Hey folks! Thrilled to share that the penultimate alpha build for Episode 5, covering the entire beginning and middle of the chapter. (With the exception of the ability to visit the church, which we're hoping to have finished in time for release, but which is a lower priority than the climax of the episode.)
Depending on your choices, the middle section in particular can be quite long or quite short, so it's recommended that you play through with multiple save files and world states! We're leaning quite a bit into player agency and branching here, so while a single run through the game should still work great as a self-contained story, a lot of the details are explored through taking different paths.
On top of implementing many new scenes, we've also made a handful of changes to pre-existing scenes from earlier alphas, notably expanding on scenes involving both Tabitha and Stella to give the player both more agency on the Stella Romance path, as well as more roleplaying options when not romancing her.
