Oh yeah, this trailer looks very promising and emotional! Now it's even harder to deal with the announced release dates

Dev Diary, June 27th, 2025
It's the weekend, once again. And I hope you enjoyed the more serious trailer from the upcoming episode. If not, it's available above.
121 story renders and 2,034 frames of animation were done this week. But now to something else.
As the release dates given (Q3 for Patreon and Q4 for Steam) are rough estimates, I'll give a little rundown on how I'll proceed with the planning for the actual release (as Q3 is technically four days away).
Right now, I'm working on the last lewd scenes of the free-roam, and I estimate that I'll need an additional 100 story renders for that, too. I've set myself a deadline for all that by the end of July. When that is done, I'll send it for approval to Valve/Steam. This is the bare-bones version of Episode 4, which has fewer choices than I'd like, but is playable as a whole.
Since the Steam process can take anywhere from 1 to 6 weeks, with potential further delays and required changes, I'll still submit it before the episode is completed, just to get it in the queue for approval, so I can start honing in on the actual release dates when I get the all-clear.
While it's in the approval queue, I'll keep adding scenes with other girls, so you have a bit more choice of who to spend a bit of romantic one-on-one time with.
Once the Steam process is done, I'll give the testers access, so they can begin testing. To do this directly in the Steam client is a huge advantage, because correcting errors, uploading builds, and downloading fixes is just as quick and easy as you getting fixes for other games you own through Steam.
Once testing is complete, the Patreon version will be released, and I anticipate the Steam version to follow shortly thereafter (within a month or so). I'll provide you with the exact dates as soon as I confirm them.
And just to be clear, U4iA - Season 1 will be the first four episodes. The following four episodes will be Season 2, which will be a separate product on Steam.
A few facts about the episode:
Have a wonderful weekend, and stay safe out there.

A few facts about the episode:
- It's much faster flowing than anything I've done before, which was an intended change, and a lot more work to pose. But it really helps cut down on the "boring transport stages".
- There are more than 50 characters in this episode.
- There are more than 50 different locations.
- The bigger choices (like the help Sergei or not choice in ep1) will actively change the content you're experiencing in the episode, and are there to make replays more fun and diverse.
- There is only one free-roam. It's a big one - not in terms of size, but in terms of what happens there. Navigation has been simplified, and shortcuts are available.
- 10 lewd scenes, all in the 15 to 20-ish animation length.
Have a wonderful weekend, and stay safe out there.

Downloaded this one. Game ends after club scene. Is that not only chapter 1? It also says "mod not installed correctly" in homescreen.
Can anybody help?

I flirt with no one, I help out Anita, I get drunk, I don't get drunk, I have tried every option in the first episode, and there seems to be no way to trigger going home with Anita. What the heck am I missing?
Leave the bar with Teagan. Dont take advantage of her. you should be able to go with anita after.

Hi there,
So, I started playing again and was wondering why the heck this notification (image 1) kept popping up, but there wasn't really change in the phone gallery or the menu gallery, except that both were actually unlocked (image 2).
I just started Episode 2 and it's my first day working at the hotel. Should more photos be unlocked, or is it something else, bug or whatever? Or it's just me being unfortunate with a bug?

hi,
Yeah, I think it's the popping thingy that's gone wild. About the club, I think I've tried just about everything going back and forth from a previous save containing impactful choices and ending up going home with all the available girls, but the same popup appears the same way. And it's not just in the club. As you enter different rooms in the trailer, at the hotel and so on.
Not that it has any impact on the game, but it's super annoying, like some kind of notification announcing a new images to find when there's nothing there.

Can anyone tell me how to find Celeste at the beach party? After talking to both girls, Samantha fell asleep after Celeste left and she and the MC hinted that he could find her somewhere on the beach, but I looked everywhere and didn't see her anywhere. Is there a particular path(s) to follow?

Yeah, after you did everything, talk to the dude and you have to click on Samantha and around the showers where you can get the key she will appear

Do you mean she should be in the shower or around it? I guess it's differ on which different paths you follow, because she didn't appear anywhere until the end when the MC play guitare. Do you remember which routes? Like, did you talk to Samantha at the bar and when they are together in the hotel's parking lot? I'm only thinking Sam because she's the only one who could eventually interfere and the only thing that would make sense, but for all I know, it could be one of the other girls' paths blocking
Wouldn't mind is there were a WT for this game ^^
