Hi everyone, I recently learned that last year Apple released an update on Macs that prevents their machines from running applications that Apple has not notarized. To notarize your app for Mac you need to go through a complex process of becoming an apple developer and paying 100$/month for an Apple developer account. I did not realize this as this was not a thing when we released our demo last year. Getting Vengeful Heart notarized for MacOS will likely take some time, as such the launch version of VH for Macs will NOT be notarized. If you have a mac and want to play our game, you can still do so, but it will require some extra steps on your part. You need to set up your Mac to allow it to run unnotarized apps. Steam might not allow me to offer the unnotarized version so you probably need to wait or seek other means to play this visual novel. Frankly I am not a fan of Apple's closed system and their insistence that every developer owns their machines if they want to develop games for Apple machines. After notarizing Vengeful Heart, Salmon Snake will release all future apps unnotarized. It's just not worth it for a small dev to go through all the hassle and and payments, when the sales on Mac will likely not even cover the cost of joining the apple developer program. This means that after Vengeful Heart no mac versions can be found on Steam, since Steam requires games to comply to Apples demands on this. This will ONLY affect the mac version of Vengeful Heart. Windows and Linux versions should be out as planned on the 28th. Sorry for the inconvenience, everyone. -Hanuli from Salmon Snake

Vengeful Heart is a revenge-themed visual novel made to resemble the the style of PC-98 visual novels. Unleash your vengeance with style in this new tale about capitalism, companionship and cyberpunk!

There isn’t much left to buy. As of this year, all the hospitals in the city have been privatized, as are 89% of all apartments, the transit network, the police force and of course, the water. For all intents and purposes, the only part of the city the city hall controls, is the city hall building itself and even there the private sector provides security.
For the most part the transition has been peaceful and individual protests have died out quickly or been effectively countered by friendly news networks. The amount of violence has been entirely acceptable.
However, resistance cells dedicated explicitly to halting corporate plans have formed. The leaders for the most significant one are listed below.

NO. 1 LACE, JOSEPHINE


NO. 2 JANIS, RANI


NO. 3 MATURANA, NORBERT, DR.


It is the belief of the board that, if not dealt with, this group could pose a serious problem to most if not all the various private industries and their extensive control over public affairs. So far the group has been targeting the water industry, attacking profits by stealing water and redistributing it to the lower classes. The security industry and the hospital industry have agreed with us that all three must be eliminated for the greater good.

Considering the recent violent incident that left n. 1 hospitalized, n. 2 homeless and both hell bent on revenge, the board advices that discretion and efficiency be the key words to any future steps to remove this threat.

Proceed with caution and do not hesitate.

Signed, Francis Brabeck
