Back Home day 3, part 4 released

Back Home
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

The new episode is finally there and it's been hard labour. It's has taken me a long time to complete, mainly because I got ill shortly after I started making this episode. I'm still recovering from that and I'm still lacking some of the energy I had before. But I have a lot more of than a couple of months ago, so that's good news.

Second reason for the long delay is that the episode is quite bulky. Approximately twice the size of any previous episode. There are 864 new images and 46 new animations, or somewhere near.

Day 3 part 4 is episode 8 of your epic journey back home. It consists of two separate stories, either with Hester of with Shelly. Unlike previous episode, there is no sneaky way to see both. I assume you saved your game before you made important choices. The story will continue where you ended last time.

Both Shelly’s and Hester’s story will come to an end for now. Day 4 will bring new adventures and new encounters. I hope you’re looking forward to that. However, there is one story that isn’t over yet. There is a possibility you end up with the twins. That adventure will continue, probably as a parallel story, available for all.

There is one thing I haven’t done, and that’s updating the address book in your phone. On several occasions in the story, it is suggested there are new entries. You won’t find them. Updating would have cost me at least another few days, and it won’t influence the course of the game for now. I will fix this next episode, since it will be important later.

The photo album is up-to date. Missing pictures are an indication that you missed that part of the story. It is, however, impossible to get all images in one go. Going different paths means having different adventures and therefore different memories.

If you have any questions or comments of if you encounter any bugs (I certainly hope not!), you can reach me on Patreon  or on Discord.

Best wishes, Rico Caramba.
