I'm familiar with crying due to tragic things happening in fiction, but this is one of those great pieces of art where the characters are written so well that I find myself crying even more when I get to see the characters thriving.

I hope you are doing well Matt. I played through this fvn some time ago, and came back to see how it was going. I'm very sorry to hear about all of the difficulties you've been going through in your personal life.

Even if this project is cancelled, I hope that future fvns take some inspiration from this. You showed off many excellent and creative ideas in the content that was released, which made the reading experience incredibly enjoyable, that I have not seen much in other fvns.

Take care, mattmalificum!

Inner peace, inner peace, inner peace, I have found inner peace.

(Thank you!)

Does anything happen if you take Alon's bribe multiple times? I've maybe possibly accepted it three times so far, and maybe possibly only noticed minor changes with Chekhov's bomb and a couple other things.

You can just extract the gamefiles.rpa file, then extract the  images.rpa file to access the sprites and cgs. They have some images posted on their website as well.

If you haven't already finished up to the currently completed parts of the game, watch out for spoilers if you do this.

That's also a very important perspective, though I think what I and shylover were talking about specifically was people in the fanbase saying that because Sam is a sex worker, he is not and is not able to be a "faithful" partner, because again, "faithful" (still a bad word for this) means whatever the people in the relationship want it to mean. Not that "sex workers aren't faithful" was a problem present in the  actual narrative of TSR (or at the least, that was not something I was communicating).

This is definitely true, and there is an ongoing harmful perception that people who do sex work are seen as "unfaithful" partners as well (not even necessarily if they are currently involved in sex work, but that if someone has ever participated in sex work then they cannot be "faithful"). What "faithful" means is something that the people participating in the relationship decide on.

(Though honestly I kind of hate this "faithful" word and it's application to relationships in this way. It feels like such a shallow way of describing a romantic relationship).

Yeah, like, Will's connection with Sam is the entire reason he felt comfortable and was able to take pleasure in the whole scene to begin with? It's like people just turned off their reading comprehension for that part.

I am so confused by all the backlash. The way people are talking about the scene with Kane makes it sound almost like they downloaded a different version of the game. So confused about some of the comments talking about wanting Will to be "faithful" to Sam as well. It's obvious that the relationship dynamics here as well with other routes are non-standard. The fact that Will and Sam aren't fitting their relationship into a typical monogamous box doesn't suddenly make them morally reprehensible or delegitimize their connection to each other as not being "faithful", whatever that means in this context.

If you're using windows you may need to turn off "Check apps and files" under apps and browser control to run the game.
