Hello everyone! The moment we've been waiting for: v0.13 is now ready for a wider release!
The two Alpha playtests of this update have been very successful, and we believe we have eliminated most, if not all, of the bugs. That being said, if you encounter any problems or perceived problems in your playthrough, please don't hesitate to make a bug report. You can click on the little bug in the main menu, and it will bring you to a Google Form that the team reads.
Note that this is not the full Episode 6, as we have stated in our Roadmap post, which you can check out. This build is the second part of Episode 6! It features new scenes for Jeze and a multitude of lewd scenes, starring two guest stars: Ash-Lee VR and Dani Tea!
Backer Guided Code:
If you are a $20+ Backer, the code in the older posts will work for every version of v0.13 onwards. A new one will be generated for v0.14.
So, I hope you all enjoy the newest build of my game!
Each tier will get its own post with its download links. Please do not distribute these builds to others; post them around. Kokman, Noba, erassdZ, Koth, and I worked hard to bring this update to you <3

Improved performance of Hazel's shower scene in Ep 4.
The game is now in 1920x1080 instead of 3840x2160 to improve performance for everyone and keep file sizes low.

Next up is the last bit of Episode 6! Which has stretched on longer than I wanted it to. Ren'Py has been a pain in our sides for a while now. As we have discussed, after version 0.14, we will be switching to Unity.
Half of our development time on v0.14 will be getting Unity figured out and building the new version of Hazelnut Latte. We have a LOT of updates and changes regarding Unity that we will be revealing at a later date. Much of that development is still underway, with me hiring new team members and us having constant discussions and working every day to bring this new vision to life.
The hope is that v0.14 won't take nearly as long as v0.13. A lot of v0.13's development got scrapped, which is why we are moving to Unity. After much discussion, we also plan on revamping the Roadmap when we have a clearer idea of how this whole thing should work.
We also plan to take the feedback you all submit and improve in areas we might have missed. The next version focuses heavily on Hazel, Robbie, and a bit of Jeze.
Please follow me on Patreon or Subscribestar for updates and support the game, so I can continue to make this my job! I want to make so many femboy games.
Anyway, thank you all! Enjoy the new build! Lemme know if it breaks! And...
