Days, Routes and Voices

The days after the first one. Free roam now runs on a real clock, and new story routes open up across home, school and town.

Change log

NEW STORY EVENTS

• Debbie: the threatening phone call, mowing the lawn with gas from Consum-R, and the basement laundry mix-up.
• Jenny: the shower peek, and the attic peephole with a different scene for every time of day.
• Diane: the garden job, from finding a shovel to working the vegetable patch and moving the wheelbarrow.
• Vivienne: private French tutoring, and the hunt for a French dictionary at the library with Jane.
• Miss Ross: clay class and the mayor’s art contest.
• Miss Dewitt: the music lesson, Principal Smith’s attack on the talent show, joining it, and the flute sign-out sheet.
• Judith: her thank-you after the locker room.

NEW CHARACTERS

Diane, Jane the librarian, Veronica at Consum-R, Miss Ross, Miss Dewitt and Miss Okita.

510 NEW RENDERS

396 story renders across 49 new scenes, 92 new location backgrounds with morning, evening and night versions, and 22 product shots for the Consum-R shelves.

ANIMATED SCENES

Four animated clips across three scenes: Jenny’s shower, the attic peephole in the evening, and the library research stacks.

24 NEW LOCATIONS

At home, the attic, and next door, Diane’s house and garden. At school, the art, music and science classrooms, the gym and athletics office, the right hall, the girls’ bathroom and its stall, the cafeteria, the computer lab, the teachers’ lounge, and the art, music and French offices. In town, the library with its lobby, research stacks and French shelf, and the mall with its concourse, the Consum-R store and its shelves.

AI VOICEOVER

Every scene is voiced, with more than 1,800 AI-voiced lines. Switch it on or off with AI Voice in the new-game setup or in Settings.

A LIVING DAY

Four times of day and a seven-day week. Characters keep their own schedules, the school closes at dusk and on weekends, and sleeping takes you to the next morning.

PHONE, BAG AND SHOP

A new phone: the Notes app lists every task and where to go next, and Contacts has a profile for each character. The bag holds the quest items you pick up, and Consum-R is a full shop with a cart and checkout. Cash comes from jobs such as Diane’s garden.

RELATIONSHIP MODE

The new-game setup now picks one mode for the whole story: Original, or Mom-Sister, which also makes Diane your aunt and Mrs. Johnson Erik’s mom.

PORTUGUESE AND RUSSIAN

Two new languages, for five in all. Everything is translated, including the name above each line of dialogue.

STARTUP

A new studio intro, and a beta note on the main menu with the Discord link and the Change Log.
