FAQs:

When is the next update? Update when?

We usually create a new game version every two to three months. If no release dates have been posted, the next build will not have an exact date.

When will the next free version come out?

v0.11.7 was the last free version with new content. There will be a v0.11.8 in January/February 2025 that will fix bugs, add some new content to earlier episodes, and improve play. But there will be no major content updates available for free anymore.

When will the game be released on Steam?

When we hit v1.0, this will likely take a few years.

Will the game ever go into Early Access?

One day, yes, but there are stipulations first. We will not be doing a Steam Early Access. My publisher and I will discuss it once we get halfway done with the game. So, around Episode 12.

As for Itch.io, Early Access will happen sooner. We must finish Episode 6 and then publish an Alpha of Episode 7 for backers. Then, we will have early access to purchase on Itch, which will be updated for every episode. So, Episode 6, then 7, and so on.

How much will Early Access be?

We are planning on charging $10 to $15. That price will likely rise every couple of episodes as more content is added.

Will the finished game be on mobile?

When we finish the game, you will be able to purchase the Android version from Itch.io. You can also use Steam Remote Play to play your Steam copy on your phone. It will not be an official game on the Play Store.

Can I play the game on my iPhone?

No, Apple only allows authorized apps to be used on their devices, and they don't authorize porn games.

Has this game been abandoned?

No, this is my full-time job.

How many Episodes/Chapters will the game have?

We plan to do 24 Episodes with a post-final build, Episode 25.

Can the player character be a femboy too?

No, the story is written from the perspective of a cis man who gets his horizons broadened. Making the player character trans/gender non-conforming would completely alter the story and how Isaac views every event in the game.

Can I change how the player character looks?

As nice as this would be, the amount of work involved would be massive. It would require a complete rework of the game, redoing every lewd scene and animation to account for every possible combination. It would cost a fortune to start and then upkeep.

What is the bathroom door code?

Hazel tells you a few lines before you need to enter the code. Go back or look at the dialogue history.

Is Dave going to be a romanceable main love interest?

No, he is not.

Will there ever be a hint system for missing scenes?

No, there will not. The game is designed to be replayed and for each playthrough to feel different. Including a hint system goes against what we are trying to do.

Conclusion:

Hazelnut Latte is a hand-drawn graphic and very, very frank visual project with a well-developed system of choosing actions. So fans of personal participation in the main character's decision-making will be satisfied with what they get in the game. Events unfold in the space of a coffee shop and around it. Where one day the protagonist meets a barista and starts a relationship with him. Well, and then everything depends on the participants themselves. Which path they will take, what they will choose and who, and also gamers will determine how the story itself will end. Which will have a lot of options for endings.
