Loved this demo and how the characters are written, the concept of Aparto is nice too (especially the social media part !) ! I hope this game wasn't dropped as the late update was in 2022 I'd love to see the full release :(
Hi, thanks so much for enjoying our game! Unfortunately, this demo was created as a group project for our college final showcase assignment. The dev team has disbanded as we’ve all graduated.
While I can’t speak for the others, I can say that game development still means very much to me and I have worked on several jam projects since then with other teams.
And although, the discontinuation of this game may be disheartening, I can promise you I still plan to create more enjoyable visual novels like this one in the near future and can only hope to have your support. Thanks again!
Thank you for your reply ! As sad as the discontinuation of the game is I will definitely wait for more visual novels and support you in this new journey !!
