Problem Reporting:

If during your playthrough of the game, you run into bugs, errors, spelling mistakes, or anything that seems unintentional, please let me know. To make sure I catch the issue, please begin the comment with <<Problem Note>>. This will allow me to go through and easily discern from comments of people just hating the game, and a bug that can be fixed. I am very bad at spelling and grammar, so if you catch anything please let me know. Your feedback on the game is very much appreciated, however, saying the game sucks or that it’s just bad doesn’t really get anywhere. Please explain what about the game is upsetting you, so I may be able to address the problem.

Future plans:

This game was originally supposed to be a one off, but after learning how long it took me to make this game, it became the first piece of a much larger world. I currently have a rough idea for 2 possible different prequels, and a potential sequel. I also have plans for games set in different worlds. The games that I work on will likely be a mix of which games get well received, and which games I am excited to work on. This game took me almost a year to complete, and from the way my plans are going, I expect any future games to take longer. If I do begin to work on another game, there will be updates along the development timeline to let you all know that there is content coming.
