Trying to give answers to questions I see coming up every now and again.
When is the next update?
Version 1.1.5 just released Saturday, 30th of August 2025. See the "Available Now" post over on Patreon:
https://www.patreon.com/posts/house-chores-v1-137726037
This update includes a rework of Linda's towel scene as well as a tweak to the "trio homerun" scene so that it can lead to different follow-up scenes now.
The game is available for purchase on patreon for $ 7. If you have purchased the game on Patreon or are a $ 5+ supporter, you won't need to pay for this new version again. If you purchased a copy of the game here on itch, you should be able to download the newest version from your library.
There are future plans for a 1.2 epilogue later this year.

I'm stuck and can't progress Linda's story
The most common cause is Linda's outfit. She needs to be in her regular clothes (black & teal) for her story to progress. You might also want to take a look at this gameplay guide:

Is there a Mac release and/or will there ever be?
I can't speak for the developer, but there is no Mac release for the game's current version and looking at other games made by this creator, I doubt there will be one. I suppose Mac users need to run this game inside an emulator.
How do I transfer saves to a new version?
I believe Siren describes it quite well in this community/forum post:

I can't see my mouse cursor. What do I do?
You can restart the game by pressing F5. Do this until you can see your mouse cursor again.
Is there full screen mode?
You can press F4 to make the game fullscreen. Keep in mind that the artwork is in 720p and will be upscaled to your screen.
Will there be translations?
Unfortunately there are no plans for translations of the game.
Will the game be available on Steam?
The game's creator has stated on twitter that they plan on looking into it later this year.
If there are any other questions that come up frequently, I'll add them here. You can also feel free to ask here.
