A new devlog for Talents has been posted! It contains a few more details about the donation campaign, marketing struggles, and some progress achievements. Read it here.

The new enhanced demo is now available to play! The new version includes major changes such as: Recolored CG Illustrations Enhanced Background Images New Voice Lines, Character, and Script Changes, relevant to the full game Call & Text Features for more Immersive Gameplay In-Game Social Media Comments Added Tutorial Game Cameos New Opening Video Added Relevant Sites on Main Menu We uploaded this 2 days early due to an emergency. As this is still a demo, we deeply value your review to help us improve and move closer to completion. If youd like to support the project, we gladly accept donations through Itch.io or Ko-fi, which will directly contribute to polishing the game and addressing blockers along the way. Since the game is entirely self-funded by Izumi, the solo developer, challenges like health issues, emergencies, currency fluctuations, inflation, or even unforeseen setbacks (e.g., a hard drive failure, drawing tablet breaking) can sometimes delay progress. Especially since these blockers were out of her budget, and now her only laptop is experiencing issues again which is now causing setbacks on development. Your support helps us overcome these hurdles and fund essential aspects of the game, such as art and voice acting, since we commission people for those assets. In return, certain rewards are set. Go to this link for more details. To celebrate the new demo update, a new game trailer and opening video is also available at the game page. Thank you and we hope you enjoy playing the updated demo! Dont forget to follow us or Wishlist the game to immediately get an email when the full game is out. You can also follow us on any of our social media accounts for further announcements. Until then~! - Izumi
