## Chapter chronology

**Attachment Style** (アタッチメントスタイル, *Atatchimento Sutairu*)
Chapter 3 is the third chapter of the manga series *Renai Daikou*, written by Aka Akasaka and illustrated by Nishizawa 5mm. It was released in issue #25, 2023 of *Weekly Young Jump* on May 18, 2023.

## Plot

Kon insistently knocks on the President's door at the office, demanding payment. The President opened the door and told her to stop. While there, she saw Pon, who nagged Kon for using cash as a payment method instead of a bank account. Pon had been at the office to help the President keep it tidy and clean before it falls into disarray.

Agency Incorporation is an agency that fulfills all needs, including cleaning, chores, chauffeuring, and moving. Their flagship program daikou.com, is their love assistance division, which consults clients on all aspects of romance. The Love Agency employs many professionals from all different fields, including Pon and Kon, who are the agency's top agents and have a rivalry with one another. Kon notes that Pon is ranked first place in the division, hating the fact she has been stuck at second place. She suspects that Pon has been using shady methods to maintain his position at the top. Pon responds to the accusation by challenging Kon to beat him.

Before joining the Love Agency, Aikawa Kokkon was popular at school for her beauty. Kon uses her natural beauty and talents to sincerely help her clients achieve their desires. Considering that the love assistance is her calling, she can never accept that she is losing to Pon.

Back at the library, Kon noticed that something was wrong with Mari. Mari said that she could not go into the library because Masaya was there. She was embarrassed to make eye contact or even talk to Masaya. Mari and Kon are polar opposites, with Kon believing that men are just toys. Kon decided that it would be best for a romance huddle and asked Mari if she had always been shy. Mari rebutted Kon's statement, telling her that she has experience being confident, bold, and assertive in front of a crowd and on TV. Because Mari's parents are successful, she feels pressure to meet their expectations. Kon then told her that she has an anxious attachment style, characterized by an abnormal fear of abandonment and excessive expectations or dependence on others. Kon described Mari as being too serious, which may be connected to her shyness. Mari then asked Kon about her attachment style.

Kon told her that she is an avoidant type who likes to be alone rather than in a relationship. The dismissive avoidant or attachment avoidant type who cannot form strong bonds with others. Because Mari and Kon are polar opposites of each other, Kon muttered to herself about how much she hates Mari.

## Chapter chronology

**Locus of Control** (ローカス・オブ・コントロール, *Rōkasu Obu kontorōru*) is the fifteenth chapter of the manga series *Renai Daikou*, written by Aka Akasaka and illustrated by Nishizawa 5mm. It was released in issue #44, 2023 of *Weekly Young Jump* on September 28, 2023.

## Plot

Kokon is having a flashback to a time when she was popular with people in school. A time when she was validated by the feeling of being longed for. She's remembering all this because that's the person Mari is trying to become. And in that instance, Mari is contacting her to check out something.

To Kokon's surprise, Mari is repeating her words in real time. It turns out that Mari has acquired a "real-time voice copy" (RVC). She has spent time building this piece of gear to minimize the delay in relaying what Kokon instructs her to say. Kokon questions Mari if she just wants to become a puppet, which Mari seems happy to accept.

Outside the 2nd manga club, Kengo is trying to keep an eye on Masaya's progress when Mari comes up to him. Mari asks what he is doing, but upon noticing that the room is the second manga club, she gives him a funny look. For Kokon, she can't help but feel like actually flirting with Kengo herself, which absolutely disgusts her. As the conversation continues, Kokon asks Mari to poke his belly. Believing his tummy will be squishy, Mari/Kon compliments his squishy tummy, but his tummy is actually rather firm, so Mari improvises by rubbing his upper chest. While it wasn't uncomfortable for Kengo, he told Mari that her actions weren't really acceptable.

Once he leaves, Mari relays the information that Kengo's belly is actually rock solid, while Kengo notes that Mari can be quite bold when she is not around Masaya. Kokon is ashamed of how things turned out, but she renews her resolve to help Mari conquer Kengo.

Gondal Time Dilemma

## Overview

Gondal Time Dilemma is a sub-sequel to Gondal 10 that takes place in between 10 and Gondal 11. It was released alongside Gondal 11 as a supplementary title to tie up any loose ends. Though far from the most beloved entry in the franchise, many consider it better than the actual Gondal 11, taking the mechanics of the game and using them better. It is also widely considered to have one of the best stories in the franchise, with the unique setting of Planet Vygor and fan favorite character Omegagondal as the main character.

