Episode Five Progress Update (January 2026)

Hello Steam, In December I told you that all that was left for Episode Five was the animations and that barring some disaster I thought I'd be able to release in February.

Hello Steam,

What changed

addedI have stayed busy with development of other aspects of the game and January was one of my most productive months ever as I wrote several new scenes and created 741 new renders for Episode Six through Eight. A reminder that Episodes Six through Eight will be shorter than the preceding episodes and won't be released until they are all finished. So I am currently working on the game's final update.

In December I told you that all that was left for Episode Five was the animations and that barring some disaster I thought I'd be able to release in February. Unfortunately, we are at that disaster level as there was almost no progress made on the animations during January. I am disappointed to have to report this. I am hopeful we'll be able to get the animations going again soon, but it's not realistic to expect Episode Five in February.
