Final version of the game is here!


And here it is, the final build of BAM!

So, what’s new?

- A new ending* (~10k words) full of revelations: you can now pick the previously grayed out choice.

- A new cut-in graphic drawn by the wonderful Luciam

- 25 new lines of voice acting. (Yes my friends, more daddy Lucius and sassy MC for you!)

- A new music track

- New accessibility feature (possibility to change the text for OpenDyslexic)

- 15 news achievement to unlock (steam only)

Normally, all saves are compatible, just make sure to reload the game a bit before the final choice otherwise the choice might stay gray if you reload the exact moment.

Finally, I want to say a big thanks to Abiding Bridge for agreeing on publishing the game for us on steam and helping me with the administrative hell it is.

And that’s all!

Unless there is a need for a patch, the adventure ends here as we are all focusing on different projects.

Thank you so much for playing the game and leaving us all those kind reviews. Know that I read all of them and they always warm our heart, I can’t wait to read the news ones <3

*Wudge wrote most of the ending, but unfortunately, her health prevented them from finishing it in a reasonable time-frame so I stepped up and wrote the epilogue myself with the notes we discussed together. The good news is you might actually have more BAM in the future, because I know they planed to write extras when they feel better, maybe you will get a Wudge's cut epilogue one day, feel free to follow them <3

I loved it! Like my grandpappy always said, "Blessed is the love that comes from contempt". (I mean he probably said that I never met the guy)

But seriously, fantastic work! You and your team crafted not only wonderful compelling (and beautifully drawn) characters but also a beautiful story and a lore-rich world and really pleasant and fitting music. I've been playing VNs since I was a kid and a lot of the time, the romance seems really forced. Here, the depictions of intimacy feel realistic and the pacing was really nice. Love it when folks can write about intimate moments without it immediately being physical intimacy, I don't mind a good spicy scene but I think it can get kind of one-note after that.

You put your ENTIRE foot in this, and I can't wait to play anything you have a hand (foot) in next! Thanks so much for all your hard work!!

Soooo good! Really glad I waited to play this game until the final endings/last part of the story were released. If I had played it only with the Bliss endings, especially the vampire one, I would have been devastated. The Freedom endings are definitely much happier. In my opinion, I prefer the vampire ending over the human one, because I just can't leave Lucius alone after Abigail dies. :')
