Thank you for giving The House of Noctus a try, and I'm so glad you enjoyed it! <3 Also so honored you chose THoN to be your first IF/Interactive Fiction novel! For the longest time I only played Visual Novels too, but then on a whim I tried an Interactive Fiction Novel, and I found that both were VNs and IFs were so much fun :) It's heartwarming to hear that you had a similar experience, Itch.io is filled with a tone of amazing VNs and IFs! Happy gaming!!
