No GenAI was used at any point in the writing or art of this game. Any mistakes, imperfections, or inconsistences are plain old human error.

All artwork and designs are property of ghost-heart and the artists listed above. Please don’t reuse art assets elsewhere. Please don’t reupload this game elsewhere.

This is my first attempt at making a visual novel, which is more than a little terrifying. If there are any bugs or other errors, please message me directly or leave a comment below. I’ll try to fix anything as soon as possible, but please bear with me if it takes a bit of time.

This is part 1 of a longer story. There will be 5 parts in total. The rest of the story is already fully written, and will be uploaded in full once the art assets are ready. This should be before the end of the year. The full story will be free to play, too. 

Thank you and enjoy!
