[FINAL] Episode 3 Test Release
🕑 Added 2024-09-27 21:09:10 +0000 UTCHi all! Episode 3 Test Release is finally here!
One big backend change for this release is separating in-game content into "Seasons"!
Season 1 (S1) consists of the Prologue, Episode (E1), Episode 2 (E2), and all current side stories, while Season 2 (S2) kicks off with Episode 3 (E3) starting this test release! You are now presented with an end-of-season save at the end of S1, which can then be imported into S2!
Aside from a multitude of backend changes and catching up on tech debt, let's move on to the real reason why you're reading this: download links and content!
HOTFIX 1 (created on 28th September)
MEGA
- Fixed a case where the player will be hard-stuck with a phone screen after performing an end-of-season save. (Thank you Cyber!)
- Fixed a case where rollback will be affected after performing an end-of-season save.
To apply, copy "scripts.rpa" into Cara in Creekmaw's "game" folder and replace.

Season 1 Instructions and quick FAQs
Suppose you're a returning player from Episode 2. In that case, it is recommended that you download Season 1 content in order to access the newly added season save import/export near the end of the season's content. This save will allow you to save all your progress (and choices) before progressing into Season 2!
But are they the same game, will my saves become corrupted?
The game and everything about it is still the same as you remember, and this is not a separate launcher nor does it require additional steps on your end (other than downloading the game and loading up your old save!)
Why did you split the game into Seasons, isn't it confusing?
With the full game nearing 12GB in size, it is not feasible to continue in the same way without taking a look under the hood. This decision to split the game is to ensure file sizes are manageable on everyone's end while allowing me to be more productive during release seasons (i.e. I don't need to upload a 12+GB file each release, I just need to upload the specific season's content (in this case, Season 2!)
Is Season 1 complete? Are you adding anything to it?
Season 1 is complete and it will be considered a "legacy"/"past" content. Nothing new will be added (i.e. if you played it before, nothing has changed about it).
I downloaded Season 2, but my gallery and secret renders are busted! Why?
Two reasons:
The gallery and secret renders have not been updated to include Episode 3's new scenes and renders, they will be updated in the final, full release of Episode 3.
Since S1 image data is not available, trying to access past replays is not possible since the data is missing.
While the content inside Season 2 can be played independently, trying to access content outside of it will need the relevant image data to be present.
How do I get the 'full' game?
In the "game" folder you can combine the S1 with S2 data, doing so will complete the entire package
Enjoy the game!

Strange device not being added to my organizer.Can you show me what it looks like after being added?What bug did I encounter?

I feel this requires a bit more information to deduce.

I can't seem to get this to work for my Android I've downloaded the new content but They won't apply or update

I understand your criticism and see where you're coming from! At the end of the day, this implementation isn't something I invented or came up with on a whim and added as a 'checklist', but instead it is my attempt at re-creating a game franchise's mechanics that I grew up with as a kid (which is Ace Attorney). If it comes at the cost of my readers, then so be it, as in the end, I'm looking to create a game that I myself would want to play, and we can agree to disagree on this point. Have a good day!

I did use the "help" button and it didn't help me get around the circular conversation. some may get it, but i hate it and i am not messing with it. Its a shame really. I have loved this game from day one and this one single mechanic ruins it all. You know, there is a reason why nobody re-invented the wheel. It works..... This cumbersome mess doesn't and its gonna cost you readers.
Ariaspoaa
Hi there, the hotfix link above resolves the issue mentioned here. I'm sorry the new mechanics are not to your expectations. I do hope that you will give it a second chance and also utilize the help button on the top right of the screen that will provide you with the answer to move forward! I will look to improve this experience and I understand if the initial implementation is unintuitive or cumbersome.

Oh and then there's this. I tried deleting, re-downloading and still get it. you have no idea how frustrated I am right now. I was so looking forward to the next episode and this interrogation thing has just killed my interest completely. I am sorry but you need an option to get around that or add a walk-through with the correct choices. I am not a speed clicker. I like to read and try to remember things and the fact that I cant get through it is infuriating. Oh, and the question mark thing that says for you to present the journal on her fifth statement? completely useless. I followed the hint to the letter and nothing. Just a circular, "Maybe i need to go at this from another direction." Then it starts all over until the error finally hits. I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

I had to get on here just to say this. That interrogation just made me delete the game. Its cumbersome and runs you in circles. If its in the game and there is no way around it, I am deleting the game. you ruined my favorite game. Thanks alot!!
Ariaspoaa
Thank you for the spot. The MediaFire link will be examined and brought back in due time! For now, please use the alternative mirror! Sorry for the inconvenience!

Hi John, the side stories in this case can be found in Season 1. Season 2 by itself does not contain anything other than the picture data of Episode 3 Test Release! All of the picture data for the side stories is contained within Season 1! What I would recommend you to do is firstly download Season 1, then download Season 2. After this, open both of their "game" folders. Next, copy the contents of this "game" folder from Season 1 into Season 2 and allow it to overwrite. Finally, launch the game (i.e. double click the 'C' icon) from the Season 2 folder. Following the steps above, you will have a 'complete' game, ready for you to enjoy! I sincerely hope this helps and please do not hesitate to ask me if you have any queries.

Problems whit link Android
John
When I download and load the season 2 and try to do the side stories it doesn't show any pictures. Says they aren't available. Fixes for this? I download and open season 2 by itself, and have tried deleting season 1 or old game files to fix. Not very computer savy, dumbing it down for me would be very helpful.

Hey, I just DM'd you the mega upload on patreon with an expiry link (mid october) and password locked. so check your DMs :)

The strange device requires a futa twin to be set in the cheat menu (as Jimbo mentions below). Once set, after you interact with the device in the chest, you will trigger a conversation and it will then be added to your organizer!

"Father" and "daughter"

Hi there, sorry to hear about this. Is it possible for you to share your save with me (i.e. over a sharing link like MEGA/Mediafire or through Discord)? It would be easier for me to solve this issue with the save that you have!
Ariaspoaa
I have no ETA on this and it will be ready when it's done. My best and honest ballpark for this is 3-4 months from now, but please note that this is an estimation!

Hello Ariaspoaa, first of all great work. But I think I have found a mistake. The transmitter in EP3 from the attic is not added to my organizer. And that's why I can't get any further with the questioning of Rachel, because this item is missing. EDIT: This error only occurs if none of the twins are active as futa. (Both variables: false) then the dialogs in which the transmitter is added are skipped. But then the companion quest continues without problems > until the interrogation of Rachel.

Where am I supposed to findstrange equipment ?
DasFuchs
what are the 2 words linking it all together?
Cyber
So is the downloadable game files right now, are they just to allow us to save or does it have a small continuation after the "family back together" line? Because it tells me to save a Season 1 end of season save, but then after that i'm stuck on a phone screen between cara "Goodnight,momma!<3" and that's it, it doesn't even give me the option to go main menu or loading anything. Restarting game gets me to same screen every time and it bricks there. Thoughts?

How long do we have to wait for the final version of episode 3?
