There are actually a lot of reasons behind some changes. For example, you may notice a lack of characters in the current roster.

I'll be the most transparent as possible:

My initial plans for the game were a complete build for FREE. My reasoning were because the game fits very well in the web format and because it's short, simple and the mechanics are too experimental and hard to sell.

But throughout the year, the game got a lot of polishing and I added a lot of cool stuff that it didn't seem reasonable anymore to give the entire game for free. Not because I'm greedy, but because the game would lose a lot of value and I needed to pay for the all the time spent working on it. Even if it's less than 10 USD, it's something that can make the game stand out more as a professional product made with love and sweat.

So here's the solution I've found:

• The game will be released for FREE in early access and very soon. You'll have access to 4 from the 7 initially intended characters and it won't be just a demo, because you'll be able to play from start to finish as many times as you'd like. This version will be forever free of charge;

• At the same time the visual novel webseries hosted on YouTube on @oximaru_studios 's channel will be released weekly. So if you're satisfied with the initial release of the game and want to know the story, watch the webseries. It'll have almost the entire story. It'll have an ending, don't worry;

• And then I'll continue working on the game and I'll be adding the features I intend for the complete game version. Your feedback on the early acces version will be used as well! And the complete build will be released for a small price. And it'll be released next year here and hopefully on Steam as well.

So, that's it.

Sorry if you were here from the beginning and felt kinda betrayed by this whole thing. I just want to make an awesome game and I want it to be enjoyed by the most people while being reasonable with my life expenses.

So thank you very much for reading through this wall, I really appreciate it.

See you again very soon!
