Aww happy new year to you raazberry! I'm so happy to see you here as well and to think that you spend the new year playing this game makes me feel really touched! Reading this comment really made my new year better, so I hope the game made your new year better as well.
Slight spoilers below
Caleb was a really fun character to write so to hear that you enjoy his antics while still find him sympathetic makes me happy! I like to tease him a lot by making him go through so much stuff but ultimately, I really care about him LOL
I also thought really hard for Aran's design, so I'm truly happy that you find him pretty! The title also went through some revisions and even recently I've been thinking whether it's a good title or not, so it's a relief that you like the title :'D
Just- thank you so much for playing and for your kind comment! They really do mean a lot more than you can think! Have a wonderful 2024 ahead of you and stay hydrated! <3
