How are you? Just checking on you and I mean you, not the story.
Ohhh ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿฅน
Hello warm marshmallow ! ๐Ÿ˜Š
(I don't know why it only appeared today in my notifications ๐Ÿ˜ญ)
I'm very fine ! Thank you very much for checking on me ๐Ÿฅฐ
Tumblr media
2024 has marked a new debut for me and all is going smoothly so far. ๐ŸŽ‰ I (finally after fighting with administration) have begun my class and learning bits by bits Web Development! (Or so I think. Who the hell invented JavaScript? ๐Ÿ˜ญ Do they hate the world ? People? ๐Ÿ˜ญ Do they need a hug ? Money )
Whilst working on the lore and backstory of the characters and the story of The Ward's Eyes (I couldn't not talk about it ๐Ÿ˜ญ) ๐Ÿ˜Œ
I hope you're doing fine as sunshine โ˜€๏ธ as well, sweet anon ! ๐ŸŒผ (Don't hesitate to leave little messages/questions ๐Ÿ˜Š)
Take care of you ๐Ÿ’›
Warmly,
Serenity

I wish you all the best for this new year !
I take this time to keep you informed about The Ward's Eyes~
Tumblr media
First of all, yes, this issues : The keywords system ๐Ÿฅฒ
I will patch this up, and hopefully, for the next up-date (because there will be a next update ๐Ÿ˜Œ) you will not shed tears of blood whilst playing ๐Ÿฅน
[And no, I will not remove this system simply because it will help in choice to make ๐Ÿ™„, especially during conversation, and I have crazy interactions ideas ๐Ÿ˜‚].
And I heard you, my sweet sweet readers, I will put some more work into the clues system so that you will be able to navigate this better and not being lost ๐Ÿ˜Œ
Besides, I will do my best to release solution to the keywords next to stories update, both on Tumblr and the Development Log directly on the game page ๐Ÿ˜‰
Tumblr media
I'm sure you all noticed, in the navigation menu, next to Credit, something called "๐Ÿ’Ž Extra"
No, Gustav, keep your credit card in your wallet ๐Ÿ˜‚
It's Extra, not because it will be paid content, but because it's extra stories : POV, glimpse into some characters's, thoughtsโ€ฆ
It will be unlocked as you play, and your relationship with said character : The closer you are, the more stories you unlock ๐Ÿค—
I wanted to keep it in the game so that it will be personnalized, with your detective name's and all ๐ŸŒผ
I have started to write some of this stories, but, as things stands, those extra stories are too shy to make an appearance yet. You will, of course, be kept updated once the system is ready !
Tumblr media
Well, I have to say, I had a little writer's block. A tiny one. So tiny. [No, I'm guilty as charged, I confess ๐Ÿ™ˆ]
But now it's over ๐Ÿฅณ
So I'm rewriting โœ’
And correcting. With the help of your reports ! (I cry and cringe a little when I see the mistakes you spotted ๐Ÿ˜‚ I'm like : "There's no way I wrote that !" "Was I drunk ?" ๐Ÿ˜ฑ)
Thank you all for taking the time of writting them ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿฉต
I was thinking about making a small update with only the grammar corrections and keywords system update, butโ€ฆ nah, I'd rather you have a notification telling you you can now finish case 01 and begin case 02, so the next update will be a big update.
Besides, I have some rewritting to do (minor, minor rewritting, the story is the same, I swear ๐ŸŒผ)
I'm writting, writting, and I will threaten nicely ask my friends to proof read so that you will have something as polished as can be once it's done ๐ŸŒž
[And I will be able to remove this "On hiatus" notice then ๐Ÿ˜‚]
I think I will try to ready it by February or something ? ๐Ÿค”
Anyway, I'm still active on Tumblr, if you have any question !
Take much care of you ๐Ÿ˜˜
Warmly,
P.S. : Happy New Year to you Anon ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿฅ‚

