AHH

A couple scenes from a little gay vampire story I was kicking around a couple years ago! I sometimes do little pencils-only scenes for things and never post them. But I was looking back at these and was like why not? They're cute!

Bat sisters >:3

New little art dolls I made!

Their wings are poseable!!

They have joined my clown baby

Anyway, love both your games! I hope you guys aren't overworking youselves 🥰 I'm forcing my boyfriend to play SH and he seems to like it, too

Aw, thank you so much for your interest, and for playing!! I think I would perish if I had to draw out a decision tree for Episode 5 XD You're entirely right that the scope is a bit large for it at this point. As an example, the part after you leave the Estate where you choose who to turn to has 27 possible scene variants, most of which are determined by decisions made in previous episodes. Charting that would be..... horrific lol.

I'm not sure what the reception has been, from other people's POV! We have a lot of discussion with the alpha testers as we release scenes for testing, so we can get a handle on whether the narrative is landing the way we want it to. But once it's all out there, I tend to disengage from fan spaces. So I only see what Tony shows me, or fanart that comes across my feed :]

My impression of the reception is that people see her the way we wanted them to, with all her flaws, and many find her more compelling than ever for that. I'm sure that means there are some who now feel like she isn't the person they thought she was, but that's inevitable when people are engaging with an ongoing story-- we can foreshadow all we want for how a character arc is going to play out, but that doesn't mean everybody is gonna pick up on it until it starts to unfold!

TWO DAYS AFTER SAVING THIS AS A DRAFT: Okay now I'm seeing some Posts

They absolutely could have dealt with it.

But of course, the tragedy is that they didn't, and now it's too late. She chose a path, and tried to deal with the problem in a way that made sense to her, and a way that she could control. And now their relationship is so thoroughly damaged by the betrayal of trust that her worst fears have manifested— she made them real by believing them to be real— and there's no going back and trying to fix it now.

We'll be putting out a patch for Episode 5 that includes the church as a location to visit! You're certainly not alone, we've had quite a few people ask about the Pastor. Which is good, I'm glad people want more of him >:]

Really looking forward to adding it, and wish we could have fit it in before launch. But alas, we have to pick release dates many months in advance, so it can get pretty down to the wire, and we didn't want to rush it (and delaying is a whole Thing, so that wasn't an option either lol.)

It is true... Hawaiian shirt Oscar is no more U_U
