All right! Just finished re-read - this is what I got:

I definitely noticed you trimmed the fat with the interactions/each intro — and you’re right: Nothing significant was lost. It reads very smooth; the pacing matches that of a conversation happening with continuously added people. You nailed it.

I would ‘say’ if you’re conscious against too much repetition, the words ‘fractional’ and ‘recalibrate’ (or versions of it) are used quite often describing each ROs reactions. It’s not taking away anything; I like both words and how you use them - - but if you want to give yourself a fun challenge, you could find synonyms that hit the same way (or - different, but beautifully so).

A few in-game things I found:


(the slashes around "Please")

You use Mattie's name before she's introduced herself; it felt omnipotent in a way I didn't feel with the others.

I noticed Mattie did a very similar thing to Scarlette’s bit, during her intro - the not-quite-smirk, the barely there drink tip — is that intentional? (i.e. I wouldn’t mind seeing something more unique/just for her.)

Hopefully that's helpful~ Great job, again!

I appreciate that - re: critiques! But like I wrote: I genuinely didn't have so big an issue with it that I thought it warranted bringing up; but if others (clearly) did, then that's their opinion and valid too. But, I do think at the end of the day: It's Your story. You should have final say on what you think should change and what truly warrants it being 'for the better'.

I will def re-read now that I know (honestly not big on/super active with socials) and happily share my opinion if you like. As for the others: it could be wanting to wait until the next update is finished to restart. Now that it's announced here, maybe more will do the same.

I think that was a very mature decision regarding 'verbose'-ness of character intros/MC reads. I personally loved them -- I love how observant the MC comes across; was a delight each time they clocked a subtle cue. But I can absolutely agree it did, at times, get repetitive. Interested in re-playing to see how your edits change things.

Never Have I Ever!! (I remember that lol) It was quite illuminating/fun in the previous version, so looking forward -- esp since you got so many good suggestions for rounds~
May seemed to be a really good month, so - here's hoping June's just as fruitful for you/this IF! (It's also, literally, beginning of Summer, so that has to be some karmic/good vibes default ;))

Don't forget to take breaks/pace yourself, darling! Esp since writing those kinds of scenes takes such a toll. You're truly amazing for keeping up with all those variables/not wanting to give us a watered down experience with reused text -- but if that means this takes you more time to release this chapter, I'd much rather wait than for you to burnout.
(If you can work on any of those future lighter moments as a breather, that might help too!)

Best of luck with + congrats on overseas internship, hun (that's exciting)!! There's def an adjustment period and you must always do what's best for you. ❤️

Beyond that: yaaay (possibly belated) b-day gift with next chapter~

haha I think all us K fans(masochists) understood the assignment (i.e. Knew we weren't gonna get a kiss in Book 1 since ET made it clear); what we *Weren't* prepared for, I think, is how K: ABSOLUTELY DECIMATED us, despite that. Silly me, thinking there'd be some FLUFF crumbs 😂🫠

....what a chapter to be a Calliope-mancer. 🫠🥲 (she wrote vaguely and intentionally lol)

The music paired so well with this one--truly, well done. You couldn't have sent us off on a better note. Sending all the Good VIBES for your upcoming surgery/smooth recovery. Take all the time you need~

Love that you're friends (Lulu's amazing~ As are you!)!! So freakin heartwarming any time I see fellow IF authors giving each other flowers. You're a real one, FF 🫡❤️‍🔥

Lulu - if you don't already know, you have an awesome lil callout/easter egg by Cantata's writer in their latest ch 6!! (It was so cute + I love the love~)

The God-Cursed reference!!! (I squeed) We Love a Cultured shout-out to another awesome IF~

I'm a HUGE body language fan (+ the challenge that can come with writing it), so I love this. I think it's incredibly easy to default to blushing when there are *So* many ways the body can visibly show embarrassment/shyness/etc.. All that to say: I'm looking forward to finding out the cast's unique cues depending on their personalities -- and seeing similar with my MC!

