Story
Troubles, like flowers, begin as seeds. And what else, but trouble, could come from encountering a person you're sure you've met, but have completely forgotten? It's easy to tell yourself you're mistaken when you live in Altea Rosata– a megalopolis where thousands of people come and go like the wind and seasons. When you're Hunter Toprak, you can tell yourself you're mistaken, but you learned a long time ago that sometimes the things you tell yourself aren't true. What good would come of prying into the life of the moody and mysterious Renard Wu? Is it just satisfying a curiosity, or is it some kind of fate?

About the Game + Purpose of this thread
Fox in the Hollyhocks is episode 1 of 3 in the Renhunt series. It's going to be pretty Event Illustration/CG heavy because I'm my own artist so I CAN.... The full version is most likely going to be a commercial release. I have no idea what price I would set yet though. I'm planning on releasing an updated demo by the end of the year
I've mostly been doing updates on twitter (which is a mess) and I'd like a place for keeping updates together that isn't quite as formal as a blog..! So with some discipline I'm hoping to do some weekly or biweekly updates/progress reports here. I'll probably mirror updates on tumblr as well.
