Thanks very much :D! We hope to release it around January 2017.
As for your other question, A Foretold Affair is just about doing things for fun rather than having any kind of challenge. We wanted to make a game where people could still choose the romantic interest for the MC, but the choices didn't revolve around making sure you got the person you wanted/getting a good ending with the person. So, in AFA who you pick at the start is who you'll end up. The rest of the game is about freely choosing whatever feels right and seeing what comes of it.
We understands that style of VN isn't for everyone though.