Thank you for the honest answer; happy to see you're aware of it. It's a big irk seeing the 'universal red blush' in so many customizable MC games (if you can put as much care to pronouns, I feel you should also map things like this). I don't know if you use betas now or will in the future, but that's a great way of catching sensitivity issues you might otherwise miss. :)
So long as it's kept consistent, neutral descrips/behavioral cues are  fine with me! Never had a problem with the ambiguity otherwise! 

Thought/question on this: Your reasoning is 100% fair, but one thing I would appreciate being tracked - how blushing is conveyed. Lighter skin tones visibly show flushing, while darker ones do not, so unless you intend to just, wholly, only use general/neutral descriptors like: 'their face warmed', I'd think linking something like that to skin color useful? (Even if it's not mentioned or an option in game, my MC is dark-skinned in my head. i.e. would like to avoid immersion breaking)

aaaaaAAAAAAaaaaahhh (and - really, that continues on for quite a bit ;))

Congrats on the re-release!! And thank you for all your hard work! Am Stupid Excited to read it~

*Feedback Timmmeeee~ (spoilers if you've not played)



You weren't kidding when you said it'll feel like a completely different game! Phew!! But, still. It - *does*, and doesn't? Like a childhood friend you knew everything about you're reuniting with as grown-ups. The CORE is still there; the characters, even though very different, writing-wise, are still the same babes I know and love.

I immediately fell, down Bad for Izzie (knowing I'll still get rejected XD); but had the equally amazing, nowhere Near 'consolation prize' of Mattie. When I first played prior version of game, I was so shocked I fell for these two in particular -- one seemed... basic, sweet, but meh. The other nice enough, but no fierce initial spark. Both ended up having me in an Entire Chokehold by getting to know them. I Adored that.
Seeing them as they are now: They're still everything I love, but instead of caricatures; I'm getting these Amazingly complex, depth-filled oil paintings. Your writing was always compelling, but - holy cannoli - you've Leveled up! There's this Gorgeous subtlety to Everyone now: I was prob Most shocked with Amber and Noah. Their original personalities were - a Lot. They still have those same traits now, but instead of a Glaring Neon sign, it's something you have to uncover. Which gives them the proper chance they both deserve. I also love my MC; this hasn't changed, but it was lovely seeing how much more Fleshed out they can be (I assume there are different results dependent on your MC personality build). Appreciated every choice mine got/it fit them so *well*. I would date them, no lie. 😂👀

Also: THANK YOU for adding Izzie explanation on why she didn't choose you! It still sucks in a way, but it made so much more Sense when you saw the true reasoning behind it. That conversation (and its different branches) was prob my fav pt of revamp. I've gone back and read through all the choices (could really see the werk you put into each branch, leading to the same destination, but still all unique/a new facet revealed) and -- God... I just Love her More. Them.
Excellent work, m'dear; very much looking forward to pt 2! <3

I hope you don't feel bad at all! When should you have a break, if not after releasing entire new chapter (esp one with so many variants)? It's how you avoid burnout, m'dear; I hope you recovered well.

Thank you for the update~ Interested to see what ch 14/the end of the first book will look like--esp since you're changing it up sans outline. Yay, Eli times!

(P.S. I want a 'sorry K fans' mug for my present and future tears 😭😆)

I hope you will be pleasantly surprised, then. Putting out something you've worked hard on is rarely easy -- once it's out there, it's out there, and anyone can do whatever with it. But you've done it before and it looked like a success; I can only think you coming back more polished (and - not hating what you wrote) will make it all the better.

Wow!!
Not gonna lie - I thought this was dead. Clutched my pearls, sat shiva, did a breakup bob -- the works. But I ACCEPTED IT. It always hurts getting invested into something that isn't finished; but I know how crazy Life(TM) can be. And it certainly isn't easy creating an IF.

So - I'm shocked (pleasantly), but more so? After reading this update: PROUD. Proud of you; proud of the maturity. I *Know* what it's like to write something and just not be happy with it; you should be Proud of yourself. Going through this process means you've grown. And understanding your characters is Always worth it. Well done.

