Howdy!
This is the first VN that I am going to be selling. Hearth and Home is, and will always be absolutely free, as will the version of April Showers that I did for May Wolf last year!
At the moment, I'm looking into how I want to run either Patreon or SubscribeStar, but my plan is that the first three chapters will be available as a demo, and then after that I'll have a full version for purchase.
Hope that helps give some better context!!
