Glair here, thank you for your kind praise :) The story is far from over so we're hoping to deliver a lot more of these emotion packed 'punches' ;) We're truly elated that our approach to writing and character depth is met with such a warm welcome.
I'm sure there's going to be an ending that will grant your wish :) We're not putting Aura through all these trials to keep him in despair forever, but getting the best ending isn't going to be too easy for him either 😈
It's a lot of work for sure. By the time we complete Mannequin Academy we'll probably feel quite happy to change the setting for a bit, although your suggestion with DLC is a good one and we'll definitely consider if expanding the story should be handled with a sequel or a DLC package.
There's an even bigger update in the works and June is going to be a happy month for Mannequin Academy ;)
Thanks again for chatting with us. Honestly, getting excited discussing our games is what keeps us extra motivated and passionate about this undertaking and your comment adds a lot to that!
