Day One is done

The first chapter of Second Semester, Day One, now plays from start to finish, and on 2 October we packaged it as v0.1.0-prologue for macOS and Windows. These are internal builds; nothing has been released publicly yet.

What Day One covers

Adrian wakes up late on the first morning of his second college year, and Milo drags him out of the door. On the uphill walk to campus the two of them get caught staring at Dean Celeste Quinn and her daughter Elara, and Adrian turns up late to Professor Helena Ward’s class.

Before the lesson starts there is a little free time: you choose which classmates to talk to (Nora, Tessa, Mina, or Chloe and Zoe), in any order. After class, Elara offers Adrian some paid tutoring, while her best friend Priya teases him about failing Visual Theory.

The day ends by opening up the map of Bellhaven.

Also in this build

• Choose your own first name for Adrian at the start.
• An interactive city map with hover highlights for every place, plus a downtown sub-map.
• Eight original music tracks (theme, morning, campus, playful, classroom, flirty, tender and intimate), cued scene by scene.
• The RealBite Studio intro, and an 18+ notice on every launch.

Next

Day Two is where Second Semester becomes a sandbox: a day-and-map loop where you pick where to go and who to see, with character routes growing out of it.
