Chapter 4, at long last!!!


Here's everything you can expect:

  • 25 new events

That's all I'm saying. Play it to find out the rest.

I know it took a lot longer than it should've. My job got in the way a bit and a lot of the chaos from the first releases made writing this one much harder. That's why, half-way through, I decided to do an "intermission update" where I'll fix the tangled mess I made while worrying about criticism.

I don't anymore. I see there's a lot of you who love the game and it makes me more confident to just write the story as intended, instead of trying to appease the complainers.

I have zero clue about how long the update will take, but I will say that it's only a facelift and streamlining content that's already there. It's not like I'll be redoing all the art, which is 70% of the work of any update. In any case, it shouldn't take as long as this one did and I'll keep you updated on Discord!

Thanks for your support and enjoy!

Known bug: So far, two people had a problem where their saves didn't work. The problem originates somewhere in the Renpy engine code and I can't even replicate it myself, so I have no idea what's causing it. It's rare, but if this happens to you, loading a save prior to Chapter 3 should work. Sorry for any inconvenience.

With how Chapter 3 ended I was excited to go through all the new events and I think it's safe to say it was worth the wait. A lot of the dialogue between characters in previous chapters was already thought provoking but, in my opinion, the thought provoking thoughts in Chapter 4 are on a whole other level!

This was already a VN that I highly regarded since it the characters and world had depth, it wasn't one where the story was kinda barebones and, the H-Scenes are about a dime a dozen, but I think this chapter especially cemented it as one of my favorites.

I'll be interested to see if and how future chapters change where characters stand in regards to my most to least favorite

I'm glad you're enjoying it! There's a lot of games where devs just loosely string a bunch of H-scenes together for a quick profit. It's easier, it works because most people only want that. 

I set out to write a story I wanted and the 18+ content is just sprinkles and icing on the cake. Doesn't make my game popular with the larger crowd, but I'm glad it has an effect on people's lives. That's the goal :)
