It's been almost a month since Luna departed, but I wanted to give everyone(and her) an update; Alan's been out of the hospital and we're hanging out more, Joel's serving time and I plan to try out writing prose.
If you're seeing this Luna, know that everything's fine.

Update pt.4: Alan confronted him and a fight broke out between us and Joel. During it, Alan got stabbed but I was able to subdue and restrain Joel until the cops came. Alan made a recovery in the hospital while Joel was arrested and charged for his crimes.

Update pt.3: During the meeting with Joel, I distracted him in his living room while Alan looked for more evidence. What Alan found disturbed us; photos of Luna on Joel's PC, including shots from outside her house and 4 of her corpse. He ran her over in his car.

Update pt.2: Alan mentioned Joel constantly coming into the shop he and Luna worked and sometimes staring at her. Lining up his red stripes with this information meant Joel must've been the stalker. So I spent some time getting close to him, to find some evidence.

Update pt.1: Before I left months ago, I found a new envelope with a hex code for "red stripes". Joel always used to wear a red striped jacket, even when it's warm. But Alan said Joel stopped wearing it around the time Luna died, in early June of that year.

So Alan and I set up a meeting with Joel, our former coder. All things considered, he's bound to know something about how or why Luna is in the game. We may be able to help her find peace. She acted a little off when I mentioned this though.

Hey everyone, Nathan here. It's been a long time but I'm back. I had to lay low for a while as I gathered some info to help Luna with her situation. For now, I can't reveal anything and I'm sorry for that, but Alan and I have a better picture now.

Sorry for the radio silence. My computer's old and it finally kicked the bucket(probably due to all the glitches in Pastel hearts). I recently upgraded though, so expect new posts soon.

On a whim, I talked to an NPC outside the arcade. She had a Note like the envelope from earlier, also with hex code. This one comes out as "june 5". The last bit was interesting, since this game does feel a bit empty.

I went looking for another clue and saw Luna in the park. However, aside from a change of clothes and eye color, something just felt off. When I approached, this happened and the game crashed. I also started feeling really dizzy.

I found out that the numbers from the envelope were a hex code for the word "hide". During the date with Luna, this came up. However, there wasn't a dialogue choice. I said sure out loud and she replied. What is this game?

After a bit of time, I was able to get a date with Luna and was heading to the cafe when I saw this envelope. But when I open it, there's just numbers; 68, 69, 64, 65. I'll look into it.

OK, this is uncanny. I wasn't expecting her to respond to a custom name like that. But what really got to me is that I named her after the 1st thing I saw; my desktop wallpaper...a picture of the moon over a city.

After going into town, I've found there's an arcade, a book shop, and a cafe. You can do activities in these places to start dialogue with a character.
Right now I'm in the arcade. I'll try talking to the blonde woman by the window next.

So far so good. Beginning in your bedroom, as one would. I forgot to capture the title screen, but this is a beta, so it's likely to change. I remember this was a dating sim kind of deal when I helped out on it.

A few years ago, I helped some college friends with making an indie game. But life got in the way and the project halted.
However, I recently met with one of them, Alan, and he gave me a download link for the beta game. There's bound to be errors, so I'll look into it and post screenshots.
