v0.12 is done!

Hello everyone! The next update of Hazelnut Latte is ready for a more formal release! After a few weeks of testing, we believe we have ironed out all the kinks for this build.

Note that this is not the full Episode 6, as we have stated in our Roadmap post that you can check out.  This build is the first part of Episode 6! It has new scenes for Vera and Hazel and formally introduces newcomers Tay and Maki!

We also introduce a new minigame where you can earn money for yourself, along with the ability to unlock repeatable lewd scenes for Hazel & Vera.

We need to implement more systems, but this is the first step to improving the free-roaming simulation aspect.

If something breaks, please restart your game. I know it's a hassle, but as the game is not in a finished state, things will alter and break. Remember to hold CTRL to skip past dialogue and click the same choices to get back to where you were.

Backer Guided Code:

If you are a $20+ Backer, the code in the older posts will work for every version of v0.12.2 onwards. A new one will be generated for v0.13.

So, I hope you all enjoy the newest build of my game!

And remember, you are all my beta testers! If something is broken, message me on Patreon or Discord.

Release Schedule

Each tier will get its own post with its own download links. Please do not distribute these builds to others; post them around. Kokman, Noba, Koth, and I worked hard to bring this update to you <3
