Could you tell us more about the anime ash likes? Maybe why its popular for the “wrong reasons”
When I say he likes anime that are "popular for the wrong reasons," I’m definitely talking about those ecchi and harem shows where the girls basically just exist for a plain MC. You know the ones that have girls just to make male fantasies a reality, kind of like The Quintessential Quintuplets. Ash actually has a keychain of one of the girls from that exact type of show, and yes, she is his favourite(Not in a weird way I swear..maybe just a little)
But his taste isn't just limited to that! Growing up, he was actually a massive Naruto fan. He had zero real-life role models, so he built his entire character and moral compass on the cartoons and anime he watched. Naruto was his absolute hero, and he really internalized that strong sense of justice and the whole "never give up" attitude.
Because of that, he was totally the type of kid who would literally scream at other kids if they stepped on bugs, and he was always jumping in to defend kids who were getting bullied. He usually ended up getting in trouble for it, but to him, it was always completely worth it. Obviously, if you look at him in the game now, he’s changed.He would absolutely love if MC was an anime fan as well.

helloo, just wanted to tell you that i absolutely love the atmosphere of the game (ash is so funni, love that guy) anyways do you mind sharing more information about the stranger and ash?? <33
Hello! Thank you so much for your sweet comment! That's what keeps me going.
ASH
Ash hates his bright sun-bleached streaks because people always accuse him of dyeing his hair, which annoys him since he just gets them naturally from spending so much time outside as a kid.
Ash has a very one-sided relationship with his sister and doesn't speak to his biological parents at all.
Ash is normally incredibly frugal and really good at saving money from his convenience store job, but all that discipline disappears and he will easily drop loads of cash to spoil someone he actually cares about.
Ash's main hobbies to unwind are watching anime, solving math problems just for fun, and constantly fixing broken things . He usually does it for free for the elders in town.
Ash would absolutely study engineering if he had the money and opportunity to go to college, since he has a natural talent for figuring out how things work.
Ash completely avoids thinking or talking about the future because it triggers his constant, deep anxiety about getting older and feeling like he hasn't achieved anything meaningful yet.
Ash actually used to be a super cheerful and happy kid before uuuuh something, and that bright side is still buried deep inside, but it only comes out when he feels totally safe with someone he loves.
Ash has a childhood friend he grew up with.
Even though Ash acts tough and prefers to push people away, one of his absolute biggest, most secret dreams is to eventually build a big, loving family of his own.
MYSTERY MAN
(Can't share much as you know more in the next update...)
1.He holds a respectful and important role in the town of Hawkwood.
2.He presents a charming, calm, and kind personality to the world, which is exactly how everyone in town sees him.
3.He secretly hates it when things don’t go his way and has a constant need to be in control of every situation.
4.When he feels like he’s losing that control, his polished mask starts to slip, and the cracks in his personality begin to show.
5.He has deep fascination with life and death and finds genuine beauty in the process of preserving things.
6.He loves and hates flowers at the same time.
7.He isn't afraid to manipulate or completely ruin someone’s life if it helps him get what he wants.
8.He really doesn't like how his hair gets puffy whenever it rains.
9.He has near perfect memory that he uses to his advantage.
10.He enjoys birdwatching in his free time(OLD MAN)
11.He loves reading and constantly learning new things.
12.He is completely desensitized to blood and violence.
13.Bright light actually hurts his eyes, which is why he much prefers gloomy, rainy weather over sunny days.
Hiii, I hope you're doing well!!!
First of all, I just want you to know that I'm absolutely IN LOVE with your game right now. The art is literally gorgeous (so yummy I could eat it 😭), and the story is so interesting - it makes me wanna know moreeee!!
So, I have a couple of questions (feel free not to answer if they contain spoilers!)
1. (this is probably a stupid question)
Will we ever get to learn what happened in the bad ending ? Like, why did he do that? I loved that mysterious guy so much, and then I immediately got killed🥀 (i still love him, though)
2. Has Ash ever been in a relationship before? In his character description, it says that he hates people who leave, and his favorite character represents unconditional love. Is that because of a past relationship, or is it related to trauma from an ex, a friend, or a family member?
Hello! Thank you so much for loving my game!It gives me SOOOO much motivation!!
QUESTION1
To clear up a little confusion about Bad End 1. MC actually doesn't die! I know I left it a bit ambiguous before, but you're really just getting knocked out. Despite how intense and dark the situation gets, this mysterious man would absolutely never want you dead.
