v1.2 bugfixIn the latest patch 1.2 (available for base game and DLC), the lone typo has been fixed. Also, the game has been updated to use the latest version of Ren'Py.
Thank you for all of your ongoing support! :D
[ 2024-06-13 15:45:14 CET ] [ Original post ] v1.1 bugfixHi there! the head well lost has been updated to version 1.1, which fixes several instances where unique character names weren't working (mostly in text messages). You should be able to see your specified name everywhere in the game instead of "Francis" if you choose one. Please let me know if that is not the case!
[ 2024-03-20 17:50:56 CET ] [ Original post ] the head well lost out now!Thanks for all your support and interest! HWL is now out and available to purchase and play.

Story:
When Francis matched with Rai on a dating app, the fact that he's half of the electronic pop duo DRYDEN should have been the most shocking part. Despite the hiccups that naturally occur when a quiet librarian and an internationally famous music producer collide, they hit it off and eventually decide to meet up. The moment Rai takes off the futuristic helmet he’s known for always wearing, he reveals to Francis his biggest secret: he is actually a Dullahan, a mythical being who has no head.
While lugging around her own emotional baggage, can Francis make a relationship work with this nice young man who also happens to be a headless pop star?- - -
Features:
- Over 130,000 words
- 9 different endings
- A heavily electronic, hip-hop soundtrack
- 3 very cute cats — as you progress, unlock special scenes from the cats' POV
- the majority of the most emotionally charged scenes occur at Waffle House
Please Take Note:
the head well lost is a commercial otome game with one character route that takes place over the course of about a year. Francis and Rai start dating fairly early on in the game. Thus, the maintenance of the relationship is the main point, not the pursuit.
Due to the nature of Rai's job, he and Francis are not always together. This is especially true for about the first half of the game. As a result, a good chunk of the story occurs through
text messages and
phone calls.
Content warnings: There are a handful of fade-to-black, text-only references to consensual sex. There are also textual depictions of legal alcohol consumption and some violence.
