We've realized that while we've been giving updates on our tumblr and twitter, we've almost entirely neglected our itch.io followers! This update is for all of you that do not follow us on social media!

Big Demo Patch Coming:

On September 24th, we announced that we are working on bringing out one final large patch that will better reflect the rest of the game. The patch will include the following:

12 new CGs
Re-shading on all the pre-existing CGs
Completed gui (choice selection buttons and the extras page.)
2 new scenes per route including a bonus scene and the first bad end
transition screens for better game flow
new zoom sprites for all the love interests
Longer prologue dialogue between Alice and her sisters
New dialogue options for all the love interests
More text cleanup

A current look at we have already completed:

Character Selection screen for the routes

Light Clean-up of some of the pre-existing dialogue

Current progress on the patch is as follows:

We will be working on finishing the content for the patch before working on content for the rest of the full-game (although, the whole game is already planned out, do not worry). This will allow us a long enough span of time between the demo release and the full game release.

Side note: if you haven't played/finished the current version of the demo, we recommend waiting until the release of the patch since there will be a lot of differences between the two. If you have already played the current version of the demo, we highly recommend playing this version when it comes out since the content of the demo has been heavily modified at this point.

Thank you for your time and we will try our best to keep you updated on itch.io! If you want to see more frequent updates, please follow us on our twitter/tumblr. If you have any questions feel free to leave them in the comments below.
