Chapter 4 update coming in April

Chapter 4 BETA & Steam Release

The BETA/Early Release schedule for Patreon and SubscribeStar is now available on those platforms.

Official Public Release for players who own the game on Steam and Itch will happen in mid to late April, once we have had time to add Steam achievements and do further testing once those are added.

THIS WILL BE A SAVE-BREAKING UPDATE!
WARNING!!! SAVES WILL BE BROKEN THIS UPDATE! Opening old saves will introduce bugs. Please plan to start a new game or use the Entry Points feature to avoid opening old saves. To be safe, please consider deleting your old save files: https://savelocation.net/renpy


We know broken saves are a huge inconvenience for players, but unfortunately we made too many changes to the foundation of the codebase for it to be avoided.

What's new in Chapter 4?

With this update we are adding:
  • 16 scenes, 9 lewd
  • ~55K+ words
  • 2,226 renders
  • 97 animations
  • 28 songs, 21 sfx

[h2]Ren'Py upgrade and code optimization[/h2]
This update we upgraded from Ren'Py 7.4.11 to Ren'Py 8+ which allows us to take advantage of the newer optimization features Ren'Py has to offer! We also took this opportunity to refactor our code to integrate well with Crowdin and help automate the translation process.

[h2]New Achievements feature added[/h2]
We've now added Achievements (which were previously only available via the Steam platform) to the game itself so that players on all platforms can access them! All players will get notifications when achievements are completed and can check in-game to see which achievements they have completed or not. If you have the Walkthrough features purchased and enabled, you can also get hints for the achievements in-game.


[h2]Unlock All Memories feature added[/h2]
We added the ability to Unlock All Memories with a toggle in the settings. We already had the feature that allows you Reset All Memories. These are quality of life features to help players who get stuck in bugged states, are playing on multiple platforms/devices that can't share saves, etc. Both can be found in the Options menu in the More tab.


[h2]Brand new GUI throughout entire game[/h2]
Thank you to m. of Tsundere Studio for the complete GUI overhaul! We couldn't be happier with how it all turned out. Be sure to add their game to your Steam wish list:
