This definitely has my interest, although the premature apology makes me a little nervous, haha. Good luck!

Thank you for the interest! Ahah, don't worry too much.
I was referring to 'True Ends' being unpopular from a narrative/game design perspective!? IDK if they actually are though, I might be assuming they are when they're not!

Oh, makes sense! For me it usually depends how a "true end" is handled, but I've tended to like them in most of the games I've played that have them. I think where they tend to go over especially poorly is when there's multiple romance routes but only one of them is the "right" or "true" ending.

Here is a screenshot from yesterday.
I have finished coding the art in. So now on to music and then if I have time I would like to do some polish.
(luckily there is an extension to the jam this year!)

@Zelan - Yes, I totally agree. Depends totally on the nature of the VN and how it's handled. As this is a short story, it should be fine!
