It's been 3 months since the game went on hiatus, which is half the time I had initially planned. It's been really sad being away from this, I miss it so much
Well, let's get to the news. I've decided that the next chapter will be divided into three smaller parts (550-700 renders). The good thing about this change is that you won't have to wait so long for each release, the waiting time will be much shorter. I will test this format and see if I can adapt to it. Once I get back to developing the game in January, I'll need to reorganize the order of some events and test it. But the next update is quite close.
While on hiatus, I took some time to improve the menu and add some lore to it. I know it was getting too confusing and hard to remember every name and detail. I hope it helps.
Now, what you can expect from the next update:
New Content - Chapter 4
- Part 1/3
- ~550 to 700 new images
- Content: 90% of memories unlocked (1), Academy scenes (2), a bit of main plot development (3), and a nightclub scene.

Hi everyone,
I’m here to share some sad news. Going straight to the point: unfortunately, and with a heavy heart, Forgotten Pathways will have to be abandoned.
I know this is frustrating for those who were waiting, especially since I had announced just over two months ago that I’d return in January. That truly was my plan. I have over 1400 renders ready, dozens of animations, and countless hours of work, but I won’t be able to continue.
Unfortunately, I’m going through some changes in my life that prevent me from moving forward. I can’t share details about what’s happening, but for the sake of my health, I need to focus on my personal and professional life.
I want to thank everyone who supported and believed in this project. I was incredibly happy working on it, and I’m so grateful for the time you spent playing it. I'm also sorry for all the mistakes I made that could have been avoided if I had been more careful in the beginning.
To all the patrons, I have immense gratitude. It’s people like you who allow new devs to keep working on their projects and maybe even focus on it professionally someday.
Developing FP was the coolest thing I’ve ever done in my life.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, and I’m sorry for not being able to continue.
Ps. I’ll keep the discord server and the patreon account active for a few more days so everyone has a chance to read this.
Finally, a last render to wish you all a great christmas and new year. May this season bring you wonderful moments <3

Ps 2. For the ones who liked the story, I do have plans to publish it in another format in the future
Thank you again!

Hi Ochilochin,Heyyy <3 I want you all to know that I'm really sad. This was such a hard decision to make because I love FP and I love working on this project. Unfortunately, it’s humanly impossible (due to lack of free time) to continue developing it for a while, so I decided to stop creating expectations for people. I have a lot of renders and animations done, but there’s still a lot left in terms of coding, dialogue, music, and testing, which is why I truly can’t release Chapter 4
