The Megapatch now has a developer-estimated ETA of 2027, with a more exact date still unannounced. This announcement reports development progress; it is not a new patch available to players. The developer promises that the next update news post will announce the Megapatch’s exact release date.
Future Fragments’ forthcoming flowcharts address a practical problem: keeping track of choices across what the developer describes as thousands of cutscene variants. After finishing a Node, players will be able to scroll through its encountered cutscene events and inspect the results, choices and variables involved. Anything players haven't seen yet will be covered with “????”, showing whether there are variants they missed without spoiling them. Players will also be able to consult variants seen on previous playthroughs.
The displayed flowchart is a mockup: its programming is in and working, but the developer is still deciding on its finalized look. Choices will gain summaries of the question or current situation above the available responses. Faye’s scenes will also identify which choice will improve or ruin the relationship with her.
A New Route to True Endings
The forthcoming “22nd Ending” will unlock all other “True” Endings when reached. Its unlock method will involve achieving Faux and “True” endings, although what players find during a run could allow access on their first playthrough. The developer says it will be automatically achieved after completing the game four times at most, and Save Pads can be used to achieve multiple completions.
When players leave for another Node, the last auto-save for the Node they just left will remain in its own secured save slot. Completing a Node will unlock its animations, except for the special POV animation, which will require 5 Achievements per Node.
Work on the remaining core storyline is still unfinished, even though the newly described cutscenes have been voiced and implemented internally.
