Happy Holidays and all the best wishes!

We haven't been idle these past few months: the text for most of the routes is now almost complete, and one of them (the one where nothing happens in various variations, if you know what we mean😉) is currently undergoing final editing. For now, we won't make bold statements regarding the completion time, as this route alone will feature over 20,000 new words, and the translation could take a considerable amount of time.

However, here's what we can confirm:

  • In the aforementioned route alone, there will be at least 3 distinct true endings where the narrative reaches a complete conclusion, rather than being interrupted by any circumstances.

  • The game will feature several "common" endings obtainable in any chapter, alongside endings unique to each specific chapter.

  • Even the shortest version of the events in the Destitute Chapter will comprise approximately 40,000 words. This translates to roughly 4-5 hours of reading (5-6 with the Prologue), assuming focused reading without distractions from the in-game encyclopedia or other explanations.

  • Given that the events across the various routes of the Destitute Chapter differ drastically, and we also plan to implement minor additions or changes to existing events, the final duration of the entire chapter might even surpass the initially anticipated 30 hours.

Overall, work is progressing well, so we can only advise you to be patient and subscribe to our social media to stay updated on development news.

The Steam Winter Sale kicks off on December 18th, and in celebration, we're offering a special holiday deal: a 30% discount on all our products until January 5th!

As we said before, editing the English translation and translating the text into other supported languages takes a lot of time at this stage of development, and as a result there can be too much time between big updates. Previously we were aiming to update the game at least every six months, but under current circum…
