I suppose I could still forgive you, or maybe not, September 1, 2025

A short story of a friend (or maybe not) who has trapped you and plans to sell you. Still, he seems to have some regrets... maybe. I mean, times are tough, and he is also planning to save you later (he says).

You get one choice with two options here, broadly described as deciding that he is still yours, and deciding that you hate him. Won't spoil any further details, but it was a fairly interesting short read. Trying out both options should take you five to ten minutes at most, and thankfully, there is text rollback here.

The art is good, and the music was also pretty nice to listen to, although I'm a little mixed as to how much it fits the mood of the game, where you're getting sold and all. Being able to play this without a download is another plus. I could recommend this for a short bit of entertainment.
