June 11, 2026F95

Haunted by the battlefield and disillusioned with a life defined by orders and loss, a former soldier returns home to fulfil a solemn promise – to hand-deliver two letters from his fallen best friend: one to his grieving wife, the other to his distant sister.
But what begins as a simple act of closure quickly becomes a deeper mission when he discovers the widow is in trouble.
Driven by loyalty and guilt, he steps in to help…

Changelog:

v0.08

Added a Walkthrough Guide which gives you a brief overview of the consequences of some choices (WIP)
I’ve tried to word the overviews as spoiler-free as I can, but inevitably they will still reveal certain events, so I’ve separated it from the current walkthrough.
You’ll need to activate the current walkthrough first, and then choose to enable the full guide. (Default is off)
Added a built-in Editor for anyone who wishes to track/edit character and game variables. (Opened from the in-game quick menu)
It’s what I use to make quick changes during test playthroughs. *Warning* – Use at your own risk!
Fixed a bug that caused unlocked replays to get locked when using the unlocker.
Added options to the Gallery Unlocker – You can now soft or hard unlock clips. You also have the option to reset all clips to their original locked state.
Added brief descriptions of the characters to the Replay Gallery. (A few descriptions have not yet been added)

Replay Gallery Scenes: +6

*NOTE*
Rollback will be frozen to where you loaded your old savefile.

I had to make some changes to the code/variables, which will update when you load an old save. Immediately rolling back this save would undo the changes and break your game, so it’s frozen to prevent this.

Rollback still works as you continue, but you can’t go beyond the point where you first loaded your old save.

If you want to roll back an old save, use a previous version and save it at the point where you want to continue.

v0.07

Modified the replay gallery slightly. Separated the Millie/Violet scenes into their own slots.

Added a built-in gallery unlocker that you can toggle on/off.

When unlocked, all replays can be watched. When locked, it will re-lock only those that you have not yet unlocked in-game (watching from replay will not change its game state).

v0.06

Added the ability to modify the auto-advance I sometimes use in this VN (see Preferences menu).

You can now disable it completely or have an icon appear in the bottom corner when the VN is auto-advancing (the icon can be resized and its transparency adjusted).

This feature only works for the new content in this update. I haven’t implemented it for the older content yet, as it’s still in testing and could change.

v0.05

Added the option to change the colors of the cell phone backgrounds and text. When the cell phone is on-screen, click the gear icon at the bottom left corner.

Made some changes to the Interactive Focus element. Icons have changed to make them easier to spot.

Also included the option to deactivate it. (Gives you regular menu choices instead)

v0.04

Customised the Preferences menu.

Added the option to enable/disable lesbian content in group scenes.

Added pregnancy to the Optional Fetishes menu. (Doesn’t affect the game in any way for now. Added it for later)

Updated the replay gallery GUI a little.

Added an Image Gallery (in-game only). During the game, some characters may send you a picture or two, and they’ll be added to your gallery.

You can open the gallery at any time from the QuickMenu at the bottom of the screen.

*NOTE: Some characters may offer to send you more photos occasionally. Your answer will not affect that character’s relationship status in any way.

If you don’t want these bonus images, it’s safe to say no, and it won’t affect the characters’ storyline.

v0.03

Added a slider bar in preferences, which enables players to adjust the opacity of the interactive-focus icons.

Added GroupSex to the Optional Fetishes menu (Default is on. When off, you no longer need to manually avoid it in-game)

*NOTE: When GroupSex is Enabled, group sex won’t be forced in every situation; it’ll still be your choice.

Updated edits to story/dialogue from previous version(s):

Sarah Route [Conversation with Dawn]

If GroupSex is disabled, there is no longer a discussion about what happened between Sarah and Dawn at college.

Minor dialogue change –

When Alex asks if you’re into girls with tattoos, the optional answer has been changed from ‘Sexy as hell’ to “Depends on the girl’

v0.02

Added a built-in Walkthrough (Default is off)

Added the optional ability to name your Saves (Default is off)

Added the option to disable Character Portraits in Dialogue box (Default is off)

Added Incest to the Optional Fetishes menu (Default is on. When off, you no longer need to manually avoid it in-game)

Added a notification when a character’s path closes.

*NOTE:

If you disable incest, while not absolutely necessary, it’s advisable to start a new game.

Family characters are hidden in the replay gallery when incest is disabled.

Updated edits to story/dialog from previous version(s):

Man-cave scene:

The kiss with Cara is no longer forced; you now have the option to decline it.

If you closed the path for Alex (saying you weren’t into tattooed women), this scene is now longer and plays out a little differently.

The scene in Millie’s bedroom hasn’t changed but has been altered slightly.

Her hand is now an Interactive Focus option instead of forcing the dialog (It only appears if you didn’t knock on the door first beforehand).

MovieNight scene:

If you previously showed no incestuous interest in Millie, the dialogue has been altered to reflect this, and you no longer have lewd thoughts when sitting beside her.