SPOILERS FOR GONDAL 10 and 11 AHEAD! Don't say we didn't warn you!

## Story

The story begins after the death of Omegagondal in Gondal 10. It reveals he actually faked his death to rescue Dr. Eathword from Neo Dark Hornet. Omegagondal successfully escapes to Planet Vygor where Dr. Eathword is being held, but gets stranded on the prison planet in the process. After rescuing Dr. Eathword, the two must fight off multiple Neo Dark versions of past antagonists, including Neo Dark Theevus Anteatus and Neo Dark John. Eventually Omegagondal receives all the resources to power the rocket, but the launch of the rocket attracts the attention of Neo Dark Hornet, who promptly destroys the ship. After a thrilling final boss battle VS. Neo Dark Hornet, he makes the choice to blow up Planet Vygor to launch himself to earth and destroy Omegagondal and Eathword, but it ends up launching them as well due to Omegagondal's newfound strength received from his battles on the planet. The game ends with Eathword and Omegagondal landing safely back on earth, but Neo Dark Hornet is also there. Omegagondal and Eathword prepare to find Gondal and finish off Neo Dark Hornet once and for all, leading directly into Gondal 11.

## Gameplay

Gondal Time Dilemma is the last game in the series to use motion controls. The gameplay swaps between classic Gondal action platforming, and more relaxed and cerebral escape room puzzles, mostly in the prison rescue area of the game. Omegagondal has a fairly unique moveset, with lower mobility but much greater strength and combat variety, making the boss fights in this entry very popular due to their deep and complex mechanics and challenging difficulty.

## Trivia

Gondal Time Dilemma is one of the few canon games in the franchise where Gondal is not playable. Unlike Gondal 3, he does make an appearance, but only in cutscenes, and is never playable in any form.

Kengo for his part, decides to give her a hand. On their way, Kengo decides to take this opportunity to find out more about Mari to aid Masaya's pursuit of her. Kengo calls her Mari-Jou which alerts her as Kengo remembers Mari has an aversion to men especially the flashy types. However she soon drops her guard as she finds him harmless. She ask him why does he call him Jou, to which he explains that Mari makes him think of a princess who has escaped from a castle.

With Mari no longer on guard, Kengo then asks why Mari transferred at such an odd time of year. Mari then explain her mother and father are Japanese and Swedish respectively but they divorced due to an affair when she was still in elementary school. She chose to stay with her mother at the time, who remarried to a Japanese man recently and decided to move back to Japan. Just as Kengo begins to understand, believing the father to be the unfaithful one. Mari further explains that it wasn't her father's fault but rather her mother was the one responsible for the affair. It was her mother's who made her choose and she chose the unfaithful one. This decision haunts her however, as her father would die since then she has a hard time making hard decisions.

After the conversation, Kengo recalls something Masaya previously said. Masaya describes Mari as a girl who lost herself and Kengo realizes that despite talks about her body, Masaya isn't superficial at all. In fact he wants to help her.

And so the truly passionate members decided to go their separate ways and form the second manga club. Masaya then asks if there are other members of the club, to which Shinozaki explains that there are, but that everyone who is present is a regular. The rest are ghost members who have even more communication issues.

As they explain, Masaya gradually comes to understand why Kengo has asked him to join the 2nd manga club to understand introverts. And to improve himself, he should try to understand them through observation. While observing them, both Nobuko and Nanto notice Masaya looking at them. Not really sure what to do and realizing that Nanto is probably afraid of him, Masaya decides to start a conversation with Nobuko. He asks her why she joined the club, at which point Shinozaki also points out that she is the only girl in the club.

Nobuko explains that she has a resetting habit. She spent a lot of time with everyone and got along with everyone very well, but it started to weigh on her.

Gondal 5

Gondal 5 is the fifth entry in the Gondal franchise, and was released shortly after Gondal 4 in 1996 for the Sega Genesis. The game takes place all over Brazil, and has two distinct gameplay styles: Traditional Gondal gameplay, and a hub world taking place in the city of Rio, where you would help out citizens around town. Gondal 5 received mixed to average reviews, with critics mildly enjoying the Gondal gameplay but disliking the hub world elements.

