[Test Release] Steps 4 Happiness Demo 01 - Sneak Peeking
🕑 Added 2025-09-22 04:03:52 +0000 UTCHello everyone,
Here is the test version of the first demo: “Sneak Peeking.”
Download: Mega, Pixeldrain, Workupload
Just so you know, this is only an excerpt from the main game, designed to address all potential issues I may encounter during development. Follow me on Discord, where I will later write more about the technical details in the “Progress” channel.
Test version
The version I am making available is still for tests. Translations are not included, and there are still bugs as a result of the changes I made today.
I have already identified two bugs in this build: Visual Novel mode is not working, so I recommend that you do not test it, and the game may end before the completion of some content, depending on the order you choose to play.
These are not very difficult problems to solve, but I preferred not to keep you waiting any longer. I intend to fix these and other bugs we find before the public release.
Your feedback is important
Please, if something bothered you in this version, be sure to let me know. I did my best to eliminate the defects, but usually, each big fix generates a lot of new problems, and at some point, I end up not focusing on some flaws.
Your opinions will help guide me on the priorities for fixing.
What about the other demos?
I will upload the other two demos after a few more tests, probably by the end of Tuesday.
After publishing the demos, I will explain what I have achieved with their development, some of the reasons why it took so long, and what we can expect in the future.
Thank you very much for your understanding and for sticking with me during this turbulent time. I want to apologize for the delay. I would love to be able to focus on developing the game and finish it as quickly as possible, but it's not always possible to control adversity.

Hi, the demo shows a section of the game after the introduction; the count of 6 days was a random choice. Thank you for playing, I hope you enjoy the second demo I posted today.

Hello, I'm glad you liked it and are quite satisfied with all the “Pros.” Don't worry, Nicole's original skin is still there and appears in this second demo I posted today. I'm testing different clothes and hairstyles for different occasions, and maybe the option to click on the closet and change clothes (I haven't decided yet). I used a different Nicole here just to see what you think. In Demo 3, Nicole will also look different, but that's because she'll be playing another character, just in this part of the game. I read your comment when I was already compiling Demo 02 and had to stop to fix the problem with the character menu. It's amazing how I hadn't noticed it all this time. Thank you very much for the feedback. I hope you also enjoy the second demo, the third one that will be posted, and the game that is coming later.

Hi hi, TLDR: I really liked what I see and looking forward to future releases. Pros + Voice over is always a great addition + Even point&clickier than before, liked the walking + Desk action in Brandons room is nice + Modifications menu to filter content + Physics *wink* + The style/tone of the game still works just as fine as in the first version + Lighting Cons - I hope Nicole is a placeholder, liked the old one way more, maybe im just not the pig tail kind of guy. In the hint menu top left shes still a cute blonde - The girls faces, Nicole and Alice(?) look very sharp edged compared to the previous version which I like more Bugs (what wasn't already mentioned) - Load screen needs a background - If you spam click on Brandon, the menu Think, Phone, Advance will stack unlimited

Good afternoon, why is this demo in this demo, starting a new game, 6 days at once?
Aargh
Great improvement of the functionality and the fluidity of the gameplay over earlier versions, i´m looking forward for releases with more content again =) keep up your good work! Here some bugs i encountered -Got stuck in the phone menu after Sarah sent the pictures - using escape to pull up the game menu helped. -If you cross the dining room area, there is a floating light switch right over the couch table. -If Brendon steals Janes panties, they remain on the lampshade afterwards. -The self joy scene with Sarah ended in a foggy picture as if the camera clipped to somewhere it does not belong.

Hello, Congratulations on this first demo. Keep an eye on Discord. I'll run some tests in all directions when I get home (damn jet lag, it's only mornings where I live). Just a question to give our opinion on the post or to avoid spoilers?