I hope you have wonderful holidays, beloved!!!
Hey Anon ! ๐Ÿ˜Š
Thank you very much for the thought ๐ŸŒž
Tumblr media
Even though, to be honest, december-january holidays are tough periods on my part ๐Ÿฅน
Long story short, I had to move out faaaaaaaaaar from my family and loved ones for study and work, and prices for transportation to visit them are, well, during holidays, not affordable ๐Ÿ˜ญ
Well, Internet and Video calls do help, but It's been years since I was able to spend the holidays with loved onesโ€”or even enjoyable holidays at all ๐Ÿ˜Œ
Though, I take it as just a period of my life where I have to bear with it, clench my teeth and think about less fortunate and try not to complain ๐Ÿ˜Š (or not think about it at all ๐Ÿคญ)
That little ask in my box though is a little sunshine in this cold winter, so thank you very much for that Anon ๐ŸŒผ๐Ÿฅฐ
I hope you spend memory-full, heart-warming, wonderful holidaysโ€”the best holidays on your part ๐Ÿค—
And if you find yourself in a tight spot during this time of the year as well, I'm sending you a little thought as well to warm your heart ๐Ÿ’›
Very kind regards,

I'm in love with your game and you.
OH MY ๐Ÿ˜ญ !
I'm so sorry Anon, I only opened my box todayโ€”and almost choked on my water ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ
No more seriously, thank you so much !
Tumblr media
Old little me is sincerely touched by your kind poem ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿค—
It feels just like
a ray of sunshine
warming one's
heart.
As for the game:
I promise the game is only on hiatus, as I'm working behind the scene ๐ŸŒผ
I haven't a date yet for a coming update, but you will all be informed once I have one in view ๐ŸŒž
Take care ๐Ÿ€
Kindly,

Been thinking about this IF the last few days and it left me curious; how are the coding classes going?
Also how are you? I hope you're doing well!!
Hello Anon ๐ŸŒž
This warms my heart ! (It trully does, especially now that it has gotten quite cold where I am x) )
Tumblr media
Don't worry Anon, I'm well and very much alive ๐Ÿซก (meaning, this project is in hiatus and I'm still working on it behind the scene. Don't fret, my lovely readers, I have not forgotten you !)
I hope you're doing well as well ๐ŸŒž
As fot my online classes, it has not officially begun yet (because of the end of the year and shortage of places available). But, in the mean time, I'm taking any free lessons I can on the Online School website.
I swear this issue with the Keywords will be an ancient problem then. I'm kind of fond of this system and won't give up on it yet ๐Ÿ˜†
I'm also working on a map and enriching the Codex as well !
Thank you very much for the well-being-check ! Take care ๐Ÿงก
Warmly,

I have a question about the line, "You're surprised to see no distinguishing sign of appartenance to any religion at all." Did I miss something that would suggest he should? Cause otherwise I don't see why that would be surprising. A lot of people go around without anything on them to identify their religion.
Oupsi, sorry for the delay in answering !
Ohhh, yep yep, indeed. This line is there because this project was initially something else (oriented priest vs exorcism of sort (yes, it has a past, a past we shall not get out of the closet xD ), and the characters and atmosphere were different then. So it made a point at this precise moment. When rewritting, I didn't see this piece here. Now, it has evolved, so yeah, this line of text is out of context and now irrelevant. I'll note this down in my to-do-list (which is only ever growing) and modify this ๐Ÿคญ
Thank you for pointing it out Anon ! ๐Ÿ˜Œ
Kindly,

Update diary : August |Notice of hiatus
Hi ! Hope you're all doing well.
I am on my part. In the last update in July, I told you I was doing a bit of research and such. I have discovered some plot holes and such, I must uncover. Besides, English is not my first language (I'm french), so I'm doing a bit of research about Great Britain and customs. On top of it all, I'm going to take coding classes, as such, I'd prefer to wait and learn how to code better before taking over my work again.
I'd like to take my time and do something as best as I can and for that I'm going to remove my deadlines. So as for now, I don't have a particular update in view. That's why I'm putting my work on hiatus.
I'm still going back and forth daily on Tumblr (mainly because I follow @interact-if ), so if you have questions I'll receive notice of it.
This work is not abandoned. I'm working actively on it !
Take care of yourself & kisses~
Serenity Winter

