Hi, everyone! Before I get started on the details, I need to make the following announcement: This update will possibly corrupt your existing saved games and reading progress, caused by my updating the Ren'Py engine I use for making Penlight to the latest version. If this happens to you, you can mitigate the inconvenience this causes by selecting Preferences from the main menu and turning on "Unseen Text" and "Transitions" under the Skip submenu. That'll save you from having to click through every line of text again until you get to the parts you want to read. So yeah, sorry if that causes trouble for anyone. Anyway, on to the update... This one adds a bunch of new scenes for the ongoing villainous storyline, which I'm calling "Copycat" going forward. This brings the story up to pretty much the end of the sixth day, and includes new sprite art, music and a CG made especially for the new content. I'm excited to see what you all make of it~ Like always you can find this month's release in PC, Linux, Mac and Android versions on my SubscribeStar, Patreon or itch.io pages. I've also linked the most recent flowchart guide on the latest public news post on SubscribeStar. I hope to continue this momentum into next month as we barrel on towards the conclusion of the Copycat story, with at least two more new CGs along the way. Please look forward to it ^^ What's New REN'PY: Updated the game engine to Ren'Py 7.8.6 which will possibly cause issues with saved game dataWRITING: Concluding scenes for day 5 and most of day 6 written for the ongoing Copycat storylineART: Added one new CG for the Copycat storylineART: Added two new outfits and two new expressions for Akiko's sprite for the Copycat storylineMUSIC & SFX: One new BGM and one new sound added for the Copycat storylineWord count is now around 452,500LOCALIZATION: Various edits and corrections to the existing Spanish scriptSome typo and grammar corrections

Hello, everyone! This update completes the scenes for the fourth day of our ongoing villain storyline, along with most of the fifth. I might make a few changes to it over the coming weeks, but overall it seems fairly solid and I should be in a good position to move on to the more dramatic parts of the story and the CGs it promises. It should be a good time ^^ And speaking of CG's we move on to my main regret this time: There's barely any new art to show. There's a couple of minor additions I had made for the previous one, and you'll see that in the new section, but other than that? Those dramatic parts can't come soon enough! Oh yeah, and I added one more piece of background music that I thought would make a decent enough fit for Penlight, if only for variety's sake. It should help a little to break up the monotony of hearing the same couple songs playing on repeat. Like always you can find this month's release in PC, Linux, Mac and Android versions on my SubscribeStar, Patreon or itch.io pages. I've also linked the most recent flowchart guide on the latest public news post on SubscribeStar. Anyway, that's all for now. I hope you find the new scenes interesting and I'm really looking forward to showing you what's coming next~ What's New WRITING: Scenes for day 4 and most of day 5 written for the new villain storylineART: Added a few new assets for a CG in the new villain storylineMUSIC: Added one new BGM to the game's soundtrack, that plays during the new villain storylineWord count is now around 447,000FIX: Corrected a minor bug in the CG gallery where one of the CGs was not unlocking correctlyLOCALIZATION: Various edits and corrections to the existing Spanish scriptSome typo and grammar corrections

Hello again, everyone! This past month saw a lot of frustrated plotting over how this new villain storyline's supposed to go from beginning to end. I sort of know how it's going to end, but I got mega-blocked when it came to working out the finer details. As the days rolled on, I sat down to just start scripting as best I could, and what you'll see here with this latest release is some script for the next couple scenes leading up to... well it's nowhere near as much as I hoped, but at least there's a small reveal at the end that sets up the middle portion of the storyline nicely~ Like always you can find this month's release in PC, Linux, Mac and Android versions on my SubscribeStar, Patreon or itch.io pages. I've also linked the most recent flowchart guide on the latest public news post on SubscribeStar. Anyway, I'll be developing that middle portion for the next update. And in the meantime, I hope you enjoy what's here What's New WRITING: Wrote the next couple of scenes for the new path on the Villainous storyline, stemming from the choices "use the penlight on Nozomi" then "stick around", up to the first choiceART: Previously sketched CG that takes place during the new Villainous story path has been updated with completed art and included in the CG galleryWord count is now around 443,500FIX: Corrected a small bug in the CG Gallery that wasn't displaying some of Hiroko's CG set despite being unlocked in-gameLOCALIZATION: Various edits and corrections to the existing Spanish scriptSome typo and grammar corrections

