An epub version of the chapter is also attached, as always!
Woah, okay, this chapter. This chapter! I'm sure many of you made bold and wild predictions for what we were about to see, after Heather ripped the label off the next of the manuscripts and disrupted the orderly progression of her own story. And so, for the first time in Katalepsis (so far), we have ... well! You'll just have to go see!
As for where this is all taking us, I think I can say with some pretty solid confidence that arc 24 is indeed all but guaranteed to exceed 30 chapters. We're not wrapping this up in three more. At the moment my public estimate is 32 chapters, but I'm leaving room for up to 35. But I would be really surprised to hit 35 chapters! We'll see!
Once again I have some lovely art to share with you all! Who has been the most reliable and unshakable presence throughout this entire arc? That's right, it's Dream Guardian Praem, (drawn by the very talented Cera!) Amusingly when I first saw this one I didn't have my glasses on, and I thought it was a real photograph, and that somebody had made Praem Fumo real.
Anyway! As a short reminder, there is no Katalepsis chapter next week, public or patreon. (For those who may have missed my previous post about changing the publishing schedule, I'll leave a link here.) As I mentioned in my previous post, I'm going to be keeping the Table of Contents page as up-to-date with my plans and publishing schedule as I can, so if you're ever in doubt, the release dates should all be right there! And I will see you all next chapter!

2024-08-17 19:48:25 +0000 UTCDefinitely play Little Nightmares. The story of those games is right up your alley. In fact, with some parts of this chapter, I really thought that you were using it as a referance material.

2024-08-17 17:01:43 +0000 UTCThank you very much! Really glad you enjoyed this so much! And you're right, there's more than a touch of the Orphan of Kos in Eileen's beginnings there. I've never played Little Nightmares though! Sounds like I should! She does need a hug, after unburdening herself of so much. Perhaps now Heather finally understands.

2024-08-17 09:23:06 +0000 UTCLoved this chapter! Poor Eileen, going from being Bloodborne's Orphan of Kos, to Little Nightmares' hungry raincoat girl Six. Hiding from the adults that want to eat her while also being a little cannibalistic monster herself. I wish to hug her, I hope that Heather will give her a hug.
