Ext. Demo Ver 3.0 + Kickstarter Countdown


Hello all!

Now that we've passed the 50% funding mark on our Kickstarter with a week to spare, we've got that new demo chapter at the ready as promised! In fact, it's already available for download here, right now. 

But first...

The Final Week of the Campaign

Our Kickstarter is just a week away from the finish line, and we're gearing up for that last push to get to 100%! 

The sooner we can reach 75% funded the better the odds are that we can make it to the goal—and you'll all get a Chapter 8 Voiced CG Preview with it. 

Seeing as the campaign is all or nothing, we need as much help as we can get to make it in the time that remains. Kickstarter only charges your card if the campaign is successful when the campaign itself ends, so you can always pledge early and not worry about funds being taken out immediately. 

(Tell your friends about the game if you like, too—sometimes that's how the best of hidden gems spread!)

No matter how you support us in developing OSAS, whether in big ways or small, thank you for being here with us! 

Next funding milestone: At 75% funded, a chapter 8 voiced CG preview will be released.

Seamus Chapter 1

This update brings with it Seamus Chapter 1, allowing you to play from the start of the game from either Hugo or Seamus' perspective!

The chapter was a lot of fun to write and script, and I hope you all enjoy this new look from Seamus' point of view! I think it drastically changes how his second chapter feels if you're playing from the very beginning. (If you were looking for more of James or Cornelius, they're also there!)

New assets such as Seamus' Dining Room background and Future Happiness, the soundtrack's affectionate theme, have also been included as part of this chapter.

You'll also get to see what Hugo wrote to Seamus in that very first letter! It's something deliberately unseen in Hugo's route, as Hugo himself writes it off as something he's sure he's "heard the last of", but it's something else entirely to Seamus.

Either way, we hope you enjoy this fresh content!

If you are redownloading, your save data should be intact, as the existing saves directory will not be affected by redownloading the game. 

Please let us know on Discord or in the comments if you encounter any issues!

This update includes the following changes:
