We're delighted to say that Confluence is in its first ever VN Fest alongside the game it accompanies, Of Sense and Soul!
Of Sense and Soul is where it all starts for our favourite bookish boy all that sappiness and contentment he feels in Confluence comes from his journey of self-discovery in OSAS! You can play the demo today, or check out voiced scenes from the game all week on our broadcast there. (And, of course, giving the game a wishlist would be a great help to us if you'd like to follow along!) https://store.steampowered.com/app/2231680/Of_Sense_and_Soul/ Happy VN Fest, and happy gaming!

Added Steamdeck support and made small improvements to text display.
