Calicol, I've never heard anyone say my writing did that -- you had me reading back on my work and trying to understand how you saw it in there! You helped me fall in love with my own writing again, which I confess is very hard at times. Thank you so much for your words, and I hope you'll keep supporting my work ❤️

CrustyOldPete, you should definitely look up more Twine games on the platform! There is a tag for it if you are unaware... there are so many more remarkable writing you have yet to see, I highly encourage you go out for it! Tbr writing is as, if not much better than the one you see in my work!

I am still so honored to hear glowing praise from another writer -- thank you so much for letting me know your thoughts!

Hello Fate_Weave,

Your words are so touching!! I figured it would be hard to digest for some; I'm glad you ended up liking it! 

Thank you so much for taking the time to write, I can't express my gratitude enough ♥️♥️ it's a open secret that writers LOVE your energy when you write your enthusiasm about their work!!

killermooch, you have no idea how much I feel the same way about my own writing -- wishing I wrote more! Thanks again for playing and for your kind words!

Hi undeadDreamer, sorry for the confusion towards the end; it's not supposed to be understood very well as it is hinting at something we aren't supposed to know yet, if youre referring to what I think you are! 

I believe feedback on how you wish your MC can respond is extremely helpful, and I'm happy to include that option in the game!

I have also received a question about how other people view MC... I might change the character profile to be in the style of viewing yourself the way you might view other characters, and the description varies on a combination of characteristics. This sounds pretty ambitious but exciting, but I am keen on incorporating it!

Thank you so much for your detailed thoughts and the time you spent reading, I really really appreciate it!

Thank you Lady kai!! I love the art as well!

Hi OminGod, I am happy to incite these feelings in you! I hope you'll express them through your main character as I do want to incorporate that vengeance into their characterization. Thank you so much for reading and sharing your thoughts!

Hello erimm, sorry for the late reply and thanks for playing!! In the future, I'll actually add some kind of option to get rid of them, but for now, I hope you'll excuse it! Thank you so much!

Super late reply, but I meant for it to flashbang 3 AM readers! Only half-joking :) thanks for playing, Autumnal-Cinders!

It's not abandoned, but it was on hiatus for a long time. Sorry!

Sorry for the delay, Abyssal!

THANK YOU LADY KAI!

I'm so glad it conveyed those vibes! Thank you so much, MyKawaiiPanda!

Ahh, thank you Yorbb! I don't want to disappoint you!

Thank you so much, (redacted)! (Didn't want to refer to you ever)

The original art is so charming, but I wanted to have unique art for even different gender presentations of the ROs, hence new art! They looked quite same-y, as I was scraping some money just to be able to get new commissions at all.

I'm glad you liked then new design, hwhy2!! Thanks for your kind comment!

Thank you, Clover!!

Hello Spiritual-Chemistry! It's just new art for now. The art is actually quite old, commissioned back when I was actively working on the IF. I previously wanted to hold onto it until Chapter 2 came out. However, since I went on hiatus and returned, I've decided to release it.

Thanks for all your patience!

Ahh I'm glad you liked the character creation! It took some time and effort to create it (I was scratching my head to make unique descriptions for each appearance option), but it was all worth it and I'm so glad! Thank you so much, BeeHorn!

Oh! Thanks to you, I found out that Lana Del Rey indeed had a song called Salvatore! I will have to give it a listen, thank you so much tea for that and for the praise! :)

Thank you so much, Ria!!

Hello Alternate_Willow!

Gods can indeed die, and the concept of "forever" is a bit fickle because to know for sure that something is eternal, you must have reached the end of eternity—or at least, that is how I view it. It is difficult to ascertain if there is anything that truly lasts forever, even the mortal spirit and even death. Is death permanent? Can we be certain anything is? That seems difficult to know for sure!

There is nothing stupid about your musings! It is very interesting to know your thoughts on it. You shared your thoughts because it was worth sharing and because you cared about the game, and that comes through! Thank you so much for all the love and praise for the IF! Even the "rant" is a love letter!

Thank you again! :)

Haha I'm so glad that you liked it!! Thank you so so much Cheeseless_Taco <3

Sorry for the inconvenience, KyleLy!!

Ahh, do you know nuavanxi? They are an amazing artist, and I begged to commission them for their stunning artstyle! It completely aligns with the story. Thank you so so much for all the kind words, I am so glad that all the thought and care I put into the game is conveyed properly! Thank you again, tarutaro!

Hello Angie,

Thank you for coming back to this game time and again!! It is such an incredible honor that this game has stuck with you long enough—I remember you way back when you first commented if my memory doesn't fail me, and that felt like such a long time ago. I am really so flattered and amazed.

You have captured what I truly want to capture, which is focusing on characterizing your protagonist and finding a character to connect to who you think they are inclined to, not necessarily just by the preference of the player themself! Of course, the player has to also like the character, but I find that it's especially important to have your character's personality align with your chosen interest.

Thank you so so much for returning again and again. There is no highest flattery for any creative than to have someone continue to think about their work for so long. Much love, Angie.

Thank you Meow!! Yes, proofreading is the bane of my existence as it is difficult to parse through my own writing, but I tried my best with a couple of beta-testers! I have actually received very few proofreading errors from people over the year (I can count on one hand), which is a shame! I invite anyone who finds errors to let me know ASAP, even if it's very minor.

