AugustEsoterica, this is so great! Excellent balance of tension and comedy, I'm on the edge of my seat. I feel like you're answering the question of what to play after Caribdis.
I'm excited to see where things go, and I hope you get the funding and time to work on this passion project. You should open up a SubscribeStar, capture the people who don't use Patreon.
Take care out there, and stay awesome!
