Future Fragments Release FAQ (copied from Discord)

When is the game releasing?

• February 22nd, 2024, on Steam and Itch first, and then other platforms sometime shortly thereafter.

I don't want the game on Steam, because I don't want my friends and family seeing me playing the game.

• Good news: you can make any games you own, your playtime, and current activity private in the Steam Beta Client! (accessible at https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/276C-85A0-C531-AFA3)
• https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/593110/view/3901870709962551195 has more info on the new privacy features.

Is the game censored on Steam?

• No, there's no censored content on Steam.

What other platforms do you eventually plan to get the game on, after Steam?

• Nutaku, JAST, Denpasoft, FAKKU, DLsite, and many, many others.

What about physical copies of the game?

• We plan to do this as well, sometime in the future.

Is there any DLC planned for the game?

• Yes; there'll be a Safe For Work mode, speedrun mode, level editor, a handful of new cutscenes, extra functionality, bugfixes, free "challenge" maps, and more.
• All DLC will be free.

Will the Safe For Work mode be ready for the game at launch?

• No, it'll take some time to do post-release, because we need to make entirely new cutscenes for it.
• This is because we're not just blurring nudity or something similar for SFW mode; NSFW gets removed entirely if you toggle this on.

How many endings does the game have?

• 21 unique "true endings", 9 variants of the "bad ending", and lots of secret events.

That seems like a lot; do you really expect people to play the game that many times?

• No; while we expect some people will play it many times, the game was designed with the expectation that players will only play a single time through.
• The high amount of endings / cutscenes isn't there because we expect players to see or grind them all out; they're there to give each player a unique run and for their choices to matter.

Why don't you give Steam keys to Patreon backers from Germany and China? (They're blocked on Steam from NSFW content.)

• This could be taken by Steam as trying to circumvent their rules, and the last thing we want to do is that.
• Instead, we'll send backers from Germany and China a key on a different platform if they'd like.

Will the game have a downloadable soundtrack?

• The soundtrack will be ready at release, and available both on Steam and Patreon.

Is the game Steam Deck compatible?

• People have tested it on there without any issues, as far as I know.

What social media sites are you on?

• Here's a complete list; http://linktr.ee/hentaiwriter

Is there a free demo for the game?

• Yep, over at Steam at https://store.steampowered.com/app/1238920/Future_Fragments and on Itch at https://hentaiwriter.itch.io/futurefragments.

How do I remap controls, change graphical options, check Ideal amounts, and so on while playing?

• Press ESC at any time during gameplay, or the Start button on your controller.

Where did the other FAQ go?

• Right here; Patreon only lets us pin one post at a time.
