Hi! Really Excited For The Update

Hi! Really excited for the update <3 I found The In Between a few days ago and I love it so much. Just wanted to ask, is the update patreon only at the minute and if so, when does everyone else get access to it? Thank you! ❤️

Hi! Yes, Chapter 10 is in Early Access. It will be free to read in a couple of week or so—it isn't the same every month, but you can always check the current #roadmap on my blog or on Patreon (for free, of course!).

Thank you for your nice words, I'm glad you're enjoying it!

Any news on the character list in the in between? I'm taking notes for myself but it would be nice to have it in game, like in the menu or something

Good news for you! The character list is almost finished, and in fact, it will be accessible from the stats menu starting from the Chapter 10 update ☺

(Entries will be unlocked as you encounter each character, so don't worry if you can't see all of them at once!)

Thanks for the compliment! You have no idea how happy I am that you're enjoying it ♥

Yes, hunger and thirst deaths will be implemented in the game, but for now, I'm treating them as potential issues just in case, lol.

So, if you don't drink and your thirst is maxed out, it's normal for MC to die. However, there's a bug with Dashingdon where, when you save and reload, sometimes your hunger and thirst levels stay the same as they were before you loaded. This means that if you reload to a point where your thirst wasn't as high, but you didn't drink before saving, MC might still die during the next stat check because the values didn't reset properly.

I'm working on an internal soft save system for the game, so I hope to fix this problem sooner rather than later!

Just came to say I died from thirst unu, I WAS JUST TRYING TO NOT GET MY SLEEP TO LOW!! ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ (I reached this before meeting Rain)

I am a good little kid who listens to the game they had been playing non stop for 3hs

Thank you for bringing this to my attention! Sometimes bugs are a little tricky, so I always need to check this kind of death scenes.

Questions, questions:

Were you getting your MC to drink water? If so, how much?

Did you save and reload this game before you died?

The time off from writing is over. Back to The In-Between...

Hey, I was curious, Could you tell us some fun facts about yourself? Not to be nosey, and of course if you are not comfortable in doing so please don’t feel pressured. But reading through some of the questions you answered you come across as a very interesting person 😁 like why you went to Italy? How fluent are you in Italian et. Thank you 🤗

Hi! Thanks for the question, but I'm afraid my answer will disappoint you, haha. I'm Italian and I'm a native Italian speaker ☺

I’m not really sure what to say about myself, but since you asked for something fun, here’s a random funny story.

A few years ago, on a November evening, I was at a bar in Dublin enjoying a pint of Guinness. It was raining outside (no surprise here), and they were showing a derby match on TV. I was just minding my own business when a middle-aged guy dressed like a cowboy sat down next to me. No, I’m not joking. He was dressed like a cowboy in the movies—hat, boots, and a big leather belt. His hair was more grey than black, but he didn’t seem to care. He tipped his hat, winked at me, and tried to chat me up.

Yep, you read that right. A cowboy-dressed dude tried to hit on me in a bar in Dublin, Ireland.

On a scale of 1 to 10 how realistic is After Dark going to be? Like personal hygiene, their smell (☠️), monthly cycles, other illnesses/sickness that characters could get?

This is a very specific question, and I've been thinking about it too without a clear answer. When does one go too far?

There are the issue of sunburn, the starting malus, and problems from not having enough pills or cigarettes. At one point, they even joke about their smell, and Abby mentions the diaper situation (if the baby is alive).

I can't really go further than that, though. Still, we can assume they take care of their needs wherever they are (preferably without others watching), and the pills they find include things that can help when they’re not feeling well.
