- PART 4 PROGRESSION + STORE PAGE ART UPDATE - 5 September 2026
I regularly share news and teasers and art on the Discord server, but I’ve been thinking that perhaps I should also post some of them on my Steam page too, instead of posting only about big updates. I just don’t want to flood the main page with small posts and unimportant news. So this will be like a big summary of them.But if you want more don’t hesitate to join the Discord! For those who missed it, Part 3 of Five Stages of Pink came out a few months ago! Here’s the entire post about it.I’ve been working on part 4 since then. But with my busy life it got slower and slower. Sorry for the wait. I’m so so excited because this part’s story is really emotion heavy, a lot of tension and sadness and family drama. I can’t wait for you guys to experience it. PART 4 PROGRESSION: Script/Dialogue - 90%Art - 40%New soundtracks (2) - 20%Game coding - 10% I wish I could show you guys teaser images fo…
- PART 3 OFFICIAL RELEASE - 1 June 2026
A NEW STORY PART is finally out!! Five Stages of Pink is truly back! For those who didn’t follow every news in the Discord, I’ll share all the important info here before you play: SHOULD YOU REPLAY PART 1 AND 2?To old players of FSOP, in case you didn’t know already, the first two parts have been greatly improved! (Here’s the Steam post listing all the improvements and new additions). If it’s been a very long time since you played them, I highly suggest you replay part 1 and 2 before continuing with part 3! This is the type of game that has a LOT of info, you can be very confused and very lost if you forgot most of the story/context/mysteries, and it definitely won't be enjoyable for you. But I can’t force you, I understand if you don’t have the time or the wish to replay. WARNINGFriendly reminder of these warnings, re-read them again before continuing. And I’m talking about both sides.…
- Five Stages of Pink PART 3 RELEASE in a few days! - 27 May 2026
It’s actually happening!! A NEW STORY PART is coming in a few days!!PART 3 of Five Stages of Pink will be released either the 31 of May, or during next week!This is just a small post to announce this awesome news. I have a few important things to say for the project and the future, but I realized that it’s best if I keep it all in one big post for the day of the release. I don’t want to keep sending people to read older posts each time I post here.So I guess I’ll see you very soon! I’m so excited!!EARLY ACCESS ?This project used to have an early access system, but since it's been so long I'm not even sure how to re-implement that with old players who supported/helped/won an early access years ago... Maybe for this time only (for the big return) there won't be an Early Access. I'm at a point where I just want to FINALLY publish part 3 and let everyone play at the same time. People have w…
- Five Stages of Pink has been improved! - 30 January 2026
Five Stages of Pink has been improved! This is not a new story part (but it’s coming soon!). It’s weird to call this a small update, but it kinda is in a way, even if quite a LOT changed. This is the better version I talked about in my previous post. I highly suggest you read it if you haven’t, it’s very important. It talks about what happened since the last update years ago, my very serious return on this project and my future goals! This improved version took longer to finish than I originally planned, it’s because I ended up adding many things! I’ll list them here.(All of these were talked about in more details in the Discord server in the teaser channel if you want to read/join)WHAT CHANGED IN THIS IMPROVED VERSION?* The BIGGEST and most important reason for this improved version to exist to begin with: Fix the huge pacing issues. Those who played the previous version might have enj…
- NEWS ABOUT FIVE STAGES OF PINK 2025 - 31 May 2025
This post is all about good news, don’t worry! Just like many people said in my Discord server, I really needed to make a big post for all my social media about what’s been going on with the game since the last update. First, here’s the very VERY short version in a message I wrote recently: Then the more detailed answer: I’ve actually been “”very”” active on my Discord and posted many small updates about the progress and what was my goal with the game and my life situation etc, but I never took the time to properly make posts on my other socials because I felt guilty of not posting any BIG update about the game itself. So I’m truly sorry to all the people who weren’t on the Discord and were expecting any news this whole time. I’m gonna try to explain what’s been going on for the last 2 years with the game and my life. Just know that you can read the older and more detailed posts on my D…
- French corrections - 1 November 2022
Minor French translation corrections / Correction de la traduction française. Thank you Streekay for the proofreading in French and thank you RangerCoco for the proofreading in English.
- PART 2 OFFICIAL RELEASE ! - 30 October 2022
It's finally out ! Enjoy ! This part ends exactly where I initially intended the 'true Demo' to end. It's a very important ending point to understand where this story is going. If you want to be updated for the future of this game, don't hesitate to Follow me on Twitter or Join the Discord ! Author's note : With how little time I have to work on this game, I have decided to concentrate on promoting the game instead of 'just' working on it because it won't be good in the long run if I can't have a decent audience following this project. So expect to see me work on very short bonus games (in the same universe/story) that I'll release on Itchio to promote the main game. For example : I want to make a short game about the kidnapping of Timor and how it happened in his house !