Can't wait to get back into this with Fresh eyes and Bated breath ;) ❤️‍🔥

'Edit'? That's what BETA TESTERS ARE FOR
(Sorry Ri Betas - I love you 🫡)

You're doing great, sweetie. Have Complete faith in you as always~ (Also!! Happy to see no health issues holding you back this round! :D 🎉)

Thanks for the update + your continued hard work! 🫡 🎉

*squints* ...why don't I believe you 😂

Currently engaging in art therapy. You had me so in my Feels, I had to draw part of that K scene just to - Process my own emotions. lol (Stop being flattered - I'm mad at you I'm not, I adore you ripping my heart to shreds)

*Me listening to 'Soldier of Love' by Sade, eating two tubs of ice cream* XD

I will take your Respect and wear it as a badge of honor. 🫡

For all the (REAL ONES)people who locked K, kiss-less, reading other people's comments, feeling Some Kind of Way(TM) and/or possibly bleeding out:

Oh NO - I was about to CRY since I got the dreaded


and I was like - '...whut - HOW?? WHUT KAIA, BB, PLEASEEE...' (I even thought this was PART of K route because - wouldn't they JUST force you to be platonic UNTIL they wanted something more XD

BUT - reading other comments, it looks like it's an old save thing. Gonna try refreshing my game -- hopefully I'll have the same luck! 🥺🙏🏾 *EDIT* I GOT IT. But, the new screen showed me this?

...What scene was that? Was it not the one were Rylan and K were together/visited your apartment (K was worried about you)?

LEEET'S GOOOOO, K ROUTE, LET'S GOOOO *clap clap* :DDDDD (FEEDBACK UNLOCKED - spamming return key for those wanting to avoid K 13 spoilers.....)








Summary:


(were the other routes fluffier? I only romance K God - someone give me hope.... XD)

I honestly felt like my Entire spirit had to - -take a knee, hold onto the railing, buckle up for safety after that one, ET - - but, Beyond that 😆 (Really, you should have added 'ANGST' as a content warning for K's route, ALONE, GOODNESS....)
But it was BEAUTIFUL; it was - GORGEOUS -- I was in AWE the Whole damn time. Just them talking - - it was: Just. Them. TALKING - and I Never wanted it to end.

So, I hope you like long feedback. Cuz I wrote this as I was reading + reacting/this is happening lol. Besides: you really, Really deserve it.

‘To hate something is to bond.’ <— 🤯 what a Terrifyingly Great line (and, perhaps - TOO approps given current times….) I just liked it on its own; but now, in the wake of finishing 13 -- it hits Deeper. Cuz, good golly GEE, if there's a theme for K/MC, it's: *That*.

The Romance LOCK was so EXCITING (beyond giving that lil heart attack)~ That moment of finally going ALL IN - :D But, I also really appreciated how you let my MC truly - Ruminate on K. Cuz - who is the greater opponent: MC's doubts or K, themself?
It’s quite a lonely route (Fitting, given RO); it feels near Entirely one-sided. And the Uncertainties MC has on it - even *Being* anything are very, Very Valid. Who I am as the reader and who my Hunter is as the one experiencing it... there was this Tension between the two, throughout. What's a 'romance lock' with someone who so Clearly doesn’t want romance? (Heck - I'm fighting to be friends) That’s not criticism; I adored it. But K-mancers are - -Really a Different kind of breed. lol
*I* get some assurance because you’ve told us K will be a viable route; despite the difficulties. But not my poor MC. She’s climbing uphill and - - doesn’t KNOW if there’s a payout. I’m so glad you haven’t neglected that(even when you know the End result better than ALL of US XD); you detailed that Frustration, that Agony, second-guessing and despair, very well.

‘How easily will I disappear from Kaia's memory? How long will it be until these two months are forgotten and never talked about again, remembered only as a distant dream that Kaia won't recall?’ <— also Valid. There were sprinkles of MC considering implications of being with an immortal before, but (esp b/c mine was more confident flirt type) it feels Real now. Like - Actual consideration. This is more than just Lust; if MC really goes for this -- like so many others have issue with in this route (not moi - Bring it) -- will they just be Forgotten? Negligible?

