I would disagree about visual novel format novel not doing justice to the characters - I feel like VN is the easiest genre to implement the unexpected and startle/surprise the player, just like you did in Ferarum with point&click segments/hallway walking and stuff. But I understand what you mean. I'm a very big fan of your work, you manage to hit all the right notes for me to just love the story that you're crafting.
So good luck, I'm really looking forward to your next update to Ferarum. I was kinda hoping you would submit it to DD61 so that I could read it on stream (that's why I set up the voice changer lol), but hey, this game was a nice surprise, absolutely not uwelcome.
