This is excellent writing. I recently became interested in creating text-based adventures with Inky, but I'm far from this level. No wonder this adventure is having success. I wonder which engine was used to make it.
Coincidentally, I just downloaded Twine and tried to understand how it works. I love it; it's just what I've been looking for. It's perfect for narrative, not as schematized as Inkle. I don't know Renpie, but I think I'll give it an eye in the future.
THIS IS SO GOOD!!! Thank you for including both male and female love interests (and y'all are SLEEPING on my boy erza btw). I'll be waiting for an update, even if it takes years <3
Was looking through my feed notifications and Scout popped up. I thought it was an update, but it was just a review from someone I followed. I got so sad again, but I'm also so happy that people are still showing love for this WIP. I've commented this before, but this is the IF that got me into reading IFs... It's bittersweet to come back every few months to check. I'm sad that we may never see anymore updates, but I am filled with joy by this community. I love all of my fellow Scouts! ❤️
I just spent an hour and a half reading your story. I love how naturally the story flows, and how all of the choices are tactfully placed and timed. I'm not finishing it tonight, but I'm absolutely blown away by what I've seen so far. Thank you.
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!
"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.
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
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!!!)
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.
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 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.
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.
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

This is excellent writing. I recently became interested in creating text-based adventures with Inky, but I'm far from this level. No wonder this adventure is having success. I wonder which engine was used to make it.
I have also been making Interactive text-based adventures. I am using Twine!! which is really amazing. But I am also trying to figure out Renpie.
Coincidentally, I just downloaded Twine and tried to understand how it works. I love it; it's just what I've been looking for. It's perfect for narrative, not as schematized as Inkle. I don't know Renpie, but I think I'll give it an eye in the future.
Most definitely! I think renpie just give you more customization options! But Twine is by far my favorite!
THIS IS SO GOOD!!! Thank you for including both male and female love interests (and y'all are SLEEPING on my boy erza btw). I'll be waiting for an update, even if it takes years <3
Good
So good
So freaking good
Wow.
ksjghiousgrvolsauh Its back! Anya you’re okay, I’m so happy you’re okay!!!! I’m crying

I′ve got my ticket for the long way 'round
Two bottle whiskey for the way(╥﹏╥) ...(Sing with me, partner!)
And I sure would like some sweet company,
And I'm leaving tomorrow, what do you say?
When I'm gone,
When I'm goooone..
You're gonna miss me when im gone.
I just spent an hour and a half reading your story. I love how naturally the story flows, and how all of the choices are tactfully placed and timed. I'm not finishing it tonight, but I'm absolutely blown away by what I've seen so far. Thank you.
Three and a bit years later, the IF community is still a little bleaker without Anya :(
I hope she's thriving out there.

I hope this isn't abandoned bcoz it's SO GOOD 😭 My MC needs to kiss Oliver
bro its been 3.5 years.... unfortunately i think it's safe to call time at this point lmao
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?
if you look at the most recent update, it says it's on indefinite hiatus
Oh alright thanks!
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.

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

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

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

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.