Hello, everyone! This update continues the new villain story route introduced last month, where Kyou chooses to stick around after class in the hopes of finding Nozomi again. There's a couple new scenes, taking us up to the first decision point that sets up two separate paths for where Kyou's latest bout of villainy will take us, along with some sketches of a new CG that couldn't be completed in time. Like always you can find this month's release in PC, Linux, Mac and Android versions on my SubscribeStar, Patreon or itch.io pages. I've also linked the most recent flowchart guide on the latest public news post on SubscribeStar. Please enjoy the new release! I'll be continuing to work on these new paths over the next few months, which I hope will turn out to be both interesting and painful to read in equal measure~ What's New WRITING: Wrote the next couple of scenes for the new path on the Villainous storyline, stemming from the choices "use the penlight on Nozomi" then "stick around", up to the first choiceART: New CG that takes place during the new Villainous story path, sketches only and not currently in the image galleryWord count is now around 441,500LOCALIZATION: Various edits and corrections to the existing Spanish scriptSome typo and grammar corrections

Hello, everyone! Over the past month I had a bit of a think about what to do for what would be the last public update of the year. I wanted to deviate a bit from my routine of writing alternate endings for stories that are mostly already written and try a thing folks weren't quite expecting, give you something more to look forward to heading into the new year. So I made the somewhat bold decision to explore a previously greyed-out choice that occurs near the beginning of our story, soon after Kyou uses the penlight on Nozomi while they're cleaning the classroom. That first choice leads to most of Penlight's darker storylines, as Kyou leaves school the next day to get chased down by Hiroko and inadvertently discovers just how powerful his device really is. But what would happen if he's in less of a hurry to head home? What if he decides to stick around in the hopes of catching Nozomi without her friends to interfere? She'd have to hear him out, right? All of that is to say I've written the script for the first two scenes of the Villain storyline's "stick around" route and added a new CG to go with it. There's a lot more to come from this, but I think we're off to a decent start ^^ In other news, the big CG from last month, on Hiroko's Gullible story path, has now been updated with finished art so if you were holding off on reading it before, now's the time! Like always you can find this month's release in PC, Linux, Mac and Android versions on my SubscribeStar, Patreon or itch.io pages. I've also linked the most recent flowchart guide on the latest public news post on SubscribeStar. I'll naturally be exploring the possibilities this new route opens up in the new year, so have a good holiday season and I'll see you then What's New WRITING: Wrote the first two scenes for the new path on the Villainous storyline, stemming from the choices "use the penlight on Nozomi" then "stick around"ART: New CG for the second scene of the new Villainous storylineART: The sketched CG from Hiroko's Gullible story path has now been replaced with completed artworkWord count is now around 438,500LOCALIZATION: Various edits and corrections to the existing Spanish scriptSome typo and grammar corrections

Hello, everyone! This latest version sees the completion of a new story path on one of Hiroko's storylines. Specifically the one where Kyou convinces himself that she's following his penlight-assisted suggestions because she's gullible and takes that belief to varying extremes with her. I outlined it last month, but now there's a fully-written script some sketches of the CG that depicts its most memorable scene. To get to the new path, make the following choices from the start of the game: Talk to Nozomi, talk about the show, visit the sports club, convince her she's ticklish, don't help her, find out how gullible she is, keep going, keep them both safe. I hope you enjoy it~ Like always you can find this month's release in PC, Linux, Mac and Android versions on my SubscribeStar, Patreon or itch.io pages. I've also linked the most recent flowchart guide on the latest public news post on Patreon. So, another month and another story path done! For next time I've been thinking about tackling something you folks probably aren't expecting, so I'm really hoping I have something good to show by then! What's New WRITING: Concluding scenes written for the new sub-path of the Hiroko Gullible storyline where Kyou takes the safe option during the showART: The new Robot storyline ending CG from last month's release has now been updated with finished artART: New CG that takes place during the cam show of the new Hiroko Gullible story path, sketches only and not currently in the image galleryFIX: Corrected a visual bug that occurs during the Delusion route on day 2 after a CG is playedWord count is now around 435,000LOCALIZATION: Various edits and corrections to the existing Spanish scriptSome typo and grammar corrections

