Route 1 released FOR FREE! Download at the end of the post, thank you so much!

Two years after the incident, Yano has finally become a detective. Together with Mane, they live day by day trying to avoid getting spotted, but that's about to change when they have a slip up for the first time...

What's new?:

A couple things, actually! Be sure to check the newest Devlog for a bit more detailed list of new things added in the latest update.

Final release features:

Three different playable characters!: Each with their own mechanics, to keep things fresh!

Character: Unlock information about the characters as you play the game, and get to know them further! This mechanic will come up later as part of one of the character route's mechanics, so be sure to max them out! (It happens automatically for route 1)

Who done it?: Each chapter, you'll end up having to apply your logical skills to pinpoint the culprit.

However!

Keep in mind that the prologue has a mechanic, where, during Mane's route, you won't see any (other than basic VN mechanics, that is). This extends to bad endings (there is none during his route). 

This is because the mechanic of investigating and finding out things is meant to be for Yano's route (the next one), while Mane's route is meant to be an introduction to the cast of Doce6, as well as getting to know them, their motivations...

I do understand, and take full blame, that this may feel underwhelming, but this was a design choice I made to allow you, as a player, to not worry too much and get to know the characters and the setting at your own pace, with no rush. If, for any reason, you find this route boring, please, don't hesitate to contact me (TSS~Danny#7262 in Discord, @Roxey_Aoreolum in Twitter) to voice your concerns. Thank you very much!

FAQ

Is this your first release? It depends on what you mean with release, but if you mean that if this is my first time doing something from nothing, yes, and I feel very happy with the result. However, it's been a while since the first version came out (around three years!), so I think I can already say it's not.

Hm, even so, I think you could improve some stuff. So do I! That's why I'm always open to any type of criticism. In fact, if you want to directly tell me stuff, you can always contact me via Discord (TSS~Danny#7262) or via Twitter (@Roxey_Aoreolum).

Will this specific release get updates? For the short run, yes it will. This has been just released, and giving the fact that it's magnitude far surpases anything I've done prior to this, I'm expecting errors to be found here and there. This will be getting some small updates, but the current state of the game should be playable without major issues, so I hope you enjoy it regardless!

Do you intend on reaching some kind of milestone before working on the full release? No, of course not. This is my first game and I completely intend it to be something I can use to learn from it. However, if you want to help me by donating, I more than welcome it. If you do, contact me via Discord (TSS~Danny#7262) or Twitter (@Roxey_Aoreolum), please.

Who worked on this visual novel?

NNDanny: Scenario writing, character design, programming

ClaireClockwork: Character graphics

Geoff Moore: Game's OST

Will the final release be free as well? Sadly, no. I'm going to invest a lot of time, and the artists are going to make a big effort to bring the best out of this project. 

...Why did you delete the $5 part from the previous question? ...Simply said, I was naive when I wrote it. I've entered the magical world that is online selling, and it truly is impossible to produce anything of this magnitude without asking for some refund. I am truly sorry that this is the case.  My objective will always be to strive for the most quality that we, as a indie group new to game dev, can produce, regardless of the refund I get out of it. 

What can I do to support this project? Several things, actually! Share it with some friends of yours, comment and leave some feedback, or you can even donate (Patreon) if you want to! Any money gained this way will be used to further improve the quality of this project.  (To donate via PayPal, contact me via Discord)

As for free stuff, I'd highly thank you if you could maybe follow the main twitter account, and/or retweet the tweet where this game is at. Thanks!

How much of the game will be available for free? This can be changed in the future, but as of today, it has been decided that the free version will have the Prologue, Common and the entire route 1 of the game, to serve as a base of what is to come.

Nice reference. Yes.

I'll update this FAQ with more to come questions any of you may have, so, if you want to ask something, just do
