And so, this year comes to an end.
Thank you once more to everyone who supported the release of my first game!

Here’s to new ideas and worlds waiting just ahead for us all to explore - perhaps an infinite number of them..

Have fun, make it count.

Until we meet again! ☃️

Time for the last concept art!
Lizard appeared late in the game, yet he’s really grown on me over time, even as a minor NPC. Hopefully, I’ll have a chance to offer deeper character development for them all in future projects🦎

I really appreciate you taking the time to complete the full demo and even coming back to explore more dialogue and content, your interest and attention to detail means a lot! Thank you as well for the kind words, I’m so glad you enjoyed it 😊

Thank you so much for checking out Contra Spem Spero!
You create such a cozy atmosphere on your streams, it was a pleasure to watch. Honestly impressed by your voice acting skills, all the characters felt spot-on. The chat’s commentary was a lot of fun too (especially toward LD 😁)

Thank you so very much!! 😊
The classic faceless main character move never gets old (and it’s been my personal favorite for too long) 😁

I even made one for MC - all that for him to appear in a single photo in a single ending, yeah 😪
Still, I was too greedy to reveal his face even in the concept art. Maybe one day..

Don't let LD see anything 👹

Yeah, it was my very first one 😅

Ahh, that's understandable
Gamedev takes so much time and energy, especially when you want everything to be perfect and it's your first big project to share with others..
But you're doing great so far, and I’m sure you’ll be proud of how it all comes together in the end!

Sounds like a plan 🤗 Can't wait to see more of 'em all!

I was thinking the same thing! If you’re leaning toward keeping her brown-haired, perhaps the contrast can still come from the two remaining characters? 👀

They’re all so cool, how dare you make us choose 😭
But I especially love this one (either the brown hair or the blonde), because the contrast with the other girls is great, and the accessory matches the shirt well!

Congrats on obtaining the 'Good' Ending - the second most difficult one!
I'm sure LD won't hold a grudge if he finds out who you decided to help instead😈
Thank you for the kind words, I'm happy you enjoyed it! Feel free to share any feedback on Steam whenever you feel like it.
Have a wonderful day!

Perhaps the most mysterious inhabitant of the forest of them all.
Why is he hidden in such a secluded place? What knowledge lies behind the constellation of his unblinking eyes? If only he could tell us..

Thank you so much for playing!
I see you've already explored the entire map and made great progress on LD's route, nice job!
I hope you’re enjoying the game. If you get the chance to finish it, leaving a Steam review would be a huge help.
Wishing your channel lots of growth 🤗

Спасибо за то, что помните и играете! Очень приятно видеть то, как каждому аспекту игры уделено столь пристальное внимание. Рад, что она пришлась вам по вкусу настолько, чтобы пройти ее досконально; о таких приверженных игроках только мечтал.

Не думал, что день, когда Бес приглянется кому-то кроме меня, настанет, но вот он здесь! Подписываюсь под каждым словом.

Since it’s the spooky season, I thought I’d start sharing the remaining concept art for some of the most exclusive characters from our cozy little forest.
If you haven’t met them yet.. what are you waiting for?🎃