Hiya, folks! This month's update completes the script for the latest sub path of the Robot storyline! Once again for those who don't recall how to get to this path, make the following choices from the beginning: Use the penlight, convince her she needs a boyfriend, head home, ignore her, make her think she's my robot, remind her who's boss and have her become my girlfriend. I hope you enjoy(?) how it plays out! I also had a CG set planned for the ending, but it couldn't be completed in time for this releas so I went with showing the pre-production sketches this time around. The finished art will be out for next month. And speaking of next month, we're going to be exploring a path on Hiroko's Trickster storyline for November. You can read a preliminary outline I wrote for it by making the following choices from the beginning: Talk to Nozomi, talk about the show, visit the sports club, convince her she's ticklish, don't help her, find out how gullible she is, keep going, keep them both safe. Like always you can find this month's release in PC, Linux, Mac and Android versions on my SubscribeStar, Patreon or itch.io pages. I've also linked the most recent flowchart guide on the latest public news post on Patreon. That's all for now.

Hello, everyone! This past month has seen me working to finish the new story path I began in the previous release, taking place during the Robot storyline where Kyou convinces Nozomi to become his girlfriend. Working out an ending to this latest story path on the Robot route has been... challenging, but after a bit of brainstorming I did have enough thoughts on it to write most of the scenes and draft out a quick outline for how I think the ending should go. It definitely takes a different direction to the original path, which is what I was most concerned about going into this, so I hope you... enjoy it? I don't know if that's the right word; you'll see soon enough ^^; Oh, and I also had two new CGs commissioned for this new story path. Once again for those who don't recall how to get to it, make the following choices from the beginning: Use the penlight, head home, ignore her, make her think she's my robot, remind her who's boss and have her become my girlfriend. Like always you can find this month's release in PC, Linux, Mac and Android versions on my SubscribeStar, Patreon or itch.io pages. I've also linked the most recent flowchart guide on the latest public news post on Patreon. And that's all for another month! For October I'm hoping to finalize the script for this new path before moving on to yet another of these unwritten story paths. See you then! What's New WRITING: Wrote the new sub-path for the Robot storyline (where Kyou convinces Nozomi to become his girlfriend) to a conclusion, although the epilogue is only outlined for nowART: Two new CGs that take place during the new Robot storyline sub-pathWord count is now around 430,500LOCALIZATION: Various edits and corrections to the existing Spanish scriptSome typo and grammar corrections

Hello, everyone! For this release I've put together the last little bit of script I needed to complete the Sayori Alter path from last month. I also began writing one of the a new sub-path from the Villainous Robot storyline where Kyou, through nefarious means, convinces Nozomi to become his girlfriend. It's still very much a work in progress, but the initial groundwork has been laid out with a few scenes written. On the art front, I sought to replace a number of scenes that use the standard character sprites with CG art. The climactic scene during the Delusion storyline had its CG extended slightly to cover the entire part where the girls are sitting down, while a number of rooftop scenes throughout the game now use the generic rooftop CG assets after I had a bunch of new expressions added to it. I've always disliked having to use the sprites for these sitting down scenes (and lowering said sprites into the ground to give the impression that they're sitting), so I may make more visual upgrades on that front later. Like always you can find this month's release in PC, Linux, Mac and Android versions on my SubscribeStar, Patreon or itch.io pages. I've also linked the most recent flowchart guide on the latest public news post on SubscribeStar. That's all for this month! In the next, I'm wanting to get one or two CGs done for the new sub-path while I work out the rest of the story and how it's going to differ from the original more robots choice. See you then~ What's New WRITING: The new ending written for the Sayori Alter path now has a complete scriptWRITING: Began writing a sub-path for Robot when Kyou convinces Nozomi to become his girlfriendART: The confrontation CG scene Delusion storyline has been extended slightlyFIX: The CG unlock cheat (click four times on the penlight lens on the title screen) did not unlock one of the CGs from the Hiroko Ticklish storylineWord count is now around 426,500LOCALIZATION: Various edits and corrections to the existing Spanish scriptSome typo and grammar corrections

