About New Year's Day(e)

New Year's Day(e) is a Ren'Py kinetic novel by Jonesy, presented with animated 3DCG visuals. It continues the story from Christmas Eve and follows a single father, his two stepdaughters Evelynne and Dayton, plus friends Becky and Kaylee. The plot centers on a family adjusting to new romantic feelings while processing grief over the father's late wife, Heather, as a harem and lesbian story told through a male protagonist.

The current release is Chapter 6 version 0.6.0, dated September 5, 2026, and development is finished. It runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac in English, with no censorship. The final update closes the story and warns that earlier saves will not work; it supplies a new save placed just before the revised final dream from Chapter 5.

Developer's description

New Year's Day(e) is the continuing story of a single father (MC) and his stepdaughters, Evelynne (Eve) and Dayton (Daye) and their friends Becky and Kaylee. This is the sequel to the story " Christmas Eve ". If you haven't read that, I encourage you to read it first, but it's not absolutely necessary in order to enjoy this story. This is a love story of acceptance, coming of age, and healing as the MC's family and friends continue to come to terms with their developing feelings for each other and their grief felt for the MC's late wife, Heather. ​

v0.6.0 It’s done. It’s over. The end. Fin. Ciao. Goodbye, New Year’s Day(e). For those who aren’t concerned with my sentimental ramblings, please know this before starting Chapter 6: YOUR CURRENT SAVES WILL NOT WORK!! I HAVE INCLUDED A SAVE FILE FOR YOU!!! The save will plop you down right before the final dream in chapter 5. It’s worth playing through because it has changed. v0.5.0 This chapter picks up exactly where chapter 4 left off. It will address the issues with Mercedes and Portia. It will also answer some questions you might have about the MC's background and his relationship with his late wife. As I've said before, this chapter is a little shorter than normal. While it has a decent amount of content, it mostly serves as a setup for the final chapter. v0.4.1 We finally get to see what happened after that really rough ending of chapter 3. I'm sure Daye, Eve, Randall and the rest of gang can figure something out. Anyway, I hope you have fun. I hope you enjoy it. Let me know how you liked it! Sorry for the big file size. Just know that it's packed with lots of good stuff. Also, guess who learned how to port their games to Android? That's right! Now, did I do a good job compressing the images? That's up for debate. By the way, did you notice any tags missing from this game's description? That's right. No more "Kinetic Novel" for me. There's choices to make...starting in chapter 2. As always, thank you for your continued interest in my stories. v0.3.2 Bug Fix v0.3.1 Long story short, There are no story changes, just a bunch of spelling and grammar corrections and an added skip feature for the end of chapter 3. v0.3.0 This is chapter 3. It has taken a little longer than usual for me to get this out, but I have been having a rough time this year. Luckily, I have creative outlets like this one to help channel negative energy into. Enough about my boring life. What about this chapter?! In this chapter, we will see the resolution of the problems between Kaylee and her mom. We will meet Becky's little sister Olivia and uncover some as of yet unknown things about the MC's past. I've tried to include a few foreshadowing clues here and there, some are more subtle than others, so keep an eye out. We will also see how the big New Year's party is shaping up and there are some really great things that happen with our titular characters. While I touted earlier that this chapter is not nearly as dark as chapter 2, I will say that for the majority if the time this is true, but watch out for the ending of this one, it's a doozy. v0.2.4 I have received a lot of feedback about NYD chapter 2 over the past couple of weeks. Some was good, some was not so good. All of it is greatly appreciated, so thanks! It's because of this feedback that some errors were brought to my attention. It seems that I failed at conveying certain ideas, and in doing so, kinda screwed up the whole tone/feel of the story. I Have gone back and rewritten several parts of the story. While the overarching story line hasn't really changed, the MC's character arch is much more clear. I think that this update is a much more comprehensive version of the story I originally set out to tell in chapter 2. I think it stays more true to the original tone of Christmas Eve and NYD Chapter 1. Sorry for not getting it right the first time around, but, hey, that's what the phrase "in development" means, right? v0.2.3 Chapter 2 v0.1.0 Almost 1000 renders, and almost the same amount of code as the entirety of Christmas Eve, this chapter is big!

I see many 1 star reviews about long winded conversations, stale characters and boring sex scenes, which sure it's not great especially compared to Christmas Eve, but it's not nearly bad enough to garner 1 star unlike some VNs out…

This game, story actually since there is no real choices, suffers imo from trying to do to much all at once and succeeding in almost nothing while trying to. Like if you're trying to cook with ALL of the ingredients…

I decided to play it because it's a sequel to Christmas Eve, which was more or less okay. The girls seem cute (they look younger than they are, sometimes significantly). But suddenly everything here is much slower than in Christmas…
