• Load Issues - 7 January 2026

  If you experience any problems loading your game, please contact me at [email protected] subset of players is experiencing issues loading their game (I'd guess maybe 1 in 30 players). This can look like the main menu "Load Game" button being grayed out suddenly mid way through a play through, save files triggering a black screen on open, or strange issues when the game loads in. After trying desperately to figure out what's going on and screaming into a pillow many times, I've come to the conclusion that I don't think I'll be able to fix this issue entirely. Basically, since the game was started 10 years ago, an older unreliable and outdated save format was used in the Plugin I used to build the game. Since the load issues are somewhat uncommon, the beta testers and I never had them appear, and I first had reports of them after the game was launched. In theory, I could change t…

• Patch v1.12.5 - 25 November 2025

  The biggest issues that need to be resolved (besides anything related to saving and loading) are the scenes loading stuck without a cursor - Stacy's room after pizza and leaving Evelyn's house towards the end of the game - and getting softlocked after finding Jane's bag.

  Patch list: - Added a Discord button to the help menu, as well as a few other small changes - Likely fix for cursor and UI elements not appearing upon entering Stacy's room after giving her pizza - Root cause of save and load issues still unknown, but the game now saves new files progressively to keep players from losing all their data if there's a glitch.
