We finally got the release ready for you, and are excited to show the new art direction of Taru's Infernal Pledge! You can see the new art in the updated demo version (contains Chapter 1 and 2) and the official latest version (v.0.5.0). Specifically, the first ~10 or so passages in Chapter 1 have been replaced by high-quality digitally hand-drawn images by tacinky!

In addition to fantastic art, we've also got 50% of Chapter 6 - Calm Before The Storm (Flashback) completed and ready for you to enjoy. In this chapter, Taru and her old gang are preparing for the heist, spending some quality time with gang members, and getting into trouble as you could expect.
