Major update

Wishlist Act III + Act IV!

Hello! Just a quick post today, to inform you that the Steam store page for Because We're Here Act III + Act IV is now live! You can find it here. Wishlists are very much appreciated!

(Yes, this is the second time I've made this blog post haha - I realised I should probably set it as 'Major Update'. There aren't going to be many announcements that are bigger! And it's unveiling a new playable instalment, so I think it qualifies.)

If you want to read a lengthier meditation, I wrote a general state-of-the-union blog post on Steam last November, which also covered how Acts III and IV are being combined into one release - go and check it out if you want to know more!

I also said in that post that this store page would be live 'hopefully next week' and here we are in May. Oh well, better late than never! Speaking of which - this nicely coincides with the Steam Otome Games Celebration organised by Crystal Game Works. (I would have liked to have come out with all this at the start of the festival, but I like to tweak things up until the last minute and I completely forgot that Steam then requires 3 to 5 days to check the store page before you can set it live hahaha.)

And also, Acts I and II are currently 40% off for the next few days as part of the Otome Games Celebration! Check out the sales - I've already picked up some cool-looking titles.

Anyway. I'm aiming for a late summer release for Acts III + IV, but I've just set it as '2026' until I have a specific date.

I'll also mention that Because We're Here has a mailing list! I’m about to send out the very first newsletter. Exciting times for the electronic mail community. (Sorry - I hear they're shortening it to 'elec-mail' now! What a world we live in.)

Right, I'll let you go. I hope you're looking forward to Act III and beyond!

Eike