Their dialogue in the library — ALL OF IT - God…I *Missed* their Rhythm~ The - beat - of how they talk(yell?) to each other. So - clipped; so - pretty; so dazzling to watch. They resonate, play off one another, whether they realize it or not. I did argue path and - PHEW ... They threw their words like dreadful knives. Loved emotional Kaia --even if she utterly Obliterated me. haha

‘Kaia extends her hand but pulls it back before I can take it. She's kind one moment and cold in another; soft towards me one second, then almost cruel in the next. It's a maddening cycle, yet one I subject myself to regardless. …It was an accidental meeting, but I made the choice to suffer.’ <— Can I also - Scream how Much I Love the - Maturity of this??? The self-awareness. BRAVO, my MC -- cognizant enough to know this is a self-inflicted Torture.

"If I wanted to make conversation, I would have knocked on your door, not hidden myself in Eliana's library. I didn't ask for this, so don't pressure me into it as if I owe you something." <— there’s that Sucker Punch *wheezes* (but - wait! There's more! lol)

"You are a plague, Hunter. A disease.” - …..Well. LOL - - and we're back to 'HUNTER', I see? OUCH. (Real talk: I actually Enjoy every time K - calls us the Entire Way out, like that. I *like* LIs that don't let you get away with it.)
Not gonna lie - even a part of Me is starting to wonder if this is going to be okay. 😂🫣 There’s a thin line between perseverance and- - just: Pestering someone. Trying to access something they don’t want to give. And even my MC, despite liking a challenge, is Practical enough to realize they won't get water from a dry well.

‘I wish I knew how to change her mind, but Kaia is on a self-destructive spiral. You can't save someone who would rather drown.’ <— And, there it is. After - ALL of that, it's really up to K now. I can't imagine this route - continuing otherwise; MC gave their All, Pushed and Pushed and still lost in the end -- Where do you go from here?
That's for you to answer in 14, but I kinda HOPE my Hunter just: accepts it? Not push any longer, as they realized, it does no good. This is the Exciting bit: How do we GET THERE? How does it become something - More than Pain?

Absolutely Fabulous work. I won't lie and say this was a pleasant chapter; it Absolutely Hurt as much as I thought it would. But there were glimpses, admissions, and - K Didn't Leave. Not until far longer than usual. I continue to cling to hope us K-mancers will get our just reward by the end~

Appreciate the update (I was just happy it wasn't the Dreaded - 'infinite Hiatus' 😅).

Agree with other comment: Life always comes first. Hopefully it eases up a bit so you can get back to your passion project -- but even you just knowing Where you want it to go is Huge. This also may give some new ideas from when you first started. You can only stay the Course~

LOL who doesn't like being SUCKER PUNCHED? XD What - will K STEP ON US next? 👀😂

No issue with angst here (already knew we weren't getting a kiss); sure you'll hurt us K-mancers so good~ Can't wait to give feedback when it comes out! <3

As Always: Thank you for all your hard work. That this is your fav chapter (isn't - *EVERY* new chapter your favorite? 🤣) makes me super Excite to read.

K-stan, All DAY, and while I know their route won't be 'fluffy' (LAWL), I'm actually still really pumped? I feel like many would be deterred by 'angst' -- but I'm, more than anything, Interested in how you made K's route engaging *DESPITE* that. And to see the PROGRESS. I *Love* progress; those - little moments that show you're Steadily wearing Grumpy down earning K's trust. lol
(I have a confident bounty hunter and I take so much joy in their: 😏😘 and K's: 🤨😒 'this Motherfu****....' XD

A K-romancer -- how Cultured~ ;) 💯 Come, let us HURT, together lol

Love this game. So exciting another episode's going to be out by the end of this month! Always happy to wait for the Absolute Stunning amount of 'WERK' you put into the plot, visuals -- and... honestly, everything else my ignorant, non-Dev behind doesn't know about. lol

Bless and hope you get lots of new patrons your way + good feedback~ ❤️

Oh - HAI I’m back! :D
And - WOW: Look at YOU, completing an Entire ACT! 🥳 I thought I’d wait until you got further along since it’s painful for me having to start over each time I play a game - esp once further in (Zero blame there -- I know you’re constantly updating your work and that’s incredibly important). Re-reading this from the beginning just made me appreciate + realize — your: poignant writing all over again. It really is so Breathtaking.... But -! on to thinky thoughts/comments!

