Thanks for all of your hard work! I've been waiting for a complete version of this for YEARS and the crew at Stormsinger has been doing a fantastic job! I've played a lot of VNs but for some reason, Morenatsu hits different. I can't wait to experience all of this beautiful story.
I want the development team to know this is an amazing work and I'm so glad you've kept working on it this whole time. You guys are immensely talented and I'm in love with what you've made. I can't wait to see the completed product and I believe in you guys!
It is a bug, often caused by returning to the main menu before the event finishes. For the time being, try watching another event to its completion. When it returns to the main menu normally, it should reactivate the flag which summons the affection feature. In a future build, I'm hoping for it to be fixed.
Well, they work on this game for free, while working on the game that ACTUALLY give them money to work on. So we should just be glad they found an artist who is kind enough to donate his art for this project OR that they have the spare money to invest in the project because Art is expensive especially good art, good music, etc. So I'm not complaining, I'm gladly gonna wait for months, even years as long as they keep updating the discord every now and then saying that they are working on it slowly or not.
Just remember it's very, very hard to make a visual novel, and work on one for free, and give quality work like they are doing? We should be forever grateful.
Yes, I have previously read the information on their page and I understand that the artists and the writers of this VN are volunteers. I'm extremely grateful that this VN has continued for such a long time. Though I never intended to incite the developers to "hurry up", I wanted to know if any progress has been made. I hope you understand. Good luck!!!
they didnt do anything wrong by asking for a progress check. You wrote a condescending novel over literally nothing. You seem like a complete nightmare and no one cares that youre such a wet blanket, you would wait obediently for years without asking for a simple update and chastise people that do. As an artist myself, I would be embarrassed if someone tried to simp for me this hard. Get a life.
Hey dude, chill. I see where you're coming from, but there's a right way and a wrong way to provide feedback.
That said, I'm afraid the only update I can provide at the moment is I've managed to make quite a few changes to the back-end, and have completed the expansion of Kyouji and Soutarou's camping trip event (it was a bit lacking in the last update, and Lesli had actually written an event for that day, but it went unnoticed by all of us, oops!) All that we're waiting on for build 13 is for Kyouji's content to be coded in (the story itself is already fully written) and for any other sprite or CG updates. However, those are for Dzahn and Devilizer, and with both of them being busy, not to mention Dev being our sole artist at this current point in time, it's making it a bit difficult for them to find time.
I myself am eagerly awaiting the public release of build 13, because I'm not only keen to see what people think of the new content, but also because I actually have big plans. All I can say is that I appreciate everyone's patience.
Hi! I can see where you're coming from, but it's a shame they're busy. As another fellow artist, I can completely relate to the schedule issues. Though, it's also nice to know this project hasn't been abandoned lol. Honestly, I haven't looked at it in a couple of months, so I forgot to check (T^T). Please, take your time for this VN, no rush!
really enjoying this vn so far!! do we know when to expect the next update? and which route is going to be completed next? my favourite so far is Tarou, cant wait for more of him! ;3
Well, I know it's been almost a year, but, the next route will be Kyouji's one, they already show up some teasers (not a lot tbh) and it seems that it would release any soon, by the other part, Soutaro's route could be the penultimate, so, just wait ig.
The chances of that happening are less than 0%. While we have used the OG Morenatsu theme as a motif for some tracks, we will not be using any of the original tracks.
As I DO think the Morenatsu characters were released to the public domain, the music probably belongs to someone else, so it would be wise to AVOID any legal stuff especially for a fan-project that raises no money at all.
Did you successfully do the quick-time event to wakeup for the fireflies scene with Juuichi? If you fail to wakeup in time for it and get the phone call from him instead, you are completely locked out of the route.
Hehe, I remember when we decided to actually implement the Ten route into Homecoming. The amount of times I had to say "No, we're not bringing it back..." while the whole time I was internally like "I'm bringing it back, and improving the writing."
As for if we're planning on implementing others, at this point in time, no (truthfully)...although I do have other things planned for the future.
You could probably base a whole spinoff on Hiroyuki going to work with the Midoriya Carpenter's Guild. The amount of thirst I've seen for some of those characters is unreal.
