Heya, thank you ^-^
The menu change was intentional for the sake of making potential translations easier in the future. How the code is set up is that translators can translate all the dialogue but not edit actual code, so the text would remain in english even if the game was set to a different language
Initially when I started making this I planned to give Perci a route in this game but because Fern's story was, I also thought the text boxes and menus wouldn't fit his vibes so long I decided it should go in a different game. There is definitely more to come based around the embassy ^-^
Also already working on a last light CG with Fern and one for if you see him again after sealing the door ^-^ I think the hug would make a great addition too, thank you for the detailed comment, I appreciate it!
