I may feel afraid to say this, but I have been struggling with balancing my life and low motivaton lately because of anxiety and sometimes depression being in the way. I'm also in college which puts me under pressure, tbh, Routes to Independence basically feel like I'm in the underworld so far, which caused me to lose motivation.
So maybe you guys would have to wait for Episode 19 to release any day now when my motivation is ready. while you're waiting, I might try to pick myself up and put some changes an adjustments to the other episodes since I kinda retconned a bunch of things.