I know you said you're keeping the nude sprites without any bits to maintain a normalized average size, but are there any plans to have them in the gallery? Or for that matter, just having a sprite viewer with all the various costumes in general?
I'm really in love with this game! I first found this one on the Apple store and just today had to go check out the original. Love how there's much the same as the original, but much is also new and improved! (I will admit I like this version better) I hope Tora gets a revised and better ending tbh... the original end was kinda bland (odd for what's supposed to be the "canon" relationship).
I have to play all again after this update? Or how do i load my save to newer version? And what is that option where you can place passwords? Where i can find them? Patreon?
Will Ten kodori gonna have a bonus route in the game I just wanna know if he's gonna have a bonus route cause if juuchi gonna reject hiroyuki then hiroyuki is gonna choose ten kodori because when I read the other morenatsu novel I can see after juuchi reject hiroyuki after that when he goes to the shrine he saw shun and ten and after he was done praying he keeps thinking about juuchi but he ignore him in he mind after that shun and ten walk hiroyuki home and after shun leave ten kodori stay for a little and talk to hiroyuki and talk that he was very good friend to shun after the conversation of hiroyuki ten kodori leaves after leaving ten kodori feels that he have feeling for hiroyuki and the last part they became lover that the bonus route
Sorry for this I just wanna know if ten kodori gonna have a bonus route Im very sorry!
Ох, мне приятно что вы так подумали, но нет это не мое искусство. Возможно в недалёком будущем я этому делу посвящу время. Некоторые из моих друзей уже занимаются написанием своих стихотворений.
Progress is slowly coming along. A lot is being adjusted for this coming build, but at the same time, real life has been causing a few slowdowns. However, when the next build comes out, I'm certain people will enjoy.
Tatsuki, Juuichi, and Shin are done. I believe this update is taking awhile because they were working on Kounosuke next, and they completely reworked his route. They have a link under the heading "Project Development Status" with a spreadsheet showing the most progress of each route.

They got rid of them. They're going to be implemented in the game itself whenever they release the next update. But I don't expect that for quite a while considering it's been half a year since the previous one and they're a team of volunteers.
I was actually thinking the next one would drop relatively soon. I think it was supposed to be a significantly bigger update than the last couple times, and they were 3 and 4 months apart. 7 to 8 months seems about right.
Hi there! I am creating a collection of fully blind accessible games, and your game is listed under the "blind support tag". The word "blind" means different things to different people, and within that wide spectrum their are various levels of expertise with visual UI's. but as a fully blind gamer, I am wondering what features this game provides for those who can not see the screen at all. Do you have "screen reader" or "text to speech" support? Is your game fully playable with a keyboard or controller, rather than having to point the mouse at buttons on the interface? If the answer to those questions is no, it would still be great to know what options are provided for those with less severe visual impairments, so that I might make them aware of your game's usability for them. Thank you for any information you can provide, it's very much appreciated! :)
By default, the Renpy engine has support for self voicing (press V on the keyboard at any time to activate it) and controller support for the vast majority of cases. In my experiences testing the controller support, there are one or two menus that don't play well with it and may need a mouse to navigate, but moment to moment gameplay is completely accessible with a controller.
Ah, thank you for the reply! Just a couple of follow on questions then if you have the time... :) You mentioned controller support but is their any keyboard support? Most severely blind people do not own controllers, as most games on consoles are not accessible, most of us exclusively use the keyboard, with some mouse users sprinkled throughout.
Also, does your game include any "alt text" labels on important images? Are visual indicators for control status' also shown in text? Both of those things are very important for a truly blind accessible game.
Definitely don't want to give the wrong idea here. I rely pretty heavily on the engine to do the heavy lifting for accessibility features, so there's no "alt text" labels or control status indicators. Keyboard support seems to function exactly the same as the gamepad support, meaning you can use arrow keys to navigate menus and press space bar to confirm/proceed to next dialogue, but certain menus are still going to require input from a mouse.
Gotcha, thanks for giving me the low down. :D I think I'd call this game partially blind accessible then. If their is some way you could note that in the description, I think it would help people. Thanks!
