I (Don't) Wani Forgive That Gator

描述
***FOR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE, PLEASE BE SURE TO DISABLE OTHER MODS***
Thumbnail by Sebek Fereh Rah


Olivia has just made her tearful confession of her subterfuge to Inco in the rain. But what happens when he finds he's unable (or unwilling) to forgive her?

Alternate telling of the chapter Art Contest Blues, with four to five hours of story and five different endings

A big, big thanks to the following for their help

Eugene, for the How to mod IWHTG! tutorial in the guides section. Very detailed instructions on how to mod without which I wouldn't have been able to do this

Soul Sound, whose video "How to MOD THAT SNOOT! Eugene linked to. Very helpful video for learning the basics of modding

Galovich, for the tutorial on uploading mods to the workshop

Greater Rasin. Poking around Rasin's mods helped alot. I frequently used these as a reference

Map, one of the developers for replying to a comment I left asking how to access mod files

This is the first mod I've ever made for a game. I'm a boomer when it comes to computers and it took me two painstaking months to make this on my own. So huge thanks to all of you.

Additional music, sfx from
  • Final Fantasy VIII (Galbadia Garden theme, Unrest)
    Final Fantasy IX (Esto Gaza)
    Front Mission 3 (Research, Bar)
    Xenogears (June Mermaid, Elly's scream) (7/26/25 Cut June Mermaid as it felt too sappy)
    Tekken (Counter hit sound, bone break sound)
    Street Fighter III: Third Strike (Bonus stage theme from Dreamcast version)
    Mega Man Legends (Clozer Woods Sub-Gate theme)
    Lone Survivor (game) (Blue World, Where is it going? The Director)
    Snoot Game (Swagger, Enjoying Her Company)
    Samurai Jack (Jack screaming)
    Ape Escape (Time Station theme) (7/26/25 Cut this because I felt like it)
    Bizonacci II (AC/BC You Shook Me All Night Long)


additional backgrounds
  • Squall's room from FFVIII (7/26/25 Cut)

    Vending machine image pulled from don't know where
    Belvidere from Chicago, I think

Reasons for making this mod

>"So let me get this straight: you think choosing 'Let her fail,' and 'You can still take back the reins of your life and own your mistakes' is STILL letting Olivia off too easily???"

>"I do. And I'm tired of pretending it's not."

Keep in mind, these are just my personal opinions, so take them with a grain of salt.

After playing this game several times through, I felt compelled to write an analysis of the characters of Inco and Olivia which can be found in the guides section. The more I analyzed the chapter Art Contest Blues, the more frustrated I became with how Cavemanon handled the character of Inco (full breakdown in my analysis).

For being that Inco is supposed to be a guy with a lot to prove and a desire to be the center of attention (due no doubt to not receiving enough attention from his parents), I find it difficult to believe that he would handle what Olivia did to him so calmly and rationally, let alone be quick to forgive her (which he is no matter what choices you make). He's supposed to be a budding narcissist as evidenced by Ending 1, and already feels jealous of Olivia for getting the attention he himself would like, particularly from her god-parents (if you choose convince her to come outside his resentment is made quite clear).

The way he exposits about her feelings and her psychological state seems to have been done purely for plot convenience, and treats his own plight like a non-issue, and not something that could potentially derail his own character growth and lead him down a darker path. I feel this to be a betrayal of his character, and puts Olivia front and center as though his own feelings don't matter. He's doomed to simp for her by design.

While working, I began brainstorming what it would look like if he rejected her. I imagined a scene in which Damien confronts him about it, and wrote it down. I then wrote forwards and backwards from that initial scene. I had written about 20k words of story before applying myself to the grueling task of learning to mod, and much of the story still wasn't finished. All told, it's between thirty and forty thousand words of story. Starting with the writing process, this took me more than two months to make.

Learning to mod this game was both frustrating and rewarding. It's a relief to have finally finished it. I hope you enjoy it.

I really enjoyed the mod. Falls flat in quiite a few places though, especially the 1 endings.

Updated again with further editorial fixes and new thumbnail by Sebek Fereh Rah.

This will probably be the last update to this thing. For those wondering why I cut ending 2-C short, I decided this story needed an ambiguous semi-bad ending just to not seem like a cop out. If I were to attempt this story again I would tell it differently, and I kinda want to in a future mod at some point.

Another edit will be coming soon with help from Sebek. I'm not done with this thing yet, smh.

It was an edit that was a long time coming that I wish I'd done sooner. Looking back, there were a lot of amateur mistakes I knew better than to make but did anyway. I think it was just me getting carried away with learning to mod and not having enough of a filter, and also getting back into writing for the first time in over a year.

You chose to upload it the WEEK after I played the mod. You rat bastard. also, really nice mod. Well written, even before the update (flawed yes, but that doesn't matter anymore)

Big update exactly one year after it was originally uploaded. After going back and looking at the script, I saw a ton of stuff I decided to edit out entirely to avoid bloating the story with lots of pointless internal monologuing. Also cut a few scenes and preachy lines of dialogue, and even changed one of the endings since in hindsight it felt like a cop out and this mod needed at least one bad ending.

If I could do it again, I'd certainly have written the whole thing differently. I may return to this one day for another mod that takes the story in a different direction. For now, this is just cleaning up an old project as best I can. It's a relief to have at least edited it one more time after not looking at it for a year.

Remember: no story is ever perfect and flawless. Self-editing is key to growing as a writer.

Going to do an update to this soon. Nothing major, just some edits and minor rewrites here and there.

Wanibros, ts is so peak. Never thought a mod could make me shed a tear so hard after having me on an absolute emotional roller coaster (ending 1-B :gatorhappy:) . Dude is a GENIUS. Thanks for making this!

I forgot I had my profile set to private. I don't even remember why I did that. But it's public again with my workshop submissions and guides posted there.
