(Fun Fling+ members) Episode 3: Painful Memories - The spring carnival provided a glimmer of light, and possibly hope, on the fractured relationship with your sister. But no matter how far you've traveled, the scars from old wounds never truly fade. And when your friend begins digging into those resurfaced memories, you may discover just how connected you all are. Here is Part 1 of Episode 3 , which has been broken into two halves. Don't worry- while there may be some unresolved story, Part 1 is a sizeable update and not meant to leave you on a large cliffhanger. Here's what else you can expect: 26k+ words, 780+ images (so far...) Revamped Introduction Scene (shown in the Ep2 [v1.1] Update) New game options: dialogue character icons, choice assistant, and hidden game choices (shown in the Ep2 [v1.1] Update) Improved visuals both in the UI and in-game renders Fun Fling+ members get additional Bonus Content which includes extended scenes featuring: Emily, Kayla and Jess Thank you to all TaH supporters, both long-term and new! You're the reason why this game continues and why I strive for ways to improve it. Reaching a larger audience helps make this easier on me, so please don't be shy spreading what you like about TaH and making it more visible in the gaming community. It always brings me a smile when I see this game discussed and recommended. Enjoy Ep.2 v1.1 Full+Bonus 1) This does not add any additional content from [v1.0]. There were some minor dialogue fixes and new UI features added. 2) The game has been rebuilt in a newer version of Ren'py to address some video playback issues. As far as I could tell, it did not affect saved games. 3) If you've already played [v1.0] and you're not interested in replaying/testing the game with new features before the Ep3 release, then you can skip this update. Notable New Features: New startup Introduction with Mark & Kayla. Character Icons: (optional) During text dialogue you'll see a small icon of the person speaking. Choice Assistant: (optional) Hints for most choices on how they affect the story going forward. Game + Bonus Content Episode 2 v1.0 Full The complete episode (45k words, 1200 images and music & sound effects). Episode 2 v0.26 Here's the EP2[v0.26] release, which includes all of Ep1 and the first half of Ep2 in one zip. The entire Ep2 will be approximately 50% larger than Ep1. The first episode was mostly for creating the groundwork that the rest of the series will build on. How the story, character development, and relationship building take place in Ep2 will be much closer to what you can expect in future releases, and has a different feel than the unlucky chain of events that took place to start out the series. Episode 1 v1.0 This update finalizes the episode with 30k words, 900 images, game audio, some new content, and updated images & dialogue. For those that have played a previous version (the last one being v0.36), you will notice a lot of improvements to where it may almost feel like a new game. So what's next? Work on Episode 2 is already underway and I'm targeting a Spring 2023 release. v0.20a Initial Release Contains roughly the first half of Episode 1 for free, the same content as the web browser version. Give it a try before any commitment!