## Main Story

Gondal 5 takes place weeks after the previous game, and Gondal is tired. For so long now, he's been fighting for the good of others without end. Dr. Eathword suggests that the two of them take a vacation to Brazil, and Gondal reluctantly agrees. Upon hearing this, Theevus Anteatus springs into action to terrorize Brazil, and when the duo arrive, the country is being attacked! While Gondal & Eathword need to stop Theevus as usual, they also need to help out the poor citizens from around the country who were devastated by the attacks. Eventually, the two make their way to Theevus' Brazil Fortress, where Gondal and Eathword smash everything the anteater throws at them. In the Bad Ending, Theevus is defeated and flees, but at what cost? Brazil has been completely deserted because you didn't bother to help anyone on your way. In the Good Ending, Theevus is defeated and flees, and all of Brazil cheers Gondal on as the duo leave to their next adventure.

## Side Stories

## Chapter chronology

**Self-Improvement** (セルフインプルーヴメント, *Serufu Inpurūvumento*) is the twelfth chapter of the manga series *Renai Daikou*, written by Aka Akasaka and illustrated by Nishizawa 5mm. It was released in issue #41, 2023 of *Weekly Young Jump* on September 7, 2023.

## Plot

Ever since Masaya revealed his true self to Mari, she has been giving him the cold shoulder. And after another attempt, Kengo has once again come to Masaya to offer his advice. He tells Masaya that limiting his selection to only one person is a fool's errand and recommends trying other options, such as online dating. However, Masaya prefers the ideal of love at first sight and believes that relying on technology to compare romance will not lead to a good romance. Kengo then says there is no "good" or "right' in love.

Kengo then changes the subject back to Masaya's pursuit of Mari. Since he has been rejected, Kengo suggests an image change, but Masaya questions the idea since that's precisely what he did the last time. Kengo explains that the last attempt failed due to trying to accommodate Mari's preference. This time they will pick an image that highlights Masaya's positives. Masaya likes the idea, and his first thought was to build up muscles. Kengo cautions against it as he overheard a conversation between Mari and Kon about how she's scared of muscles. So instead, Masaya should focus on the inside.

Kengo proposes joining the manga club, and so Masaya and his friends go to the manga club and request membership. The club members worried by their arrival were wondering what to do, but then Nobuko arrives and greets them.

## Plot

At home, Mari is mentally preparing herself to talk to Masaya the following day. However Mari immediately gets nervous when Kon says she has another appointment. Kon therefore gives Mari a piece of advice.

At school the next day, Masaya complains to Pon that he might become an actual nerd if he reads any more books and that his friends have started making fun of him. Pon cautions that he is talking too much about himself and that he needs to be a good listener if he wants girls to like him.

Inside the library, Masaya begins a conversation with Mari by asking how her day's been but Mari turns the conversation around and ask Masaya about his day instead. Masaya begins talking about his part-time job, and Pon tries to steer the conversation to get Mari to talk instead. However Mari simply encourages Masaya to talk more and Masaya finds himself unable to stop. It turns out the advice Kon gave was to respond to the conversation by saying one of the following:

* Same as always
* So that's how it works!
* Superb!
* Spectacular!
* So I see

Mari is using this to stretch the conversation as long as possible without needing to respond in a meaningful way. Pon then points out that Masaya is behaving like grandpa telling stories to his grandchildren. So Masaya stops and says that he wants to hear from Mari. Nervous and blushing, Mari runs away again.

Back at home, Mari confidently reports back to Kon that she did well but Kon disagrees. Kon has listened to the recording of the conversation and said that the conversation was superficial and surface level and questions Mai if that's enough for her. Mari replies yes and starts repeating the advice Kon gave her the night before.

Nanto finds happiness in the peaceful times he has with Nobuko, and he thinks about how one day he will convey his feelings to her. His train of thought is interrupted when he spots Masaya slightly further down the road.

When asked if he is okay, Masaya explains that he is down and jealous after seeing his crush and another man together. Nobuko misinterprets that Masaya is referring to her and Nanto and explains that they are neighbors. As Masaya continues to describe his feelings without stating the identity of his crush, Nobuko begins to suspect that Masaya is confessing to her. So she advises him to tell his crush his true feelings. Nanto is starting to feel awkward that he is not part of the conversation, but instead of walking away, he states that love is no trivial matter and offers his advice as well. Masaya thanked them both, commenting that they were a perfect pair. Since he now feels a bit better, he sets off, leaving Nobuko completely confused, while Nanto notes that she has completely fallen for Masaya.

Masaya Seki

**Masaya Seki** (関 マサヤ, *Seki Masaya*) is one of the main characters of the *Renai Daikou* manga series.

## Appearance

Masaya has black hair and black eyes. He is wearing his school uniform. ￼

## Personality

When first introduced in the story, Masaya appears to be an introvert and bookish, but it is later revealed to be a facade as he is actually relatively outgoing and almost playboy-ish. He adopts such a facade in an attempt to woo Mari as he has failed to do so with his own personality.

