I'm feeling the same way! No story in itch.io hits quite like this mix of profound characters and themes with the supernatural element.
I wonder if the author could create a Ko-Fi, since they had all that problem with Patreon?
I'm not sure but there must be some way we can reach out and help the author..i really don't want a story like this to end on such a cliffhanger! I know the author must be devastated and i feel horrible what had happened it really demotivates someone when they lost something they worked so hard for..but again i don't want an amazing story like this to end..Hopefully you and i are not the only ones that never give up on this story ...we need to find a way to get it touch with the author and try and help him..also what is Ko-Fi? Because without patreon there was no funding to continue so we need to find some other way to help him and revive this beautiful visual novel!
