Spoiler territory:

Dollmaker Kuro was honestly my favorite. Also the over arching meta narrative is so interesting! Does the over arching meta with Anathema continue in any of your other games? Also ngl still kind of wish we could kill issac and get a good end just for the sheer fact man really caused everything. 

Mostly just wanted to say I really enjoyed the experience though and would love to know if theres going to be any future connected series or is any existing series! 

Glad you had fun with it :D

Hooray! *High five* cos that particular Kuro wound up being my favourite too, haha. I didn't think he would be, but the more stuff I wrote for him, the more he kind just wormed his way into my heart x3

Thanks so much for playing and taking the time to comment ^-^ I'll put the rest under spoilers I guess :D



SPOILERS




The Anathema stuff does sort of continue in little bits and pieces in a couple of my other games, yeah, but nowhere near as much as I had hoped to include! The problem is often a lack of time with most of my games being made for game jams with deadlines and time limits of 1 month to make from scratch >.<

The next biggest appearance is in the otome version of Apartment No.9, but it's nowhere near as prevalent as in SR, so I feel like if anyone were to play A9 just for that, they'd probably be disappointed >.< But if A9 looks like your cup of tea anyways, then it's more like a happy little bonus to come across while playing that and does include audio.

Then there is an even smaller reference in Limbo Line as part of one of the side stories. Sadly, it's nowhere near as fleshed out as I hoped it would be, and is only a reference rather than an actual appearance from the character, though it does hint at stuff related to that narrative. It's just a very loose sort of connection.

Hehe, I don't blame you one bit for wanting to kill Issac x3 he doesn't exactly deserve mercy after everything he did, haha.

I'm so happy you enjoyed the game anyhow! The main thing I wanted to do was actually remake this game with new content :3 Because since making it, I've switched to a different engine, and there were a lot of things I wasn't happy with about the original version of the game. So yeah, someday I hope to remake it completely with things like new sprite art, to expand on some of the existing routes with a rewrite, like the Student Route because it's far too short in comparison with the rest! And then I also hope to add a couple of additional routes because I did have more ideas for routes, but I didn't have time to write them as Kuro's voice actor was moving away to a different country to start a new job, and since he's so perfect as Kuro, I didn't want to lose him. I tried my best to finish what writing I could in order to tie the story up and get it all done before he was gone.

It was pretty stupid of me to cast voice actors before finishing all of the scripts really because of course situations could pop up any time that mean a VA can't continue voicing in the project. I didn't really think of things like that though since it was my first project and I had no experience, haha.

But yeah, there was that, and also making the BxG version of the game. I have no timeframe on that or the remake though just because I always seem to be busy working on other stuff or having some sort of breakdown and not working on anything x3
