It's finally here! We're so glad to present to you our book cover ✨

More than 3 years (!) in the making with all the reworks it went through, but we're so happy to finally share it with you all! 🎨 Done with Clip Studio Paint, part drawing and part collage. To continue with the previous Choices official book covers, we chose to represent hispanic F!MC, hispanic F!Atlas and F!Saffron. We really hope you'll like it as much as we do 🩵 Feel free to share and comment ✨

A little May update 🌼☀️

Hello there, Testing is ongoing, and the beta-testers team have been super helpful and a pure joy to have around! Chapter 04 is officially done, and Chapter 05 is well on course. There's still plenty to do, but we're almost on schedule. We might end up pushing past our initial goal of releasing the first batch of chapters in May with a June launch, but honestly, that might be for the best. We should be able to share a release schedule with you very soon!

Once again, we're endlessly grateful for your continued support: more than 900 of you have downloaded the demo, that's just unbelievable! The next survey goes up Friday. Thank you so much for all your replies on the outfit one 🩵

See you soon ✨

I played the pixel berry version of the third book on VIP and I want to reaffirm to your guys that you should definitely continue making this fan version. I’m a long time fan and pretty easy to please but the canon book 3 was genuinely garbage. Everyone was completely out of character (even somehow MC?), the pen pals were caricatures of themselves, and the story was so thoughtless. I didn’t even finish the last chapter because I was so disappointed. But I kept thinking how exciting it was that this one exists too. I know it’s being made with care and love for the story and characters. Excited for more! Thank you for continuing <3

Thank you so much for your message and your support! 💙

We're really sorry to hear that so many of you had a disappointing experience with the official book... we won't lie, it does add a little pressure on our end 👀

One thing's for sure, we're giving it everything we've got, and we really hope it'll give you everything you were expecting from a final TE book. We can't thank you enough for all the likes, reposts, comments and messages we've been receiving. It's been truly heartwarming and means more than you know!

is "i wholly refused to accept the enforced monogamy and headcanoned that my MC was still romancing his other official partner off-screen" an answer? because my MC didn't have a main partner at all, he just had one partner that the story acknowledged and one partner that it refused to acknowledge. but they were equally significant.

Hello there 👋

Good news: you can romance as many LI as you want, however you like, with no restrictions at all! The only thing to keep in mind is that the other characters won't acknowledge that you're dating multiple people at once (there's no in-game recognition of polyamory).

Here's how the romance system works: each LI has a romance score. Romantic interactions (like little gestures or extra dialogue) unlock once someone reaches 5 points. When you pick a "main LI" in Chapter 01, they automatically start with 5 points, so their romantic interactions begin right away. For any other LIs you want to romance, you'll need to build their score by choosing the heart ♥ options during the story.

Example: If you're romancing both Beckett and Shreya and they've both reached 5 points, they'll both show romantic behavior toward you.

If you want to start fresh, don't choose anyone in Chapter 01, and simply pick the romance options in the following chapters: everyone starts from zero that way!

One last thing: some scenes will ask you to focus on one person at a time. If you'd like to experience that moment with someone else, you're always welcome to replay that part 🩵✨

how does beta testing work?

For everyone who's been wondering what beta testing involves, the wait is over: we're officially opening recruitment for beta testers!

What's expected of a beta tester?

You'll get early access to our pre-release chapters. Your role will be to identify bugs and typos, and provide feedback on your experience while playing a specific route. 👉 This requires discretion (you'll not be able to share publicly about what you read) and attention to detail. We'll do our best to assign you your favorite LI, but you might need to play in a way that's different from your natural choices (moral compass, good/bad decisions, etc...).

How can I volunteer?

You must be 18+ and have either a computer (PC, Linux, or Mac) or an Android phone/tablet. Location doesn't matter, but your English needs to be pretty solid (native speakers are ideal). You should also be able to provide feedback promptly after receiving a test file. Each chapter takes about 45 minutes to complete, and since typo-checking is involved, you'll need to read carefully.

📝 If you meet these criteria, fill out the form [by clicking here] and we'll contact you if you're selected.

When will beta testing start?

We're expecting to set everything up in May.

Will I get paid?

Unfortunately, we can't offer payment as we're all volunteers on this project.

Will I be able to help with the story or give my opinion?

Your suggestions are always welcome and will be carefully considered, though please keep in mind that final creative decisions rest with our team.

And if I have any other question?

Don't hesitate to comment this post or drop an ask!

Hey! Hope you're doing okay☺️

In relation to the question you answered about MC having nightmares, will you also be focusing in on Atlas's trauma at all?

They went through so much and it felt so glossed over in the books!!

Hey 👋

Honestly, we feel the same way about pretty much every character in TE, MC included... We're genuinely trying not to repeat those mistakes.

Atlas is going to face some mental challenges, and all the trauma they've been carrying (losing their caretakers, years alone on the run, being trapped in the mirror dimension, constantly having to be the strong one alongside MC...), none of that is going to just disappear.

The big difference we're trying to make is that MC and Atlas will actually try to work through things together, as siblings. Don't fret, there'll still be plenty of banter (that's just who they are 👀).

What we really want is to give their relationship the depth we felt was missing in the previous books, and that has been apparently bothering you with the official book 3 as well. More than that, we want Atlas to feel like their own person, with their own life, their own struggles, their own story... not just an extension of MC's journey.

Thank you for your applications for the beta testing! We'll get back to you shortly to discuss next steps ✨

We've been very busy lately but good news, Chapter 04 is nearly finished (we're still glossing over a few details)! We're also still working on optimising the UI and animations (massive thanks to the @itlivesproject for their help on that), we'll give you some preview soon 🩵
