Chapter 1 will be released on Saturday 10!

A lot will change compared to the current alpha. Here’s an overview of the changes:

Script changes:

Chapter 1 can now be fully played through! 16k new words have been added, making the script now total around 24k words.

Some lines in the first 8k words have been edited or added to better convey some information.

Art changes:

All the sprites have been redrawn.

Some new minor character sprites were added.

Two CGs were redrawn, and the three memory CGs have some small fixes.

The old backgrounds have some small fixes, and several new backgrounds were added.

New UI:

All the UI has been redone.

You can now press Escape to open the pause menu in game, which you can use to navigate to the other menus.

You can consult the new Character menu to check your stats.

Since so much has changed, your older saves won’t be able to properly read the script/variables. Make sure to start a new game!

(you'll be able to use the saves you make in this chapter in future updates, the overhaul of the alpha demo was just too major to keep things working)

The new content also comes with added warnings:

Some choices can lead to explicit violence and depictions of blood.

The game page has been updated with the new art and screenshots, so take a look if you’d like an early peek of the new and improved visuals.

Thank you for reading!
