Oh no! My life and my relationship to the story got kinda stressful and weird for a bit, and I fell off posting updates here. But that's not important today, because the visual novel demo is finally out!

Thank you so much to Benedict and Zerovirus for their help with the project, and also to Xeecee, who has done some of the music! (Though only three of their tracks made it into the demo; the rest will be later.) It's been a real learning experience so far, but hopefully this is just the start! Please give it a try and let us know what you think.

And if you have no idea what this is, The Flower That Bloomed Nowhere is a slow paced mystery novel centered around a class of mages visiting an organization trying to reach immortality, originally posted on somewhat-inappropriately on Royal Road. If you like this and haven't read it... well, it's a little sloppy in comparison, but consider taking a look at it too.
