Stone Fox Studios is excited to announce that Chapter 8 has arrived in time for the holidays.
This will be the "expansion chapter" since we were unable to close out the Tonalu arc in Chapter 7 as originally planned. Chapter 9 will pick up where the original Chapter 8 would have opened, in Boston.
The final tally for Chapter 8:
1900 new individual static renders
6 new animations
1 Crossover with another popular VN
22 new original audio tracks
21 new achievements
Chapter 8 was bittersweet for us because we say farewell to a few characters (for now) and the next chapter effectively wraps up the pathing, with the final chapter being more of an epilogue that explores the consequences of the player's cumulative choices.
The Chapter has been retitled "Conflicts of Interest," and picks up shortly after the post-credits scene in Chapter 7.
There will be a lot to unpack before Team Throatpunch leaves Tonalu:
- What will George's decision be on the inheritance?
- Will there be fallout for MC following his deadly incident on foreign soil?
- What were the results of Jaye's DNA test?
In addition, we'll get some insight into some backstories that haven't been addressed directly in the game so far:
- What happened between Gary and Bianca?
- Why did Lisa keep MC and Jaye's shower tryst to herself?
- Who is buying the MV Sunset?
- What was the impact of Jaye's sabbatical from pre-med?
All of this and more will be addressed in the lead up to the penultimate chapter of Chasing Sunsets.
We hope you enjoy playing Chapter 8 as much as we enjoyed making it. Happy holidays from Stoya and Kentyrr at Stone Fox Studios!
