Hi! Update 0.06 is out, which starts off Day 6 of the Accept route.

This update was confusing to write due to all the dialogue branches based on previous choices (such as who you texted on Night 5, if you chose to text anyone), but it was also fun getting to a point where the story has become much less linear. A single playthrough will likely feel much shorter for this update, though I'm happy if it means that the player's choices have more meaning.

I keep having a bad habit of underestimating how long certain scenes will take to write, so one of the paths on this update does not extend as far as the other due to time constraints. It also didn't help that I had to completely scrap the original version of one of the scenes in this update because it wasn't working out at all and felt forced. I am glad that I did rewrite it, because the new scene turned out a lot better. I considered delaying the build so I could get both branches to the same point, but decided it would be better to release what I have now and then finish that path later.

Other things added in this update are one new music track, a few new expressions for Ted, and some expressions for some of the other characters.

I'd like to thank Coza as usual for her artwork contributions, and Melo for proofreading and catching mistakes. I'd also like to thank everyone else who gave me permission to do a certain thing (being vague is fun, and I don't want to spoil it).

I am trying to make it a priority to write more music, because I feel like right now, the soundtrack is too small. Unfortunately, most of the tracks I worked on this month are ones that won't appear until later in the story. I did learn that I should probably avoid writing songs in certain keys for now, because the chord progression in the new track hurt to play when I was practicing and figuring things out. Oh well, you live and learn! My wrists are doing way better now, though they're still not 100%, so I'm trying not to overdo it.

Anyways, I hope you all enjoy! Let me know if you find any issues with this update, and I'll try to fix them ASAP.
