Hi there? Where are ypur sub-chapters for episodes 1 and 2 now? I mean the onea about Verd de Gris and all that.
Hi Ankh,
They are removed, as I am about to release the new versions of episodes 1-4 to the public. The story has been rewritten from the ground up, making those old “sub-chapters” irrelevant.
