Added to the wishlist on my 2 steam accounts. I hope everyone is doing the same. NaughtyCaptain, I’d encourage you to reach out to your fan base and maybe upload promotional material on whatever you can with an ask for them to add to their wishlists. I looked and didn’t see a video on YouTube. I’m not advertising-smart by any means, but I figure the more folks get to see the game and check it out, the better.

I paid for a couple earlier versions 2 years ago and a year ago and was stuck at the android-only and hadn’t checked it out in a good long while. I tested that same version with JoiPlay last night and the PC version works perfectly on android. I’ll be trying the most recent paid version this evening and catch up on what I’ve missed since my last play through a year ago. It remains one of the most redeeming/evil/soul crushing games I’ve played, depending on the path. I’d put it in the top 5 on this site.

I’m looking forward to being able to purchase it on Steam someday. Let’s make it happen folks. 4,000 wishlists are rookie numbers. If I read the dev log correctly, we need to crack 12,000.

Good luck, TNC. I’m rooting for you.

Thank you for your kind words, and your support!
You're describing what I've been doing regularly since the opening of the Steam store page. And so far, it didn't yield any great results, so... I don't know. I will keep trying, of course, but either I'm doing it wrong or I simply don't have enough reach to have any significant impact on the numbers. I hope that the coming release will help drive some attention...

Thank you!

I did manage to play through the first day and a half in a short session. I can see tons of incremental changes along since the year+ I last played. The sound is a nice addition and there so many little changes I think I caught between the environments… the bathing suit…. the alcohol choice… the dream sequence (the friend character being a little fleshed out with his own scene rather than just a throw away phone character to push narrative a little gives him a little more weight) were all nice touches. I did like the original dream sequence in some ways from a narrative perspective, but I think the new one is a net gain.

Anyways, in about 15 minutes of playing, it’s clear to see a lot of effort went in to the game, even from just looking at an early portion that was just fine but are now just… “more”. I haven’t even approached the branches yet. It’s got to be a little wild “living” with these characters in your head both at their very best and very worst as you’ve slowly chipped away at it to bring it to its eventual conclusions… again, some good… and some very, very, bad. I hope you have a good therapist. 😂

It’s all very impressive though. Great job. 👍

Thank you. That's always nice when your work is appreciated.

Yeah, It's not always easy. Some scenes are pretty rough to write and some others are way more pleasing to work on. But I believe that it's what makes the game and developing it interesting. Life isn't just happiness. And all the negative makes the positive feel better. So... working on this project is quite taxing, at times, but I think it's worth it.

Thank you!
