A downloadable visual novel for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Hi all! Long time no update!!

Long story short, I have had a hectic time these last few years. I work as a public school teacher and since the last updates, I changed schools and took on many new (leadership) responsibilities. I had to start working more and my brain was so fried by the end of each workday that I couldn't make time to do much of anything, let alone game dev.

However, things have finally calmed down considerably, and Adi and I have returned to work on finishing this game! I am confident now in a release date and we're working on releasing it simultaneously on Steam, too. Assuming it gets approved (still waiting on review), the Steam version will be "all ages", but will have a free DLC to unlock the erotic scenes. Those are text-only so I can't imagine it being too difficult to get approved, but that's where we're sitting right now.

We're looking at an official release date of March 14, 2024! White Day! I am working on finishing up and polishing the last few scenes of the game, but all the art assets have been completed so once the writing is done we can proceed to beta testing. :3 As always, if you're really curious about progress, you can follow the HWL Trello to see the latest updates. If you click the "Activity" link on the right, you can just see the chronological updates regardless of which cards they're on.

Thanks for all the support over the years and I hope that you can meet Francis and Rai very soon!
