So far I find that the story is incredible and quite creepy, plus so far the storyline and the characters are simply stylish, I mean (Max Isa Cole) well especially (Isa) my little favorite, ( Max and Cole) quite complicated relationship level and yet they are Adorable, I can't wait to see how they will evolve, and finally I like the theme and the aspect of the game plus the audio sounds behind add so much thrill (I advise you to play the game at night with headphones) in any case I can't wait to see what happens next
That running animation is the best thing ever.
Max is a terribly annoying and negative person. Like, chill out, dude! You're not the universal center of gravity around which everyone has to bend... even time does, apparently :D
Cole is obsessively padding Max's world with wool, enabling them to avoid changing - which is what Max definitely has to do, or they will be unhappy forever. Both have issues.
Isa seems normal.
The story at least hints at becoming interesting. Though the preamble is quite long - and the tarot cards spoiled the whole story anyway.
Edit: Ah. I'm also terribly negative. Sorry
How does the iOS version work?
The .ipa file is a zip archive containing the iOS app built from Xcode. If one has a mac, one should be able to use Xcode to sideload it onto an iPhone in developer mode without any third party software.
I don't think I'm smart enough to find the secrets, so I hope at some point there's some sort of clue/guide about them!
Nice chapter and introduction to mystery, although a bit late in the chapter. The tension between the three characters and atmosphere around them kind of make me uncomfortable while reading like they're ready to bite each other head off anytime. I don't know what to feel about Max yet since they withhold so much information of their past and their relationship with the boyfriend (I'm surprised they even last this long in the relationship.) Hopefully there will be an answer in the later chapters.
this update was fantastic as usual!! looking forward to chapter 3 ^^
