Enjoyed this a lot! I was wondering if you had an estimate on when the third route might be available?
Thank you for playing!
While I can't give a specific date for the third route to be released, but I can say we're definitely shooting for around a mid-2024 release for the route.
This was so good!!!! I just got the Gloria ending and route, and I'll do the other one later, but what I saw already left me very happy and eager for that third love interest in the future. It's as long as it needs to be; the hunting minigame (and especially the art for the more fucked up creatures) is very neat and the conversations flow nicely. I can see these people getting together and clicking well.
Of course it seems like there's more to the forest than at first anticipated but that's not the focus, just some nice added flavor. I had a really good time with this one, and I'm eager to play more!!
Great job :D
Thank you for the kind words! I really appreciate it, glad you enjoyed Gloria's route!
