As of May 26, 2023, brand-new Episode III content is available to play on Wayfarer’s alpha build.
✦ Overview
Part 1 includes 5 playable routes based on your Episode II ending. They are: Aeran’s romance reconciliation, Aeran’s friendship reconciliation, breaking off your MC’s friendship or romance with Aeran at the apartment, Aeran’s low romance (if you do not go to Melchior’s party), and Sleeping with Veyer.
Other routes, such as Melchior's and Kit’s endings, as well as the drunk route are under construction and not available at this time.

A mission going ahead, whether you like it or not
Boat rides
Promises made (or not made) to a questionable person
Reckless and unchecked behaviour
Obliterate your relationships (or try to save them)

Consequences for your actions and dialogue options
Always remember: you can always make things worse. Whether this is a good thing or not is up to you.
A huge thank you to my patrons for supporting me over the past year while I developed this next section of the game. I hope you all enjoy it.
Episode III will remain a Patreon exclusive until Episode IV is developed and released. You can play it by supporting me at any tier through on my Patreon at patreon.com/idrellegames.
Wayfarer’s next public build patch will release next Monday on May 29, 2023. Patch 2.6. will fix a number of ongoing bugs and issues.
All players must start their playthroughs fresh with a new save once the patch releases, otherwise they will encounter continuity and approval errors.
To fully test Episode III’s new material, I am expanding Wayfarer’s playtester team. If playtesting is of interest to you, please check out the information below.
✦ What Does Playtesting Entail?
Playtesters play the alpha build in search of bugs, continuity errors, and typos. They are essentially an extra set of eyes on the game for new content. They get updates and patches before anyone else does.
Because Wayfarer’s gameplay includes hundreds of choices and many, many variations that build on each other, playing multiple times and checking out different options is essential for testing to make sure each area of the game functions as intended.
✦ Details
You must be 18+.
Playtesting is a volunteer position.
You will be credited in-game as a playtester (this is opt-in).
You must have an active Discord account.
All communication with the playtesting team is done through a private playtester Discord server. You must be willing to be active in that part of the server and submit your bug reports through the designated channels. I do not accept playtester bug reports through any other method.
Playtesting is not free access to alpha content. If you are not active and do not contribute to bug reporting, you will be removed from the playtester role.
You must keep the playtester build link and password private. As a playtester, you are trusted not to share the alpha build’s content. Breaching these terms will terminate your role as a playester and you will be banned from all of Wayfarer's platforms and social media.
If at any point you are no longer interested or do not have the time to be involved, you can opt out, no questions asked!
You must be available to playtest throughout the summer as I develop the next stage of Episode III.
✦ Application Form
Your answers on the application form are kept strictly confidential.
The form is open until June 9, 2023. I will contact chosen playtesters via email by June 11, 2023.
To apply, see the application link below:

Hey gang :) wonderful news! I am one more scene (and a few inevitable rewrites/bug fixes) away from finishing chapter two of Skin and Scales! 🎉🎉
That means it’s time for the beta testers forum to come around again, and this time I’ve changed my mistakes from last time and edited the page a bit! I’m going to need many more hands on deck this time around, and I hope you consider joining the team!
Applications will be open for a few weeks (3-4 estimated), and before you join, please make sure you’ll have the time and energy to do so! I’m looking for testers who can be patient and can properly communicate with me, so give it a shot if you’re interested! Reblogs, as always, are appreciated!
Apply here!
Reminder that this story touches on some very sensitive subjects, so please be aware of the content warnings and possible expansions of these warnings before you sign up! Taking care of yourself should be the number one priority!

I'll be so honest and say that it can be extremely hard to post devotional art. Sometimes people think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread, and other times, they could give less of a shit. Honestly, it's so discouraging that every time I've posted devotional art, only, like, ten people seem to care. It makes me not want to post devotional art, and I can't imagine that I'm the only one who feels this way.
Let's just be more supportive of the artists in the Helpol community in general because I'm starting to think the reason we may not see devotional art as often (I don't, at least) is not due to a lack of art to see but due to a lack of support for those artists and their work instead.
Posting devotional anything is scary, sharing your personal practice or feelings with random strangers online. It honestly makes it so much worse when no one seems to give a shit. So, if you see a small artist or beginner artist posting their devotional art, please give them a like and reblog. You could make their whole day.
