Hey everyone! It ended up taking a bit longer than I wanted it to, but we're almost there! Episode 4, titled 'Smile', will be playable on Saturday, October 19th . It will be available for free, through a patch, for anyone that owns Having a HARD Time on Steam. There are a few reasons why it took a bit longer, one of which being that my PC died not too long ago (not to worry, it's up and running…
