It's been over a year since Act 2 began, and now the end encroaches upon us. In the last scene, the passengers suffered perhaps their greatest loss yet.

Packed full of development and massive payoff!! Seriously we're proud of this one Act 2 Interlude 3: Chocolate, Mildew, Spiders Two core story paths (things will make sense without them still, but they provide answers to many questions thus far) One more fluffy backstory path which finally closes the book on Guardian & Mimi Secret Thing Invisible progress on a special side story for much later, code name "Catherine" Splash Screen Without being too egoistic about it, we finally decided to name drop Francis, Vaartis, and Veki (me) at the start of the game Humbly we want to introduce ourselves to new players with a satisfying, SWIFT animation!!

It's 10 USD and you get all current and future tracks in high quality. Some tracks don't have high quality versions, so they're included as a link in the description, for free. Featuring music from the extremely talented Taycat, Leonovsky7, Veki and Johnie Perreault.. And covert art from the loveliest Suki! The proceeds are split between the artists, so if you want to support their incredible work additionally, this is a good way to do so. BANDCAMP

Welcome to Love Exalt 8372, update 0.5.0: the end of act one. We went completely bananas for this update!!

Is there really a killer hiding among them? If there is… who killed ?! And WHY? Please take good comfort and enjoyment in this luxurious swath of free content!!

- 0.2.0 Dev Thoughts - 25 May 2023
Hey. We just dropped the first major content update for Love Exalt 8372! With TWO new beefy scenes, a new minigame, scene selection menu, script import system, and emotional effects, we blew past our original estimate of 1-2 months and went 3 months deep on this one. We think it was definitely for the best to spend a little extra time on the update that takes the game out of demo status and into "totally real game" status. Here's a bunch of dev thoughts on what we changed and added!! GOLF From the start we knew we wanted a new minigame, and, with the complexity and time-to-beat of the other minigames in mind, we settled on minigolf. We considered making it 3D, but two things held us back: 1. We don't have a 3D modeller, and learning to 3D model is hard... 2. Godot's 3D is a bit subpar in the browser, and we wanted to add the new minigame to the HTML5 demo, too! We have played around wit…
- First major update and release on Steam - 17 May 2023

If you haven't seen it on the store page, here it is: We hope you enjoy the new chapters and will continue working on the rest of the story in the meantime.
- Character art update - 27 February 2023
Hey. We've just released an update with the rest of the character art added for Null, Star, and Mom. Now there's no more placeholder character art! We plan on adding different expressions for characters in the future, as for now, we're working on the game's second scene and new minigames. Thanks everyone for playing the game!