…it’s Funny! I never noticed: when the tent explodes in the first part from the (DUM DUM DUUUM)Stalking Presence — the porcelain tea set shatters! And later on, Farah breaks it! Was this dream also telling the future since MC has that power? If so: WELL *DONE*. Very Clever~

Oh my Goodness - I LOVED meeting my mother - SO MUCH?? Like, that TALK at the end with the story and how she got — REALEST. And my MC - freaking the Fuzz out: Delicious. 10/10.
I really Adore complicated relationships with more (- seemingly)’nicer’ choices, so I chose being close to Moh-ver, and the underlying Tension there — even *IF* forgiven + how Phoebe clearly does not forgive *Herself* for who she had to sculpt her child to be to come back alive - - OOF~ Eating it with a SPOON. Your characters CONTINUE to be so friggin multifaceted and Spectacularly written/fleshed out. And that's - - Impressive, given there's so many (and many MORE) at this point. It makes me so excited to meet more ROs; but also to see this new country and their people in Act Dos.

(HOW???)You continue to be Amazing at - F-ing me All the way up with: Gory ass descriptions of my dead siblings whom I—CANNOT SAVE

I’m not mad at how it *Hits* — but - ow. OW, OKAY
Can I just love Aurora and the rest without my MC getting beaten to near-death? ...No? *le siiiigh* lol

I cried at Nour’s Death vision. You wrote that Phenomenally; truly - one of my fav scenes in the Act. I teared up and my throat Burned. Seeing my aloof, dignified MC baby (who - Cares so MUCH) — snap… be Called out by Luca, who *KNOWS* her…. Wow. Heavy. Heavy-gorgeous. And I can’t help but appreciate how you - -Let us craft this character that's so stunningly complex. So very.... human.

Like - GAAAWD - she’s so STRONG and IMPERIOUS AND - - SAAAD
(P.S. you're Evil for making us have to break a promise to Farah - AGAIN)But, we SAVED Nour -- and I LOVED that.

You probably don't remember, but I mentioned being suuuper interested in seeing how Kieran turns out, as I'd find a romance with them + Samira to be REALLY interesting, dynamic-wise. So, very much excited for this new act; Equally for the romance and plot. Honestly have no notes: Keep flowing~ You're doing Incredible work. ❤️

pfft - Hahaha I just thought you were busy or something -- but: Yes! Glad you caught it! I always do my best to comment on things I've experienced that are awesome~ ;)

LOL not - 'YEEEE, BLUSH, LET'S GO' 😆 Once again: I have to thank you for your ability to take feedback in efforts of making your game as inclusive as possible -- and being really proactive about it. Hope you never lose that. Gold star. 🌟
And - yes! You had nothing to fear at all with Inga; looking forward to seeing if I can make -- *Her* blush~ [insert Smerk here]

Okay, I thought fight was unavoidable/he was - ALWAYS playing with his food (asshat), but good to know for certain. Re: Evil path .....damn, Bart - that's Cold. Not the children. lol But honestly: While I like the idea of a game over/evil end, it just - doesn't fit who the MC is? Who - you've fashioned her to be. Like, why are so many years of protecting the children would she just -- give up like that? I guess you could go 'Ultimate self-preservation' route, but - - meh. Still: Do it for kicks. Someone will choose that option (and - I'd kinda like to see you Justify it 👀).

 I will wait patiently for other plot bunnies to be revealed and thank you, once more, for the delicious meal. ❤️ 🍽️ Good luck with chapter 4!!

That - GIF (ohmaiGOSH - The EARTH is FLOATING - my girl is PISSED - - AAAAAaaaaahhhhh 👏🏾💯😍) - - Okay, Okay. I just finished it. Commenting below to avoid the spoilers for others:











That - MOTHERF**-

Aaaargh -- I HATE that he's still ALIVE (esp after all MC lost with that - DBZ level finisher move...). And by MAGIC of all things, even though his Hypocrite behind wants to Curse it. Is HE a mage too?? Or does he just have some kind of magical protection that surpassed his amulet/armor? Because I thought the former and was like: PLOT TWIIISSSST.... (Also: Loved the line: "The kind of smile worn by men who have already decided how many people will die tonight.")

