Hello everyone! It's Blaboole back again with the anonmymous author from before to give you another update! 

First off, some team updates: the member that worked on some of the code and the Portugese translation of the game has had to leave the team, so for right now we will not be adding any more Portugese translation updates. That's all the team updates really, but we all got on a call together and had fun working on the VN, so happy to report that too! :)

Alright, now for the juicy update deets! As usual, Chapter 6 will be available for Patrons only until the next update, and the Chapter 5 update is now available publicly for everyone!For this update, we made it so that all of the code changes are available to the public when we make new releases—you will only miss out on the chapter 6 story content. So all the more reason to check out the new update today!

What's new?

All of Chapter 6! It's EXTRA BEEFY: we've added about 15k words for this chapter (usually chapters add about 5k more words to the story!). Along with that, we've polished up some of the previous chapters, and added a new personality points system that changes depending on how you treat people during the game and change the dialogue options later on in the story. So it might be worth replaying from the start! To go along with the general polishing and beefiness of the update, we also added some Discord integration so you can flex how far along in the story you are to your friends!

Yooo, built in speedrun timer? Thanks PR Crew!
