While I did really like the first version of the demo I think I enjoyed the new one more. Loved Imri’s introduction. It felt like in those movies where you see the protagonist and the camera slowly shifts to show a weird being on the bed that only the MC can see LOL
You just get thrown in there and I actually like that a lot.
Some parts might’ve been rushed but those can be flashed out later imo!
That’s what a WIP is for after all, seeing your faults and make things flow better!

Hey there!
I just discovered this game so I didn’t play the previous demo, whatever it was exactly, but what I know is that I really enjoy the current one.
I’m so curious about so many things.
Still, Imri stole my heart from the very first second 
I guess I can’t resist the appeal of fae/demons/whatever nor the appeal of a romance with an invisible (for other people) strange entity.

Quick progress update, still working on chapter 1 (I’m a slow writer, sorry!) I’m also reworking the romance system, though it probably won’t look much different. I’ve decided to remove requirements for romance and instead put in an ‘issues’ system, so if you do or say something that upsets a character or that they don’t agree with, they might take issue with that. Minor issues can be resolved through talking, doing something for the character or just through time passing, major issues (which will be ‘deal breaker’ type things for characters) will take more effort to resolve, if major issues aren’t resolved you won’t be able to romance that character.
The intention is to basically encourage more natural choices, rather than feeling forced into choosing the romantic/nice options. Anyways, that’s it for this update, hopefully I’ll be done with chapter 1 soon, and thank you again to everyone who’s liked and commented.

Chapter 1 is up! There’s not a lot of changes to what happens, but I’ve reworked/ rewritten most of the chapter. The new ‘issues’ system is in place, (though there are currently only minor issues, nothing major yet). As well as adding more friendly options into interactions. Do let me know if there are any issues (it took me about an hour to run through the code for errors) and hope you all enjoy!
Edit: Oh, and I’ve added Gabe’s questions back in, as well as the option to question other housemates

The prologue seems interesting so far, and the characters are interesting.
Will there be a way to track the degree of issues the characters have with the MC? I guess I get E angry when asking why L is always in jumper, but for now I have no idea whether it’s a minor issue or not.
I also wonder if I can ask L how he feels about E before the kitchen scene, or if I can sneak a can of cider for him.

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for pointing the error out, it should be fixed now.
As for tracking issues, I haven’t decided yet. I want to try to make the whole thing realistic, but I also don’t want people to worry about whether they’ve upset someone or not. For the most part, if you do upset someone, they will act differently towards you and they will usually bring it up, eventually. As for Emilia, she’s not happy, but it’s not enough to cause an issue. However, if she spots you sneaking Leander a drink, that will be an issue. That is also an option now for the home and pub routes 
And how Leander feels about Emilia’s overprotectiveness will come up later in the story, though it is also possible to get a hint depending on choices in the pub route.

woah, I might just simply not really be up to date with horror stuff and such, but yo, using hiccups as something ominous is a concept I had never seen before, it’s such a cool idea!

This!! I thought it was familiar! I remember reading it late 2020. I really like it. This is a story to keep an eye on. You’ve only given us a tidbit and already I am down for all of it. Poly choice of clumsy childhood friend and bad boy rock both your worlds, yes please. Otherworldly entity putting hands on me the way I only let fictional fineies do, here for it.

Quick update, I’ve finished rewrites in chapter 2 and am onto new stuff, hoping to update the demo with the first part of chapter 2 soon.

First part of chapter 2 is up! As always, let me know if you come across any problems or inconsistencies, because I feel like this chapters coding is all over the place. The first ‘major issue’ is introduced in this chapter, though obviously it depends on decisions made. I’m still undecided about whether to display issues or not, if anyone’s got a preference, do let me know.
Hope you all enjoy!

Cannot proceed forward.
Also, when we point out that there’s something on Leander’s cheek, he says “Thank you, first name”
