Zyr is so over this stupid group photo.

#UnhingedVN #visualnovel
Four men, visual novel characters. Kai in black and red motorcycle gear with blue-black hair, Zyr, a blond businessman, Val in plaid with a purple braid, and Angel the angel. They pose together, begrudgingly.

Screenshot from a Visual Novel, image of a man (Kai) in black with red piping, blue-black hair, smirking. The text reads: "Thug #3: You know, you'd be so much prettier if you smiled."

Waking up in a house where she will never be again is fucking awful.

I am shattered into a billion tiny pieces.

Are you letting them in your house? y/n

#visualnovel #UnhingedVN
Artwork of two men, one in black with red accent motorcycle gear, short blue-black hair, and pale blue eyes and the other in red plaid over a white shirt with blue pants, and a purple-blue braid, hands in his pocket. They stand in front of a front door. There is a mottled blue border. They would like to come into your home. They are unlikely to leave.

"sooooooooooooooo...
wanna go get ramen?"

Everyone meet Valdas! 🐾

#UnhingedVN #visualnovel
Artwork of a man slouching in a white tee with a red flannel shirt over the top. He is pale and has a lot of freckles, with dark eyes and a long braid of hair colored in purple to blue. He's probably going to try and eat your ramen.

You gotta fill out your forms ✒

#UnhingedVN #visualnovel
In the center, a floating, glowy form with "Questionnaire" written at the top and "Fill out + return asap" at the bottom. In the background is a keyboard, mouse, pens and notepads on a desk with a neon, dream-like look to them.

Kai escaped spritejail to wish you a Happy Valentine's Day!
(Sorry, he refused to free the other boys on his way out so you'll have to wait to see them)

#UnhingedVN #visualnovel
A man with blue-black messy hair and piercings, pale blue eyes, and a black with red accents motorcycle jacket. He is smirking at you, as per usual. Three red hearts hover around him, and there's a black mottled background and red/pink circles forming a border.

A desk lit only by a Matcha Latte candle. Next to it, a Wawa iced mint mocha, mostly drank. Some stuffies on the desk behind, and the corner of a monitor, Spotify on the screen, playing a playlist titled "Angel"

Welp we broke 30k words and I'm not done with Angel's route yet (and haven't touched Zyr's)

Good progress on Angel's route and I think I'm on track to finish the writing for it tomorrow in honor of his more-or-less birthday!
