i only recently found this and played this and it's absolutely gorgeous! even ended up messing around a lot of the choices and i genuinely got a bit spooked during one of the story branches! i'm pretty curious what's going on with sweetpea Anslem and that weird voice too! the whole story seems so so cool, all in all :D
but yeah, saw the whole official announcement and i'm sorry people had been awful and accused you just because your art "looks like ai" to them. :( some people are just awful and have nothing better to do than drag people down with them.
take all the time you need to rest, slime! hope for all the best for you <3
