New update, possible save file issue!

An update was just pushed that has the potential to break some save files, depending on where specifically you saved. I’m hoping this impacts a very small number of users, if any at all.

Note that this does NOT lose any unlock progress in game. This only may lose your current place mid-route.

I apologize for this, but the way updates are handled on Steam is different than I expected, so I had to restructure some of the backend files to make updates easier and smaller in the future.

This is what the error will look like if you encounter it.

There are two very easy ways to get back to where you left off if your save file breaks.

  1. If you start a route and hit the Tab key, the game will fast-forward through content you already read.
  2. If you right-click ‘Skip’, you can skip all content until the next choice prompts.


These two methods will get you back to where you left off in seconds! And again, no unlock progress or endings completed or anything like that will be lost.

Again, deeply sorry for this, and I hope this is the last time this ever happens. This is my first game developed and I’m a team of one, so I learn some lessons the hard way!

Going forward, updates on Steam will be generally be very small in file-size.

This update also includes a lot of typo fixes in Sebastian’s route.

Bug fixes & reports

A new build is going out today with some sprite and typo fixes!

If you run into any typos, please don’t hesitate to send a quick email to [email protected]. I don’t need any kind of fancy report, a simple screenshot is very helpful into getting it fixed.

Sorry for the typos, I know they can be annoying! I’m a one-person dev/writer team and it’s a big game, so please forgive me. :D

You can also post bugs on the Discord server.

Particles of Reality Release Date

The official release date is set! September 19th, 2023 at 10am EST.

Note: You may have noticed an update go out for the demo. Note that there is no new content in the demo. The latest update is primarily for the numerous GUI changes.

Thanks so much for your support!

Demo Update v0.4.0.0-B2D

It's been awhile since there's been a demo update!

There's two major changes of note in this new demo build:

1. Julian's route has undergone some revisions.

While the path and ending are the same in the demo build, there have been some significant changes to Julian's character and new scenes! A brand new character is introduced during his route.

2. Mini-stories have been added to the game, and have been made available in the demo!

There are currently two mini-stories - one in Julian's route, and one in Sebastian's route.

Mini-stories are text-only canon content. They are similiar to side stories, but shorter in length and without the backgrounds and graphics. These will generally take 5-10 minutes to play.

They exist to provide some valuable insight into the character's background and development, that would otherwise be difficult to do without new art development.

Mini-stories have been included in the demo in hopes to get some feedback from the players!

So please, I'd love to hear your opinions. You can post your feedback on the PoR Fourm, where I've started a discussion. Or on our Discord.

Other Info:

The game has a Q2 2023 release date. :)

It is still under development! There's still lots of polish to do in the remaining routes, and more content coming before release.

Character Profiles

Some images have been floating around for awhile as part of the game advertising! They talk about the character's favorites and... personal interests. Check 'em out here!