But - Gaaaaawd, seeing Baby Girl(TM) MC in Action - 🤤😭😤 I knew what was coming with the gif -- but it was All the more BADASS seeing it in-game. (I wonder: Is there a way you can avoid him attacking you at all with those 30 choices?) That: 'Surprise~' -- AaaaaAAAAaskaljnkla Also? I Adored the chess/round of questions with him -- as Pragmatic and Careful as my baby is, you can Tell she loves the thrill of evading capture in plain sight just as much~ And: Red being confirmed Royalty. I absolutely wasn't surprised/thought so ever since last chapter end -- but the Reason WHY he was kept alive still eludes me. With how Bloodthirsty new ruler and his cronies are, you'd think they'd want to end that line at the first opportunity.... so - why Not? And Red being esp Terrified of him makes me think he was: Main torturer....

As for Inga: she CUTE. I like that she makes my MC - 🤨 and 😏 in turns. There def seems to be some (DARK)Depth to her that she hides behind that smile and I really want to know her more (we got some catching up to do to get to Prisoner's level!). I didn't have any issues with their flirting! -- certainly nothing cringey. I'd have to see more of it in Action to give a proper assessment, but I liked how MC still kept her sass while showing interest. Inga currently comes off more like a playgirl, like she just flirts with pretty faces - and if that's true: She's gonna have the Hard Time with my MC. But I have a feeling her passion (saying she wouldn't give the satisfaction of screaming if burned alive) + dedication (swearing she'd protect the villagers) is what wins. If you'd ever like some perspective/feedback on them flirting, specifically, happy to help~
I will say, re: inclusion (and just plain - fact): I would change MC's blushing from that bright red to a darker tone of her skin, if you want to show it artistically. A person of her skin color doesn't flush red like those with lighter ones. You did a great job with describing her blushing though (i.e. as heat at her cheeks vs. 'pink/red tinge' )!

I know this was a Doozy for you, but it was such a great chapter and the TENSE + pacing was Fabulous! Worried for the kiddies and town with next chap (and also if I was sold out by a certain hunter...), but feel I'll get more Inga/Rebel times, so - 🤷🏾‍♀️ Bring it~

Had Such a Crazy Friday, completely forgot! I'mma play it right now. Definitely needed something to lift my spirits... <3

I want to be inclusive, but as a straight person, I found myself a bit challenged when writing a same-sex romance. :D <-- First of all: I appreciate the Hell out of this/you coming out and admitting so. Wish more devs had this kind of integrity. There's no Shame there! And, honestly, I think it's far more in our collective heads than it should be with all the societal B.S.: Flirting is just flirting. Sure - there can be some same-sex exclusive sprinkles, specifically how women flirt with women vs. men, what body parts are noticed -- but it's still just flirting. I feel like it relies, more, on the character's disposition and who they are, than solely their sexuality, if that makes sense. I assume if new RO was also into guys (and maybe she is!), she'd still be just as forward. So, I'd not even think of it as this big - 'THiNG'; just write two people vibing off each other and don't get too mired on 'sex'~
But, absolutely, will let you know if you did anything Horrendously 'cringey' (I'm sure you haven't lol) -- you did so well in The Neptune Diaries with Emer and Selena, I'm not even worried. Have faith in yourself!

This Friday?? SHUT THE FRONT DOOR

Incredibly proud of you: From what I saw -- 3 looked like a real pain in the tookus. BUT - YA MADE IT 🎉 Completely understand the RELIEF; sometimes, you just have those hard updates. Hopefully, ch 4 goes smoother for you.

• New RO introduction – Ingelore Rán. She has something to say 😉

And - I have Things to 'say' to her too~ 😏😎 Maybe even: Acts, if she plays her cards right. *wink wonk* haha

Seriously, though: Can't wait to - for Real Real meet. I've been so excited for this 2nd RO, I CANNOT EVEN

But mostly: I'm just happy to see awesome MC, again. I know no matter the difficult choices, betrayals and Shakespearean-level sheananigans, I'll love it all because she's. just. such. a friggin badass.