Heyyo! I downloaded the game three months prior only to play it yesterday, and gosh, how amazing it was—exactly how I remembered it from the original I played years ago. But still, there's one thing that bothers me. Why do all NSFW scenes in the game only show black bg?! (/QAQ)/ Do I have to meet certain conditions to unlock the CGs, or is it just simply not available in the game? It saddens me every time I play a specific route of a certain character, especially Ten Juuichi's route, only to find that I don't get to see those ~steamy~ scenes in the end after all that trouble I went through. His route is very special to me and will always have a special place in my heart. So, if there's anything I can do to unlock the CGs, please tell me. (I'm very desperate rn) But if there's nothing I can't do about it and the scenes will remain in black bg, then I understand. (T~T)
Btw, is Version 11.01 the last build of your game, or will there be more to come? (O3O)
Oh thank you so much for the info! Just got back from work and have been thinking about it all day. Now my soul can rest assured by knowing this. Thanks again for the reply, good stranger! \(>w<)/ <3

Not too long ago, an hour tops, I was riding the bus home, and suddenly I had a craving to visit Minasato village.
it's absolutely Amazing, i'm loving playing the game and i can't wait for more updates
i'm sure will help the project when my life gets a little better
i'm from Brazil and i'm loving Homecoming ~Morenatsu Revisited~
Thanks for all of your hard work! I've been waiting for a complete version of this for YEARS and the crew at Stormsinger has been doing a fantastic job! I've played a lot of VNs but for some reason, Morenatsu hits different. I can't wait to experience all of this beautiful story.
I want the development team to know this is an amazing work and I'm so glad you've kept working on it this whole time. You guys are immensely talented and I'm in love with what you've made. I can't wait to see the completed product and I believe in you guys!
When I replay an event in the gallery, I always lose the affection feature and I can't get it back even in normal playthroughs. Is it a bug?
It is a bug, often caused by returning to the main menu before the event finishes. For the time being, try watching another event to its completion. When it returns to the main menu normally, it should reactivate the flag which summons the affection feature. In a future build, I'm hoping for it to be fixed.
Thank you!
can we get a progress check, or an estimate on when build 13 will be released? I'm too excited to wait! シ
Well, they work on this game for free, while working on the game that ACTUALLY give them money to work on. So we should just be glad they found an artist who is kind enough to donate his art for this project OR that they have the spare money to invest in the project because Art is expensive especially good art, good music, etc. So I'm not complaining, I'm gladly gonna wait for months, even years as long as they keep updating the discord every now and then saying that they are working on it slowly or not.

does anybody have a guide on how to get the ten kodori route?
Have to get Juuichi bad ending i believe
select "keep going" on day 22
Is there any chance we have the OST from OG Morenatsu? The music was so beautiful and nostalgic.
The chances of that happening are less than 0%. While we have used the OG Morenatsu theme as a motif for some tracks, we will not be using any of the original tracks.
It's alright, it would be nice if we could have them at the Gallery at least. So nostalgic.
As I DO think the Morenatsu characters were released to the public domain, the music probably belongs to someone else, so it would be wise to AVOID any legal stuff especially for a fan-project that raises no money at all.
Is there going to be sex scene/ Naked scene on the VN?
Idk but I hope so!!
If you're talking about CGs, they will be implemented later.
As far as story goes, so far only Juuichi, Kounosuke, Shin and Tatsuki have sex scenes.
by any chance is there a button that will play the game on auto?
any route guides to access juuichi route? any tips?
played the games and ended up with torahiko's route 😩
Did you successfully do the quick-time event to wakeup for the fireflies scene with Juuichi? If you fail to wakeup in time for it and get the phone call from him instead, you are completely locked out of the route.
I heard bonus routes are not gonna happen? Is that true or are the devs gonna finish the game first?
They already have a bonus route for Ten Kodori in the game, so they're clearly not completely opposed to them.
Hehe, I remember when we decided to actually implement the Ten route into Homecoming. The amount of times I had to say "No, we're not bringing it back..." while the whole time I was internally like "I'm bringing it back, and improving the writing."

(I will admit I like this version better) I hope Tora gets a revised and better ending tbh... the original end was kinda bland (odd for what's supposed to be the "canon" relationship).
I like how the artsyle seems quite modern yet pays respect to the old artstyle. I'm probably gonna play this after I finish the original.
