Subscriptions & Collections
Two paths through the same journey: follow it episode by episode by subscription, or buy any collection and own it instantly. Here is every episode and where it belongs. All prices are in US dollars (USD), with checkout, payment and any sales tax or VAT handled by Patreon from start to finish, as the merchant of record.
The Serialized Path
Subscribe and read along in release order, like a magazine serial. You always have the two most recently released episodes, the newest and the one before it. The Prologue and Episodes 1 and 27 are free, so the subscription opens at Episode 2 on launch day.
The two lit episodes are what a subscriber can read right now, the latest released one and the one just before it. Every two weeks a new episode lights up, and the oldest of the three moves on to the Shop. At launch the latest release is Episode 2, with the free Episode 1 alongside it. The walk follows the reading order through every episode, including the free Episode 27, and only steps over Episodes 33 and 36, the two Specials, which are bought separately. Click any episode to see its release date.
