You are correct. It was a visual novel, but unfortunately, I encountered a problem with the program I used that I tried to solve for a long time and it only ended up stressing me out, so I decided to change the format until the story is finished, which meant getting rid of every visual aspect.
The good thing about this is that it gave me the freedom to add a few new things, like better customisation and the option to choose the ROs gender.
I still want to make it a visual novel, but I'm afraid that will have to wait for the future, once the first draft is done at least.
So not cancelled, really. More like delayed. I'm very sorry for the confusion. 😔
Thank you for reporting those errors! They were both caused by typing the variables wrong but it should be fixed now. Perhaps you'll have to replay the scene where you choose the doctor's gender, sorry for the inconvenience.
there are a few errors when mentioning the name of a few npcs at certain scenes and when you try to select the sword it appears that you chose the magic grimoire/magic book when you hadn't
I'm sorry, this update is taking way longer than I expected. Mainly because I had a problem with the backgrounds I was using, and it was stressing me out so much I decided to change the entire format. I was using Renpy, now I'm using Twine, getting rid of all the visual aspects, which makes it easier and less stressful for me because I don't have to worry about sprites and backgrounds and I can focus on the story only. I will change it back to a visual novel once I'm finished with the first draft, and hopefully I'll be better at drawing backgrounds enough to be able to make them myself and not rely on anyone else.
But to compensate the removal of the visual part I'm currently writing a prologue to show how MC met the rest of the group, and I'm making the ROs gender customisable -which was something I wanted to do before the release but decided against it because of all the work I'd had to do with the sprites and CGs-, and I'm also adding a codex to help the player understand the world and the lore a bit better, and to put all the important information about characters, places and valuable items.
So TL;DR, I've removed all the visual aspects of the story and started from scratch on a new format. Unfortunately I don't know when I'll be able to release the next update, I'm about half way through the writing but I still have some things to work on, so probably a month or two? Although I can promise that after this update the next ones will be much quicker .

Slightly confused? Wasn't this a Visual Novel or was that cancelled?

Thank you so much for telling me! It will be fixed in a few weeks when I release the next update
Any updates on the next release?
