Chapter 14 Released
Hey everyone,
Chapter 14 is finally ready to be released — and I’m both excited and a bit worn out to share it with you.
This chapter has grown into one of the most dramatic and branching ones so far. I pushed hard on the family dynamics, the tough choices, and the moments where paths truly split. Philipp’s story especially takes some bold turns, and the MC is faced with decisions that could reshape everything.
What felt “settled” before might suddenly shift, and storylines that seemed clear now have new tension woven into them. It’s been a challenge to balance, but I think you’ll feel the payoff when you play.
General
- Chapter 14 has 703 new renders, 11 new Scenes
- Chapter 14 continues the drama and choices that have defined the story so far.
- New branching paths shape the future of each family member — decisions matter more than ever.
- Includes new renders, expanded conversations, and reworked story flow to reduce inconsistencies from earlier playthroughs.
