Delay Announcement: Two Days (+ ER Update)

Restart Heart
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Hello my lovelies! I would like to start off with a thank you for everyone's patience and kindness during this time.

I overestimated my ability to work after the ER visit and I thought I would be happy with releasing a buggy product on time, but I'm just not. So, I'm going to delay it TWO days in order to clean it up and make sure it's not a mess. I want to make sure I'm proud of my game and this is the best way for me to do it.

I love you all! I appreciate your patience and kindness.

ER Talk

So those of you who were worried about what happened at the ER, I'll explain why I had to go. (If you were unaware, I had my close friend post in the Discord Server and on Tumblr that I was in the ER from Nov 29th at 11:30pm-Nov30th 3AM)

My family eats dinner together roughly once a month and usually I can't eat the same thing they do because of my food allergies. I have a few mild ones but I do have a deadly allergy to fish/shellfish. As I was eating, I realized my chicken tasted like fish and had some of my family members try it, they all agreed it tasted like fish. Turns out, it was cross-contaminated and I had consumed some.

I did my best to remain calm and use my inhaler and epipen (which was expired but more on this later), then I went in an ambulance to the ER. I was very very lucky that my epipen was still functional, as it is the only reason I am here right now able to give these updates. I know from past experiences with other people that using slightly expired medications is often better than not using any at all. My epipen expired in 2023, so it was able to help me perfectly fine.

I have been extremely lethargic and my head has been spinning since, but it is okay. I'm working, but at a slower pace than I'd like to. I'm also aware that I can't push myself too hard while recovering.
