The Hero's Journey
Chapter 4 released!
Hey everyone! Chapter 4 is now released, and THJ is now complete! Here's what the update contains:
70k new words
10 new CGs
many different epilogues based on your choices
new game+ additional stat points
Also, an important thing to note:
Some players had issues with not being able to save past a certain point, and it's likely more players would have encountered this issue further into the game. Because of this I've had to once again change the way the save system works, so your saves from the last updates won't be usable.
But you won't have to replay the game from the start: there is now a "Start from a different chapter" menu that lets you pick your choices and start from Chapter 2, 3 or 4. Just start a new game and choose that option.
It'll unlock any CGs/journal entries associated with those chapters or specific choices, as well, so you're not losing anything. It also serves as a nice little summary if you don't quite remember everything that happened in previous chapters!
If you catch any typos or bugs in any chapter of the game, please let me know! THJ's free content is now done, but I'll be working on the DLC booklet and NSFW scenes, and I'll make patches for the game if there are any issues.
Here's some content warnings for the new chapter:
Depictions of blood and verbal descriptions of injuries
Choices that lead to character death
Mentions of sexual assault
Chapter 4 is overall fairly heavy and has a lot of tension all throughout, so make sure you're in the mood for that.
Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy the final chapter of THJ :)

I just finished Yì Kâi's route and BRO 😭😭😭
Some bug first: in ch4 (ikemma route) when Seren was asked why she was helping Martyn, both dialogue for friend/lover appeared: like "she's helping her friend's father out" then "she's helping her lover's father out." Also I chose the sun path but when recounting my adventure to my precious bb in the tower, Seren said Thisbe attacked them in the desert and meant to die doing so when it was Emrys who was pursuing them
Sorry if this is incoherent, I was just absolutely SHATTERED. I was bawling my eyes out Yì Kâi was just waiting for Seren and it did not even cross his mind that she would betray him 😭 and even made excuses for her after she told him that her past self willingly did so 😭😭😭 I'm still processing everything so I'll do the other routes when I'm done processing cuz bb u broke my heart and it's just 👌 I look forward to the DLC!!!
No this was super clear, thank you! I'll make a fixed build in a few days (because I'll probably get more bug reports by then haha).
I hope you'll enjoy the other routes, you definitely started with the most heart-wrenching one! (I cried when testing the final talk with Yì kǎi too :') I do this to myself)
I'm so excited at the idea to play the full game ! Well I'll have to wait until I have the time but aaaaah so happy !
Congratulations on finishing the game !
I'll make a detailed review as soon as I can, until now I really enjoyed the game !
thank you :) I hope you'll enjoy the last chapter and I look forward to hearing your thoughts!
amazing game but I'm playing on mac and when MC is spending the night with Emrys. It just freezes and I can't click on anything really. The same thing happens at the end of the game the screen just suddenly freezes. The problem is just that the game freezes at times and I'm unable to play.
When it's frozen, does anything happen if you press the escape button (it normally brings up the quick menu)? Also, does it freeze every time you reach those particular points in the story or is it okay when you restart and play to those points again?
I've restarted the game and it again happened. I can press the ESC button but it doesn't do anything I can't gt past that point.
Could you tell me the last line of text that shows up in both places it occurs in (or show me a screenshot, whatever is easier for you)? I'll look into this but I'm not sure what the problem might be yet.
One thing you can try if you haven't already is to start a new game (in case maybe there's an issue with your save file missing a variable or something).
One last thing: are you connected to the internet while those problems occur? My game has cloud diagnostics enabled which gives me info on bugs that players encounter in the game, but I didn't get anything for this! If not and you don't mind doing it, it would help me understand what the problem might be.
he whispers this with a pained frown. so you let your hand fall and allow him to take the lead (for Emmys)
lady Catrin visits you in Bryn Arth, morgan silently following she spent years in prison and morgan with Cecil with a shaking voice she explains that Cecil has done experiments on her child that she did not allow. the damage done to his soul will take years to reverse years she'd hoped to repair his mind. but you are not at fault she assures and you shouldn't feel any guilt. she failed to protect him and failed to see Cecil's true nature.
I'm connected to the internet when I played this game.
The same problem happened at the start of the game when ikemma is being 'killed' but i opened up the file and clicked on mac os and then clicked on the terminal version of the game. And it was fine until those moments.
Thank you for the details, that was super helpful! I made a fix and uploaded a new build; the issue with Emrys's scene is fixed and I think the one with the epilogue is as well (less sure on that one though). Let me know if that fixed it for you whenever you get a chance to try it out!
Congratulation for finish the game! :D
One small question though: will you be realising a guide to all the different epilogues and CGs, please?
I'll include a full guide/walkthrough in the extra stories+art booklet I'm working on!
Oh, nice! :D
That’s amazing news! I’m super excited to play. :D
Thank you, I hope you'll enjoy it!
