Hello everyone,

The next chapter, Paws in the Sand, is now available.

This update follows Julian and Tom through an unusual beachside experience that gradually shifts from playful roleplay into something more reflective. What begins as a lighthearted “dog training” scenario evolves into a quiet moment of connection, where Julian opens a window into his thoughts, vulnerabilities, and emotional coping mechanisms.

Highlights:

• A sensory-focused beach scene designed to explore presence, trust, and detachment from judgment.
• An introspective look at Julian’s mindset, seen through his interactions with Tom and the player.
• Dialogue options that shape the tone of the scene and your relationship with him.
• Optional choices that blend gentle absurdity with emotional realism.

This scene transcends simple playfulness — it marks a significant moment of growth for Julian, offering a glimpse into his inner world and his relationship with others. The boundaries between performance and authenticity begin to blur, and a subtle shift toward self-acceptance emerges.

As always, thank you for your support of this project and for helping shape its development. Your feedback is incredibly valuable.

Special thanks to Martin, who came up with the original concept for this scene and wrote the central part of the chapter. His idea and contribution brought a fresh perspective to the chapter and helped develop a scene that stands out in tone and theme.