## Etymology

* The name **Masaya** is written in katakana (マサヤ), which has no special meaning. However, when written in kanji (雅也, 昌也, 将也, 真也, or 正也), it could possibly mean:
	+ 雅也 - "gracious, elegant" (雅) (**masa**), and "to be" (也) (**ya**)
	+ 昌也 - "good, to prosper" (昌) (**masa**), and "to be" (也) (**ya**)
	+ 将也 - "commander, general" (将) (**masa**), and "to be" (也) (**ya**)
	+ 真也 - "truth, reality" (真) (**masa**), and "to be" (也) (**ya**)
	+ 正也 - "correct, justice" (正) (**masa**), and "to be" (也) (**ya**)

Due to the graphics, it's has a bad reputation by Gondal fans, but Gondal F is still played by many and regarded as one of the best spin-offs of Gondal. Unlike the standard Gondal games, Gondal F has a much more competitive scene, with characters like Gondal, Theevus, Mecha Gondal, and more.

Planet Vygor

Planet Vygor is a major location in Gondal 10 and the main setting of Gondal Time Dilemma. It is a natural satellite of Mars that was originally used as a prison by the denizens of Mars in ancient times. Later on, a group of hornets arrived and colonized on the planet, where they'd stay for a hundred years more until being driven out by Theevus Anteatus. It is the birthplace of recurring antagonist Henry Hornet.

## Game History

#### Gondal 10

The Neo Dark Villains escape to Vygor after being defeated by Gondal and co. on Mars during Gondal 9. There, Neo Dark Hornet remembers his past and awakens from his stupor. From there, he takes Vygor as his home base for planning his takeover of Earth and commanding the Neo Dark Villains.

#### Gondal Time Dilemma

Neo Dark Hornet takes Dr. Eathword to Planet Vygor and holds him captive, with Omegagondal following in hot pursuit. The majority of the game takes place on Vygor, as Omegagondal defeats the Neo Dark Villains and rescues Eathword. At the end of the game, Neo Dark Hornet reluctantly chooses to destroy Vygor as a way to kill Eathword and Omegagondal, as well as propel himself back to Earth.

## Appearance

Planet Vygor appears reddish-brown, appearing with a black sky if one were to look up from the planet's surface. The surface primarily contains dunes and dry plains, with several broken prison buildings and weathered structures. Underneath the planet's surface is a rich underwater ecosystem, where dwellers on the planet sourced their water from.
Gondal 3 (SNES)

Gondal 3 is the third entry in the Gondal franchise, and the only Gondal game to not have Gondal in it. It was only half-finished before it's released, and because of such, half the game was removed. Gondal 3 was released in 1992 and is a divisive entry, with some loving it and others hating it.

## Story

One week after the events of Gondal 2, Dr. Eathword is living his life peacefully. All threats have been eliminated, and Gondal is off on a vacation. Things are perfect, right? Wrong. One day, as Eathword is enjoying his peace and quiet, a giant worm from space emerges from a portal and wrecks everything. As Eathword gets up with a horribly shocked expression, the worm reveals his intentions: galaxy-wide conquering. The worm (who is named John) challenges Eathword to stop his destruction. Eathword was scared, as he didn't have the courage to face John alone. But alas, he had no choice but to spring into action by himself. Eathword travels across planet to planet, crushing every one of John's bunkers along the way. Eathword makes it to John's Space Fortress, where the two have a battle to the death. Through clever thinking, Eathword manages to trick John into warping himself far away from the galaxy, never to be seen again... or was he? Dr. Eathword returns home with a newfound bravery, and self-respect, and the trilogy ends with a massive party being thrown in space for all the planets that were saved.

## Additions/Notes

This is the first and only Gondal game where Gondal himself does not make a single appearance, though he is referenced several times throughout the story. Gondal 3 marks the first time Theevus Anteatus would not appear as a main antagonist. (Though, it wouldn't be the last he appears). Orbs make their debut in Gondal 3. They can be collected throughout the stages. When you have enough of the Orbs, you can either preform the Psychic Boom which tanks the health of bosses, or you can use the Atomic Dash which will skip large chunks of the stage. Only one can be used per-stage. Gondal 3 introduces the shop system. Using Orbs, you can purchase items which will help you during stages. Items include lives, health refills, among other helpful goodies. The Tornado Spin was introduced in Gondal 3, and can be used to glide short distances. It can also damage enemies on contact. Gondal 3 features many bugs and unfinished elements. Gondal 3 was originally planned to have 16 stages, but due to rushed development, only 8 managed to stay intact. Gondal 3 is one of the few games in the series to not have a Canyon stage.

