Hello everyone. I'm Rook, the main writer for this project. As of this post, we just released the first build for our visual novel. 

Psychic Connections in short, is a passion project that I've had rolling around in my noggin' for awhile now. I've often been drawn to mysticism since growing up, but have often been disappointed by the portrayal of people with supernatural abilities. In many fictional pieces, these people seem without limit, and without cost. I for one, abhorred the the concept of this greater power without much cost to one's self.

As I continued to developing this story, I proceeded to gather a team. First was the artist Shiuk, then the programmer Melo, shortly afterwards was our music developer Hugh, and since then we've had more individuals come forward with a desire to contribute.

That is the history behind the project -- but what is the game's plot, after all? In Psychic Connections you play the role of a young college student who has recently finished recovering from a car accident. Ready to resume life where he left off, our protagonist has moved away for college. Attending Elmwood University, our intrepid hero will meet several individuals in possession of psychic abilities.

After joining a secret club comprised of these individuals, you will find yourself entangled in their day to day lives. Assisting them with the pressures of keeping their secrets, while also helping them cope with the psychological tolls their powers bring. There is a lot more than meets the eye to this club. Perhaps there is romance waiting for you at the end of the road... perhaps something more sinister.

We're excited for this project to finally be unveiled to the world, and we hope you'll join us in our excitement. But, enough about us let's get a bit more into the nitty gritty.

When can we expect the next build? Ideally I want to be able to release a build at the end of every month... however, life happens especially with the state of the world right now. We are hoping you'll be patient with us as we go through this journey together, we're very new to all of this.

What can we expect in the next build? The intention is to follow-up straight where we left off in our first build. It will be smaller in content due to a smaller release window. We're working with one less week than before due to our patreon release window. However, the builds should be larger as we move past this shorter period of development. We are also hoping to improve the overall quality of the content provided in the first build in response to the feedback we receive for this initial build.

How many routes will there be? The current plan is for 4 routes of content. That said there is no opposition to expanding that amount depending on a multitude of factors, but that expansion would not occur until the intended content is first completed.

How long will said routes be? This is a bit harder to answer as they’ll be as long as they are written to be, the intention is for each route to be composed of approximately 13 chapters including the prologue. The prologue or first act is 4 chapters.

Will it be free? Yes! We want Psychic Connections to remain free for everyone. It's possible in the distant future we might produce some sort of HD rendition for steam or some other platform on which it may not be free. But fear not, the entire story will see completion as a free product.

I want to donate money to the project, how can I do so? That is very kind of you, and is very much possible. We have a patreon for such purposes.

I am a streamer/Let's Player, can I record my playthrough of the game and monetize it? Yes. Psychic Connections as long as attribution is given to us, you don't even have to ask for permission. We'd still welcome it if you gave us a heads up so we can share it on our social media. 

Phew, that's a big wall of text. If you read all the way to the end, then thank you, and I hope you'll be sticking with us through this journey.
