I've tried to download this from both mega and gofile links, but they both get stuck at 100% and copying the file to the disk (yes I have enough space).

Does anyone else have this problem?

Just tried GoFile and it downloaded fine. Could have just been a glitch the day you tried downloading.

It is REALLY REALLY a shame. Honestly, I wouldn't mind if this became a joint collaboration to honor the memory of the author... Of course it would not be the same but...

I've read through a page or two of comments and have an understanding of what led to the abandonment.

That reason aside, not in an insensitive manner at all as nothing is owed and certainly a game is far down the list when the other side is a shitty reality, is the game completed enough to play and enjoy? Or is it an experience enjoyed only for people who have been here all along even though the game is incomplete?

IMHO, yes. It is quite long and it definitely has some outstanding scenes and moments.

You asked a difficult question. It's philosophical, even. Let me ask you this: Would you be able to love someone knowing that they would leave you at the height of your love for them?
Personally, I had a lot of fun moments reading this AVN. However, as my pain is still raw, I can't in good conscience recommend you start playing it in its current state. And its current state is unlikely to change.
My answer will probably be different in a few months' time. By then, I might be reminiscing about this game and Elsa in particular!

It is a shame that something so good will never be concluded, but we can only thank the author for the experience they have provided us with so far. It is rare to see something so well-written in this niche. Hoping his family is okay.

I think i will never recommend it, despite it being an awesome avn and Elsa such a unique, great and interesting LI.

But imo the whole avn so far was just setup and now we will miss to "reap the rewards" which sadly makes it very unsatisfying (imo). AVN's (or books looking at grrm ...) with awesome stories are the worst if they get abandoned without a conlcusion and it always makes everything meaningless in retroperspective.

Since no one else has shared this, I'll post a bit of good news.

Sqwl is alive and has posted on his Discord. He basically confirmed his illness, but expects to have a few years left. For that reason, he's going to be stepping away from the game. At least for the time being.

In his words:

"I do have a medical condition, and it is killing me. Although slowly, so I think I still have a few years left. I've been going through a lot of thoughts since I learned it. All the thoughts you can imagine in such a situation. As if there's any sense in it.

I love CC. It's full of flaws, but it was never commercial for me. I gave it everything I had while I could. But right now I want to step away. I want to be somewhere else. I want to spend my time on something else. Maybe there will be a time when I'll make peace with what happened and will be able to give some closure. But it won't be today.

Thank you. I wish it would have turned out differently. I wish I could have made more."

This is such great news. I still feel so sorry for the dev, but atleast he's still alive and there's still hope and he can live every day knowing he made something that brought so many people together. Who knows what the future holds, but atleast he has these years to reflect on life and I wish and hope he can somehow recover from it, even if not so, his story will remain.

It's completely understandable for someone in that position to decide their priorities lie elsewhere. Can't say I'm stoked about the ghosting, though, if it didn't come as a surprise.

Gutted to know that we won't be getting any closure with the story, I really enjoyed it, and I really wanted to know what the deal was with Elsa.

All the best my dude, I hope you find some measure of peace and happiness with whatever you decide to do.

All my left is 2 questions...
Is anyone willing to pick this up?
Would SQWL be willing to share files/designs and future plans with this person?
I will never understand why some people want someone else to continue the abandoned games. They are not corporate things but personal projects in most cases. Without the original author it loses its meaning.

It's sad yes but you have to learn mourning and play other games.
