Oh Noh. It's here. (Patreon)

If you're on the Sanctum discord (which I highly suggest you join to receive mini-update news!), you may noh that all of Chapter 16 was posted yesterday, and yet Noh's reveal was nohwhere in sight. I'll have a post on Friday about all the changes made that resulted in the reveal's many delays, but I suspect that no one cares overmuch to read that right now when the actual reveal itself is nohw out.
(Don't hate me for the repetitive puns, my timeframe to use them is running out.)
The important thing: Chapter 16 and Noh's reveal scene in Chapter 17 are now in the demo.
Before you click the link, however, I do have a few favors to ask:
1) Please keep discussion of Noh's identity off social media so as not to spoil the plot for others.
2) On the Sanctum discord, please use spoiler tags everywhere, even the Conspiracy channel (this isn't what I originally said, but then I realized that people could get accidentally spoiled by thumbing down on a notification).
3) It's possible that Noh's reveal won't be a reveal for you. You'll still get the same scene, but unless you've played through a certain past scene, you won't have the context to conclude Noh's identity. Don't worry, you'll have a later opportunity to unmask them.
4) Please be kind. Noh may not be who you wanted or expected, but it's always been a part of the story.

Other Notes:
Noh's current reveal doesn't really work great with all the new tunnel-related changes in my opinion (I'll post on all that later), and the next update will have it occuring at the end of Chapter 17 instead of the beginning (at a different location).
Despite these issues, I've worked in the earlier, pre-tunnel version because I'm not a totally terrible human being that does nothing but tease and wanted to share the promised reveal as soon as possible (which, admittedly, hasn't been very soon).
It's also currently impossible for Kenzie to break free in Chapter 17, because I'm focusing on one path at a time.
