Scout: An Apocalypse Story

I love that people still actively come here to comment. Because of this, a long time ago, I tried this game and was blown away. It was my lead into the world of interactive fiction and has inspired me and opened up my own way to tell stories in this kind of format, since I've never been gifted to do things in a visual novel method regarding art and assets. So thank you Scout, for being so special to so many people. Maybe one day, it will return and we can all rejoice but I dearly hope the writer knows how impactful they are! 

I hope this isn't abandoned bcoz it's SO GOOD 😭 My MC needs to kiss Oliver

I keep coming back to this story hoping for an update, and I'm glad I'm not alone in that. I miss my boy Oliver :,)

Thank you, times a million, Anya.

I hope you're doing well, wherever you might be.

When will it fully come out?

GUYS! GUYS!! GUYS!!!

"Scout will not be unfinished, but it will be paused. "

Do not lose hope gang, one day she will return and feed us all. Even if it takes 10 years, everything will be alright. We'll get our happy ending! Do.Not.Lose.Hope.

Another tourist here to leave a written cairn on one of the best IF's i've read.

in a way, the fact this will most likely never be finished gives it this sort of greatness, any update could steer either way so for now we're left in this limbo where it will always be perfect, and never be.

Hopefully the creator comes back to it, whether to announce its dead or resume updating, as i love everything about it; the settings, characters, motives, how you can't entirely trust either side. It is rather amazing.

May the deserts treat all of us well.

Well..I just felt really disappointed when I looked at the last update;-;

just played this, insanely good and well-written! I really hope you will continue it but no pressure, from what I've seen it's been a good while since you left, i really hope chapter 5 will see the light of day, much love!!<3

MASTERPIECE!  

It's a terrific story and very well written.  Although not finished,  the existing content is relatively rich. She is really good at pacing the story, rendering the atmosphere and emotions. When MC flirts with ROs, I can't control my squealing outside of the screen. ( Unfortunately, no sexual content at present, I can do anything for that!!!)

omfg i luv this so muchhhhhhhh!!!!!!! take ur time, hope ur doing great!!!!!xoxo

If you're new to this game, please don't feel discouraged to play this game due to the update (2021). It is an extremely well written interactive fiction that is worth playing.  I hope you fall in love with this as much as we all have! It's been 3-4 years and Anya still has people coming back... that's got to say something about their writing!  Please check it out and at your own risk of a heartbreak worth having lol. 

Anya deserves their flowers and may they be showered with all the flowers in the world. Some may think i'm exaggerating but I am not 😭. Trust me.  

Please also consider that life happens and realistically Anya does have to cater to their personal life first. Life does take a lot of our time away and I hope we all understand that. 

Country roaaads, take me hoooome...

im gonna remember everyone in these comments for life..hows it going all ! ^_^

hope you're ok <3

dear Anya, thank you for writing this story and I hope you're doing well<3 I can't believe it's already been three years... every so often, I come back to just look at this page and mourn this game and think about the joy it still brings. it's heartwarming to see so many others do the same :)

I was wondering if the story would be continue to be written or not:( 'cause it's so good but it was way long ago since the last update

can you give a physical description written somewhere? I am enjoying your game.... thanks

I'm dying to see the next update, it was soooo good

Anya you will always be famous

hey buddy update this PLEASE

i have never cried harder than today when i realize the last update of this game was 2021. It's a wonderful story so far and im enjoying just replaying through every route.

Long time ago someone here asked about recommendations for ifs, similar to Scout.

While this game is in what looks to be an indefinite hiatus, maybe check out Viatica

https://firfireweed.itch.io/viatica

In my opinion there are similar vibes - dystopian post-apocalyptic deserted world with a small group of survivors and shady government with questionable morales and lots of secrets.

hi anya, i hope ur doing well today ♡

Come sit with me, we'll remember Scout together.

every so often i pop back onto this page just to have a moment of mourning and fond remembrance for one of my first and favorite IFs. RIP scout, you'll always be a pillar of the IF community <33

happy to know I’m not alone in checking Scout to see if there’s been an update 

scout, how i mourn you

Why are we still here?     Just to see that theres still no update? (Im depressed this will possibly never be finished)

i came across this years ago when it first came out and i liked it so much i named my dog after one of the characters (i also just liked the name). its so sad to come back to it now and see it discontinued

I wonder if the author is okay

I don't think we'll ever find another IF equally incredible as this one, but I'm not ready to say goodbye to this one yet.

We've all come back here so many times now this place is practically a checkpoint. Would love to hear anything from you Anya <3

Just discovered this only to find out it's more than likely been discontinued </3 such great writing and characters! I hope that maybe one day it'll return and I hope Anya's doing okay. Shout out to everyone still checking in and showering this story with love <3

coming back to check on this game after three years ... feels like putting a rose on my dead lover's grave. still one of the best ifs out there <3

bro this was my fav in high school. I started reading it as a sophomore during lockdown and since the last update I’ve graduated 😭 I used to check every day for an update and it’s dwindled into checking every few months.  would love to just know ur ok author <3 hope all is well

this is genuinely so good! i wish all the best to both the author and others playing this game :)
