I'm such a sucker for previously established romantic relationships that I was surprised by how much I was drawn to X , especially since MC has a history of seeing him in a rather parental light (truly a testament to y'all's writing—I was also drawn to Reed in Perfumare, so Rook may have made me aware that I have a type😭). I was also impressed by the depth of backstory y'all were able to fit into the demo and am super excited to see how the rest of the story will unfold. Also, as usual, the art and UI are gorgeous!

First off, the UI (I think that's what it's called but I'm not super well versed in game design) is gorgeous! Also, I am so invested in all the characters (even the side ones)! The fact that I knew something was off about someone and still fell so hard for them anyway is haunting me. They're like exactly my type, I couldn't help it. That said, I can't wait to see what's next :)

I actually got the perfect ending on my first attempt just because I really like "love" as a nickname. Glad I played through all the other endings after though :)

I have to say I always find your writing so engaging, even just in your responses to other comments. I feel a little sad I didn't make my review of HSL longer after seeing the reviews by others, but it was so difficult to put what I felt from it into words (and I was a bit scared being the first to comment haha). I'm very excited to see your upcoming projects and appreciate that you take the time to explain your thought processes behind them :)

This was incredibly hard to play at certain points, but some part of me felt I had to finish it and I'm glad I did. You handled the subject matter with such care I'm impressed. Chloé's thought process was particularly heart wrenching and it hurts to know how many girls have gone through something similar. I recently had a friend I got into a fight with because I couldn't stand to see him involve himself with someone younger and this has only reaffirmed my convictions. Thank you for sharing your work!

It's truly awful that people have been so nasty to you and those involved in the game :( I'm sure everyone understands your decision and are excited to see where you go from here! I'm sure I'll enjoy it no matter what <3

Mordred's discussion with Arthur after the revelation made me cry. Your work is truly wonderful :)

Anyone on Mac also having problems opening the game? I'm getting a message that the application can't be opened and trying to run the terminal in the MacOS folder isn't working either. If anyone has any ideas, I'd greatly appreciate it! <3

I used the Morse code translator and then put the resulting letters into a Caesar cipher. The most probable came out to be "SGNIDNE UNEM," which I figured was probably an anagram/word scramble. I switched the letters around in my mind and got "ENDINGS MENU." Hope that helps!

So sorry to bother you, but I was wondering where in the game we access the journal entries we've unlocked? My instinct was the book button where the saves are or the gallery on the main menu, but I didn't find them there. Thank you so much for such a wonderful game!

Anyone else still getting errors when trying to customize Cove?

the only thing i needed this year!!! ahh, thank you for giving all of us cove <3

I know you won't see this now that you've gone, but I wanted to say thank you for all the work you put in and that I love your work even if you don't. I don't believe you've disappointed anyone (besides maybe yourself)  and I am glad you are finally putting yourself first. When the things we love start to become obligations rather than passion projects, it is important to take a step back and find what truly makes us happy. Making your art should be something you enjoy, not just something bearable.  I sincerely wish you nothing but the best in all your future endeavours and believe you'll do great whether you return to the world of VNs again or not :)
