Hey everyone!

Its been a few days since the 4.2 update, the excitement has settled down, so its time for a quick summary.

As always, some people say the update was too small, so let me remind you: were using all the time and resources we have to make updates as fast as possible. We're also looking for new artists to speed things up, but so far we havent found anyone who meets our quality standards. We wont lower the quality of the game just to release updates faster.

That said, everything is going according to plan actually even better. Were adding new scenes that we didnt originally plan, and theyre not slowing us down.

As I said last year and Ill say it again the final update (version 7.0 or 8.0) will come in the second half of 2026 and it will be the end of the game. If you bought the game on Steam, youll get that update for free. Were not going to ask you to pay for extra chapters/acts or anything like that (we plan side-story DLCs though!).

Now, about the content. Some scenes might feel like you have no control over the story but thats not true. Most scenes now have different dialogue and renders depending on the choices you made earlier. This will become even more noticeable in the future.

And yes most sex scenes are and will remain non-skippable. Thats part of the games genre: Debauchery and Corruption. Were planning 4 different endings but none of them include Riley becoming a nun. We know not everyone likes this style or genre, and thats okay. Some people dont like female protagonists, some dont like sandbox games, and some dont like how we tell the story. But many of you do and thats why well keep going.

As always, some haters appeared on Steam and other forums. So let me say it again this game isnt for everyone. Its actually funny how some people come back with every update just to say how bad the game is... and still play it. Thats the definition of hypocrisy.

Back to the production Episode 5.0 will definitely come out this year, but were not ready to share a release date yet because were also preparing a surprise for you later this year.

Were now entering the second half of the year and the whole Steps of Debauchery team is hard at work. Episode 5.0 has been in development even before 4.2 was released, and it will move the story forward much faster and include a lot of new content. I wont call it huge some people expect 5 hours of new content every month, which is just not possible without hurting quality but were doing our best and using all our free time to work on it.

Theres also another surprise we havent mentioned yet Ill tell you more about that next week.

Thats it from me for now. To sum up this game isnt for everyone. If you havent liked it so far, its probably not the game for you. Trying to change my mind wont help. To everyone else thank you so much for your support, kind words, and financial help. We wouldnt be here without you.

Take care and enjoy your Sunday!
