I just wanted to tell you that I really like this IF and feel that it deserves much more attention than it's gotten so far. For some reason it rarely appears among the related games when I've been exploring another itch IF, I don't know why this is, but I do think that's a huge shame.
I particularly like interacting with the other characters and finding out their secrets and, particularly the Sarah romance. If I could have changed anything, it would have been to have less horror and even more focus on the interactions with the other characters and not having to worry about saving them. Of course, you're the writer and the one who decides how to do things. But I wanted you to know that I think making interesting NPCs and MC/NPC interactions is an area where you really shine and that the discovering secret mechanic is a really fun and interesting one. So if you should ever make another IF without the horror element, but with the same amount of interesting NPCs, enjoyable romance and still using that secret mechanic, I'd be really interested in reading/playing that.
