Lidia
You and Lidia have taken over managing the café at Shale Hill University. Life is calm and routine, but maybe that’s not enough for you, especially after everything that happened.
However, this calm is short-lived. A ghost from the past will soon return to disrupt your lives, and our MC’s past experiences will be crucial in overcoming these new challenges.
Sam
In the alternate ending where you end up with Sam, your political side takes center stage once more. You’ve won the election and become student council president, finishing your term with a perfect track record.
After graduation, as you step into adulthood, you believe that your future doesn’t lie in politics. But fate has a way of bringing things back into our lives, and it just might push you back in that direction.
Valerie
Valerie ended the last chapter of Shale Hill Secrets behind bars. After everything that happened in the game, one of our story’s pivotal characters didn’t make it out unscathed. But our protagonist’s love for her still beats strong.
In this ending, you’ll wait for her release, and once she’s free, she’ll have to rediscover what life is like on the outside. Valerie will face new challenges, and she’ll need you by her side to overcome them.
Bonus Scene
And, along with these three amazing stories, this release also includes a bonus scene (click here to go to the post). In this exclusive, playable scene for Platinum+ Patrons, you’ll have a chance to experience a little adventure with young Kiara for the first time.
And she’s not alone. With an unlikely friend by her side, Kiara will prove that she has plenty to offer our MC—and that sometimes, a college dorm room can host a private party with three guests… Enjoy!
v0.18.2
v0.18.0
In this initial release, you’ll get to explore the extended endings of three of our leading ladies. And get ready, because we’ve made sure to bring you more detailed endings with a little extra storyline than just a few “special scenes”.
With Maggie, as you might expect, the adventure revolves around her troubled family. New events are set to unfold, and our girl will need to muster the strength to balance the challenges of her new career with her family drama.
Haley, on the other hand, is on the rise. Her singing career seems to have taken off, but the tough industry might make things a bit more complicated. Nothing a trip down memory lane and a dose of love can’t fix.
Lastly, you’ll also have the chance to continue with Emily. Here, a new company, focused on leveraging all the expertise of our MC and his friends, promises to shake things up in Shale Hill. Familiar challenges will reappear, but you’ll work together to finally get your happy ending.
Bonus Scene!
In this update, we’re also bringing the playable version of the July bonus scene for our Platinum+ Patrons. As we mentioned earlier, in this scene, you’ll find a “different” path, let’s say, leading to one of the key events at the game’s end.
If you recall Episode 16, we had quite the adventure at the movie theater… Now, how about getting to experience an “alternative” version of that scene? Trust me, it’s going to be a steamy one!
We hope you enjoy it! More to come soon!
v0.17.1
Platinum Gallery Scene:
Genevieve, Valerie’s lackey, is taken to Leah’s room to perform a strip search. After all that happened, one cannot trust the intentions of such a character, right? Well, Leah doesn’t find any bugs on her, but the young woman has another weapon up her sleeve.
v0.17.0
And there were many surprises. As he dove headfirst into an investigation, he gradually realized there was a pattern of bizarre events around him. Friends experienced strange interventions in their lives, attempts were made to ruin their futures, teachers displayed odd behavior, and people went missing.
Well, the MC isn’t an FBI agent or anything like that, but he had special help to dig deeper into this web of lies, schemes, and manipulation. The deeper you go, the wormhole seems endless. Just seems, because it’s time to face the puppet master, the person controlling the whole scheme, and once and for all, determine what your future will be.
Is this the end?
This is the final episode of Shale Hill Secrets. It’s been an incredible journey, but we believe a good story needs a beginning, middle, and end. However, we also know that stories have branches, and that’s why the Shale Hill universe doesn’t end here.
Three projects that extend the world surrounding this story are already in production. Initially, there will be two epilogues, showing a small continuation for the different possible endings of the game.
Additionally, another project, a larger one, is also in development. This one will bring a slightly different gameplay and will present to you a story that happened a few years before Shale Hill Secrets. Stay tuned for more news in the following months!

Initial Release
Developer Notes:
While unravelling what is going on in Shale Hill, you’ll interact with girls that have their own mysteries.
Your friendship with them will grow and may even evolve into something else.
It’s up to you: dedicate yourself to one person or be the player and spread the love around. It’s your choice.
The people of Shale Hill:
Leah
You have a special relationship with Leah, who has been supportive of you your entire life. Gentle on the outside, but unflinching and spirited within, she is a stubborn journalism student who will do anything to reveal to the world the dark truth of Shale Hill.
Sam
You and Sam came from opposite ends of your old school’s pecking order, now by a twist of fate your best friend.
Your quirky, distractible friend seems uncharacteristically melancholy.
What is going on?
Emily
Objectivity and a total focus on success are the main characteristics of Emily. S
he isn’t afraid to make tough decisions, even if this means messing up her relationships with other people.
You’d know.
You’re her ex.
Valerie
Valerie, Student Council President in college as well as your old highschool, still considers you her protege even after you gave it all up. She seems to have a great deal of faith in you, though you can never tell whether she’s joking or flirting.
Haley
Blue hair that shows an adorable defiance.
That’s Haley, a lovely bartender who has dreams way bigger than being behind a counter for the rest of her life.
She has a good ear for others’ problems but no taste for sharing her own.
Maggie
Maggie prefers dealing with animals to people, but over time, she has come to trust you.
Now, this pretty redhead will need to deal with a past that has left her nervous and silent.
Lidia
The impeccable and refined owner of the campus café, Lidia is a well travelled connoisseur of everything that can be roasted and brewed.
But in her travels, she’s brought problems back with her.
Alexis
As Shale Hill’s resident mean girl, Alexis takes her popularity for granted, but she’s not as simple as she seems.
Alexis also considers herself an entrepreneur, and seems undeterred that her business of choice is highly unethical.
Linus
Your colleague and workmate, Linus can be both a comrade and an annoying smug asshole, usually both at the same time.
He’s an unrepentant geek and much more comfortable in the tech world than you are.
Dante
Dante is the ultimate paradoxical Bohemian.
A weird mix of party freak and dependable role model, he’s a hard man to describe, and you don’t really know him unless you meet him.
He dispenses cocktails and wisdom with equal flare, and has his ear to the ground in Shale Hill’s party scene.
Toasterman
Homeless man or superhero?
The answer depends on whether you ask him or anyone else.
One thing is for sure, he does have detective instincts that you don’t have.
It’s wise to listen to what he has to say.