Hey, everyone! So for this month I managed to (almost) complete one of the remaining story paths on Sayori's original Alter storyline, where Kyou gives in to temptation towards the end, and included a new CG for the fun part of this path. To get to the new writing, begin Sayori's Alter storyline and make sure she leaves Kyou's house as Sayori, and then accept Nozomi's offer of help when she makes it. Like always you can find this month's release in PC, Linux, Mac and Android versions on my SubscribeStar, Patreon or itch.io pages. I've also linked the most recent flowchart guide on the latest public news post on SubscribeStar. For next month, I intend to finish writing the ending here, and then start work on something that might be a little more fun~ Stay tuned! What's New WRITING: A new ending written for the Sayori Alter path, but for a short outline for the final momentsART: A couple of rooftop scenes from the Delusion storyline have been converted to use the CG assetsWord count is now around 423,000LOCALIZATION: Various edits and corrections to the existing Spanish scriptSome typo and grammar corrections

Hi, everyone! For this update I continued the writing I began last month, so we now have an ending of sorts to the new branch path of the Delusion storyline. I'm not totally satisfied with it and I may add a short epilogue scene later on, but it'll do for now while I turn my focus elsewhere. We also have a new CG set for the Sleeper Agent storyline, which appears during the climactic scene. You can get there by taking the villainous path at the start, choosing "turn her into my unwitting spy" and then playing the story through to the weekend. Like always you can find this month's release in PC, Linux, Mac and Android versions on my SubscribeStar, Patreon or itch.io pages. I've also linked the most recent flowchart guide on the latest public news post on SubscribeStar. And that, besides some minor fixes, is that for this month. For next time I'll turn my attention to another unwritten story path (no, I haven't decided yet ^^;) and maybe finally I'll get a decent groove going with my writing efforts. See you then! What's New WRITING: New script added to the Delusion storyline for when Kyou agrees with the girls during the climactic sceneWRITING: Some minor tweaks to the Sleeper Agent script during the struggle sceneART: New CG added for the Sleeper Agent struggle scene on the sixth dayFIX: Corrected a minor issue on one of the CGs for the Villainous Sleeper Agent storylines where Hiroko's mouth wasn't showing properly for some partsFIX: Corrected a minor display bug during Sayori's Doll storyline where Akiko's armband was showing in the wrong placeWord count is now around 422,000LOCALIZATION: Various edits and corrections to the existing Spanish scriptSome typo and grammar corrections

Hi, everyone! For this month's release I had a crack at writing one of the oldest unwritten story paths in the game. The part where Kyou has second thoughts about what he's doing right at the end of Penlight's very first storyline: Delusion. I haven't really looked back at my old work all that much, so this was an interesting experience. I think what's there mostly holds up pretty well, although there's a fair amount of early installment weirdness with how the characters express themselves. Not to mention the sprite art has advanced so much since those early days! With that in mind, I couldn't resist making tons of little tweaks to the script and sprite animations to bring it more in line with the rest of the game. Nothing fundamental's been changed, but I think it looks a little better now. As for the new writing... well, it's unfinished as I dithered with the script and then completely ran out of time. Still, what's there lays out how things will go for Kyou after making such a last minute swerve from total disaster. I hope it makes enough sense at least, and I'll be wanting to finish it off real soon~ Like always you can find this month's release in PC, Linux, Mac and Android versions on my SubscribeStar, Patreon or itch.io pages. I've also linked the most recent flowchart guide on the latest public news post on Patreon. Oh and before I forget, I had a CG made for the ending of last month's story path on Hiroko's route, so do go back and check that out! What's New WRITING: New script added to the Delusion storyline for when Kyou agrees with the girls during the climactic sceneWRITING/CODE: Numerous little tweaks and adjustments to the script and sprites during the Delusion storylineART: New CG has been made that appears in the latest ending of the Hiroko Ticklish storylineWord count is now around 421,000LOCALIZATION: Various edits and corrections to the existing Spanish scriptSome typo and grammar corrections

