Hey thank you! I also just saw your post about the game on Twitter! Some updates have already been planned that hopefully can be rolled out near the end of this month, but the finished game might take a while. The announcement for it will be on our social media, so please give us a follow so won't miss it!

Such an interesting story! I'm intrigued by the story so far in your prologue and I love the detective gameplay mechanic! It's so unique and on point with the plot for faeology. The hotbox for hover/active state for the detective tools like the blacklight and magnifying glass could be bigger. And the makeup box didn't prompt dialogue until I moved it on top of the encyclopedia and then moved the magnifying glass over it. That felt like a bug.  Good job!

Thanks for playing and for the feedbacks! I agree that the dialogue prompt can be more responsive, and this'll be my priority for the next update!
