Oh no worries, it's a cute game and I enjoyed it. I'm just a serial re-player of stuff, sometimes I just like a chance to take in the game again and see details I might have missed, so I just want 'bwauaaagh?' at the lockout. It certainly didn't spoil anything, just wasn't expecting it on a VN like this but that's what keeps the genre interesting.
I hope you keep making games, either in this universe or new ones. You just shouldn't have made Peri so adorable, I spent the entire game just wanting to give the poor thing a hug.
Anyway, thx for the work and no worries about the update, at least re: the ending I know it's a feature now!
p.s. I can nuke all these messages if you want to not spoil anything, sorry, should have DM'ed all this.