Update diary : July
Hello, hello~
So far, I'm currently still working on part 02.
But I'm also in a plot hole hunt to sew them all shut. And I'm elbow deep into working on world building and doing the associated research (being historical, environment...) to back everything up nicely.
I really want the story to be as polished as it can be !
Hope this note will find you well~

Wow....just wow...
This was something...I think you've created something incredible here, a real interactive game. The sound design is so high quality, the UI is really great, so much information & tabs to explore. I never spend so much time in the menu before ๐Ÿ˜‚ just reading every bit I can, the relationship/character tabs are so cool, the case tab & clues as well.
& of course the story it self...is so great! Very intriguing, mysterious & it kept me on the edge of my seat. The fast choices gets my heart beating like crazy but I love it, it's another layer of complexity. The characters are very interesting & I cannot wait to get to know them...
specially one ass that I see many like as well
also my mc when first meeting Elias...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Thank you for your kind words !
It always makes my heart warm and fuzzy, reading that ! ๐Ÿฅณ
Those Ui tabs were such a hassle to make, but I'm very very happy that it has kept your attention!
I'm kind of happy to write them to be honest x)
Elias is so popular ๐Ÿคญ
The boy has to keep walking with that inflated ego of him ๐Ÿฅธ
Are you part of the #EliasBullyTeam as well ? ๐Ÿ˜‚
Elias : "Smells like ass here, is an ass" is a pretty accurate description of your first interaction ๐Ÿ˜„
Thank you again for your ask!
Take care ๐Ÿค—
P.S. : Is your username the binary for : "abc" ? ๐Ÿ‘€

Helloo there! I'd like to give lots of love for this story! I'm a fucking pusset, and I avoid horror with all my might, usually, but your story has been really intriguing and I'm, above all else, deadly curious! I think there's only one other horror IF that I actually like, and now there's yours too! The story seems to be pretty interesting and the MC being a private investigator only adds to that (me loves sniffing around where I shouldn't). When I read the whole swamp scene there was a giant storm here, and when we reach the parking area, the lights started to flick here, the game's sound made it a whole lot worse and I was like "Well, damn you wendigo sir, you already found me". ๐Ÿ˜ข
I looved Elias, he's a real grumpy and my MC was so terrified that she resorted to violence, never my first option, but I loved the outcome. And I'm sooo curious about Shepard, and literally everyone. As Elias said "curiosity killed the cat" and oh man I'm in for a ride, no regrets.
Thank you so much, I'm looking forward to learn more about the world, the characters and the story as a whole. Let's love these guys/galssss and enjoy this amazing writing!
Tumblr media
Awww staaap it ! I blushed reading this >.> I mean it went straight to my little heart ๐Ÿฅน I'm so happy to know you'd tried reading it and actually loved it ! (Which other horror IF do you like ? I'm asking for a friend ๐Ÿ‘€. Nah, in truth I'm quite an IF enjoyers to the core as well ๐Ÿ˜ค).
Haha, MC being a private investigator will sure sniff all around the country ๐Ÿ˜‚ Nothing will stop their nosy ass.
The hours I put to find the right effect to add a little tension when the creature comes back I'm glaaaad it works ! ๐Ÿฅณ
The fact that everybody wants to bully grumpy Elias is sooo much fun to read ๐Ÿ˜‚ Did you punch him ? ๐Ÿคฃ It's so funny to read reactions about him ! Feel free to ask, if you have questions about the other characters ! I'll do my best to write some spoiler-free answers ๐Ÿค— (Sheppard getting so much attention is getting me a fluffy feeling in the chest. Like, I'm seeing them like my smol bean instead of all, y'all making me ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿ‘ˆ "Please continue to love them edgy child". )
Welp, it's decided, I'm pulling all nighters for this part 02 xD
Thank you so very much for your kind words and cheers ! Do take care of you ๐Ÿฉต๐ŸŒŸ

