N/A
v0.18.8
Just like in the previous epilogues, you’ll get to explore an extended ending for our hero. This time you chose a different path and, even though you experienced some romances throughout Shale Hill Secrets, you decided not to end up with any of the girls. Well, does that mean a dull and lonely life? Not if your friend Dante has anything to say about it.

Hey everyone, how’s it going?
We’re excited to announce that the third chapter of the epilogues is now available for download for all our Gold+ Patrons on Windows, macOS, and Android.
Just like in the previous epilogues, you’ll get to explore the extended endings for another two of our leading ladies – and in this one, two of the most wanted ones: the alternative route with Valerie and the future life you’ll get with Leah.
“But hey, didn’t you guys say it was going to be three endings per epilogue?” Yep, and the third and different ending of this episode is not coming today. It needed a final polish and we prefer to do it and deliver a great gaming experience than delivering something we are not happy with. But don’t worry, it comes next week – we’ll keep you posted!
Leah
Leah, that fire to seek the truth, justice, will never go out. Thus, your life alongside her will be intense – and with already known enemies. Characters from the past will return to be part of this story and… well, the fight continues!
Alternative ending with Valerie
If you chose to take command of the Fraternity and decided that, alongside Valerie, you will pursue the path of power at any cost, get ready. If the political path is set, it may be that a very important person will make you have to deviate from your perfect plan to solve some “problems”.
The “other” epilogue
Surprise! What do you think it is?

v0.18.3
In this second release, you’ll get to explore the extended endings for another three of our leading ladies. Just like in the first Epilogue, this isn’t just about a steamy scene; it’s a mini storyline that brings more fun and depth to each conclusion. So, who will you end up with this time?
Lidia
You and Lidia have taken over managing the café at Shale Hill University. Life is calm and routine, but maybe that’s not enough for you, especially after everything that happened.
However, this calm is short-lived. A ghost from the past will soon return to disrupt your lives, and our MC’s past experiences will be crucial in overcoming these new challenges.
Sam
In the alternate ending where you end up with Sam, your political side takes center stage once more. You’ve won the election and become student council president, finishing your term with a perfect track record.
After graduation, as you step into adulthood, you believe that your future doesn’t lie in politics. But fate has a way of bringing things back into our lives, and it just might push you back in that direction.
Valerie
Valerie ended the last chapter of Shale Hill Secrets behind bars. After everything that happened in the game, one of our story’s pivotal characters didn’t make it out unscathed. But our protagonist’s love for her still beats strong.
In this ending, you’ll wait for her release, and once she’s free, she’ll have to rediscover what life is like on the outside. Valerie will face new challenges, and she’ll need you by her side to overcome them.
Bonus Scene
And, along with these three amazing stories, this release also includes a bonus scene (click here to go to the post). In this exclusive, playable scene for Platinum+ Patrons, you’ll have a chance to experience a little adventure with young Kiara for the first time.
And she’s not alone. With an unlikely friend by her side, Kiara will prove that she has plenty to offer our MC—and that sometimes, a college dorm room can host a private party with three guests… Enjoy!
v0.18.2
Platinum Bonus Scene: Sandra – The Party
v0.18.0
Hey everyone, how’s it going?
In this initial release, you’ll get to explore the extended endings of three of our leading ladies. And get ready, because we’ve made sure to bring you more detailed endings with a little extra storyline than just a few “special scenes”.
With Maggie, as you might expect, the adventure revolves around her troubled family. New events are set to unfold, and our girl will need to muster the strength to balance the challenges of her new career with her family drama.
Haley, on the other hand, is on the rise. Her singing career seems to have taken off, but the tough industry might make things a bit more complicated. Nothing a trip down memory lane and a dose of love can’t fix.
Lastly, you’ll also have the chance to continue with Emily. Here, a new company, focused on leveraging all the expertise of our MC and his friends, promises to shake things up in Shale Hill. Familiar challenges will reappear, but you’ll work together to finally get your happy ending.
Bonus Scene!
In this update, we’re also bringing the playable version of the July bonus scene for our Platinum+ Patrons. As we mentioned earlier, in this scene, you’ll find a “different” path, let’s say, leading to one of the key events at the game’s end.
If you recall Episode 16, we had quite the adventure at the movie theater… Now, how about getting to experience an “alternative” version of that scene? Trust me, it’s going to be a steamy one!
We hope you enjoy it! More to come soon!
v0.17.0
And there were many surprises. As he dove headfirst into an investigation, he gradually realized there was a pattern of bizarre events around him. Friends experienced strange interventions in their lives, attempts were made to ruin their futures, teachers displayed odd behavior, and people went missing.
Well, the MC isn’t an FBI agent or anything like that, but he had special help to dig deeper into this web of lies, schemes, and manipulation. The deeper you go, the wormhole seems endless. Just seems, because it’s time to face the puppet master, the person controlling the whole scheme, and once and for all, determine what your future will be.
Is this the end?
This is the final episode of Shale Hill Secrets. It’s been an incredible journey, but we believe a good story needs a beginning, middle, and end. However, we also know that stories have branches, and that’s why the Shale Hill universe doesn’t end here.
Three projects that extend the world surrounding this story are already in production. Initially, there will be two epilogues, showing a small continuation for the different possible endings of the game.
Additionally, another project, a larger one, is also in development. This one will bring a slightly different gameplay and will present to you a story that happened a few years before Shale Hill Secrets. Stay tuned for more news in the following months!
