Game Overview
Welcome to our first game set in the town of Horton Bay! Our main character, Jake (or nickname of your choosing) Rogers, finds himself at the end of his final school year and ready to head off to his local university along with his long term girlfriend and best mate.
That is until everything gets turned on it’s head and forces him to change his plans! Now with seemingly few options, he decides to travel to the other side of the country to the coastal town of Horton Bay, where he can start fresh and try to rebuild a new life for himself!

What's New
- Fixed: When declining to help Lucy home after Yoga Class, no longer sends you into a similar dialogue if Lucy’s corruption points are higher than 10.

Fixed: While on the main objective (37) to ‘Wait a few days', the text no longer disappears after waiting for one day. - Changed: In Roy's bedroom, after skate lessons with Lillie - If Lillie/Roy relationship is high enough (5), after you have sex with Lillie, she will now fall asleep on Roy’s shoulder (as if you chose to wait for him instead of fuck Lillie), with option to wake her or let her rest (waking her prevents Roy/Lillie relationship gain that day).

Developer Notes
2022-04-01
Apologies for the unfinished event this month. The scenes with Carly took an insane amount of time to render out, leaving me with very little time to complete the rest of what I had planned.
If you have been focussing on Gemma's or Adel's arc, or you haven't been working on any of your house mates' relationships, you can still complete Episode 2 as intended. However if you're focussing on Christine, you will need to wait for next month's update to view her scene.
The final scene for each of the girls does not affect their general progression however. So you can still play out which ever scene you like to continue the game as usual.
Next update we'll be tieing off as many loose ends as we can fit in from previous content in preparation for starting Episode 3.
Thanks again for your interest in our first game!
Lumphorn Games is a Husband/Wife team and we've been working on the idea of Horton Bay for a few years at this point, and it's been through several iterations, however this is our first public release.
We've built the actual town ourselves from scratch and also composed and produced all of the music you'll find in game.
There are a few scenes where we've used assets from the Daz store, such as the locations in the intro, the characters themselves and maybe a third of the props in the game. But it's mostly our own work.
The town is about 40% complete at the time of writing this, which is enough for the purposes of this game. However we'll be continuing to exand it throughout the course of Jake, and all of the stories to follow - of which I hope to be many. We already have outlines for several more games that we'll focus on, as this one comes to an end.
The first release of Jake contains not only the prologue, but also the entire first episode! We've done this for a few reasons:
Firstly, we wanted to actually give you guys something to play! For me, there's nothing worse than finding a game that you're interested in and have it stop after 30 minutes of playtime.
Secondly, we wanted to prove that we're serious about the scope that we're promising. This is no small feat and we realise that. At the time of me writing this there are currently 57 locations and over 100 NPC's in the game! That's a lot of story to cover! And that brings us to the third point . . .
We wanted to prove to OURSELVES that we could do it. The amount of work has been insane and we've done it with very little acknowledgment or reward. And after it all, we still want to carry on!