Gondal 4 (Gameboy)

Gondal 4 is the final entry in the Gondal Gameboy Series, and it was released in 1993, having nothing to do with it's Genesis counterpart in 1995. Gondal 4 was made as a passion project after the release of Gondal 3, but had to be worked on quickly as Nintendo was selling the license after the failure of it's SNES counterpart.

## Story

The story takes place in a separate continuity immediately after Gondal 3, where Dr. Eathword returns to Earth and teams up with Gondal once more. A mysterious group of monkeys and mandrills claim they have the secrets to world destruction, and so, the duo must bust the Bunkers, smash the fortress, and defeat the chimps to prevent Earth's demise. Gondal makes it to the Banana Fortress and knocks the apes down a peg. The duo smash the fortress and leave everyone behind as the monkeys are left pleading for mercy.

## Notes

Gondal 4 is the only fully-original Gondal game released on the Gameboy.

Gondal (SNES)

Gondal is a fast-paced action platformer starring the heroic Wooly Caterpillar, Gondal. It was released in 1990 for the Super Nintendo. Gondal 1 received very positive reviews from most video game critiques, such as IGN giving it 4.5/5. It is considered a cult classic.

## Story

Gondal stars the titular caterpillar as he moves out from his home and seeks a different life. However, criminal Theevus Anteatus wants to rule the lands and torch anyone who gets in his way. Gondal seeking a purpose in life, decides to hunt down Theevus and make him pay for his actions. All throughout, Theevus leaves mini-bunkers throughout various locations to keep Gondal busy. Eventually, Gondal reaches Theevus' Fortress within a burnt forest. Gondal trashes the fortress, and Theevus disappears after his defeat. Gondal's purpose has been found, and he swears to protect those in need.

## Gameplay

Gondal is a fast-paced, physics-based, speedrunner game. Gondal is given several modes of movement.

*Charge* - Can be used on the ground or mid-air, the charge can launch Gondal forwards, and is good for gaining a boost of speed. It is primarily used to bust through walls within the levels. The downside is that the charge will stop you in place, so it could be a momentum killer if not used correctly.

*Roll* - A move which can tank through enemies, but cannot be used mid-air or while standing still. It is primarily used to gain momentum on slopes or grind rails.

*Bounce* - While using the Charge, Gondal can lock on and strike enemies in a row by bopping each of them individually. If Gondal strikes enough enemies in a row, he will temporarily gain a huge boost in normal running speed.

## Stages

## Notes

Gondal 18: Market Sluggers

Gondal 18: Market Sluggers (MS) is an open-world platformer and the 18th main entry of the Gondal series. It was made by Vortex Studios and released for the Windows operating system.

## Story

After the events of the Gondal: The Shattered Reality of Existence comic, Gondal awakens in a unique world created by the shattering. Digging into the world and its inhabitants, he realizes that the world is completely controlled by money. Now, he must embark on a journey to find as much money as possible and see how he can return to his original world, if that's even possible.

## Gameplay

Gondal 18's gameplay differs from every other game in the series, as it features an open world for the player to explore. The player plays as Gondal who must search this world and find money. The game is sectioned into 12 distinct areas, each of which has its own unique stage gimmick. Hidden throughout these areas is money, which serves as currency for the game's shopping system.

As the player progresses through the game, various shops open in the world, facilitating shopping. Shopping is the game's main gimmick, and it allows the player to purchase various items, including permanent upgrades, cosmetics, temporary boosts, and for a time, could even be exchanged for real life NFTs.

Shops all have their own stocks, and periodically gain and lose items. A select few even function on the rea- world day/night cycle and will only be open during the day or night.

## Music

The game contains a total of 47 main tracks, along with 12 themes from prior games remade in the style of 18.

## Controversy

Gondal 18 has received criticism for its implementation of the shopping system. The most common complaint is that the Blank Totem, a required story item, can only be obtained on real world Tuesdays. This has led many to be unable to obtain the item without researching it. An update released on 10/11/45 added a conversation line from the desert shopkeeper that he'd get an interesting item on that day, but this has only partially resolved the issue.

