LbtW - Chapter 6 is now public! :D

Love by the Water - Chapter 6 is now public and available to download on our Itch.io page! 

This is our biggest update ever in every aspect. It's also, in our opinion, our best. It showcases all of the hard work we've put into improving not just from a visual standpoint but technically and in our storytelling. I hope you can feel the passion we put into this project over the past half-year while you're playing! Thank you so much for all of your patience and support. You can find us on Discord if you have any questions, feedback, or just simply want to say hi! If you enjoyed the game, please leave us a rating on Itch, as it truly helps us out.

Dev is there a hypothetical timeline of when chapter 7 will be released yet?

The only thing I can say for certain is that it will be out this year LMAO Anything else would make me too nervous to commit to. I can say, though, that we're working on it and that we'll be releasing as QoL/UIUX update beforehand (maybe next month). The second I have more information to share, it'll be mentioned here! Sorry for being vague. I just don't want anyone to be let down, you know?
