Hi friends, 

Episode 3 Part 3 Route 1 has been released! This is a 80,000 word update that adds new exclusive content to the alpha build. This update continues where the last update left off and allows the player to explore Diradan Tower.

• Ends in one of Aeran’s Episode 2 endings

• Ends in Veyer’s Episode 2 endings 

• (for details on how to trigger these, please see the last alpha update post here) 

An average playthrough for this update is pending.

ALPHA BUILD ACCESS

Password (current for May 2024): I7j4Trt8u4HoQGr9G1
Reminder: the password changes on the first of the month!  

Due to ongoing issues surrounding leaks and pirated releases of IF games, this is a reminder that you are NOT ALLOWED to share the alpha build’s password. This is highly disrespectful to my work. If you share it, you will be permanently blocked from my Patreon and banned from all Wayfarer’s Discord servers and social media. 

SAVES & YOUR PLAYTHROUGHS

If your Episode 3 save file is from June 24, 2023 or before, you MUST restart your playthrough from the beginning of the game. Old saves will not work with the new build and they will result in display errors. 

If your save is from after June 24, it will still work with the new update but you may run into continuity errors. These are not game-breaking, but they may be annoying. To ensure smooth continuity, you should load a save from the start of the Lethalis meeting in Episode 2. 

As this build is a work in progress, it is highly recommended that you make multiple manual using Save to Disk and store them on your device rather than your browser. Always save when prompted. You may be required to restart from Episodes 1 or 2 as various bugs are fixed in Episode 3. 

The Autosave occasionally loads incorrect metadata. It is always wiser to load a save made using Save to Disk. 

CREDITS

The patron list has been updated in-game. If you do not see your name and you are part of a tier receives credit as a benefit, or if you would like to change the name you are credited under, please message me. 

BUGS

Bugs must be reported through the Patreon Discord server. All reports must include a screenshot of the passage where the error occurred and the passage title (viewable in the UI header).