## Trivia

* The Gondal Machen makes its return from Gondal 15, being purchasable in the Grudge Forest shop.
* The game's title theme shares its main melody with the title theme of Gondal 8.

Gondal 6

Gondal 6 is the sixth entry in the Gondal franchise, and was released in the last year of the Sega Genesis' life in 1997. The game sold very poorly and received mediocre to average reviews for uninspired levels and "beating a dead horse."

## Story

After a scuffle with Theevus, Gondal is badly injured and slowly dying. Gondal doesn't want to stop however, as shown why in Gondal 5's good ending. He's willing to put up with anything as long as it means finding a cure. Thankfully, Dr. Eathword is on the case, and discovers a mystic artifact found within an ancient volcano. Theevus immediately jumps to the opportunity when he hears upon this, and heads to the volcano to prevent Gondal from saving his own skin. After the main game is beaten, Gondal and Eathword arrive at the now-armored Flame Fortress. After many desperate attempts to thwart Gondal, Theevus Anteatus is caught in the core of his fortress, and dies in a massive volcano eruption. Gondal's life is restored, and his story seems to end here, now that Theevus is finally perished.

## Additions/Notes

Gondal 6 adds a stage select, which allows you to pick from all stages can be chosen except Flame Fortress. Gondal 6 is the last game of the Sequel Trilogy, and also the last 16-Bit Gondal game before Gondal 9's release. Gondal 6 is the last appearance of Theevus Anteatus until his revival in Gondal 13. Despite being referred to as "Gondal 6," the box art and title screen use the title "Gondal VI" with roman numerals.

## Stages

Midnight Paradise, Electric Towers, Funk-Punk Palace, Inferno Garden, Frozen Rainstorm, Tortured Canyons, Soft Seas, Desert Bunker, Flame Fortress.
Gondal 2 (SNES)

Gondal 2 is the second entry in the Gondal franchise, and it was released only one year after it's predecessor. Gondal 2 is one of the most beloved entries in the franchise by hardcore fans.

## Story

Gondal 2 takes place four months after the previous game. Gondal has been living his life as a protector, a savior, someone generally there when help is needed. One day, however, Gondal gets a message sent from earthworm genius "Dr. Eathword" who pleads for help as his home is under attack by none other than Theevus Anteatus, returning after his defeat. After making his way through Wild Jungle, Gondal comes across a worried Eathword, and the two decide to work together in order to find and crush Theevus Anteatus' bunkers once again. After all eight bunkers have been destroyed, the two make their way to the Waterfall Fortress. Gondal and Eathword destroy the fortress, but as Theevus tries to escape, he is caught in a devastating explosion where he is presumed dead. From here on out, Gondal and Dr. Eathword would work together if necessary for the good of all species.

## Additions/Notes

Gondal 2 marks the first appearance of Dr. Eathword, and he will follow you throughout gameplay. He will also drop items if needed. Gondal has the ability to preform the Rocket Slam, which halts his momentum and can make precise landing easier. It is dangerous however, as Gondal cannot move while preforming the ability, putting him at risk of bottomless pits. The main stage count has increased from 6 Stages to 8. Gondal 2 is the first game to have an intro cutscene, whereas Gondal 1 just started on the title screen. Gondal 2 is the first Gondal game to have an "Intro Stage" which is a prelude to the main game, existing mostly for story purposes. Gondal 2 is the first Gondal game to have a "Bunker" stage as the 8th level as a pre-endgame stage.

* Chaos Canyon
* Wavey Cave

Gondal 14

Gondal 14 is the upcoming fourteenth title in the Gondal franchise, and is set to release in 2024 for Switch exclusively. Soon after the release of Gondal 13: Into The Cater-Verse, Vortex Studios would reveal that they were working on the next game immediately after 13. On April 26th, Vortex revealed that the game would be a successor to Gondal 1-3, similar to Gondal 9 and 10. An interview with a Vortex developer spoke about this and regarding Gondal 4's release 27 years ago. "We aim to do something original with the stages this time around like we did with Gondal 9. Gondal 4 is a difficult game to discuss because getting the game out was such a struggle back in '95. Now though, we have plenty of time to both polish this game and make it stand alongside that original trilogy." The game is set to release in March 14th, 2024.

### **STORY**

Not much is known about the plot, but Vortex has given us the basics: "The sinister Theevus Anteatus has returned from his grave. He attacked the multiverse, and has reset the memories of our beloved cast of characters. Gondal and Eathword now team up to hunt down Theevus Anteatus to uncover the mystery of how he rose from the grave."
