✅FatesCrossed 0.2.8 Public Release!🎉

Hey everyone!

First of all, I want to apologize for the delay with the public release of v0.2.8.

I've fallen quite a bit behind while working on v0.3.1. Since the public build also has to include all the bug fixes, QoL improvements, and new mechanics introduced in the supporter versions, preparing it took much longer than I originally expected.

The itch.io will be uploaded a little later.

About v0.2.8

The public release contains everything from the supporter version of v0.2.8, except for the exclusive scenes. It also includes several gameplay improvements that supporters originally received in later builds.

This update continues the bar storyline, although it still ends rather abruptly. The continuation will be available in v0.3.1 for supporters.

After that, v0.2.9 (Public) returns to the university storyline, where a lot of new content has already been added.

What's Included in Public v0.2.8

NEW Renders: 738 → Total: 5,139
