changedVisualsA few of the visuals have been slightly improved to look better, with a special focus on ensuring the heroine looks pretty. Importantly this includes the first image the players see, which will potentially create a lasting impression and is problematic if she doesn't look her best in it. Some extra experiments were done on how to render these images in a better way and the result finally felt satisfying enough to publish. Hope you enjoy it too.
addedImprovements to the dead end routeSome visual novels have a "bad ending" dead end where the hero dies and the story stops, and the player is supposed to restart. This one has a "good ending" dead end where the heroine is saved... from the rest of the game. It just felt right to have it but it seems some players are a bit too tempted to choose that. So added a few more roadblocks in their way, and also a message in the end ensuring they know there's more and better content to see by making... poor decisions.
