Hello peoples! :D
First and foremost an apology - we promised a communique if we had an idea of a delay, and we have not informed you there wouldn't be one. That is because pretty much up until the release, we've been working and testing, and we - for the longest moment - were not sure we'd be able to make the deadline, but also weren't sure if it'd be extended. Either way...!
Without further ado, and with great pleasure, we present to you; Act 2! As of exactly right now, you will be able to download and play the continuation of the story of Her Last Piece!
A rough changelog:
- More than double the amount of lewd scenes from Act 1
- About 1.5x the amount of story from Act 1
- Several new CGIs and rooms to discover
- More than a dozen additional music tracks to enjoy
- Several quality of life improvements based on YOUR feedback
- Optimalisations, both on filesize and performance
A few important notes:
Because we went back to Act 1 and made some much needed improvements, we decided to double down and add some improvements from what we've learned based on your feedback and from Act 2. This means it is NOT save safe. We're terribly sorry, but we've taken countermeasures to avoid this in the future. Regardless, we invite you to explore Act 1 once more. Most of the story will be as you remember it, but we've made significant improvements on both art, flow and animation which we're sure you'll enjoy!
Due to some technical constraints we've decided at this time not to extend the Spanish and Dutch translations into Act 2. Simplified Chinese however is included with this release! We will look into potentially continuing Spanish and Dutch later down the road, if there's enough interest.
If you've come this far, we'd like to address one more matter; you!
First of all, we cannot overstate how glad we are to have not only your support, but your patience. We're a a small team of three people, give or take help from friends and a few contractors who we are eternally grateful for.
Leading directly into that, we'd also like to thank and highlight some of our friends who made this deadline possible - despite our concern that we might miss it - our friends from Cyberframe Studios, who you might know from their up and coming game; Vaygren - Lustful Temptation!

A similarly small team, the creators behind this game have encountered many of the struggles that we have in the course of development, have made many mistakes, and faced several obstacles - all of which we didn't have to, because of their assistance, guidance and help.
We would not have come this far and would not have reached this absolute milestone without them - and we hope you'll find their game as great a joy to play as ours!
As for the future, we'll be sticking close to Act 2's release the coming few days, just in case our testing did miss bugs and we need to apply hotfixes quickly. After such, we'll be drafting up a plan for the future which we'll inform you about as soon as possible!
We look forward to your feedback - bug reports are as always very much welcome and wanted at our Discord over at https://discord.gg/GYsuX4mk
With love