Hello, everyone! This month's update sees the completion of a sub path on Hiroko's Ticklish storyline. To find out what I'm talking about, start Hiroko's route and select the "ticklish" suggestion, then choose to help her before you reach the point where Kyou has to decide whether or not to go through with his plan. The new path is the one where he chooses to do so. We also have a new CG to go with the new content, and it appears during the fateful scene described above. A variant of it can also be seen early on in the Villainous Sleeper Agent storyline if you're curious about the other blank space in the CG gallery this month~ As always you can find this month's release in PC, Linux, Mac and Android versions on my SubscribeStar, Patreon or itch.io pages. I've also linked the most recent flowchart guide on the latest public news post on Patreon. For next time I'm wanting a CG to close out this latest sub path, then I'll be looking to take on yet another of these hanging story paths. See you then~ What's New WRITING: New sub-path written for Hiroko's Ticklish storyline, giving Kyou the option to influence Hiroko on the sixth dayART: New CG has been made that appears during the Hiroko Ticklish storylineART: New CG has been made that appears during the Villainous Sleeper Agent storylineWord count is now around 420,000LOCALIZATION: Various edits and corrections to the existing Spanish scriptSome typo and grammar corrections

Hi, everyone! This update basically completes the sub path I was working on for Sayori's Alter storyline, which we saw outlined in the previous release. That's something else crossed off the to-do list~ We also have one new CG for the gallery. This one's for the Redemption storyline, on the path where Kyou attempts to walk back his horrific actions only to give in to temptation later on. See if you can find it! As always you can find this month's release in PC, Linux, Mac and Android versions on my Patreon, itch.io or SubscribeStar pages. I've also linked the most recent flowchart guide on the latest public news post on Patreon. For next month I'll be working on one of Hiroko's story paths, so look forward to that and I'll see you then What's New WRITING: The sub-path for Sayori's Alter storyline, mentioned in last month's update, has been written to a conclusionART: New CG that appears during the Redemption storylineWord count is now around 418,000LOCALIZATION: Various edits and corrections to the existing Spanish scriptNumerous typo and grammar corrections

Hello, everyone! I wasn't able to do all that much over the past month but there's still something to show in this update, which expands on one of the previously inaccessible choices in Sayori's Alter storyline. Now, when Kyou maintains Sayori's altered state through an entire day he'll be able to take one last chance to switch her back to normal before things get truly out of control. Will it be enough to save him from Sayori's ire? Or is he already too late? As always you can find this month's release in PC, Linux, Mac and Android versions on my Patreon, itch.io or SubscribeStar pages. I've also linked the most recent flowchart guide on the latest public news post on Patreon.

Hello, everyone! For our first public update of the new year, I tied up the loose ends left over from last time regarding Nozomi's latest story path on her Trance storyline. That means the alternate version of the dark, climactic scene has now been written and has its own CG, replacing the placeholder art from before, and the epilogue is now also illustrated! As always you can find this month's release in PC, Linux, Mac and Android versions on my Patreon, itch.io or SubscribeStar pages. I've also linked the most recent flowchart guide on the latest public news post on Patreon. Please enjoy the new release and I'll see you next month when I'm hoping to have a little more done on Sayori's pending story paths.

