New Experimental Game Build: 1.104 Pre-Alpha

Heyo and salutations, everyone!

Version 1.104 is now live, and with it, Chapter 5 is now released!  In this chapter, Rui finally reunites with Yama, something I've been looking forward to adding to the game ever since I started working on it. As a result, I've endeavored to make the scene as emotionally impactful and Yama's character as insightful as possible, in keeping with his strange new experiences. While I could never create anything on the same level as the actual game,  I hope you enjoy the direction I've taken his character in, and his in-game character sprites, drawn by @reika_liechan on Fiverr: (https://www.fiverr.com/reika_liechan)

As Lucid9's world and characters are largely built as a pessimistic and sobering warning against the desires for solitude, independence, individual significance, and the dangers of optimism in a world that lies to and traumatizes the innocent, and its story encourages the reader to wisely understand and interpret the nature of time and reality, I wanted to create this chapter to build upon those themes, but in a manner that I believe can communicate the allegory of accepting these warnings and not losing heart, but instead learning strength from pain and courage from horror.

More importantly, however, I sought to un-massacre our boy Yama, who deserved better from the beginning. Like all things in this fangame. however, I would be remiss if I did not add that this was also at great cost.

Thank you once again for your support,
