@antstiller: I wonder about putting multiple paths. HBH has always been linear to me. What kind of paths could the story have taken, do you think? Also, that painterly art was actually painted! I used watercolor, an acrylic color, pen & pencils, and some Crayola Twistables to make this art, and scanned it. Ton of fun, though the physical & digital touch-ups were difficult. I'm really happy you see this game as beautiful; that's truly wonderful to hear.
@stephen.gurnett: I'm glad to see you replayed it, and that you liked the rhythm. The re-reading mechanic is a very interesting idea (it kinda reminds me of the game Every Day The Same Dream). I'm sorry that I didn't think of it! I don't think I'll be changing HBH with that, but I'm going to keep that mechanic idea in mind for the future; it is a great idea! Also, glad you'll be checking out HCF; it just updated with voice-acting! I hope to see your thoughts soon.
