I finally fixed it

For the longest time, the post-comic version had a softlock that I haven't fixed until now. Please download this version instead.
I've also added a peculiar retconned-in scene from the comic. What could it mean...? 

Make sure to read the comic after this, as it goes further than the game does, once it hits the wintermission: https://mspfa.com/?s=38989&p=1

There is also a chapter 2 part 1 hosted on rmn, with actual gameplay! 
I plan on also getting it hosted over here once I tackle part 2, but for now, here's this link to it: https://rpgmaker.net/games/12128/
