Ahh thanks! That's so sweet of you.
As for your question: I actually started with the characters and crafted the story around them. I also knew I wanted there to be some sort of mystery aspect (with supernatural elements) so thus, WTS was born. I simply kept reworking stuff over and over until I had (a flimsy excuse) a plot I could work with and then slowly shaped it.
If you're stuck on choosing genders, I'd use the randomize button. I don't have a preference for how I see my characters (and wouldn't want to state so to give players the idea that there is a "canon gender"). From a developer standpoint, however, I give them all they/them pronouns in my head (mostly for coding purposes).
Aww this is such a wonderful comment to receive. I'm so glad you felt so taken by these characters—they live in my head rent free, so knowing they also take up space in other people's thoughts is surreal and so flattering. They're truly my favourite part about writing this. (Also, no plans to abandon this so don't worry <3)
I'll likely post some kind of walkthrough when the game is finished, but truly, there isn't much to be 'walked through'. Locked choices don't tend to have any consequences, just flavour text.
And no, it doesn't matter if you romance multiple characters now, but eventually the game will ask you to choose. Poly routes are being considered, but if I go through with it, it won't be in the initial romance lock <3
