Overview:
You’re an individual with an exceptional gift for reading people. After experiencing first-hand how much cruelty such a talent can evoke, you took steps to hide your identity and your gift from the eyes of those who would abuse it. Eventually, hiding yourself from the entire world.

However, your resigned contentment with being an outcast is about to be shaken by a very unexpected and slightly concerning invitation...

Welcome to A Better Place – a game, a story, a world where those who feel like outcasts can belong.
Here, you’ll meet various other characters with extraordinary talents and, as luck would have it, they’re all girls! Spend time with them, learn about their past, find out what haunts them, fall in love (or just grow close enough to get physical) and uncover the secret behind your abilities, as well as the heavy price they seem to carry.​

Spoiler: Change-Log

Chapter 4

• 25 new events

That's all I'm saying. Play the chapter to find out the rest.

Chapter 3

• 26 new events (Technically 27, but one is a bit of a cheat)
• The villain shows up for the first time
• You learn a lot more about Shadow
• Two 18+ scenes (One of which is an experimental interactive scene)
• Two new secrets and an old one expanded
• Two rooms received the point-and-click treatment
• New outfits
• Training your talent is now possible (Visit Shadow in the morning asap.)
• 1000+ images again (for those who care about that number)
• Little fixes and code shenanigans no one pays attention to

Chapter 2

• A total of 25 events (compared to the 16 from the previous update)
• Massive insight into the girls’ personalities
• MC finally starts to speak up
• How does Serenity fit in?
• Placeholders for future impactful choices
• Special Christmas party event!
• First test for the new point-and-click interaction system (very big for future content)
• New Christmas outfit for every girl, plus a few extra
• Two 18+ scenes
• Two secrets
• Some new music (what little my budget allowed)
• Added shorter versions for all the repeating events
• The “!!!!!!!” is now a must to trigger “Omniscience”, fixing an event flow issue
• Added an alternate version for “One Time Special Offer”, so you can get the event even if you miss the secret
• Fixed a bunch of minor issues no one reported, but I found while going through the code

Chapter 1

• A lot of story! (Less events, but they're longer)
• 2 new trauma scenes
• 2 new 18+ scenes (one with 3 variants)
• You'll encounter characters and events a lot more often now
• The hint system has been changed into a full on walkthrough
• 3 new secrets
• Vague hints added to secrets
• Refined outfit system
• Events not being completed is now fixed, but you will have to start a new game if you had this problem. Sorry

Prologue
Initial Release

Spoiler: Dev Notes

I had to update Renpy to fix a save compatibility issue. Everything seems fine, but if you run into anything weird, let me know.

Chapter 4 took a lot longer to do, partly because my actual job got in the way and also because some early writing mistakes made it hard to bring the story back to where I wanted it. That's why I decided to make the next update an "intermission". There will be a lot of QoL, rewriting and streamlining. It's not gonna be a full on remake where I redo the art etc, so please no "see you in a year" comments

From what I understand this is going through a rewrite right now so the dev note snark about "see you in a year" came true as the last update was last year.
