1.3


so i got some feedback that 1.2's stress on content warnings was kind of heavy-handed! my friends went into the vn all keyed up and expecting a Bad Time and all they got was a couple squicks and some laughs. we were talking in the vn discord about "priming" people with trigger warnings and i think that it's important to have trigger warnings but maybe not shove them at people. 

now trigger warnings are in a drop down list in the description. and they are also in the About section of the game. but there's no heading before you can start the game saying "hey! be scared! horrible horrible!"

sorry if this devlog is a little distracted, people are in here having conversations.

the other main thing i changed is that now you can set the speed of the text. i still think having the speed set too fast ruins the *feel* of the game but having it stuck at slow could be distracting to some readers. there are only a few parts where i play with cps in the game , not enough to force people to read at the same cps.

the final main thing is that i added some art! now the scavenger house gets a glow up in chapter two and four to reflect beautiful's contributions to it. the pain cg has a few layers of bleeding heart flowers.  and during the heist scene we get to see oat latte and neon cat snuggling asleep as described, instead of an empty bed.

and a small little thing is that now the main menu has music, so no one will start the game and be like "the sound isn't working!!" and i have to explain that the first few pages are silent on purpose. so a pretty big update!
