I liked it :) Is the full game still in the works?

Yep! We post monthly devlogs here on itch, here’s last month’s.

Awesome! <3

The demo for the full game is already out on that itch page as well if you wanna give that a try :D

Also let me know where you post your review, I’d love to see your feedback :O

I usually avoid demos and wait for the final product but... maybe? Lately I have a mood for some short VNs.
Oh, and I have just a tiny instagram profile called "wcodzisgrakess" where I write (in polish) about games that I play. Nothing fancy.
In short: I see Hope & Solitude as cool intro. Heavy vibe but interesting premise. I'm curious about the main story and meeting of characters :) And I wish you all the best with the game <3

Thank you so much!

This game looks super nice. Which order do you reckon I should play the two routes in?

You can play them in either order! But playing Alex’s Hope first might be a good idea, since it is shorter.

I just finished both routes. I adored it and Alex's Hope made me tear up by the end despite being so short. I am definitely checking out the next visual novel you will release. Thank you for creating this game

Thank you so much! ❤️
