The confirmed timeline

| Chapter 1 release | July 2025 | itch.io game page; exact day from VNDB, not a devlog |
| Chapter 2 release ("Creepydates CHAPTER 2 — AVAILABLE NOW") | 13 October 2025 | itch.io devlog |
| Chapter 2 fixes: Jeff's broken sprite, the disappearing-jacket bug | October 2025 | Chapter 2 devlog |

| Chapter 3 release date announced ("CHAPTER 3 release date" devlog) | 24 February 2026 | itch.io devlog |
| Chapter 3 release | 15 May 2026 | Chapter 3 devlog |
| Chapter 3 hotfix: crash after a Laughing Jack conversation | Hours after release | itch.io devlog / comments |
| Chapter 4 date announced ("CREEPYDATES chapter 4: october 25") | 25 October, year unstated | Hahadit's Tumblr — no devlog yet |
| Chapters 5–6, NSFW DLC, extra routes after the main story | Planned | Developer answer: "5 or 6 chapters maybe (+ nsfw dlc and also i will add more routes after the game is done)" |
Two patterns worth noting: Chapter 3's date was announced in a dedicated devlog first and the chapter then shipped on that date — so she hits announced dates. And the Chapter 4 announcement so far exists only on Tumblr, which is why the Chapter 4 status page treats it as announced-but-unconfirmed until a devlog appears.
Where official information actually comes from
Four official channels exist, and everything on this page traces to one of them:
- itch.io devlogs — where chapter releases and patches are announced. The most recent devlog is the Chapter 3 release.
- Hahadit's Tumblr — where the Chapter 4 date was posted, and where release-date replies to players have come from.
- The itch.io comment thread — where she answers gameplay questions directly, including the "will Masky and Hoodie be split" and total-chapter-count answers.
- The bug report form — linked from the store page, and the channel she asks players to use for problems.
Anything else — aggregator sites, AI-written walkthroughs, YouTube descriptions — is at best secondhand. The site's own policy is to only publish what traces to these channels or to recorded gameplay, and to mark the rest as unconfirmed.
How to verify your build is current
The current build covers Chapters 1 to 3, and the store page lists approximate download sizes that double as a quick version check: roughly 368 MB for PC, 361 MB for Mac and 388 MB for Android. Chapter 3 is a substantially bigger build than its predecessors, so a download that looks too small is probably an old or unofficial copy.
To update: download the current file from the official itch.io page, install it over your existing copy, and your saves carry over — chapters are add-ons, in the developer's own words. If a chapter shows as locked after updating, load your most recent save. And beware mirrors: there is no Chapter 4 build anywhere, so any APK or download claiming "Chapter 4 early access" is not distributing this game. More detail lives on the itch.io guide.