MC sees Elias and chooses violence every single time. "Wow, great to see your ability to "take care" of the "small breach" is as good as your ability to answer questions." How am I not supposed to make them fall in love now? For extra good measure, I'm gonna make MC super short so his 190cm ass has to bend in half to kiss them. <3 Living to annoy each other.
Uga ๐Ÿ˜‚
I see you're going for the enemies to lovers trope ! ๐ŸŒž
Also, Elias will not bend in half for a kiss with an extra short MC ๐ŸŒ He will bend in half only to hoist you up. Them muscles should be put in good use. Them blue flames as well. And vertical surfaces. ๐Ÿฅธ
Unless your MC is fierce and will grip them by the collars. If you do, he'll grumble but will be far too happy to comply ๐Ÿ˜‚
I'm encouraging you to piss him off even more ๐Ÿ˜‚ I kind of admit making him grumpy can be so satisfying ๐ŸŒž
Thank you for this asks ๐Ÿ˜‚ I laughed reading it ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿฉต
Take care !

I kinda appreciate the positive early ending, tbhโ€” most games like to punish you for it (either by giving a bad ending or forcing you to the very start) so I'm glad my curiosity did not end up with me being horrified or made feel bad for it.
But also, it's very funny that a mundane person would not meet these creatures ever in their lives in this story's universe, and MC never saw anything like that ever again. Life in ignorance of the supernatural from then on, what a bliss for them. They write the swamp off as a bad dream and continue living a normal life.
I see what you've chosen there anon ๐Ÿฅธ
Yeah, I wanted to put this ending here because it felt right, in a choosing kind of way. But I couldn't make a branching from that, so I left this simply as an early ending.
The reason why such creatures will never be met ever again will be explained further in the story :3
Glad you appreciated it ! ๐Ÿค—
Thank you for your kind words ๐Ÿฉต

Hey there, I love the demo so much! It actually scared me since it was around 3am when I started to play ๐Ÿ˜† I stopped at the shower scene tho since I started to get frustrated with what to type aofbwkdj The hint only works once and can't be retyped again, I also didn't realize there was a stats page since I thought it'll only show once you were out of the forest like the other games do- This demo is a bit too complicated for me since I normally dislike it when you have to type in your answer and you'd have to stop reading just to find it๐Ÿ˜ญ I rlly love it though! Sorry for rambling or if I didn't make much sense- My brain's still a bit mushy
I'm kind of glad it had the intended effect ๐Ÿ˜‚
Sorry anon, you been scared is me happy ๐Ÿ˜‚
For the hint, try it with no space no caps and it should work for now ๐ŸŒž
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm really happy to know you've liked this game in spite of the keywords ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿฉต
Also below is the solution for the shower scene keyword. I repeat, below is the solution for the shower scene keyword.
โฌ‡๏ธ Solution โฌ‡๏ธ
The keywords are "present" or "is" or "is being". Something related to the fact that the action has not been solved yet but is on the way to.
Hope this helps ๐Ÿค—

Well, I'm surprised and at the same times I'm not ๐Ÿ˜‚
I just didn't expect Elias to be THAT popular. 1/3 of you want a piece of him, he'll be happy to know that ๐Ÿ˜‚ And his ego will be too.
Second position is Owl, now I wonder if you know you'll gonna suffer on this road. It'll be like walking, barefoot, on black asphalt in the middle of a hot summer day. After it has rained.
Sheppard come third, this one is a surprise. I would have expected Yu in third position. But who doesn't like an edgy [insert species here]? They'll choke on their water if they'll know of this.
Now now, fourth position is held by both Yu and Iolrath ๐Ÿ˜‚ Yu will pout for sure. Like mad pouting. And act all dramaqueen. Iolrath will just elegantly allow themselves a smile. How bright it will shine, now this is a sight to behold. Minus the slight smugness of course.
We then have Anya in fifth position, if this was a marathon, she would be that friend we don't know will be last or not and cheer all the way. She'll be wheezing when running. But in truth, you'll see more of her in case 02 ๐Ÿ˜‰
Mbaya is last. Well. Poor them ๐Ÿ˜ญ I guess the lack of description has undermined them. I'm curious how this will all play out in the future ๐Ÿค”
Anyway, thank you all for your participation! ๐Ÿค—
I'm curious...
