Demo Update: Chapter 7
Added 2021-03-07 23:32:13 +0000 UTCHere's the rest of Mind Blind's Chapter 7!
Average playthrough is now 52,000 words (214,000 total), but the new content can be either a lot longer or shorter based on which route you chose back in Chapter 1.

This update was mostly focused on finishing up Chapter 7 so that Chapter 8's varying scenes can begin right away--you'll be able to choose a scene with either Glitch or Sally, and then with Rosy or Gray. (Chapter 8 will be updated for Patreon March 26.)
The subway route finally begins paying off in this latest chapter, especially if you gathered all three clues about a certain piece of art. Those Buttons who went a different way to school might find that there's not a whole lot new in this update (unless they're romancing Gray, in which case a certain action finally sets his romance route trigger).
Also: I did research all the high-tech gadgetry used in HQ, but let me know if anything is inaccurate! I'm very much not a scientist, so have spent hours reading journals and articles on tech over the last few weeks.

Daddy issues to match Button’s mommy issues. Truly they were made for each other 😅

2021-03-08 22:16:11 +0000 UTCI'm going to tweak the scene to allow for greater variety, but Button will need to react in a visible way for Gray to know that OH OK MAYBE THEY REALLY DO LIKE ME (he is a dense boy). Also, Button needs to eventually show that they're willing to be emotional vulnerable to initiate Gray's full romance . . . because once Nick is out of their head, it will cease being a choice. And one of Gray's greatest hesitancy about starting a relationship with Button is intruding on their privacy and hearing thoughts that Button is unwilling to show.

2021-03-08 22:15:25 +0000 UTCHi Jo! I really enjoyed the update (as always!). I have a small piece of feedback about the Gray lock-in at the end. SPOLIERS? BELOW Would it be possible to add a different option for Buttons who are shy or particularly fond of their privacy? The lock-in choice right now is tantamount to a public declaration, and it doesn't really feel right for a Button who is conscious of prying eyes. Hope that makes sense! Great work as usual <3
2021-03-08 18:13:19 +0000 UTCCan I just say I love that the things Button knows for sure about K are that they 1) love dogs and 2) love messing with people and Kmancing Button is still like “That one. I want that one.”

2021-03-08 03:45:31 +0000 UTCThe second-hand embarrassment from an awkward Button being interested in K and knowing Nick has to witness all Button's thoughts in this matter absolutely kills me. XD
