Shale Hill Secrets | Episode 6 released to $10+ patrons!
🕑 Added 2022-05-15 00:56:43 +0000 UTCWe are delighted to announce that Shale Hill Secrets - Episode 6 has been released to $10+ patrons, meaning it’s time to discover what is going to happen after that excruciating cliffhanger from the last episode.
To refresh your memory (EP5 spoilers ahead) - The MC attended a halloween party at Emily’s family house with a girl (or bro) of your choice. Aside from a little fun with your chosen girl, the MC used this opportunity to do some investigating. We finally started finding some clues involving Cedric and Emily - until the MC was attacked by somebody in a clown costume.
Who was behind the costume? Is our life in danger? Are any of our friends wrapped up in this too? Is there a way out of this? Hopefully Episode 6 can start to give us some answers!
Install Instructions
IMPORTANT: Do not play previous builds (0.1.x, 0.2.x etc). Always play the latest build available (it contains all the episodes). Since we are constantly improving the engine, executing a previous build after you've run a newer one could corrupt your progress.
Shale Hill Secrets Episode 6 v0.6.3
Full Download Here (Windows 64-bit, macOS, Android)
Just FYI: There are two special scenes in this episode, one is completely missable if you do not select the correct option!
The files are hosted on itch since their download speeds are better.
You don't need to create an itch account. Just click "Connect with Patreon" > "Allow" > "Download". If you have canceled your pledge, Itch may not allow you to access the downloads. Please re-enable your pledge (you won't be charged again) to download the files. Then you can cancel it afterwards.
If for any reason you can't download the game from Itch, please get in touch with any of our moderators at our Discord server.
Patreon Authentication
The game now requires direct access validation using your Patreon account. Your subscription must be active for the API to recognize it. If you pledged and canceled it right afterwards, the validation process could fail. Please re-enable your pledge (you won't be charged again) and try again.
If your browser doesn’t open when clicking “Login with Patreon to play this episode!”, please check your system default browser settings and make sure your preferred browser is selected.
If the authentication process doesn’t work, please make sure to whitelist Shale Hill Secrets in your antivirus/firewall settings. Run the game in Admin mode can also help. Whitelist our domain in your ad blocker/security extension in your browser can also do the trick.
Windows
Download the file below, extract the zipped file to a location of your choice and then run the Shale Hill Secrets executable. The game should open straight away after this. Do not try to run the executable without unzipping it first or you’ll get an error message! Do not mix these files with previous releases! This release contains all the episodes.
macOS
Double click Install Shale Hill Secrets.dmg. Then, in the window that opens, drag and drop the app to the Applications folder.
If the DMG file doesn't open, this means Gatekeeper could have quarantined it. It can be fixed by running this command in Terminal:
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine $HOME/Downloads/Install\ Shale\ Hill\ Secrets\ v0.6.3.dmg
Android
Your device needs to be able to install APKs outside of the Play Store. If it isn't, you need to enable that option first.
After downloading the file, open the APK and select "update". Don't uninstall the previous version or you might lose your progress.

Sadly, the last two episodes could have been one somewhat mediocre episode.

Really sorry about that. Butler (itch uploader) has been misbehaving lately. I've just reupload the Mac build.
Love-Joint
Send me a private message letting me know what operating system you use (Windows, Mac, Android) and I'll get you an alternate link.

Mac version is only 230 bytes. Seems like the upload is broken
Is there any chance/source for an alt download link? I have really terrible internet and the problem with this one is if it gets interuppted I have to restart the whole thing. it never lets me resume a broken download :(

Episode 5 needs to be finished (until it shows the buttons to return to the main menu) for Episode 6 to be unlocked.

Is episode 6 out yet cause I downloaded the game but gives me episode 5 and the scenes of episodes 6 are locked 👀
I really appreciate the attention to the sound in this game. It seems like something that could easily be forgotten or not given that much care to, but the music and ambiances really work wonders in this game. Sometimes I feel like the game is playing me, and the music pulls me along. Great work, honestly.

Very interesting, I wonder who’s the one pulling the strings. I have my deductions.
Danny
