As you will see as soon as next weekend, we may have gotten carried away with this episode. We have a lot of content, with important things happening all the tim...

This is a big one. We’re releasing the first FIVE episodes of the game for free. These episodes include six separate updates spanning well over a year of development, so we’re talking at least a good 10+ hours of gameplay all at once, depending on how fast you read of course.

This scene is yet again fully playable with text in the engine, and by the title is pretty self-explanatory. Maggie and the MC meet for some more speech practice, but their discussion gets a little spicy and you end up practising something else with her… 😉

As everybody knows as a famous Love-Joint specialty, we did finish the last episode with a mysterious cliffhanger, leaving some questions for the future. The MC was caught snooping around the Halloween party and it looks like he is in trouble. We understand that most of you are curious about what's going on (as are some of ...

We are approaching the end of February which means it’s time for another bonus scene!
This month we have prepared a special flashback scene with the MC and Emily back when they were dating. It’s Valentine's Day, and Emily is meeting the MC at the cinema for a secret screening - although, you can probably guess that they won’t be focused too much on the movie.
The scene will be out on Monday to Platinum+ patrons, but more excitingly, it’ll release stra...

Hey guys!
Lately, some of you have been asking about the release date for episode five of Shale Hill Secrets. There's no easy way of putting it, but cutting directly to the point: unfortunately, we believe the next update is going to take longer than we'd usually expect. In all honesty, we are almost certain it won't be ready before the end of February, meaning sometime in March is a much more likely timeframe.
As you know, we are a very small team. With the holidays and then two ...

The first Platinum bonus scene of the year is here! The concept for this one is simple: remember that night the MC stayed at Sam’s house during the storm? Well, he got a little excited as Sam was leaning up against him, but nothing happened…
This time, we find out what could have happened. The MC falls asleep (still very excited), and Sam cannot contain her own excitement and decides to give him a little su...

This thing is no joke and we have some struggles, but we are working towards getting better and dealing with it the best way possible.

2022 is almost here, and this crazy year is finally coming to an end. The pandemic creates the illusion that a lot of things are on hold, but a lot has happened in 2021 for the Love-Joint team.
