Who is really hiding on the...

The process of working on the visual novel script

We decided to change the structure of the visual novel’s script. Previously, players could view all the dialogues, and there were only a few unique choices. Now, the game will feature more meaningful decisions that affect the story. This will lead not only to different endings, but also to diff...

A little bit of information about the visual novel

We’ve run into some technical issues, so while Wes is sorting them out, I decided to return to the novel.
We’ve decided to rework the script (the demo version will become longer), update the locations, and change the art style. The novel will turn out a bit chaotic, hopefully in a good way...
