There, there *offers tissue*.
I'm glad you liked it, though. Thanks for the kind words!

I thought this was fantastic. I can't believe it took me so long to play it. Perhaps I thought it was so good because it had a really positive pro-life message (you meant that, right?). Anyway, it was deep and sweet and if I was playing it while I was pregnant I would totally get over-emotional about it and be crying. Haha.
I'd almost like to see a depressing ending if it was a still-birth or an abortion, but that would almost be too deep. And wouldn't have been a very nice gift for your twin! Haha!
But it's great how you've recognized how cognisant a fetus can be and how they can recognize their mother's voice and have a bond with their twin from the womb.
I will totally recommend this VN to people!

Woah, thanks Godline!
I suppose the story does have a bit of a pro-life message, though I should clarify that that message wasn't exactly why I made this game. It is, however, a message that goes hand-in-hand with the story as a whole.
Also, I think an ending similar to the one you described would be very, very depressing, since bond is a kind of a celebration of my mother's life(yes, I'm a twin irl), that she is still alive and loves me and my sister very, very much.
__________________________
Everyone, I promised an update, and in case you're wondering why it's taking so long, I just want to say that real life has been quite hectic lately. Sorry about that!
I am thinking about doing a in-game Q&A section, though, unlocked after the game's completion. So, if you have any questions you want me to answer about bond, PM me or put them here(with appropriate spoiler tags), and I will definitely answer them in the update! Please try to do that by this Friday, March 1. Thank you!

Hey, guys! You only have a little longer to give me your question if you have any! I've gotten one so far, and it's a good one, so if you have any questions, PM me or post them here with appropriate spoiler tags. Alternatively, you could tweet me with a question, if that's what you prefer. Remember, the deadline is tomorrow, March 1!

Alright guys, as much as I wanted to do a Q&A section, I unfortunately didn't get enough questions-- I only got one. So, the update will be out tomorrow, but without a Q&A. See you guys tomorrow!

As of last night, version 1.05 of bond is up!
[url=http://tophat_haze.itch.io/bond]
Download bond 1.05 here!
[/url]
What's in this version:
-a game icon
-some script changes(i.e using "little one" less often)
-a new sound effect at the end, from soundbible.com(I would say what it is, but it's spoilery)
Enjoy! And to everyone who's played the game so far, thank you very much!

Is it okay to necro a post of a completed game? I hope it's okay. I hope nobody comes to murder me.
I admit-- considering the "drama" section of things, I wasn't expecting a story about... that. I was fully expecting Mother to be like some terrifying tyrannical monster who employs emotional manipulation and abuse. I AM GLAD TO BE PROVEN WRONG.
I really like the "story", though it took me a while to not feel creeped out by the Mother. Sorry, instincts tell me that any VN in which a Mother is an ambiguous figure is possibly the voice of the devil.
As for the other things-- the GUI is absolutely lovely. I really love the save menu-- it's simple and nice and very, very effective. I really love it. The things you did with all those text that pulsate are great, too, and I'm really impressed. You made a very atmospheric vn about a topic I never thought someone would take up, and you pulled it off well, too. Kudos.
My only complaint is just script color, but that's just because I don't like magenta. Don't mind me!
