Hello everyone,
We owe you an update and an honest apology. We originally targeted a January release for Episode 2 and we missed it. Let's talk about where things stand and when you can expect to play it.
We hit a snag over the past few weeks due to some health issues on the team, which slowed us down more than we'd like to admit. We're getting back to full speed now and wanted to be upfront about that rather than go silent.
All renders are complete. We're currently re-rendering a key nighttime scene with improved camera angles and exposure — we weren't happy with how it looked and decided to redo it properly rather than ship something below our standards. We're also adding a few transition scenes to improve pacing in a pivotal sequence, and the script for one of the final scenes wraps tomorrow. After that, the last two scenes go through our AI polish pass — roughly 3 days of work.
On the coding side, all of Day 5 and most of Day 6 are fully implemented and playable.

Three things: QA, translations, and animations.
This release is very important to us from a quality perspective. Episode 2 is significantly larger and more complex than Episode 1 — more branching paths, more scene variations, and a new corruption-level choice system that goes well beyond the binary Good Wife vs. Veil Path structure of EP1. We need to make sure every path plays correctly, every transition feels right, and every animation fires when it should. Rushing QA on something this ambitious would be a disservice to you.
We are targeting a February release.
We don't want to spoil anything, but Episode 2 puts story front and center. Expect big reveals around characters you thought you understood, moments that recontextualize choices from Episode 1, and a much deeper sense that Sofia's decisions actually matter — with escalating consequences depending on how far you're willing to go. The corruption system now offers a real spectrum, not just two locked paths.
We know the wait has been longer than any of us wanted, and we appreciate your patience more than you know. We'd rather deliver something we're proud of than rush it out the door.
Thank you for sticking with us.
