Hi, the Steam price should be similar to the Kickstarter's lowest tier, though it's not finalised yet. The mini VN will be a short story about the main characters, it could be backstory, alternate universe (e.g. modern world), or an epilogue-style romantic story. This depends on what the backers vote for when the campaign ends (just over 1 day until that).

Thank you, glad you liked it!

Thank you :D  I'll consider adding more endings in the future!

Thanks for the feedback, it's really helpful for improving the game! Yeah that was the end of the prototype's story. Being caught as a mermaid means being eaten, I'm currently writing a novel to flesh out the game's story (at 10k out of ~90k words in the first draft now) :D

Thanks, will fix bugs for the next version :)

Thank you so much!! I also want to get voice acting but it's out of my budget right now :( Maybe in the future though!

Thank you so much :)  

Sorry for the late reply, thank you so much for your comment. It means a lot!

Thank you, your kind words mean a lot! It will be released as paid on Steam, around $10-20 USD (Steam will adjust it for your region). I'm putting my time and effort into the development process to hopefully make it worth that price :)

After looking into the issue, I think it might be an itchio thing. I can run the game on my macbook. 

Troubleshooting:

• If a popup says that apple "could not verify" the game, you can use this official apple guide to get past it: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102445#openanyway 
• You can also try this if it says the app "can't be opened": right click on the App file and click "show packaged contents" then "MacOs" then clicking the exec file. "Show packaged contents" shows the proper game directory and internal files. You can also try right-clicking and choosing "Open" on the ".app" file rather than just double clicking.
• If that's not the issue, try using the itchio app version to install the game: https://itch.io/app  itchio says "Many operating systems can make it challenging to run games downloaded from the internet through your browser. The app tries to smooth out all those issues."
• It may be an issue with MacOS. Games should work better if they aren't in the all zip format, or are launched by another application (like Steam or itch.io app version)

If these don't work, let me know and I will try to change the code and re-upload. Please tell me if there is a specific error message that pops up, or any other info, to help find the issue. It should work better on Steam automatically because Steam seems to do some extra code-signing processes! I got this by searching online, I'm kind of clueless since it's my first serious game. Hope it works :)

Thanks for telling me! I really appreciate it. I will look into the issue and try to fix it as soon as possible. The newest demo will be out on Steam for free on 1st August, so hopefully it can be played there.

thanks! I made this super quickly, might make more in the future :) I'm currently working on a longer OC game though (has a 2 hour demo already)

maybe in the future, if someone does a fan translation!

thank you!!

thank you! not sure yet, maybe someday!

Thank you! I'm glad you like it. I have fixed the text colours for the choice buttons, thank you for the feedback! The full demo (1-2 hours playtime) will be out 1st of August :)

thank you!

thank you!

thank you!
