Harmless Types: A Prologue

It's New Year's Eve in New York.  Explore the innermost thoughts of the people around Emile de la Roche: his rich acquaintances, the Chadwicks; the people he meets over the course of the evening, both real and imagined; and the mysterious woman with the eyepatch that he pretends not to know. Emile is a marriage-dodging French socialite. He likes fancy cheese, American accents and the brave new world of the New York Pansy scene.  Your typical harmless type... right?

Just wanted to share the prologue I wrote for The Left Eye a few months ago, before we dropped our free demo chapter of the visual novel!

I did so much work on this project just in the quiet private hole of my home with my two collaborators, so we've got a bunch of stuff that I probably should have been shouting about for ages! All the same, I hope folks have time to take a look, and let me know if you enjoy it!
