Take care.

Well, Firstly you replying to my comment in itself made my day memorable, so thanks for that...

Secondly, a bit of a personal rant here (humor me if you have the time (I'd hate to waste it)), I once read a quote that said smthing like : "I'll love you forever"– "How can a mortal offer eternity" (Looking at it now, it does go with the theme of your IF). The latter part of that qoute is what kinda stuck with me, so from then on I decided that maybe we give to much attention to the future or the past. Now, im not saying that they aren't important but I just feel that the present is often overlooked and maybe I should start trying to be present in the moment more.

Looking back I'm kinda glad that I was in such a school which was filled with some kind of powerplay. Like this group of ppl against those or wtv. It honestly just taught me a lot about people in general and made me capable of looking at things from multiple perspectives and layers. Interactive Fictions such as yours started out as like an instrument to pass the time, but nowadays it's more than that. It helps me go through lives that I would've never experienced. For example- the death of the beetle, just going through the options I learn more and more about how others might handle death (ofc I take it with a grain of salt because reality is way more complex than just a few choices- its filled with those micro decisions that no one sees). I've experienced death firsthand and even though I'm not really someone who would be sentimental about it, I've seen its effects on other people.

Now of course maybe I'm digging unnecessarily deep and maybe I should just enjoy what's given to me on the platter but where's the fun in that. For me, A piece of literature becomes Art when even after I close the book I am compelled to think about it. You have created one such piece of art and for that I will be forever grateful (contradictory ik, but it adds flavor).

If you survived this rant, I thank you for the time you took and ik this might come off as a bit silly but I just wanted to get it out there, so I did.

Yeah, fair enough...But with all due respect, save your thanks for later- we still have a long way to go 

I won't go around promising things about the uncertain future but what I can promise you is that at least in the present you can always count my support.

I wish that you'll live a life worth living.

Glad to be a part of this journey, even if I am just another reader...

I, too hope that something/someone makes you actually smile this week too. Take Care.

I've played this a while ago, and it definitely needs another run through. I'm excited to see how and where the story goes. Excellent world development as well.

I hope you keep us updated and may you have the best of health, 

Take Care.

Good Game,  All of the characters are very well described and the writing is easily imaginable. Looking forward to updates. (5 stars...)

Take Care.

That is the def the most creative thing ive heard all week...

Thank you! Take care.

No worries, though i only ask that you let us know if you ever plan on moving on.

I hope you understand what I'm trying to say here, im not implying that you will abandon it but if you were to do so, please let us know that here too. Many IF's just get abandoned and the community is left hoping for a definitive answer. All the very best for everything coming up regardless what whatever happens.

Can we expect an update this year? 

I would rather wait than be granted a half-willed chapter, but I would still like to know. The story and the writing is worth waiting for.

Take your time, we'll wait...

I hope everything works out in your favour.

I assume I speak on behalf of everyone of us, that I would gladly wait a few more months for a wonderful IF like yours. Take your time. 

After all isn't rarity what enhances value.

(Yet, I hope the updates aren't too rare)

Its not corny at all. 

As a fellow Pianist + Painter I truely value art. I like to believe that the act of creation, is art in itself. Art is the expression of emotions & feelings regardless of shape or form. We are all artists, the medium of performing it may differ from person to person (In your case it was cello/music).

I hope whoever he is, is doing well and so are you, as well as anyone else reading this.

Im going to have a good day it seems.

Looking forward to having a great time playing it. Hope you take some rest after release as well.

glad to know, I guess I'll just wait patiently...

Damn, now i just need to find the time to replay the game. 

(I try to replay it every update but who knows if I'll be able to but i love reading the pure art that the author has written.)

Thanks for the update tho, glad to know your doing okay.

Congrats, This was one of the first IF I ever read and I'll be honest if this wasn't as good as this is I maybe would have never experienced the other amazing authors that are on this platform. After all first impressions do matter. 

I'm glad to be a part of this journey and hope you recive everything that you work towards. 

same, it's been a while but it's good to be back

Happy birthday!

Amazing, looking forward to playing it

Take your time, we are all definitely very excited! You know Ive been waiting for a longgg time... and as usual take care :)

Amazing, can't wait

Hey, It seems you're really getting into a flow state which is wonderful, I can feel it through the words themselves. Been here for almost a year, and I am still constantly checking for updates.

Hope you have a gr8 new year too and as always, Take Care.

Nice! Enjoy the winters and take your time. I think, just by reading the comments, your community loves you and would definitely wait for the next update. 

Take Care.

Definitely a very unique story and setting but I have enjoyed it. Though I have a lot of questions, which Im sure would get answered soon enough.

I feel it's a compliment in itself that after reading the IF, you are left with questions and the want to know more. I hope you keep on blessing us with more, but please don't feel pressurized. You have actually done a great job and I will surely be waiting for the next update.

Take Care.

I often visualize what I read, When I read it and I really think that the chapter 3 really shows how you are able to paint a picture. 

This can become a very cool IF given enough time and I'm sure youll do it. I also liked that there are only two mc's. Often times the world gets too crowded and difficult even for the author to keep track of, I like the simplicity with the mix of complex choices. Please take your time and keep moving ahead.

Take Care.

Take your time and Take Care.

Hello, I have been following (and playing) this game for about a year now. It's amazing to see how you have improved on writing the background scenes and getting the reader inside the story itself. Very cool and I hope you bless us with updates soon.

Take Care.

umm...there is an option in the saves menu to do that, just click on "Export Saves" to download the save. When required you can simply open it by clicking the "Import Saves" button in the same menu. Hope this helped. Take Care

Woah i forgot how long you have been doing this. Respect to your work, truly...

also I enjoyed playing the chapter too, I adore the way you have chosen to put in certain tests for the crown amidst of the travels. Hope to see more content soon, though dont tire yourself out.

Take Care

Yep, I agree with you on that one, the middle answer for sure felt more grounded and realistic to me, imo.

Take Care

Ayyy!!!

WOOO!, I'll now have to wait to get the perfect time to play it

Okay thanks a lot. Take care

Lmao thats actually crazy, because I also did the same. That was my second IF and TToC was obviously th first love. Both games are amazing ✨️

I wouldn't mind recommendations though, Take Care

I suggest you sleep, you will take better decisions being well rested.

Take care

Guys, how does the saves shit work? Like should I import it just in case cuz that makes the most logical sense to me

Lmao, he interrupts us on X route too, but honestly I'm in love with the uninterrupted romance with R. It's kinda fire ngl.

I'm gonna play sentience today, while waiting for the update. Have you played When Twilight Strikes? It's a very good IF, Take Care

Ayyy!! The wait is almost over

I'm not sure how the save system will work though?
