I enjoyed what there is so far. Feels like a thriller mystery with several unanswered questions, personally i hope it will lean a little more into self doubt and unreliable narrator angle, with player questioning what we did and what we didn’t do and how much can we trust ourselves. The atmosphere is dark and thick and i am interested in what’s going on. I hope it will turn out well.

Collected couple little typos while reading.

I assume it should be “you can ask either of them later”.

I assume it’s “From what you’ve come to know”.

Interesting start! Excited for more!

This story is so intriguing. I love the dark atmosphere, the tension, and the mystery around your eccentrics characters. I can’t wait for the next update.

Loved it so far and I’m hooked about how the story continues. You’re writing style is perfect for this kind of storyline! It was so well written that I actually could immerse myself into the world and story. The descriptions of the characters and beings of the forest, as well as the world itself, made me have goosebumps and gave me an eerie feeling. Which I love and not many writers achieved for me! I’m excited for every update that is about to come :smiley:

Hi Velena, im loving the wip, as for now, the game stop right at chapter 1 right ? I tried to press the next botton to play the chapter 2 and the game insta crash, as for the ROs, I’m enjoying the two romance options. By the way, regarding that: is there any way to save or help the hag (Veran / Vasilina) with his/her powers, aging, and so on? I like her character, but I don’t think it would make sense—or be worth it—for the MC to end up with someone who would grow old and die in what is supposedly such a short time (she’s 30 but already has a lot of gray hair and signs of aging). Couldn’t we intervene with the gods or become warlocks ourselves? Maybe alter the pact so we keep serving the Goddess of Death, or something like that ? I also curious about how the Yara character is gonna be, can you give us a little spoiler about her ?

Does anyone know what happened to the author’s tumblr? I saw their update posts last week, but now the tumblr isn’t loading for me. Have they moved somewhere else or is the blog temporarily unavailable? (sorry if this isn’t the right place to ask)

Seems the blog is deleted, just as the first post is. I hope the author is okay.
