I Always Dream of Falling
All this time they've spent under the spotlight has begun sending Adair down a spiral of depression. They only continue to distance themself from their loved ones, despite knowing how much they're in need of support, withdrawing themself from the world more than ever before. Desperation has begun to take hold, however, and now they search for an alternate means of escape...but, the only way to go from here is down deeper, and deeper, falling into the unknown...where they can't be sure what (or...who?) they may encounter along the way.
Around 1.2k words in length. Most of the length is pictures...hehe. Made for Decker VN Jam (of which I am the host!!)

This is great, I really like your art and you've done cool things with like the colour and black and white and such!
absolutely beautiful vn... the use of color (and lack thereof), as well as the transitions between certain cards, says so much as to the characters' respective perspectives, and the effect had by their conversation. i will definitely be checking out the rest of the series!!
The color palette, the art style, and the ever-changing perspective completely capture the dreamlike aspect of Adair's inner monologue. Brilliant!
Lovely! I really enjoyed how the color (and black & white sections) helped to tell the story.
