Episode 3 Update 2

This update was initially planned to be released as a patch. However, since we decided to fully close Episode 2 and add the final scene, it can now be called a Mini-Update. We hope that this version will add stability to the game, allowing us to focus more on content creation.

• A daytime mini-scene added in Episode 3. Use your saves to access it (don’t forget to sleep beforehand).
• Graphics of the upstairs corridor have been improved.
• Numerous minor bugs have been fixed.

Episode 1:
Artificial pauses in dialogues have been removed across all 13 scenes.
Skipping cutscenes has been significantly sped up for actions such as blinking and more.
Visualization of the house improved.
Added the ability to skip dialogues in the interactive event with the wife in the kitchen.
Difficulty of the mini-game with the younger daughter significantly reduced.
Hints added to some scenes.

Other:
All detected visual errors and incompatibilities have been resolved across all three episodes.
A missing choice option has been added after the massage scene during the festive dinner. (You can access it using the “Deja Vu” feature.)
The “Deja Vu” feature now fully covers Episode 2.
A daytime mini-scene added in Episode 3. Use your saves to access it (don’t forget to sleep beforehand).
Graphics of the upstairs corridor have been improved.
Numerous minor bugs have been fixed.

Episode 2 Beta 0.40

A fancy holiday food, a warm family atmosphere. The first snowfall in years, like a cherry on the cake, was supposed to be the perfect ending to your birthday party. It would seem that nothing and no one could spoil the evening. But it wasn’t…

Like a thunder from a clear sky, an unexpected guest interrupted the family idyll and put you in a stupor with his appearance.

What happens next? The first impression of a menacing-looking guest will be deceptive, and he will become a companion in overcoming your most difficult period of life? Or, maybe your inner alarm is working right, and there is something not good behind this person?

Choose your line of conduct in this story and find out…

The new “deja vu” feature allows you not to waste time, and to flip through the first episode by selecting your decisions. (It can be activated at the beginning of the game by looking at the picture and then walking up to the mirror).

Episode 1 1.01
Fixed critical game slowness and added important features:
– Optimized dialogs. All dialogs in the game are optimized, pauses between messages are reduced by 70-90%.
– Cut scenes. All cut scenes in the game are speeded up.
– Mouse. Now you can skip dialogs with the left mouse button (the right mouse button will open the game menu)
– Hints. Added indicators of movement between rooms.
– Choices. Added a one-second pause before choosing to prevent accidental clicking. (When the player quickly presses message skip.)
– Saves. Now you can save the game at any point in the game, also added a slot autosave.
– Acceleration. The Shift button will now speed up the wheelchair.
– Added a viewing angle in events. Sometimes you will notice an eye icon in events, clicking on it will open the view from this point.
– Removed the bug with the front door when opening which broke the game.
– Minor bug fixes.
Unfortunately, too many changes have been made to the game, so the old save will not work in most cases.