- PART 2 EARLY ACCESS OUT ! - 23 September 2022
For those who don't know, I've decided to release an early version before the True Release of the next part, because this is an ONLY ENGLISH version without the french translation and without a beta read. So instead of waiting 1 or 2 months more for me to finish these tasks, I decided to give a limited access to an early version for my English players. And then I'll take either 1 month or 2 to finish the translation and let a beta reader correct errors I missed. So the TRUE RELEASE might take 1 month minimum to be out, I stopped giving dates because of how awfully unpredictable my side job is. This part was supposed to be out in June, that's insane to me. Here's how to access this early version : I already made a raffle on my DISCORD to make a player win an Early Access, join me there for future raffles and info ! The other way to get it : Check the ‘SECRETS’ section on my PATREON page…
- NEWS about Part 2 (Early Access !) + Bonus content (Jam) - 30 July 2022
Hey ! Very important things about the next Part and Early Access you can get ! PART 2 On my Discord I post updates on my progress for the next part of Five Stages of Pink, here's the last update : Dialogues = 100% Artwork = 95 % Character sprites and their 'animation' = 60% Gameplay (Point and Click + Journal elements) = 35% Sound and music = 0% So it's not out yet and I can't give definite dates for now. But there isn’t much left ! This part was supposed to be finished within 2 months after the first launch. But I'm the unluckiest person : At the launch of the first part I was so ready and excited to work and finish the next part but one of my side jobs suddenly sent me urgent missions and I couldn't say no because I need to eat and sleep in a bed. And then I got VERY sick and 'suffered' for 3 whole weeks where I spent my time feeling guilty about not progressing anything (on the game…
- Steam Achievements ! - 4 July 2022
I added the very first Steam Achievements for the first part ! It was quite fun to make. I had many ideas for future achievements but I fear spoilers so I'll just do it every chapter updates. I'm not gonna lie that for some of these you'll need to restart the first part. You can just skip through most things but still try to interact with everything so you won't miss the actual achievements ! I also changed the design of some characters, just a little. NEXT PART "COMING SOON" ! Don't forget to follow me on Twitter ! Or Join the Discord !
- MAC + LINUX addition - 18 June 2022
What the title says ! I can now publish it for Mac and Linux players ! NEXT PART ? Regarding the next part "coming soon", as I mentioned in my previous post, my unpredictable life took a turn (because of my side job) and I don't believe I'll finish it before the end of June, my wishes are for during July ! And I want to add Steam achievements ! So this will take time too ! Don't forget to join the DISCORD ! And my Twitter ! If you want to support the project (and support me) you can buy the Soundtrack, thank you so much !
- Part 2/3 COMING SOON ! - 28 May 2022
It has been such an awesome first month for the game ! Starting form zero I didn't expect this many people showing their appreciation of my story/game ! Thank you so much for your support ! PART 2/3 COMING SOON ! Part 2/3 and not Part 2/2 ? I understood the difficulty in my situation to post regular updates with these really long chapters. As some of you know, I can't work full time on the game (yet), since I have a side job and an unpredictable life with it. And my fear as a creator is that the updates will take so long that players will forget about it or forget about the story, and if you played the first part you know how many info there is to retain in it, it's important for me to post sooner. So I decided to Fragment Chapters into 3 parts for now. End of June ? And the reason why this next part will be published this quickly is because, since I originally planned to post the whole…
- Players didn't know... - 15 May 2022
Two big changes 1) More Tutorials Players didn't know that you are supposed to complete the Character Sheets yourself, it's not Automatic like the 'NOTES' Section. This is a big part of the game's features so it's important to understand it at the beginning of the story so you can pay more attention to dialogues and complete the Journal fully. This will not change the Main Story, if you complete a character profile you will get More Content about THEM specifically. At first I wanted to make concise Tutorials, but from what other players said they didn't really retain what the Tutos said so I added more images, without changing much of the text, to help it. 2) Better Interrogation System Now you know which subject you already asked about ! I knew I had to add this feature at some point but it was the most complicated thing to script, and I succeeded ! (For now) I hope it won't bring othe…

- Five Stages of Pink Soundtrack Out ! - 5 May 2022
The Original Soundtrack of Five Stages of Pink is out now ! Thanks to Steam's update system the Soundtrack file will automatically be updated for each Chapter releases. So you do not have to pay more for the additional future content of the soundtrack. Thank you for your support ! I would like to thank all the reviews since the game released ! And all the people that enjoyed this first part of the game. It's all thanks to you ! I'm already working on the second part of chapter 0, I'm so excited to show you what's to come next in this story ! Prepare yourselves and enjoy the ride !
- Quick feature updates - 3 May 2022
After great feedbacks I added clarifications for some features. Some players didn't know you could skip already seen dialogues (with the right button) and also that the Dialogue History was in the menu (even though this was shown in the menu directly) So I added a 'Controls screen' in the beginning. I also added the possibility to hide the interface to see the artwork better with the middle click button. I changed very little things in dialogues to help players who believe they are stuck but are not.
