Act II of WW1-era otome visual novel Because We're Here is now on Steam!
This second act follows Elfriede through the next few months of the First Lassallian War, and a large amount of the story takes place in the trenches this time around. Against the backdrop of an upcoming spring offensive, she meets several new characters (many of whom are from ‘enemy’ nations) and struggles with the emotional fallout of Act I's events.
Because We're Here Act II has been in development for quite a long time! I really had the chance to work on it properly this year, but the plot and the new characters originated with the first draft in 2016-17. A lot of love has gone into it! It's full of twists and turns, and it’s the longest act by far at 220k words~
So! I won't overstay my welcome with this blog post. I hope you enjoy Act II.

And of course, Act II is on a 15% off launch discount for the next week!
(There was a small delay in Act II's launch due to problems with getting it on Steam as DLC - it was initially meant to be the 26th, but here we are. Thanks for your patience!)
