In The Blood of Dawnwalker’s opening section, players can choose whether Coen should try to force-feed his ill mother, Esme. The guide recommends refusing, as attempting it leaves Esme visibly more upset, although the choice does not affect the game’s longer-term story.

If Coen agrees, Esme knocks the spoon away and becomes distressed, prompting regret from his father, Pieter. If he refuses, Pieter makes the attempt instead and receives the same practical result, but Esme appears less distressed; in either case, Coen is then sent to Anca’s for herbs to help Esme endure the evening’s blood mass.
