In this episode we wrap up the first chapter (Writer's Block). We make some tough choices and see what their immediate impact is on the family.

I've used some different recording/rendering settings, so let me know what you think of the quality of this video.

"The Novelist asks one central question: can you achieve your dreams without pushing away the people you love? The game focuses on Dan Kaplan, a novelist struggling to write the most important book of his career while trying to be the best husband and father he can be. The Kaplans have come to a remote coastal home for the summer, unaware that they're sharing the house with a mysterious ghostly presence: you."
