually mean. One is the mantle will have more importance later on. It could also be less about the mantle itself, but how you obtain it, maybe John Mantle will have greater significance later on and you won't see that unless you do the sword route. It could also be that fighting the knight and obtaining the black shard has some significance, as it does more damage to the Titan and it's Spawn. Also, when you slay a Titan Spawn (something that the black shard is really good at) you become stronger. Maybe the shard will allow more weird route stuff to happen, this also supported by THE FACT NOELLE CAN EQUIP IT IF YOU MESS WITH THE FILES. Perhaps all of this is the case. Maybe none of it is idk. What do you guys think?
oh hey somebody else posted about this
that wasn't intentional
oh also this relies on the theory that Titan and Titan spawn will appear in future chapters, which I feel like there's a pretty good chance of that
ok final thing, here's the video I was talking about [
