Hello gang! We'll be pushing out a new patch today (v.1.0.2) that addresses the following things:

Polishing & Proof-reading

We are replaying the entire game and we're adding some more polishing/proof-reading to every scene. Because Chapters 6 and 7 are SO HUGE with lots and lots of combinations, the extra pass of polishing might take some time (if not months), so please expect frequent patches from us!

Branching Tree & Loading Save Files

We are aware that the branching trees of 6 and 7 are lagging. That's because they're super long. To begin with, we ourselves didn't expect the game to blow up like this, so the system was unable to handle it properly. Our programmers have currently implemented a fix in this patch. Loading saved files should be faster now. But the compromise is opening the branch tree for the first time will be a bit slow (might take a couple of seconds). But once you re-open them it should be fast already. :) Switching from one branch tree chapter to another would also take time. This is the best fix we can think of so far, but our technical director is still experimenting/thinking of ways on how to improve the player experience.

Branching Tree Nodes not unlocking

Chapters 6 and 7 have 4000 branch tree nodes combined, all of which we are manually unlocking via script. If you find a node that doesn't light up, please let us know ASAP so we can investigate and patch it on our end (please enable the "show debug info" and send us the scene no. + line no.) Please take note that if you have a save file that has a problematic node, even if we patch it, it still wouldn't be unlocked when you reload it. Instead, you'll have to reload the previous scene that has a working node, and skip the part where your save file is, and then replace that save file.

Voice Acting & Epilogues

This patch should also fix a couple of errors with voice acting. We are aware that some lines are still unvoiced, and they will be patched soon as well! Any problems regarding the Epilogues should also be fixed now! Otherwise, please let us know!

Avatars for everyone!!

Phew, thank you for reading this far! We deeply apologize for any inconvenience, but rest assured we're working hard to fix every error you report as much as we can. (•̀o•́)ง
Let's end this update on a lighter note! Here's a The Letter avatar pack for everyone! Time to change your display pictures!! ♡ Avatar Pack: https://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/yangyangmobile/The+Letter+Avatar+Pack.zip
