Hope you all look forward to it ^^

i feel like assholes are gonna pop up with the thought process of "eh, i dont care if i get it. im young so it wont kill me most likely" when thats not the only point. its also about not spreading it to those who are more vulnerable to the virus. the elderly, the ones with asthma, those are the people who cant handle it. wash your hands, dont touch your face when youre out. when you get home, clean your clothes asap as the virus can stick to them and take a shower. be cautious and safe!!!

Most of the things you mention in 2. are things governments can in turn respond to by providing sensible relief for employees and economic stimuli and guarantees. People who die because of 1. don't come back and an overwhelmed healthcare system isn't too great for the economy or public trust in institutions either. As an individual you can be careful without panicking. Should you buy rations for a few days in case become sick and can't leave your home? Probably (at least unless you usually buy a week's worth of groceries anyway). Should you buy all the toilet paper your local grocery has in stock? Of course not. Should you wash your hands more often and regularly disinfect surfaces several people might touch? Yes. Should you steal disinfectant from a children's cancer ward (which actually happened in Germany a few days ago)? Hell no! Avoid crowded spaces like bars or public transportation as far as possible, cough and sneeze into tissues or the crook of your arm, wash your hands regularly, avoid touching your face, stay at home when you're feeling sick, and maybe postpone the visit to your grandparents for a few weeks. The institute in Germany responsible for disease control advises people not to use protective masks unless the are required to for professional reasons. The protection they provide is relatively low compared to the measures I mentioned above and it's suspected they can give a false sense of security leading to people letting the other stuff slide. Also places like hospitals and pharmacies need them more urgently than private citizens and their stocks are usually not big enough for a lasting epidemic.

I'm somewhat embarrassed I never got back to you and had to be reminded by this post, so apologies for that, but I'm really slow at playing to the extent that I never finished the path until the point where I got busy with University. So, just in case I really do not get around to finishing it, I really like a number of things!

I will be spending the coming weeks quarantined in my home, playing video games and masturbating. I hope you're all grateful for my sacrifice.

Alrighty. It's been five weeks since the last public release of Penlight, and the game's been in a bit of a transitionary period. My time's mostly been focused on rewriting Nozomi's main path, with the intention of increasing its length, working some more fun kinky scenes and generally fleshing out Nozomi's character some more. I'm hoping by the time I'm done, Nozomi's paths will hold up as well as her friend's, and provide a more satisfying journey into consensual kink than her original route offered. Nozomi wasn't my sole focus, though. Sayori's Alter path from last month has had a second ending written for it which I'm sure is going to provoke some responses, and there's been a lot of minor tweaks and fixes throughout the game. Penlight's CG gallery is also growing nicely now, with a handful of new images this month. As always, you can find this month's release in PC, Linux, Mac and Android versions, on my Patreon or itch.io pages. So, I hope folks enjoy the new additions! Next month I hope to have made significant progress on Nozomi's rewrite and I'll see where to go from there~ What's New Begun re-writing Nozomi's route, allowing for a longer runtime. Fully written up to day 5, with very rough outlining and recycled script up to the epilogue (expect major changes for next time) Written a second ending for Sayori's new Alter path, where Kyou sides with Sayori's alter personality New CG featuring Nozomi taking part in last year's culture fest stage show. It appears in the first scene of the game Added a new CG featuring Sayori with Kyou, during her newer Alter path Expanded Hiroko's and Nozomi's basic CG sets, allowing for a greater range of expression Most of Hiroko's penlight and couch scenes now use the new CG assets Added some more music to Penlight's soundtrack, which play during the newly-written parts of Nozomi's path Tweaked a line or two of dialogue in the earlier parts of Nozomi's route Lots of little tweaks to the dialogue during Hiroko's route and the start of the Villainous route Made some minor textual and visual tweaks to Nozomi's zombie path Fixed Kyou's sprite not appearing after he refuses to comply with Sayori's request, at the end of the original Alter path Fixed a text error on one line where Kyou called Sayori's alter "Megumi" regardless of the name Kyou actually gave her During some of the earlier-written parts of Sayori's route, Kyou's sprite wasn't showing any expression at all. That's now been corrected Corrected a few instances where Kyou's sprite wasn't showing on some lines in Nozomi's route Fixed an oversight that had Hiroko's sprite show over her CG during the start of the Villainous Sleeper Agent path Word count is now over 170,000

Not exactly, but I found a site that suggests Shiroha > Ao (for they complement each other this way) > Kamome > Tsumugi

Yes, do it! You won't regret it!