Hi, everyone! This update sees the new Nozomi Trance story path written up to a conclusion! To find the new path, begin the game on Nozomi's route, give her a reinduction trigger and on the weekend convince her to stay. For a more specific rundown of the choices needed, please check the guide attached to my Patreon article about this release where the new part is marked in green. There are a couple of caveats when playing this story, though. For one thing, while it's fully playable and enjoyable regardless of your prior choices, the much more complete version of the climactic scene can only be witnessed if one has chosen to tickle Nozomi earlier in the story before it branches into this one. The new CG art is in this version of the story and is looking rather glorious if I do say so myself ^^; Selecting the choice that isn't tickling will still give a story that's playable to the end, only the climactic scene contains placeholder art assets and an unfinished script that will be completed for next month. And that concludes another year of free monthly updates for Penlight~ Enjoy the holiday season and I'll see you next year ^.^ What's New WRITING: The "Convince her to stay" branch of Nozomi's Trance story path has been written to a conclusion, albeit with some placeholder script remainingART: New CG for the climactic scene of the new Nozomi Trance path, with one of the versions fully illustrated and the other using placeholder art to be completed in the next updateMUSIC: The music track "Measured" has been cut in length slightly so it loops betterFIX: Corrected a slight discoloration that occurred during the Nozomi Trance argument CGWord count is now over 414,000FIX: Corrected a display bug in the Tennis Bot route where Hiroko's sprite showed the wrong clothing for a couple of lines during one of the weekend scenesLOCALIZATION: Various edits and corrections to the existing Spanish scriptMinor typo and grammar corrections

Hello, everyone! For this update I fancied taking a crack at another one of the unethical story paths yet to be written... I'm not sure I even *have* any ethical paths left to write at this point?! In this one, taking place about midway through Nozomi's Trance storyline, Kyou compells Nozomi to stay with him for pretty much the entire weekend instead of fulfilling her prior obligations. It's about 40-50% complete, including one CG, and there's a rough outline written for the rest of the path. Go see! And in keeping with the Nozomi focus, I've also added a new CG to her original Trance storyline. This one shows up in the final third if you want to find and check it off your gallery list! As always you can find this month's release in PC, Linux, Mac and Android versions on my Patreon, itch.io or SubscribeStar pages. I've also linked the most recent flowchart guide on the latest public news post on Patreon.

Hi, everyone! This latest update brings with it another new ending! This one's on Hiroko's Ticklish story path, where Kyou makes a different choice during the crucial meeting with her on the school rooftop, with new artwork made just for the occasion. Go read it ^^ Last month's ending on Nozomi's Reversal storyline also got a bit more attention, with some edits to the epilogue script and a proper CG to close it all out. As usual you can find this month's release in PC, Linux, Mac and Android versions on my Patreon, itch.io or SubscribeStar pages. I've also linked the most recent flowchart guide on the latest public news post on Patreon. And that wraps up another month!

Hi, everyone! During these past weeks I've been working on a second path for Nozomi's Reversal storyline, which I'm sure will be of interest to a lot of you. I had to rush it terribly to get it written in time, but there's a conclusion of sorts so I'm excited for people to check it out! To see the new writing, start Nozomi's route and when she asks, let her direct things for a while and tell her you loved it. Then during the "turning the tables" roleplay, make sure to ask Nozomi to do a striptease for a slightly altered set of events that ultimately lead to... well, you'll see. I'm being a little vague out of consideration for spoilers, but if you need more help finding the new content please check the flowchart guide linked below and look for the parts marked in green. Oh, and I also had a lovely new CG made to close out Sayori's storyline from last month, so do check that out as well~ As usual you can find this month's release in PC, Linux, Mac and Android versions on my Patreon, itch.io or SubscribeStar pages. I've also linked the most recent flowchart guide on the latest public news post on Patreon. For next month, I'm wanting to smooth out the rough edges in the new story path's script and then get a CG made for its ending before I think about the next writing task. In the meantime I hope you enjoy the new content and I look forward to having more to show off real soon What's New WRITING: New path added for the Nozomi Reversal storyline, including a roughly-scripted ending ART: New CG added for the Sayori Alter story path ending ART: New CG assets added for the Nozomi Reversal storyline Word count is now over 402,500 LOCALIZATION: Spanish script is up to date, with various small edits made to the earlier script Minor typo and grammar corrections

