ShoH Update (October #4)
Hi everyone, updating the alpha link today!
I’m making lots of headway on Chapter 2 (Riel’s route) and will likely finish it within a few weeks and move on to Chapter 3, saving Chase’s route to finish on the side. I’ve found it’s more productive if I just power through and l...

Shoh Update and Poll (October #3) (NSFW - Profanity)
Added about 5,000 more words to Chapter 3 of ShoH: all of the build-up is done with and Riel and Chase's separate missions are embarking in earnest! I'm not totally happy with the pacing of the chapter--transitions feel a bit choppy, but I can always go back and refine them once I push out all th...
