New update

Added 2025-09-05 16:42:16 +0000 UTC

This update is quite interesting technically, which I'm going to elaborate on in a moment :D All in all, it's about 10 000 words, and it adds the part where your MC tries to escape from prison.

Now this will be a big branch in this chapter and it will also have lasting consequences for the later part of the game. The one where MC escapes will play out very differently than the one where you choose to stay put and let your friends find you. This latter isn't written yet and probably won't be until I'm finished with the escape route.

Additionally, those who are on Zaia's route will also get quite different scenes starting from the next update.

In any case, here is the interesting part:

If you try to escape, you will get three chances to do so. You can choose them in any order:

1st option will have a 20% chance to succeed. It's not a stat check, just a random die roll. If you get lucky, your MC will escape. If not, the story will take you back to the second option.
2nd option will also have a 20% chance of success. Again, if you succeed, your MC gets out. If not, you'll get the third option.
3rd option also has a 20% chance. If you don't succeed here either, your MC will be stuck in prison and you'll be put on the wait-to-be-rescued branch, which doesn't exist yet, so at the moment, I'll redirect you to the escape part.

For the fun of it (and to see more of the writing if you're interested) it's recommended to try out all three options and see both the stuck and successful scenes! You can do that by saving before the choice and reloading the scenes :)))

I hope you'll have fun reading!