What actually happens in that moment is that he spots the train coming and realizes the jig is up. He knows you’re going to immediately figure out he lied to you about it not coming. Because he knows your first instinct will be to run away the second you realize the truth, he acts out of pure desperation. He knocks you out just to stop you from escaping and to ensure you stay right there with him.
QUESTION 2
Honestly, to say Ash has a "dating history" is a pretty huge stretch. Back in high school, he had a few girlfriends, but those lasted a month at most.
It usually went like this:
Girl:"Want to date?"
Ash:"Sure, why not."
He was attracted to people he dated but that's about it.
These days, between his crazy work hours and just being generally exhausted, he puts zero effort into connecting with people. He deliberately keeps things super casual because he’s terrified of anyone actually getting close to him.
All of this stems from a really deep bond he had with someone during his childhood. When that person left, it completely broke him. The really tragic part is that because this happened when he was just a kid, it literally wired his developing brain to expect everyone to leave him. If he had gone through that kind of loss as an adult, he probably would have been secure enough to process it and move on. His trauma stems not only from that one person but I can't say more as it will spoil some of his backstory.
Deep down, he’s believes that all love has conditions. He genuinely believes that if a real person got close to him, they'd eventually judge him for his dead-end job, his drinking, or just his general messiness, and then they'd walk away. In his ideal world, someone would just love him and stay by his side absolutely no matter what, but he doesn't believe that actually exists in reality.
He believes that love is conditional because people who supposed to have been loving him unconditional didn't,
That’s exactly why he relies on fictional characters. It’s basically the ultimate safe relationship. A fictional character isn't going to get mad at him for being late, she won't judge him for drinking, and she doesn't care that he works at a convenience store. She is just always there for him unconditionally, and he gets to have that comfort without having to spend any emotional energy being there for her. It gives him the illusion of love with absolutely zero risk of being abandoned again.
hello, I really like your visual and love the art style wanted to ask would he react any different if the MC as scene? especially if maybe they were really talkative texting online, but they’re very shy in person.🫶
I hope you have a good evening or night!
Thank you so much for the kind words! I really appreciate the love for the art style and the visual novel. :3
If the MC had a scene aesthetic, Ash would definitely be a bit struck by it at first. He is so used to blending into the background in his faded flannels and dirty work aprons that a bold, colorful style would catch him off guard. Because he is secretly a huge anime nerd, he would LOVE the bright hair and heavy accessories(would remind him something from anime) He would never admit it out loud right away, of course. He’d probably tease the MC about their hair or accessories just to cover up how flustered he actually is.
As for the dynamic of being super talkative online but incredibly shy in person, Ash would actually completely misread the situation at first. Because he is currently in such a dark headspace and constantly expects people to push him away, he would immediately assume the MC is just ignoring him or totally uninterested.
But once it finally clicks for him that the MC is just genuinely shy in person, his whole demeanor would shift. It would instantly disarm his defensive walls.
He would definitely drop a few sarcastic comments, teasing them about how much of a menace they are over text compared to how quiet they are face to face. Ultimately, seeing the MC's vulnerability in person would make him feel incredibly safe. It would show him that they are both hiding behind a screen in their own ways, which would give him the patience to slowly draw the MC out of their shell while they do the exact same thing for him.

Ash belongs to @pepsicass from the vn forget me not
How many days will forget me not have? Is it planned out or something that will go with the flow? Oh and what is Ashleys type? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Hello!
I just go with the flow, having tight schedule and deadlines stress me out MASSIVELY .I plan it to be a pretty decent size story but I have no idea for now how many days it will be.
ABOUT ASH
He’s really looking for someone kind...the kind of person he can actually be himself around without worrying that his interests or his dreams will be laughed at. Growing up, he basically only had one person who truly had his back, and since he feels like he’s lost her, he’s in a really dark place since then.
As for what he’s looking for, he’s pretty upfront about not wanting to be with someone who is struggling with self-destructive behavior or severe addiction. It’s not about being judgmental, more that he knows he will lose the battle. It will absolutely destroy him to watch someone suffer when he can't do anything to stop it.
Honestly, he knows he’s being a bit of a hypocrite because he’s dealing with two addictions of his own, and seeing that in someone else just forces him to stare at the parts of himself he hates the most. He just really wants a healthy relationship where he can imagine a long, stable future together. Because of all that, he definitely doesn’t see himself as a "catch". If anything, he thinks you’re way too good for him and can’t wrap his head around why you’d even want to be with him in the first place.