(P.S. - sorry on your tablet; it happens to all tech, eventually. At least it wasn't made completely useless/now a paperweight. I don't use Wacom myself (but a lot of my friends do), but hopefully they're more forgiving with 'old' tech future compatibility - i.e. NOT discontinuing products just to - FORCE YOU TO BUY MORE)

aaaaaAAAAAAaaaaaAAAhhh 😍😭

*pokes head in* Just - checking in. Hoping you're okay. We haven't heard from you in a while and (as you well know lol), I adore this game~

Keep fighting the Good Fight!! Sending love and good vibes! ❤️

Okay, okay, okay

(FIRST) - Thank you, again, for going Above and Beyond to help me recover/play my saves with this latest update. I was bereft and you - -Saved me from the pits of despair.

B: Oh my Good Golly Gee - Hannah's last scene was Phenom -- Exactly what I expected from the awesomely(naughty) open bae she is. I've always loved how Han rides the line of: ridic Cute, yet Sexy at the same time, and it Really was on display here. Also, just - adore making my babes' fantasies come true. 🙂‍↕️💯 I played through alll the options(duh), and they were All yum/equally hot. And I continue to love the consent + Communication during these scenes ('What would you like?' 'Would you like me to call you something?', remembering safe words, etc.) I also feel like your animations got smoother? They were looking Great in these scenes!!
But not gonna lie: My heart just aboot MELTED at the end when she got quiet with that '....come here.', and - taking off MC's glasses to *see* her (I wear glasses - so this hit esp Hard). And that: 'I love you.' ACK *clutches pearls* I swoon, with Hannah being such a LOUD(FUN) character, yet her love confession was so quiet and still. So much was in her eyes in that moment and I - not only felt like I Accomplished something Great, but also appreciated the ish out of it. Utter Gorgeousness, chekkin. 10/10

Looking forward to checking out librarian scenes  next, but - REALLY looking forward to Ashley's last scene. It feels fitting she's the last of the girls to get there; I actually really like that she's not into traditional labels/romance. (and while I'd love to be - - Anything with her, really - and earn that 'I love you', I'd be happy with whatever she's comfortable in giving. <3)

That was more me thinking out loud lol I'm aware you don't know the itch app.

So, I checked my files via app --  this is the basic setup:

I didn't really see anything 'save' related beyond 'save location'. If you could reconstruct my save, that would be amazing; I sent a friend request on discord. But even if I'd have to wait a year for everything to be done (and I'm mainly here for the main girls to be completed), I'd just take the loss and be patient.  I checked one of my other app games and saw that those saves were lost too/the game reverted to the beginning like YU did, so I'm pretty sure this was a 'itch app update' issue -- nothing else makes sense. Gonna contact them and see what's up there. Thanks again for all your help!

I'm on a Mac; I've always played this game via the app (it's usually just - easier on Macs in general to download that way), but this was my first time doing an update. Still: I've never had any issues with updating other games, hence me being so freakin Confused. The only thing I can think of... maybe because I didn't do the last update? (I wanted to wait for one of the main girls' content before diving back in) But - that would be stupid, if that's the reason....

I'll do some digging around tomorrow and see if I can uncover some save files or roll back the update or - SOMETHING; put my Millennial to the test. If all that fails - I mean: there's nothing I can do - I'll have to play it from the beginning. Which will really suck, but... I guess I'll just wait for you to be finished with the entire game and then do it. I couldn't bear this happening to me again. Thanks for caring, regardless - you're awesome.

.....okay. I'm freaking out. Officially.

I was so Excited. I just updated my YU on the itch app seeing you just released a new one (yay - Hannah!!) -- but, upon starting the game, all my saves are gone. No saves. Nada. I will CRY.... I maxed out everyone and put SO MUCH EFFORT into all the girls -- is my data lost? Will I have to start over from the beginning???

(Not blaming you, obviously this is an itch thing - but this has NEVER happened with just an update here - what in the World....)
