thank you so very much for the wonderful comment! i'm happy that you gave this game a chance and enjoyed it :-) there is an update coming out this weekend that will expand *a bit* more on the story. the update also features new art (and updated art) and some other quality-of-life additions. i think it'll be worth checking out, especially if you plan on replaying it!
the game should be out by 2023 for sure though. i can't exactly say when, but it'll be 2023. i'm really looking forward to finishing it i can't wait to share all the shenanigans clyde and fennel get up to haha.