Ahh, but I hope to expand on it more soon!! I hope you will stick around to see the next chapter, Meow! Thank you so much for writing a comment and lending your lovely thoughts!

Hi vixhaze, I am so glad you like the writing style! I always thought it was an acquired taste for sure, so it's very comforting to know that some people enjoy it, haha! I hope to bring more of you to read soon, and thank you so much for the comment once again!!

AHH THANK YOU SYLIVAN, and thank you so much for leaving your thoughts!!

Hi Angie! Ahh, I would be grateful to know what mistakes you find, as even if I take my time to read it and it's been a year since it's been released, not many people report to me any proofreading issues. :)

I remember your name!! Thank you so much for returning to this sometimes, that makes me extremely emotional. It's unfathomable to think about. Thank you again!

Hi Iristheeye! I am also hoping for completion one day!! My studies and work make it difficult to find time to write, but it's always a pleasure to do so, and I keep myself creative even still. Thank you so much for leaving a comment!

Hi NeonGreenHoodie!! That is such high praise—thank you so much! I thought I responded to this before, but clearly not! In any case, I am so glad to be able to inspire your own writing, and that is an equal honor to being known as "the most incredible piece of interactive fiction" in your book. :) I love artists and writers inspiring others! Please let me know what you end up writing, I would love to see it, NeonGreenHoodie, and thank you so so much!!

Hi lianyx! I hope not to disappear, either, and I am sorry that I have gone quite some time without an update! I don't ever predict myself being gone, although I have been slow, which I sincerely apologize for!

One of the main things I worried about is description! Writing it is the bane of my existence because I have to be very inspired, otherwise it will come out all wrong. That's why it's an incredible relief to hear that you can picture everything well!!

Thank you so, so much for all your words and taking the time to let me know your thoughts! It's extremely inspiring to read them! Thank you again, Lianyx!

There's much about the profile page that I want to improve on, and admittedly, it was a rushed design and implementation — so I am always surprised when people say they enjoyed it! I hope to continue to add on to it so that it holds up to the standards I envisioned for it! 

The options, however, was a very deliberate design, and was a huge effort, but a worthwhile one nonetheless, because I know there are people like you who will see and appreciate it!

You brought a great idea! I'll likely give the character the option to change the RO's genders at the beginning of each chapter (I sometimes find myself regretting assigning them a certain way, or perhaps imagining fluidly alternating between gender identities!). Awesome!

Thank you so much for all your compliments, and taking the time to read it!! It's the highest honor to hold your attention in the time that you went through the game! :) Much love, Chesrine!

Ahh, it's so flattering to hear that people want to replay it! It makes giving every choice some unique flavor text all that much more worthwhile. Although, I hope to add more branching paths and hidden scenes in this next chapter, which will be a much more ambitious undertaking, on top of having consequences ripple further out into the story! Thank you so much for taking the time to read! :)

Ahh, thank you so much miss typo!! :) It's just me on the writing, but I have many people to thank for, for making this IF the way it is! I'll do my best to deliver!! 

The writing is so beautiful! I can't find the proper words to describe it. It's perfectly ephemeral and soft -- like snow falling on your tongue, or sand running through your fingers. 

As shown by the narrator, the way they write is dreamy and magical, the way a child views the world. Grasping for romantic descriptions and metaphors demonstrates just how much they cling to their youth, as much as they shame themself for being immature and childish.

The loveliness of the words against the despair of the narrator creates a wonderful contrast that truly conveys the longing, sincerity, and pitifulness of the author of the letter.

Overall, wonderful piece! 

I loved the prose—deceptively simple, and yet so atmospheric with its carefully chosen diction that it sings more like poetry. I was shocked by the first ending I received, and I was subsequently disturbed by every ending afterwards. I felt violated, but most all, disquietened in all of them. Well done!!

Hi avesidora!! For some reason I must have overlooked this extremely sweet comment, I apologize! :(

I am incredibly honored that you took the time to comment, especially when it's not something you usually do! It always means the world to me to know other people's thoughts on my work, especially when they likely dedicated an afternoon to sitting down and reading it -- which is truly no higher praise to receive.

... Except, of course, even going as far as to inspire someone to write!! Please, if you are ever comfortable, share me your own work.  I am so glad you were able to express yourself freely, but more importantly, I'm ecstatic to hear it moved you to be creative as well!

 Thank you so much for your words about the world building and characters, they occupy my thoughts daily! And so sorry to leave you you a cliffhanger!

But most of all, thank you thank you again so much for taking your time to read it and share your thoughts on it, avesidora! And I'm looking forward to seeing your WIPs if you ever intend to publish them! :D (reach out to me if you'd like!!)

Ahh, yes! All writers strive to write the best work they can, but many struggle to make ends meet. They may have to limit their creativity to meet deadlines or cater to an audience. I am extremely thankful to be in a position to take my time in developing the game to my vision, and publish it purely for the sake of sharing a work that I am passionate about! I simply want to write a story that makes me happy, and it would be amazing if it could bring joy to someone else. 

Thank you so much for recognizing this, Kxtra66 ♥️!! The fact that someone took the time to consume something I created is the highest form of flattery for any artist!
