kind of a funny update. yeah i'll take away an essential component of what keeps people coming back to social media websites, they'll stick around through this one just like before because they're all suckers. wait why are you all leaving this time. what do you mean i removed the addictive core that provides the dopamine hits people are seeking

cryptotheism

Not once have I looked at tunblr and thought "man I wish I couldn't tell how people are reacting to my posts. I hate seeing the comments in reblogs"

this image is a pretty good litmus test for politics: do you regard this man with respect, or disgust?

Do YOU regard him with respect, or with compassion?

Who respects distress, fear, and lack of confidence? The true binary is whether people react to visible weakness with contemptuous disgust or compassionate concern.

The false binary is assuming the people who disagree with your politics do so simply because of spite, rather than because they disagree about what will make people happy.

And I have seen no few feminists who would show timid men nothing but contempt.

as approaches to mental health go i just think that you would struggle to find anything that raises the suicide rate as effectively as "if you ever talk to anybody about this or fail to complete an attempt again, we will torture you at your expense" does if you earnestly tried

Soundless Now Available On Steam!

—Despite all the singing around her, her world was soundless.

Our yuri denpa horror visual novel, soundless - A MODERN SALEM IN REMOTE AREA -, is now available on Steam!

Left a pariah after her visions become cursed, young Mercy is subjected to daily torment in the small cult town of Phada. After an accident kills the previous Holy Woman, the cult's god delivers twin Holy Maidens upon the town as replacements—and one of them, the Barrier Maiden Auma, tells Mercy she can see the curse, too.

Filled with twists and turns, this linear horror visual novel serves as a deep dive into the cycle of abuse and the ways it's perpetuated, all while mimicking the appearance of 2000s Japanese visual novels. The Steam edition is the same as the Final Verse definitive edition, with updated artwork, an unlockable epilogue story, and even free artbook DLC!

A yuri denpa tale about the cursed pariah of a rural cult, Mercy, and her fateful meeting with the Holy Maiden Auma. Bloody, bold, and bone-

Parity updates have also been made to the Itch edition. One of these parity updates includes the discontinuation of the 32-bit edition due to an engine version upgrade. Those who still need the 32-bit edition can download the last available version of it through our website. A full list of parity changes can be found through the devlog on Itch.

In the lead-up to the Steam edition's release, we made a lot of countdown images. Here are all the blanks + transparent versions for you to use! (Please be sure to follow our Fanwork Guidelines when creating derivative content.)

Additionally, we'd like to remind everyone that the store sale is still going on for another week, until October 6th. This is your chance to pick up physical Soundless merchandise if you haven't yet!

Happy 8th anniversary to Soundless!

conspiracy theory: whoever on staff reinstated the blog was a huge aumercy fan and wanted to create a reality where their countdown images are side-by-side instead of separate

i, uh, genuinely don't know how that happened so fast. hooray

We're back!

Hi, everyone! We're back, just in time for the Soundless Steam release (less than 2 hours away as of right now)!

We know this means that everyone here missed the 2 days and 1 day countdown images, so here they are for your viewing pleasure!

Remember: social media can be finicky and impermanent, especially in an era of poorly-tuned automatic moderation and barebones human support teams. We run our own website which you can always check in the event something goes awry.

toskarin

here's your reminder that soundless - A MODERN SALEM IN REMOTE AREA - releases on steam in three days!

milk+'s blog seems to have been termed for queueing up posts containing images and links several times in a row (speculating because I had that happen with RI47 a few times) mid-countdown for release. they're friends of the blog, and if you've got any interest in that sort of thing, wishlisting it would be greatly appreciated

#FACE HOLDING BACK TEARS EMOJI

hello to any soundless/milk+ visual fans

our blog just got terminated for no reason, they gave us absolutely no notice or warning. we messaged tumblr staff but i doubt it's going to get addressed before the soundless steam release.

if you've been keeping up with us through tumblr try our other socials to see the other countdown images and more. sorry about this.
