Season 1 – Chapter 5
The update heavily focuses on Eva, featuring three scenes with her, including one 18+ scene. The plot of the fifth chapter revolves mainly around her. There’s also plenty of content with Kate, including an 18+ scene. Luna will make a brief appearance. You’ll also encounter Melinda, Christopher, and a new character, Olivia, who you might have seen in earlier renders. Olivia will also have an erotic scene.
The chapter will end with a cliffhanger as usual, and your previous actions will significantly influence what happens next.
Hope you enjoy it!

*I’ve encountered some problems with loading saves from Chapter Four. It ends as if Chapter Five doesn’t exist. Saves from other chapters work fine. I tried to figure out the cause, but it’s still unclear. It seems Ren’Py remembers not only the line where you saved but also the place the code returns to after completing the chapter, which is the final screen, and it ignores the new chapter as if it doesn’t exist in the code. Unfortunately, I couldn’t have predicted this strange behavior, especially since everything worked fine before.
I’ve already found a new way to write the code to avoid such issues in the future.
For now, if you experience this problem, I can only suggest using older saves from Chapter Three or earlier, which should work without any issues.
Chapter 4
This chapter features four fairly lengthy scenes, two of which are rated 18+ (featuring Luna and Camila). In a single playthrough, you’ll only be able to experience three of these scenes. Your choices will lead you to either complete (or fail) Melinda’s task or date with Camila. Initially, I planned to end the fourth chapter on a major cliffhanger with Eva, but I’ve decided to stick to a strict schedule of updating every two months. This chapter ended up being animation-heavy, and I barely had enough time to render them all by this week. So, Eva will be waiting for you in the next chapter by the end of May.
I also wanted to release a separate update from Chapter 3 to Chapter 4 this time, but at the last minute, I cleaned up the file structure, so that update won’t be possible. I’ll try to make a separate update for the PC version next time since the game’s file size is becoming quite significant, especially for the 2K version.
One of the animations with Luna turned out a bit blurry due to a camera focus issue. I’ve started rendering a corrected version, but it’ll take about five days, so I won’t wait for it. It’s not too bad, and I’ll include the fixed version in the next update.
Chp.3
Chapter 3 is now fully completed. The current update contains 11,000 words, 252 renders, and 10 animations.
In addition to the storyline continuation, the following features have been added to the game:
– An intro at the start of the game. (I highly recommend watching it. Just start a new game and then you can load your old save.)
– Sounds in 18+ scenes. (I spent a lot of time selecting the right music volume so it wouldn’t drown out the sounds, but I’d love to hear your opinion. Maybe the volume needs adjusting.)
– The main menu has been changed, with a separate animation added.
– Some old renders have been edited in Photoshop to improve color reproduction.
– The UI has been optimized, eliminating pauses between transitions in the game menu.
Chp.3 Part 1
This is the first part of the third chapter. It contains 4,000 words, 120 renders, and four animations.
All scenes are with Eva and one of them 18+ (Eva solo).
In addition, the lighting in the dream scene with Eva at the beginning has been completely redone, and a large amount of scenes from previous chapters have been edited in Photoshop. Mostly, color correction was done (I noticed that some scenes had a green tint, which was not noticeable, but after correction, the render became much better).
Also, this update is released on a new version of Ren’py. This is due to the video playback issues I encountered with the previous version; the video was lagging. In this new version, I’ve tested it, and everything is much better, but I still would not recommend downloading the 2k version on very old computers.
Unfortunately, due to the change in version, there may be issues with old saves. Everything loaded fine for me, but I can’t guarantee 100% compatibility. By issues, I mean it might not be possible to load them or errors may appear after loading. If the save starts without issues, you can continue playing, there should be no problems with the variables.
