I'm excited to announce that Shards of the Past will launch into Early Access on Steam on Friday, October 16!

A Note on Content
Shards of the Past is a story-first visual novel focused on character development, world building, and meaningful choices. Due to its slow-burn nature, there are currently no sex scenes between characters in the released content. Those will come later as the story and your relationships with certain characters develop, and they will be avoidable for anyone who prefers not to see that content.