400,000 words! xD This update, beyond that awesome milestone, completes the storyline I've been writing for Sayori's Alter path. I don't think it's as good as some of Sayori's other stories, but on reflection this one's not so bad overall, with some fun character moments and some lovely CG scenes, including two new ones with this update. I hope you guys enjoy reading it! As usual you can find this month's release in PC, Linux, Mac and Android versions on my Patreon, itch.io or SubscribeStar pages. I've also linked the most recent flowchart guide on the latest public news post on Patreon. Next month will see the addition of a big CG to close out this storyline, plus I'll have something written for one of the other unwritten story paths still to come. So enjoy the latest release and I'll see you then~ What's New WRITING: The latest storyline on Sayori's Alter route has been fully scriptedART: Two new CGs added for the Sayori Alter story pathWord count is now around 400,500LOCALIZATION: Various edits and corrections to the existing Spanish scriptMinor typo corrections

Hi, everyone! As expected, my work on Sayori's latest Alter story path continued with this update. I was able to turn a lot of that rough dialogue and outline from before into some proper script and, following some of the feedback I got, reworked some of the earlier scenes too to keep the story somewhat more consistent. We also have two new CGs for this path, with one appearing in one of its earliest scenes and one in the most recently-written. See what you think! You can find this month's release in PC, Linux, Mac and Android versions on my Patreon, itch.io or SubscribeStar pages. I've also linked the most recent flowchart guide on the latest public news post on Patreon. For next month I'll continue working on this story path now that the finish line's in sight. There's just one big scene to come which could be a ton of fun to close with, but it's going to be some challenge to write.

Hey, everyone! This month saw me pick up Sayori's most recent Alter story path again after having left it hanging earlier in the year. I'd been meaning to get back to it for some time now, and while I couldn't get much dialogue written I did manage to sketch out a tentative outline for the path all the way through to the end! Finishing the thing properly is going to be one of my goals for next month. I also struggled on with one of the branch paths for Nozomi's Zombie Storyline, following some reader feedback I got last time (Hint: It's the one involving a whisper). There isn't much that's new, but I did at least work out the bulk of the next scene which sets us up for some more penlight-related shenanigans in the story to follow. On the art side of things, two new CGs have been added. One for Hiroko's Gullible story path and one for Nozomi's previously-completed path on her Zombie storyline. As ever you can find this month's release in PC, Linux, Mac and Android versions on my Patreon, itch.io or SubscribeStar pages. I've also linked the most recent flowchart guide on the latest public news post on Patreon. Anyway, that's your lot for another month and yeah, next time we should see a lot more movement on finishing Sayori's latest storyline! Hope you look forward to it What's New WRITING: A small amount of additional script for Sayori's Alter story path and and an outline for its conclusionWRITING: A small amount of additional script for Nozomi's Zombie story pathART: New CG added for the Nozomi Zombie storylineART: New CG added for the Hiroko Gullible story pathWord count is now around 396,000LOCALIZATION: Various edits and corrections to the Spanish scriptMinor typo corrections

Hi, folks! This month's release adds a little content to two previously greyed-out story paths on Nozomi's "Zombie" storyline, and develops the open path of Sayori's Alter storyline a tad further. I couldn't write nearly as much as I wanted for any of these paths, but we'll get there in the end~ As ever you can find this month's release in PC, Linux, Mac and Android versions on my Patreon, itch.io or SubscribeStar pages. I've also linked the most recent flowchart guide on the latest public news post on Patreon. And that, aside from a couple new illustrations, is all for this time. I'll keep working on all these ongoing story paths and you can see where I'm at in the next update.

Hello, everyone! This month's update brings with it a number of new scenes spread across three of Penlight's old unfinished story paths. The highlight this month comes from the fact there's now a new ending written for the Villainous Devotion storyline! To see it, play along the Devotion storyline as usual and towards the end the option for Kyou to declare he still wants Nozomi to be his girlfriend will now be playable to a conclusion. I hope you all enjoy how it plays out~ The other main addition is on Sayori's original Alter path. There's a whole new scene written for when Kyou makes an obviously questionable decision, and is something I know a lot of people wanted to see. It can be found by taking the following choices on Sayori's route: Making you think you're someone else -> Switch her back -> Don't use it ->Apologize -> Hypnotize her again. Oh, and if anyone's confused by anything I've written above, please check out the flowchart game guide linked below.
