Game Version Changelog:

Ch.1
Initial Release
Chapter 1: Sunrise, which contains over 1400 renders, primarily focuses on establishing the setting for the story, as well as introducing a majority of the main characters and potential love interests.

Developer Notes:

The game features 8 main love interests, who will have complete branching stories and endings depending on the choices made throughout the chapters. There are also many minor characters whose relationships and stories can also be influenced by the choices made.

The complete game will contain 11 chapters. Chapter 2 is currently in development.

NB: The game is currently free to download, and will be throughout development. While donations are appreciated and will go solely to the continued development of the game, they are certainly not necessary. This is a passion project that will be finished regardless of financial support. It is worth noting, however, that, as a result of this, development times will fluctuate, and I am unable to commit to or promise any consistent release schedule at this time.

I have tested the release as much as reasonably possible for bugs/errors etc. but almost inevitably something will have slipped through the cracks. If you do encounter a bug/error, let me know in the comments and I’ll do my best to rectify.

Similarly, if you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments and if I have an answer, I’ll provide.

Most importantly, I hope you enjoy the game!
