Really loved the moody boarding school setting and the Lovecraft undertones to this game, and I'm looking forward to more chapters! I'm on Fothy's route <3
I hate this demo, because it's too short. xP
Seriously, I look forward to seeing more of it! While I liked most of the boys, I think I'd have to say Robin is my favorite so far...
Will Cthulhu be a romance interest? Also, why do they look like teenagers if they're suppossed to be full grown adults?
Unfortunately, I won't be including direct appearances of any actual Lovecraft characters; Cthulhu will probably be referenced, but nothing more than that. There may be other eldritch horrors to romance, though...
And they look like teenagers because they are teenagers. Sorry if I gave the impression that they're supposed to be older.
Yeah, the intro made me think they were older, no teenagers... Kinda misleading, tbh.
Well, that was certainly unintentional. Would you be able to tell me what things led you to this assumption? Thanks.
Probably it was my fault, I thought they'd be older, the intro paragraph made me think that, but I did skimmed through it now that I've read it again I see where I made the mistake. Sorry.
