If it helps, I don't have writer's block. I have health issues slowing me down so it's not quite as fast as I'd like ^^' I haven't even been able to play video games or anything like that for quite a while either.
I plan on seeing the story through to the end though no matter what since I know how much it sucks to be a fan of a story or a vn only for it to be discontinued.
I haven't played most of my favorite games in over a year. But it was actually because I broke my neck in an accident and can't move my legs or fingers.
So now I play a lot of VNs to pass the time and enjoy myself, and this was one of the better ones I've played.
(I damaged my spinal cord at C6 in an accident 31st of August 2022, long story short I'll never walk again and will struggle more in life.)
I don't think he's really evil, but he became so consumed with his own problems he nearly lost all of his empathy. To me it seems like someone who's so mentally worn down they don't even know who they are any more.
I think Ted is a thoughtful and believable portrayal of a guy with borderline personality disorder and an abusive background. He doesn't believe anyone can truly care for him and that the only way he can survive is by using and manipulating others. His feelings of emptiness and loneliness are so intense that to escape them he feels justified in doing things he would consider horrible under other circumstances.
We see in several of the paths that Ted is capable of change. It is something of a revelation for him to discover that Daren and the others really care about Colin and Colin really cares about him. If Colin or his friends push him in the right ways, Ted is willing to give up his original plan and be more trusting and less selfish.
Honestly, i really like the story plot, but im sad because there's no technically good ending.
i readed so much VN'S with bad endings, all i wanted is just to see Caijoru and Colin together happy in the end. eh... still, good idea, and plot twists
There was originally a Jesse route planned, and you would have to text him for the route to appear, but I decided against giving him a route in the end due to how much there already is.
Then some time later Caleb escapes and you somehow manage to escape from Jesse and you run back to Darren's place only to find he's corps and Ted hiding in the room
Just my thought processing but I reckon it would be great

how many endings are there currently?
7, though three of them I plan on reworking in the future.
Well this was a rather interesting story, I look forward to seeing how the unfished pathways end up when ever you find the time to finish.
Congratulations,this is your first comment on itch, how does it feel?
I just seen another good vn get cancelled
I'm now a little upset.
The name of it was tails of onyx
Why R.I.P? :(
Writers block is how at least 5 other games I've played has died.

But I still try my best
Listen my guy, thats terrible im so sorry. But let the man cook, its not like you are paying him for it.
Hope you feel better soon, simply because being unwell sucks. If you need help, I'm willing to provide it, as much as I can at least.
I WANT A ROUTE WHERE I STAY WITH TEDDDDD
That might be the case later on because there is unfinished Ted routes.
I have a question for everyone.
Do you all think Ted is evil? Yes or no, why or why not?
I don't think he's really evil, but he became so consumed with his own problems he nearly lost all of his empathy. To me it seems like someone who's so mentally worn down they don't even know who they are any more.

Technically there is a good ending
Where Caleb is shot and Ted has a normal life and so do you
Just not together but you still have your eyes atleast
I accidentally stumbled upon this ending first and it kinda ruined the other ending
Does anyone know if there is any actual point to texting Jesse
beyond a +1 sentence on Sean's route

Ok thx for the clarification
Although you might still be able to put it to use
For instance Jesse stalks and kidnaps you
Then some time later Caleb escapes and you somehow manage to escape from Jesse and you run back to Darren's place only to find he's corps and Ted hiding in the room
Just my thought processing but I reckon it would be great
