Tempt

**Tempt** is a panel that appears in the demo of Storyteller and is present in the full release as of the September 26, 2023 Devilish update.

## Physical Description

The tempt panel is set in a field, with the background containing grasses, a tree, and a smaller tree in the distance, with shrubs and grasses more towards the front.

Most prominently featured, is a tall tree with bushy, green leaves with three prominently featured branches. There is a small crook in the middle of the trunk.

The fruit resembles a red apple, with a single leaf pointing to the left.

The toolbox appearance is an outline of the tempting fruit, complete with leaf.

At the beginning of the story, Snake will rest on the tree, with the fruit on his head ready to tempt actors. Adam and Eve, after being tempted, will replace Snake until their deaths or until someone else takes the fruit.

## Behavior and Uses

Barring any extraneous conditions, any actor (except Friedrich) placed in front of the tree will be tempted and eat the fruit. For any actor who does so, the next time they are placed in a judgement panel, God will smite them, killing them and turning them into an ash statue.

To not be tempted, one of a few things must occur beforehand. Either the actor must witness God smiting another actor or be smitten themselves and revived. Doing either of these things will cause that specific actor to no longer be tempted by any character offering the fruit.

After a character is successfully tempted, they will replace the previous actor behind the tree and will offer the fruit up to other actors. The latest tempter will always be the one behind the tree, save for when God smites them, in which it automatically defaults to the latest to have eaten the fruit.

Devil's effect on this panel is painting the apple green, but only with Snake present. As of patch 1.1.18 (current patch), having the apple be painted will cause the actor to begin eating the fruit as before, no matter if they were or witnessed a smiting before.
