Hey Chatty! Thank you so much for your wonderful comment, I'm super glad you enjoyed the game. In the extended demo + full game, you'll have control over Darius' actions... somewhat. ;) Your influence on him will lock you out of certain choices, and I'll make sure you're aware of what choices you could've made if better (or worse) decisions were picked as Sabrina.
Yeah! The timeskip I felt like was super necessary to move the story forward naturally. When it came to Darius + Sabrina's relationship, I really wanted it to be like a parasitic growth that slowly takes over your life. Plus, for Sabrina, having him known him for a year makes her less weary to any potential red flags and more open to a relationship. Though that isn't to say she won't outright dismiss any weirdo behavior!
When it comes to a Tumblr, I do have one! It's my personal/game dev one where I allow for asks on any of my projects, so feel free to send questions over! I honestly need to use it more often, so providing updates and getting messages from fans there will definitely help motivate me, haha! https://husbandogoddess.tumblr.com/
And no problem. Gen-AI sucks and I hate it with every fiber of my being. <3
