I need some troubleshooting help with Reddit. I’ve been an active member of r/visualnovels for a while now, but none of my posts about the game’s release are going through… I’ve tried like 4 variations, each with different images, but they keep getting flagged. Halp!!!

Siren's Call: Second Wind – Now Available

A wedding where one of the guests arrives dead. A strange black hole eclipsing the Florida sun. And your best friend? Gone. Is all this a butterfly dream or is reality breaking? Is their story romance...

My second full length VN, Siren’s Call: Second, comes out on JAST in about a week. Like with Escape Velocity, the game is designed to prey on your notions on what is actually happening, but in a much different way. I hope this is the project that finally kills my perfectionism. Please God.

Hey, btw, that note on my YT bio that says I won't play games with GenAI? Yeah, guess what! Still true! So, emailing me your game with GenAI is a waste of both our times! And it really seems to be getting to a point where if the email says "I'm a solo developer" then I just know it has GenAI.

Today after work (about 6pm ET) we're looking at the demos for Carmilla & Siren's Call: Second Wind. Unfortunately I have limited time tonight so I'm going to try to jump on sooner than 6 if I can and if we don't finish Siren's Call there's a chance we're getting a game key when the game comes out 👀

Two women stare longingly into each other's eyes. The one on the left has dark hair and dark clothes. The one on the right is blond and has a grey dress. The title above them says "Carmilla Crimson Moon"

The promo art for Fall in Love Fest with the two women on the left and dates Sept 1-9. In the bottom right corner the art for Siren's Call with a woman with her back turned, looking over her shoulder.

I have received some reports of Siren’s Call: Second Wind not getting along well with OBS during the festival. Apparently, this is a known issue with Electron based games and OBS. Displaying the game with the “Display Capture” setting should fix any and all issues with streaming.
