New Update: Once Upon A Child - Full Stop!


Heya everyone, Dwimepon from KodamaSoft here.

I just released the very last of Once Upon A Child. No version numbers this time, but a new (And fitting!) subtitle instead. I present to you...

Once Upon A Child: Full Stop!

I've been working on this update for more than one year, but because of IRL complications I couldn't finish it... That is, until today. Full Stop features a LOT of changes, so I'll just list the most notable:

  • The titlescreen has been revamped, and looks much more stylish than the previous version
  • New ending CGs and titlescreen art by @SachaDow! They're all amazing-looking, and Sacha was a pleasure to work with.
  • New content! Notably, a brand-new epilogue that expands a bit on the story of one character and concludes everything pretty well. The epilogue isn't unlocked right away, though, but isn't hard to get, so don't worry.
  • A gallery menu, replacing the previous notes menu. Here, you can look at the unlocked CGs, listen to the games' tunes in the Sound Test or read new notes both by me and SachaDow! The pre-Full-Stop notes are also here, if you want to read them (Spoilers: you don't)
  • The number of save prompts has been greatly reduced: It was frankly super-obnoxious in the previous versions, so now there's just 4 save prompts at important moments.
  • A few graphical revamps: Notably, the main font has been changed to look more unique (Times New Roman -> Playtime With Hot Toddies), graphical assets were updated because, frankly, a lot of them were kinda ugly and a bit of new pictures were added, like a day counter.
  • A Mac version has been released! I couldn't test it though, so I hope I won't encounter any problems with it.
  • Typos, grammatical errors and other mistakes have been corrected. A lot of 'em. Like seriously, how in hell did I think this was okay to publish?!

And I'm probably forgetting a lot of things! I hope you'll enjoy Once Upon A Child: Full Stop as much as I enjoyed making it. You can download it right away on the game's itch.io page! I don't think bookmarks from previous versions are compatible, however.

On another note, I've also decided to add a OUAC Thank You Pack, available to download for those who donated $1 or more to the game. It features SachaDow's full-sized 1118x1588 CGs (Twice the game's normal resolution!), the entirety of the ingame backgrounds and instructions on how I created them,a few bonus concept arts and artworks, the full version of SachaDow's notes (They're actually abridged ingame, for space reasons), and additional notes by myself! So yeah, if you enjoy Once Upon A Child and wants to support both myself and itch.io, that's a little "thank you" gift.

Oh, and if you already donated to the previous versions, don't worry! Simply send me an e-mail / Twitter DM, and I'll give you a redeem key. No problem!


After this update, I think I'm definitely done with Once Upon A Child. If there's a huge, critical bug or something, I'll probably update the game, but otherwise I think I'm done with it. I want to go on, and make other games!

Anyways... Thank you for reading til the end, and I hope you'll enjoy Once Upon A Child: Full Stop!
