Beunas noches.

Hope you've been enjoying the intermission since last we met upon this stage. 

In lieu of a new update - as I've been busy with another project since the last one - I present another VHS tape to tide you over until the next.

Connections. A mycelia of people. Connections made of love. Hate. Fear. Lust. 

For Emilio, the always break. He breaks them.

This tape is the tale of how Emilio and Thanin first connected. It is tentatively recommended to have played what is currently available of Emilio's route (Build 3), as the revelations about our goat therein are on full display in this side story; if you want to encounter these revelations alongside Sid. Of course, everything in The Red Ballet is written to be playable in whichever order one encounters them; but now you've been notified of that.

I'll just ramble on for a bit more. 

For this story I've been trying out new things with the art, so it has like 6 CGs. 3 of them are horknee :') It's cool to see how different the art has become since starting like, a year ago.

Thanin has also gotten his music theme (probably not of the genre you'd expect). Give it a listen if you want.

I was plaaaaanning on things being a bit more lighthearted than usual. To no one's surprise; that didn’t happen. So prepare for the whiplash of psychological horror followed by smut. At least the smut isn't the psychological horror this time? Small steps. Also, idk if separate downloads like this for short stories is the way to go when they'll be added later to the main game. But as they'll typically be unlocked through getting past certain parts of the game, it's kinda hard to do a preview release when that part isn't in the main game yet O_O Sooo if it's annoying, euhm, ignore them?

Anyway, have fun playing Connections while I set up the stage for the next update. It will be a Misha one, as I'm trying to alternate :')
