Draft Update 20/08/25

(I have to confess, I basically didn't write this week. This update was close to done last Thursday, but I couldn't focus and get it over the line because I had too many little things I needed ...

Draft Update 06/08/25

(If you follow the discord, you know I wanted to make some edits to the previous draft before it went live, and I still do - but I just haven't had time to figure out exactly how to do it. Some...

Draft Update 30/07/25

(My hard drive died! Fortunately everything is more or less okay. I lost a bit of progress on this chapter, but nothing serious.

I'm worried this one might be a bit too worldbuil...

Draft Update 17/07/25

(I said last week that the chapter was a little short because I wanted to get things strictly back on the proper day, and here I am a week later a day late again, and with an even shorter chapt...

Draft Update 09/07/25

(I originally planned for this update to be a bit longer, but I decided to prioritize sticking to the right day after being unreliable with that recently. Well, it's still decent, even if it's ...

Draft Update 03/07/25

(This one didn't come easily. I had a death in the family and, even though we weren't close, they live internationally and the whole process was drawn out and unpleasant. So I've been off-kilte...

Draft Update 19/06/25

(Sorry this one's a bit late. I got a bit delayed by bad sleep, and then I figured I might as well add a bit more to it since it was kind of short. The plan is for this arc to be told a bit dif...

Draft Update 11/06/25

(Shorter chapter this time around again after last week's long one. I worked a lot on the VN script though! The part that'll become the demo is almost done.)

Draft Update 04/06/25

(It's probably a good thing I didn't try to combine this with the previous chapter in the end, because this is one of the longest I've written in a fair while. The total would have been about 1...

Draft Update 22/05/25

(Things did not go super well this week. This needed to be a long chapter to begin with, and I realized I'd created a bit of plotting error in this segment, throwing off the rhythm of my usual ...

Draft Update 14/05/25

(Penultimate chapter of the section. It's probably possible to solve a few things about this mystery now, though since there's been no murder yet, obviously not the full thing.)

Draft Update 07/05/25

Draft Update 20/03/25

(I'm still not sure about this, but I couldn't really come to any contrary resolution over the past week, so I decided to just try and drop my doubts and go for it with this one. I still might ...

Draft (?) Update 13/03/25

(So I wish I could return from this past missing week with a meaty chapter as often happens, but things have gone a little awry. So to give a little background, since basically I started this p...

Draft Update 28/02/25

Draft Update 19/02/25
