Hey! I wanted to let you know that I've released the spiritual successor to this game, and it's called CANNIBAL COURT (https://loomnorth.itch.io/cannibal-court). This time, you can just click the mouse button to progress dialogue (and it has key rebinding available if you want to use a different button)!
Since you enjoyed conversing with Copse in this game, I hope you'll enjoy the new version, which has THREE NPCs to play against this time, and they are very different personalities from the original. I would love your feedback on the new game!
