Here we are, with 0.29.0 ready to roll. By now, this release should give you a pretty good idea of what the final product will look like. Sure we've got a ton of endings to add over the next few months, but in terms of the user interface, the core engine is done and just waiting for the last bits of content to be implemented.
For those waiting for Marisa, Roe, or Anita's endings, you'll be able to view those with this update. Both Kara and Sammy will wrap up their stories. And Natalie's got something special if you've done some specific things in the game so far.
As mentioned earlier, we did include a difficulty option for those who might come in a little short when the ending comes. As depicted in the screenshot below, you can see what difficulty you have under the character screen and change it from the Options menu. And if you create a new game, you'll be able to set it there as well.

Here's the release schedule for 0.29.0 (all scheduled for 11:59 am EDT release):
Tier 3 - September 16, 2024
Tier 2 - September 18, 2024
Tier 1 - September 20, 2024
Public - September 21, 2024
