[QUOTE="Ovinomancer, post: 8448211, member: 16814"] It's not clear either way. There's a strong feeling of intent that you should not, but there's nothing that punishes you if you did and kept it secret. I have to say, that latter feels much less visceral to me. Here's my conceit with The Between: Hargrave House is a nexus of realities, a place where multiple possibilities converge, and this is where we find our Hunters. As the Hunters explore London and hunt Threats, they have the ability to occasionally select between realities through the Janus Mask. However, every time they jump reality to one that they prefer, the number of possibilities that can lead to that reality dwindle. They become locked into a specific version of themselves, and have to solidify a bit of their past. As they continue to use the Mask, they continue to lock into this one version of themselves until they are a specific iteration and lose the ability to use the Mask and are vulnerable. To already know which version you are and keep it secret just completely defuses some of the tension here. To me. This is my take. [/QUOTE]
