whenever I read this, I only ever imagine the sweet boy as a black labrador. I don't know why, I've never had a black labrador, I just cannot imagine him otherwise
I'm afraid I don't watch any anime, so any references there would be purely accidental 😅 black dogs are a bit of british folklore that I've always been fond of
Look into 'the ancient magus bride'.. grrayt and pretty fantasy show of modern day times with the fantasy elements being exclusively European, said Black Dog becomes a main character. 😘 Consider it research?
Clearly, you are waiting for the second game to romance Gavin, anyway hope you're good with kids!
(A game where you play as "The Witness" instead of "The Speaker" you have no relation to the others family except for your relationship with Gavin Cowles obviously.)
Not Rory letting me live out my dreams of petting coyotes! I love the danger puppies! Him and Wojtek (Black Dog) are feeding me all my dog content needs <3
OOHOOHOO what a great story!! I need to romance Sebastian right now, but also the other boys, and also find out what the HELL is going on, because I'm obsessed. The magic in this world is so so so amazing even for how little we're taught about it! It just feels REAL! Fantastic work!
I'm loving this so far. It's very well written and I love how all of the options you choose affect little things. Makes me really feel involved in the world.
AAAAA I LOVE THE REWRITE! At the very start everything looks so different not only by the background style but also with your writing, because now it feels like the world is more fleshed out and immersive. Especially with the little tidbits about how humans react towards the Old Town. I really love the Codex part cause it feels very immersive and has additional lore that keeps up with everything but doesn't intrude with the main story. I also love how the MC and their twin sister's relationship and dynamic started to really take attention at the very start, and also how customizable MC has become with the pronouns, little facts about them we can influence, and how much accessories we can add on in MC. And the characters! I don't know if anything's changed but in my opinion they felt more alive, which probably means they've been rewritten to be livelier but I can't tell!! Aaaa I really love it and I loved replaying it, never once thought of how boring or redundant it was, I can't wait to see more!!
Waaaaa!! After the rewrite the characters feel more real! And the flow of the story is AMAZING now!! This is a very big improvement! Hehe, I love it >:3
Even after the rewrite, L and S somehow still manage to have my whole heart. I very much like how immersive this game is, and I continue to wait with bated breath for what comes next! :)
Ive played many text based story games, but none have pulled me into the story as much as this one. Its written well, the characters are unique and likeable, the customization is diverse and the choices finally make sense, unlike most other games.
I feel like i am actually able to lose someone or something, i dont think ive ever cared about a fictional sibling like this before.
The story line is intruiging and exciting, there are no boring breaks where nothing happens. It always leaves you hoping for more and more, to find out just what could happen next. What is happening? Why is there a curse in the first place? will our sister be alright? is there something deeper, more ominous lurking and waiting for us? why are we told to ´awaken´? When will i see our dog again? These are the questions that have been haunting me the entire day.
While i like that the rom dialogue options are pointed out, i sometimes couldnt choose between choosing them or choosing what i would actually want to do. For example, while we are numb, i really tried to have it stay that way but just couldnt because i felt like i would miss something if i didnt choose the other options.
Overall i am very intruiged and excited to see what comes next! Amazing work.
I just wanted to say, the story (on the current moment of the demo) left me speechless and made me genuinely feel for characters, i've grown fond of pretty much every character in the current story (and fell in love in a couple of them ;) )
Аnd this is the first game to introduce me to this kind of novels, now being my favorite piece of media, thank you very much for your incredible story and characters, i love it!
Аlso it introduced me to perfect pronouns that i didn't know existed, and now i'm using e/em/eir!! ^^
yes! I'm currently most of the way through reworking the first 3 chapters, but Speaker is still very much being worked on! I make regular progress reports on tumblr as well :D

Do saves not work on iPad? :(
They should, a lot of browsers don’t work with twine saves though, try changing that-Chrome usually works well.

SUCH A DREAM OF A GAME HOLY COW I CAN'T WAIT FOR MORE
Love this 🥰. This is such an amazing story with interesting characters and an intriguing plot. Truly a hidden jem.
#LiAndSebbyForLife😘
Liam is life.
There's a polyam option with Sebastian and Liam?! MY DREAM! I hope I'm on the right path to having that happen LOL
YEAHHHH
HEY WAIT I KNOW YOU FROM SOMEWHERE
Waht
whenever I read this, I only ever imagine the sweet boy as a black labrador. I don't know why, I've never had a black labrador, I just cannot imagine him otherwise
It's a pretty dead on reference to a "black dog" from a particular anime... but i won't link it and spoil your image 👍
I'm afraid I don't watch any anime, so any references there would be purely accidental 😅 black dogs are a bit of british folklore that I've always been fond of

Not me wanting to romance Gavin and naming my dog after alcohol
Clearly, you are waiting for the second game to romance Gavin, anyway hope you're good with kids!
(A game where you play as "The Witness" instead of "The Speaker" you have no relation to the others family except for your relationship with Gavin Cowles obviously.)
that actually sounds beautiful and i want it so bad
Not Rory letting me live out my dreams of petting coyotes! I love the danger puppies! Him and Wojtek (Black Dog) are feeding me all my dog content needs <3

Li Rory and Bas are all under arrest for stealing my heart.
Petition to add Rory to the poly route
(im only half joking.. gives me an excuse to replay ;) )
I need more of this IF! Li's route is ❤️❤️❤️.
I'm looking forward the next chapter! 😍😍😍
excited to play the rewrite!!! <33

This has to be my favourite one so far.

the characters are all written out so well. i'll now be waiting for your updates. keep up the good work!

Also, the irony
Detective: said to be a (kind of) cold character
(and i kinda assumed at first that he has Gavin Reed's meanie vibe)
and literally me the rest of the game:
*screams and feels for Sebastian, feeling like he's the most warm and gentle man i know*
is it possible to have a more silent mc or no? I love the IF so far! im just curious
More?!? This is still being worked on right?
yes! I'm currently most of the way through reworking the first 3 chapters, but Speaker is still very much being worked on! I make regular progress reports on tumblr as well :D
