Firstly, thank you to everyone who has played, rated or commented on the game!

...Zhen appreciates it. 'Mr Sexy Dangerous' came to me as the lead of this game almost instinctively, my previous game ended with him swanning off and making quite an impression on the player…so I thought ‘I wonder if we should see Zhen being genuinely professional AND sexy dangerous at the same time’? 

• I wanted to make a game with just one ending, maybe just once...As I actually like writing multiple endings and playing them too (the opposite of 'do you like sweets?' which had a massive 6 endings...).     
• I got to use a spin animation and zoom the background. I like the format of this jam for this specific reason: How could I really bring in the magical element with one background and no additional effects? Animations… 👌
• Folklore has leaned really into its mythological aesthetic before now, but I think this game shows that there's a very ‘modern’ aspect to this world, that isn't fragmented like Suraj's experience in Pursuers of Mythic Truth There are organised collectives of people, and if they spot something that is supernaturally wonky…they're going to find out what's going on. Up until now, I feel the apprentice has kind of drifted in the world (intentionally so), but that is coming to an end. 
• Morris is a fantastic voice actor who kindly lent his voice to Zhen, and he got all of his recordings returned in an incredible time and executed perfectly! Thank you for bringing Zhen to life! 
• On the topic of Mr Sexy Dangerous, he is, as a character, meant to be a bit of a thematic opposite to the Crooked Man, who is socially awkward, but quite clearly trying to express himself (badly). Zhen is extremely confident and deliberately isn't expressing himself in a sincere way (but very convincingly). 
• Narratively, I felt like this scene setter links Shishiodoshi and the final arc of the series nicely. (yes, it's true! It's drawing to a close!)
• I must thank my testers, JanPen, Mids and @Rosemask22. I really appreciate you guys and always value your feedback 👌

If you enjoy the game (or don't), feel free to drop a comment or rating. 

A gentle reminder, please be kind and constructive, as a solodev on o2a2 with a full-time job...my entry may not have the same polish as other entries. Let's be excellent to each other 🤝

Thank you all again, and see you in the next one (which will be sooner than you think).
