A RETURN TO IKEBUKURO…
It was another day like any other until a young woman learned that her boss had planned a job transfer for her. Her destination? A city in Tokyo, Japan by the name of Ikebukuro. The city had been blessed with five years of normalcy, which made more tourists visit. Her best friend, Arabella Faraldo, was excited to visit such a grand city so she insisted on joining the young journalist on her journey. Unbeknownst to them, two famous figures known by its occupants through causing destruction have returned to the city. With a new gang on the rise, an unhinged informant with a “love” for humanity, supernatural entities and flying vending machines, the young woman’s new job is the least of her worries as a new Ikebukurian!

DEMO Release
Today’s the day!! Thank you all for your patience. I’m beyond excited to share the first demo of No Haven in Hallow Cove!
Please keep in mind that this is very much still a first draft, and subject to change. I welcome and appreciate any feedback you can offer. Currently I have two options for feedback: comments on the itchio page and messages here. I can’t promise that suggestions will be implemented but I can promise that they will be read, appreciated, and considered. If you see any coding issues like bugs or inconsistencies, please either screenshot or send me the direct text so I can fix it.
The romance system in particular I would love feedback on. Romance styles are so unique to the individual, and I want to make sure I’m incorporating other peoples experiences as well as my own. If there are dialogue options you would have wanted, changes in inner thoughts, alternatives to the current romance options, please let me know! Thank you in advance.
The fact that you are taking the time to read it at all means a lot to me, so thank you.
Also, this book features many adult themes and content that may be disturbing or triggering. I’m not including a detailed list of triggers as it would spoil major plot points so instead I will ask that you please exercise caution and prioritize your own mental health first. If you know that general discussions of mental health are upsetting, this might not be the book for you. I am more than happy to answer if you want to privately message me about specific triggers but that information will not be included on public pages. Thank you for your understanding.
I hope you enjoy the first two chapters.

After a long wait the demo for Absentia is finally here!
[DEMO]
This release contains just the prologue.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
A small look into the brain of the person that captured you.
MC customization— some of it— as you figure out just how much has changed about you.
Explore the place that you’ve been held captive in for five years.
Discover things that were left behind as you do so. 
Make your great escape! Just make sure that you don’t leave anything behind.
Breathe fresh air for the first time in a long time.
I’m still in the process of editing— so don’t mind any typos— I’m mainly just concerned by anything game breaking.
I hope you enjoy!
