1. What is Perfumare: Avulsion?
It鈥檚 an extended version of Perfumare (Visual Novel), but not a retelling. The VN is a demo, this is the whole story. More info [here] and [here].
2. But in the demo...
The story shown in the demo has certain differences from the Interactive Fiction caused by me having to cut the content and/or change it to fit the shortened narrative (and the demo being my first project ever). Please treat the demo as a different story entirely. One such change is that MC isn't aware that Reed's 'dates' are in fact only business associates (like they do in the demo).
2. Can I skip the romance?
No. One of the main genres of this game is romance, thus skipping it would significantly cut the content.
3. Will you add X, Y, Z?
Nope, if it鈥檚 not already planned. You can send suggestions, but it鈥檚 unlikely I will be changing the already-written content.
4. Isn鈥檛 RO/MC鈥檚 ages being static a plot hole?
Nope. Making the experience customizable allows me to make the game more enjoyable for my players. Obviously, if your MC is much older it would mean they got to share fewer classes with Reed, other than that, the schooling system in Perfumare is different from ours, so sticking to things we ourselves experienced won鈥檛 fit the narrative.
5. I don鈥檛 like the X feature/ the way you did Y.
I understand if you personally don鈥檛 like this feature/thing, but to put it bluntly, it wasn鈥檛 written with you in mind. I create stories I, myself, would like to read, and I know there are people who like the same things as I do. There are plenty of other stories you can enjoy, you don鈥檛 have to force yourself to read this one. If the author doesn't like their work then working on it becomes a chore and I can't have that, sorry.
6. I found a bug! Where I can report it?
Please use [this] anonymous form as to not clutter the comment section. Tumblr tends to eat the messages, so the form I posted above is the surest way to report something you wish me to fix.
7. But what about the other 3 Romance Options you mention on Tumblr (Nino, Flavio, Alan)?
Nino, Flavio, and Alan are the Romance Options in the indirect sequel (Perfumare: Amalgam) with a different plot and different MC. If you know the characters it should be obvious, but I'll just say that neither of them would enter a relationship with the protagonist of the first game aka Avulsion thus adding them as Romance Option in this game would be impossible.
