Catalyst Wake has been finished, and is now available to play on itch.io! It will be coming to Steam on February 10th.
Obviously I can't link to the itch page from Steam, since it's against Steam's policies. But I suspect that doesn't matter, since if you're reading this progress update here, you probably prefer to to wait to play it on Steam anyway.
Now that The Evolving World and Pageturner are done, it really feels like the proper end to my Scratch era. But I'll be making one final Games Update on Scratch to truly cap it off and I just might sneak a few exclusive surprises in there!
Until next time!

Only 3000 humans remain after three apocalyptic events, referred to as the "Catalysts", severely decreased the population. Catalyst One resulted in the air being toxic to breathe, so everyone wears masks.
After the collapse of the government, various organizations have formed, and fight each other for territory and resources.
Catalyst Wake is a fully illustrated linear visual novel. Instead of the typical "sprites against backgrounds" format, the dialogue is accompanied by illustrations, which gives it a cinematic quality.
The story is a continuation of a series of animations and comics that were released between 2011 and 2016. The novel is split between prequel stories and sequel stories. The sequel stories are fully voiced.
