Blush Interactive released a new game called Extra Credit and the version is 0.4.7. The game’s story is about Your lease ended. The rent was cheap. So you said yes to a stranger’s spare room. Extra Credit is a first-person story game about moving in with a family you’ve never met: Elena, Marcus, and their two daughters, Sienna and Maya. The plan is simple. Save up, get your own place, stay out of everyone’s way. It doesn’t stay that simple.
v0.4.7
- Maya’s and Sienna’s stories open up, you meet new faces, two new places are on the map, the whole house runs on a weekly timetable, and Maya has the game’s first sexual scene.
WARNING: !!!SPOILERS!!!
Maya’s first intimate scene
- Get close to Maya while you tutor her, and she might find her way into your dreams that night. A Dream is the game’s first sexual scene: fully animated, in a soft, pink, dreamlike light, with its own sounds. You’ll find it by
- going to bed at night after The Tutor… if the two of you got close enough.
- It’s the first of many. Every main character’s story is building toward scenes like this one.
- It was a fun (and difficult) experience. But I feel like it was a good stepping stone personally to evolve this game to what I think it can become.
New story
Maya
- Kitchen Standoff: the last of the coffee, a yogurt she guards like a state secret, and a 9 a.m. lecture she’s late for.
- Lecture Blues: a midterm in two weeks, and she understands nothing.
- The Tutor: study night on the edge of her bed, books everywhere, and a moment that gets a little too close.
- The Photo: a faked photo of Maya is going around every group chat on campus. Find her by the vending machines.
Sienna
- Sneaking Out: come down for a glass of water late at night and catch her at the front door, club dress on, heels in hand.
- Night Shift: drop by Oakhaven Fuel on her evening shift. A regular called Dale won’t leave her alone.
- Cover Story: the morning after, Elena wants to know where Sienna was. Do you cover for her?
- Elena now has everyday things to say between tasks, and all her scenes were re-animated and re-timed.
New faces
- Luna: Maya’s classmate. Purple streaks, black lace, and the A-line lob you voted for on Patreon. You meet her in The Photo.
- Dana: Elena’s best friend, now with her own look. You run into her at the store in Grocery Run.
- Dale: a gas station regular who doesn’t know when to leave. You’ll see him in Night Shift. (No model yet)
- Dana and Luna get their own stories starting in 0.4.8. Their “Coming soon” cards are already in your Tasks app.
Changed from the last build
- Grocery Run: Elena hands you a list. Find the milk, the coffee and the tuna onigiri in the store, bring them back to her, and then Dana shows up. No more walking up to Elena and having it all happen at once. (Still needs polishing)
- Sneaking Out: Sienna is already at the front door when you come down the stairs, instead of appearing once the scene starts.
- Small Repair and Night Shift: Elena and Sienna are already waiting where the scene happens.
- The opening: Maya’s greeting at the door is smoother. She steps out from behind the door frame properly.
- Talking to people: people look at whoever is speaking, hands are calmer while they talk, and nobody snaps across the room when a scene ends. (Don’t quote me on this either)
- Hundreds of smaller animation fixes, from playtesting and from an automatic check of every scene.
New places
- (Most places have bad surroundings and indications on how to get back home, just walk back from where you came and aim at the void/wall)
- Oakhaven College: the campus hallway, lockers and vending machines, and the lecture hall. Closed at night.
- Oakhaven Fuel: the gas station on Route 9 where Sienna works. Open all night.
- Both are on the travel map behind the front door. The map now shows who is where, with each person’s contact picture, so you can see where Elena or Maya is before you go looking.
The house has a week now
- Everyone follows a weekly timetable: classes, work shifts, errands, naps, the couch, the garage. Elena goes out shopping twice a week, Sienna works evenings and graveyard shifts, and Maya has campus days.
- Everyone showers a few times a week, one at a time, and the bathroom door says “Occupied” while they do.
- Outfits follow what people are doing: Sienna’s gas station uniform at work, her club dress going out, Maya in her school clothes on campus.
- Some tasks only happen on certain days of the week. The Tasks app tells you which.
Clothes and the wardrobe
- Clothes are items in your bag. You start with your casual clothes and a set of Oakhaven College school clothes.
- The wardrobe in your room lets you pick what to wear.
- Campus won’t let you in unless you’re in your school clothes.
Looks and sound
- Moonlit nights: after dark the house turns a soft moonlit blue.
- Mood colours: tender scenes turn warm and rosy, sad ones go grey and cold.
- A soundtrack: two everyday tracks while you play, and a new piece under the sad moments. (Still waiting for more since the ones I have now doesn’t fit everywhere.)
- A new player body, a little taller, with every shared scene re-animated for it.
- New outfits: school uniforms for Maya and Luna, Sienna’s club dress and work uniform.
Known issues
- Sienna leaves through the front door on a fade-out: the front door can’t swing open yet.
- Maya can look a bit washed out under the campus hallway lights.
- Elena’s hair can poke through her top.
- Found something else? Tell me in the comments OR the new discord!. Every bug report helps.
Settle into the house
Explore a warm, lived-in family home in first person. Talk to the people living there, help out around the house and find your place in a family that isn’t yours… yet. The house changes with the time of day, from morning sun in the kitchen to lamps glowing late at night.
Get to know them
Every character has their own personality, schedule and story. Maya can’t stop talking, Elena keeps the whole house running, and Sienna… you’ll see. They react to you with real expressions: blushing, laughing, pouting, and sometimes stealing a look when they think you’re not watching.
Your phone, your days
Keep track of the day, your tasks with each character, your money and the shop, all from your phone. Head out from the front door to other places around town, like Sibling Mart, the corner store that never closes.
Getting closer
As you grow closer to the people in the house, some evenings get a lot cozier.
