Chapter 8 Early-Release

Chapter 8 is out for Ko-fi supporters and Patreon supporters!

Following the National Doubles tournament, this update is more slice-of-life focused, and takes us to the week right before Finals.  And yes, the big mom reveal is here.

Release dates

Returning to Cargill after the National Doubles tournament (including spending the night with G or having breakfast with Rayyan if you’ve unlocked those scenes) 

Freshman hang-out session with Max and Blake

Spending time with G preparing for the photography exhibition

Meet your mother 👀—not once but twice?? (If you so choose)

Thanksgiving break 🦃

Have dinner with Sam and his/her family (sleep over and possibly reveal that you’re together), play a friendly game with Sam at the neighborhood courts 🎾 where you’d grown to love the game, finally unlock the Samwise Gamgee nickname while playing a lord-of-the-rings board game with Sam and their sister 🧙‍♂️)

Call Rayyan, G, Tobin, or your mother over Thanksgiving, bond with your father

Face the consequences of your choices over thanksgiving break 🔥 (will you manage to submit all your papers in time? Will you get benched for the last match of the season…?) 

As always, starting a new play through will ensure variables are set properly.

Merry Crisis Ch 5 Early-release is live!

Chapter 5: The Crisis

At long last, the latest chapter is LIVE for ko-fi and patreon supporters! This is the one where things come to a head, and decisions have to be made... It also sets things up for the final chapter (before the extended epilogue).

Features: 

​Have one last day with Qiu, Shay, or Nat on Ubin, a little island a boat ride away from mainland Singapore.

Talk about what the future holds for the three of you, including remaining in New York or moving back to Singapore 

Commit to them, or break up, or ... leave things open? (No spoilers~)

End on a cliffhanger (I'm sorry)

I've also made some overall edits to the earlier chapters (as I had to streamline it and wrangle it into shape for possibly ending the game properly!!

I'm so sorry that it took a while. As always, I can't wait to hear what you guys think!

Public drop:

Chapter 5 will likely go public in about a week, definitely before Christmas. I've updated the earlier chapters on the public demo link, so that your saves will match up with the new chapter when it drops!*

*Do note that old saves will likely not work due to the edits made!

Please let me know if you encounter any issues, I will be polishing and fixing bugs over the next 2-3 days :)
