Put in a small payment on here since you paused Patreon payments and I still wanted to support. This is in my top 3 favorite VNs - really enjoy your work!

Hope you've been having a great holiday season!

Author's computer broke and had to be replaced, so the release was delayed. They were also originally planning to work for a month on their prequel VN (A Part of Me Who Died on Sunday), but they put that on hold (presumably) since things got so delayed due to the computer issues.

It's resolved now and they're updating as usual again - patron release is already out, and public release will follow on the 29th.

World of Darkness is a tabletop RPG system/universe with a similar premise - basically hidden societies similar to the way they're done in Crimson High. Pretty famous video game made around it was Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines.

Given you didn't know about it, it's impressive some of the parallels that coincidentally can be found to it.

In any case, excited for more!

Really awesome story so far. Feels like it pulls influence from World of Darkness, but puts its own fun spin on it. Excited to slowly discover what makes MC "special", with some theories floating in my head. Also the cliffhanger is pretty brutal, subscribed on Patreon so I could get the next update a bit earlier!

Ren'Py has a limit of 2 GB for its Android package builds. Some authors do workarounds, like separating the game across multiple downloadable versions (where save files at the end of the first release will load into the second release), or releasing a version with heavily compressed assets (leading to visual quality loss and sometimes just getting rid of music altogether), but many don't bother.

The "patch" download for 0.12 seems somewhat broken (based on the MEGA download at least). Downloading and installing the full version to update worked fine. Specifically what I found when using the "patch" update (trying to avoid spoilers as much as possible):

• Missing assets during several main events. This is mostly starting with the surreal events with Juna when the new character is introduced, and all assets are missing during the sequence where the new character is brought to the Garden.
• A script error screen when trying to "Go Home" in the Afternoon after a change (involving Dayai) to the scene that happens when going home occurs.

Enjoyed the game a lot so far, and am looking forward to seeing where the story goes. The new events with Dayai and Juna in the 0.12 release were wild!

I like the new interface changes as well, but was wondering if there might be plans to enhance it further with the following:

• Universal toggle for hints (instead of having to toggle it for each events section/character)
• More specific hints (eg. location/time/day to trigger)
• Hints for Light/Dream events

As much as I like the game, sometimes it's a bit tedious to find events through process of elimination or having to go to an external wiki, so these enhancements would make the game a lot more enjoyable for me.
