I left a proper review earlier, but I will say in the comments here as well, everything about this story already has me intrigued, the setting is interesting, the current mystery you laid out has me already trying to theorize and speculate.
Then most importantly the cast of characters are already so unique and charming in their own ways, I adore Silas' contrasting personality compared to his outward appearance, Zeke is a wonderful protagonist which can be key to a VN since they are who you see the entire story through the eyes of, and of course I can't forget my beloved Jake, he's already proven to be witty, snarky, funny, and most importantly can be very caring when it matters in his own ways and his dynamic with Zeke is already the cause for so many of my laughs and smiles in just this first build.
I look forward to my next visit to Silverstone with much anticipation till then rest up ya'll deserve it and I can't wait to see what you all continue to cook.
