Updated 04/06/2024. I ran out of time to do all the things I wanted to, so I'm uploading what I have since I've been crunching for the past few days. While this game is 100% finished, I plan on releasing a more complete version that will include a slightly revised script and new artwork.
Full credits can be found in game.

uuhh i really wanted to download the game but my computer tells me there's a trojan on it 😭😭 tried it twice
Hi, I'm so sorry about that!!! There shouldn't have been anything wrong with the files, but I re-uploaded all three just to make sure. I'm pretty sure that this is a common issue with Ren'Py, games, but I can assure you it isn't a trojan ;-;
What age rating would you give your game?
Probably a 16+. Does this help?
It does! Thank you! ^-^
