I'm fine, it's just taking a while! Lots of re-writes for the ending and such!

Thanks for reading <3 i had to delete your comment :;( cos of spoilers but love you!

The early access gives you access to this update 4 weeks early - after that, the next and final update should be free for everyone

Tysm for your support! It makes all the hard work worth while every time :3

You're too kind <3 honestly, the support means everything! It's gonna feel very weird when it's over, but onto the next thing afterwards!

All things must end, but I'm so glad we were able to make the journey!

Maybe there'll be more journeys, though!

There's no AI generated content in this VN. Backgrounds are sourced from public domain licences and given a photoshop filter.

There'll be one more update afterwards!

Very true! I think if Alex had committed these acts without magic, just using standard butchery, a lot of the aversion might have been preserved. Dipping into fantasy robs the story of some relatable realism, but for me it was a worthy compromise!

There's absolutely room for a good ending!

I haven't seen that one, sounds like my jam though! Another for the list! :3

Seria muito difícil saber que você sempre estará sozinho como o último de sua espécie. Toda a negação e esperança de Alex desabam!

Update will be out at around 6pm BST, possibly a tiny bit later as I won't get home until late today!

Thanks so much for sharing this. I'm really sorry for your loss. As Loken would say - there are good things in these memories. We'll make sure we finish this story, and I personally believe your friend will still read it with you from somewhere!

That's why people are kinda scared of him haha

The plan is put them in eventually

Based on what I know is coming and how it'll play it, I don't think that would be a problem!

I may have binged watched a bunch historical war vids on YouTube and got inspired haha

The Automonks have just sorta... always been there. It wouldn't be a particularly long dive since nobody really knows what they are or how they came to be!

You download it from the main page above the VN files. It's a PDF file.

The update will be out at 6pm BST! <3

Wow, thanks for this! You gave me some food for thought, and your thoughts definitely help conceptualize some of the vaguer concepts going through my head. It's nice to know that my ramblings aren't just meaningless! <3

I'm glad that last bit made sense - thank you!

Thank you so much! Glad it makes sense to someone :3

We're all mad here :3

For sure! I think loss of control and feelings of powerlessness link into other themes that bled into the VN alongside the fear of the unknown, so I'd definitely touch on those if I did another dev diary to talk specifically about Alex

Ahh thank you so much! <3

Thank you! The support means a lot <3

Thank you for reading!

It'll be a little while yet! Probably afternoon/early evening my time (British time that is)

It's certainly not the end yet! We're about half way through!

I'd also recommend One Last Night! ;) https://mashedp.itch.io/one-last-night

Too soon! xD

Apologies, it should work now! I had to upload a quick fix!

I'm not actually sure if it's possible to transfer, though I might be wrong as I've never tried it!

If it doesn't work, best advice would be to use the chapter select option at the beginning of the VN and the skip function to get back to where you were in the story.

A few people have found it already, but there is a message in there somewhere! Not necessarily in the symbols, though!

You have to take Flare with Loken on day 4, and pick the 'I want more' option when it comes up. Try from a new game if the option isn't coming up!
