This update ended up bigger than I intended. Kinda defeats the purpose of calling it .5 but we'll let it stick. While it's still smaller than the other updates, it was definitely a technical challenge so please let me know if you encounter any bugs or oddities. Or just let me know what you think overall!

If you're liking the project so far, feel free to stop by and discuss it on the Discord! I'd also appreciate any support I can get on Patreon!

Tried to shoot for a smaller update this time around while I reorient some things for the future. I've been experimenting quite a bit with the visuals this update, let me know if the changes are noticeable and if you consider them an improvement! Eventually I'd like to go back and apply the changes to the rest of the game, but only if people actually like it.

Tabitha is now hanging out in Sanctus! I'll be pushing more events with her in the next update but I hope you guys enjoy her introduction. Her addition to the game gave me quite a bit of trouble, but she'll pave the road for more additional characters in the future. The next update will most likely focus once more on character events as they begin to converge.

Edit - Just noticed an error I left in the game, in which Varsha's latest event and one of Beatrice's events plays out under the assumption that you made certain choices. Sorry about that, I'll be working on alternate scenes for those particular situations.
