So I broke things off with Chase after Red’s confession, thinking it would be nbd. Chase’s reaction destroyed me. “You're still sunshine to me. And I'm always going to be your friend." 😭😭😭 Why do I get the feeling that he will never recover from this Lena
The crazy thing is that Chase's reaction is different depending on how many romance flags you have with him, so you can experience the devastation in a few different ways! 🤪

ESTIMATED WORDCOUNT: 1,471,000 WORDS WITHOUT CODE
11,000 words of new content
Third activity for Red's festival route (now officially complete)
Chapter 11 continues! Spoiler alert: it's not as fun as Red's stuff.
WHAT’S NEXT:
I'm going to try to power through a good glut of Chapter 11 and see if we can really set off this rollercoaster with a bang!
(I'm both because I'm scared.)
It's a pretty straightforward update, but I hope you enjoy!!! As always, please feel free to leave your thoughts on Patreon, our Discord, or right here on Tumblr! ❤️

The Shepherds of Haven alpha preview has been updated here!
ESTIMATED WORDCOUNT: 1,460,000 WORDS WITHOUT CODE
27,000 words of new content
Red festival route and confession
Red festival souvenir added to room decor
Do you like sweetness and fluff and nerding out? Do you like bizarre Mage hijinks and furious theoretical debates? Then this update is for YOU!
Red is really in fine form this update. His Howliest, I'd say.
WHAT’S NEXT:
Back to the horrid things going on in Chapter 11, is my guess! But first--I'm going out of town on my honeymoon, so I will not be able to answer messages or resolve bugs until I'm back!
I hope you all enjoy!!! 🎆🎇 As always, please feel free to leave your thoughts on Patreon, our Discord, or right here on Tumblr! ❤️
SHEPHERDS OF HAVEN ALPHA PREVIEW UPDATE [03/28/26]
MC in the [REDACTED] knowing shit is about to go down
The Shepherds of Haven alpha preview has been updated here!
ESTIMATED WORDCOUNT: 1,433,000 WORDS WITHOUT CODE
6,000 words of new content
Chapter 11 begins
The first conditional companion joins the crew! (They've been added to the Relationships screen and Character Guide too, which I think is so novel... it's been a while!)
MC is not in a great spot...
...or are they? 👀 It really depends on your choices!
WHAT’S NEXT:
I (finally) got married a few weeks ago! 🥳 As such, this month was ridiculously busy, but next month's update should be a bit earlier as well as more substantial, since I foresee everything settling down now! I'm willing to bet that the next update will be a character interlude or festival route, though maybe not--sorry for any cliffhangers until then! 🙇🏻♀️
I hope you enjoy!! 🐛
SHEPHERDS OF HAVEN ALPHA PREVIEW UPDATE [11/26/25]
The Shepherds of Haven alpha preview has been updated here!

WHAT’S NEW:
13,000 words of new content
The beginning of Chapter 10 (technically, Chapter 11 in the final game, but I'm still calling it Chapter 10 in my head)
This update officially kicks off the next major arc of the story! I can't say much without giving things away, but if you've been starting to pick up a certain vibe... let's just say... things are happening.
As always, please be sure to check the developer notes on Patreon for important details about this update, especially regarding route availability and chronology changes. The Incomplete Routes Guide is also your best friend if you hit any confusing spots in the alpha build!
I hope you enjoy!
WHAT’S NEXT:
Either more of Chapter 10, or another festival route for one of the remaining characters! I feel like either way is going to leave you in suspense 😅🤣 Holiday season is incoming, so we’ll see what I manage before the year wraps up—but I’m excited for everything coming down the pipeline!
As always, feel free to leave a comment here, send in an ask, or drop a comment on our Discord! And Happy Thanksgiving to all who are celebrating this week!! I'm eternally, endlessly grateful to you all and so thankful for this community and your support. Your enthusiasm means the world to me, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate you all! 🦃🤎 Thank you, and I hope you enjoy!
SHEPHERDS OF HAVEN ALPHA PREVIEW UPDATE [02/26/26]
death...
The Shepherds of Haven alpha preview has been updated here!
ESTIMATED WORDCOUNT: 1,427,000 WORDS WITHOUT CODE
7,000 words of new content
All routes of Chapter 10 completed
Pain (aka character death--depending on your choices!)
Croelle character card added to the Character Guide (in certain routes)
A buttload of silent coding 🥹 (aka your previous choices really start to catch up to you, even if you haven't seen the consequences yet...)
This is the first time that major characters and companions can die... I hope you don't have to experience that!
WHAT’S NEXT:
As I mentioned last time (and have been mentioning with increasing frequency, as planning starts to overtake my life), I get married in two weeks! Many of you will probably scold me, but I will still do my best to update by the end of the month 😔 I would like to do a festival interlude next, but since they tend to be really massive (usually 20,000+ words) with no good stopping point/way to leave it unfinished halfway, time may not allow this (because of the whole marriage thing, haha) so if that happens, I'll keep plowing through with the start of Chapter 11! Either way, it should be very interesting...
I hope you enjoy (?)!
the funniest thing brightburner can do it use up their words of power AFTER the faceless lords have been defeated. and theyre using it to like. make a sovereign territory, and heal trees, and save the eternal souls of SOME GUY. awesome. i know the Voices are watching and thinking 'what the fuck..'
LMAOOO this made me burst out laughing 🤣🤣 It's so true!
The Voices watching MC use the Words of Power for everything except their intended purpose:

vibes for this chapter

ESTIMATED WORDCOUNT: 1,420,000 WORDS WITHOUT CODE
20,000 words of new content
The conclusion of Chapter 10 (for certain routes)
Croelle.........
New music added throughout Chapter 10
New newspaper section added for Chapter 10
Minor bugs and typos throughout the game addressed (both public demo and alpha build)
GRHGHHhHHHH Croelle. I am so interested to see if the number of voters for his potential future romance will rise or fall after this update, lol!
WHAT’S NEXT:
I'm not sure yet--February is looking crazy (because I'm getting married in a few weeks! 😱) but I'm guessing I'll finish up the routes of Chapter 10 that I wasn't able to complete this month, so we can have a fresh start to Chapter 11 as we move forward! (Though, of course, we have actually skipped an earlier section of Chapter 10 that I'm waiting to do once all of the character interludes are caught up!)
As always, feel free to leave a comment here, send in an ask, or drop a comment on our Discord! I very much hope you enjoy!