Yeah, picked that one up after build 12's release. It's already fixed for the next build.
Let's see they make about two releases in one year. Each release have about two to three parts. I guess it will be 2-3 years until they complete it
I've downloaded the latest update but juiichi still only goes to day 15 before it says End of Demo? Can anyone help please?
you entered on a unfinished route, just play another route, it will pass after day 15
Is there a way to hide the text box on mobile? I know there is on desktop, at least.
Have you found passwords in the game yet? I myself have not found :(
Anyone know where I can find route guides? Thanks in advance.
When you finish a route you get access to its guide in the gallery
ah okok thanks again
Can I use the benefits of guides in the game even though I am using App Store version?
Yes. I made sure the guides work in-game in the mobile builds as well.
nice!!! But how can I get them ? Are they free? Or should I be come a patreon? And thanks for answering , been waiting for it
I have to play all again after this update? Or how do i load my save to newer version? And what is that option where you can place passwords? Where i can find them? Patreon?
You unlock passwords as you go through the routes I believe
guys , where can I find the guides for this game? Because I read that the studios have it in there website but I can’t find it
Is this final?
Hello! May I ask?
Will Ten kodori gonna have a bonus route in the game I just wanna know if he's gonna have a bonus route cause if juuchi gonna reject hiroyuki then hiroyuki is gonna choose ten kodori because when I read the other morenatsu novel I can see after juuchi reject hiroyuki after that when he goes to the shrine he saw shun and ten and after he was done praying he keeps thinking about juuchi but he ignore him in he mind after that shun and ten walk hiroyuki home and after shun leave ten kodori stay for a little and talk to hiroyuki and talk that he was very good friend to shun after the conversation of hiroyuki ten kodori leaves after leaving ten kodori feels that he have feeling for hiroyuki and the last part they became lover that the bonus route
Sorry for this I just wanna know if ten kodori gonna have a bonus route Im very sorry!
If I recall correctly, they actually have a bonus route for Ten in the game. Getting it requires you to get one of the bad endings for Juuichi first.
Брошу в записках мысли
Вдруг их кто-нибудь найдёт?
Эта жизнь, как ледник
Успей кинуть в бокалы лёд
Свидание с тенью сожалений
Меня дома ждёт
И даже в вашем
Муравейнике я одинок
Ты лети, лети, лепесток
Cквозь запад на восток
Взмывая выше облаков
Найди хоть там покой
Я слышу: для меня поёт
Хрустальный небосвод
И вижу, будто сон
Твой полёт и их исход
Расти и процветай
Будет нелегко местами
Воля — стержень, он из стали
Разлетайся лепестками
Стань моими глазами
Дай надежду, подай знак
Собрав все силы в кулак
Я поборол свой страх
аплодисменты. 👏
Прошу прощения, в этот момент я искал утешения после нахлеста эмоций от данной новеллы, встретил его в этом отрывке песни и решил поделиться
оу, ничего.
а я подумал, что это стихотворение, написанное вами. х)
Ох, мне приятно что вы так подумали, но нет это не мое искусство. Возможно в недалёком будущем я этому делу посвящу время. Некоторые из моих друзей уже занимаются написанием своих стихотворений.
How's progress going on the new update cuz I'm excited
Progress is slowly coming along. A lot is being adjusted for this coming build, but at the same time, real life has been causing a few slowdowns. However, when the next build comes out, I'm certain people will enjoy.
Take your time! Slow steps does the job! Im looking forward to this upcoming update!!!
wait are there any fully done routes or are they all in development
Tatsuki, Juuichi, and Shin are done. I believe this update is taking awhile because they were working on Kounosuke next, and they completely reworked his route. They have a link under the heading "Project Development Status" with a spreadsheet showing the most progress of each route.
does it have all the original routes done at least?

Thank you, JTablian. 🤍🤍🤍
I cant find the "perfect route guides" from the page and the link. Somebody can help me?
They got rid of them. They're going to be implemented in the game itself whenever they release the next update. But I don't expect that for quite a while considering it's been half a year since the previous one and they're a team of volunteers.

There will be CGs, just not now... They will work on the CGs after all the characters' routes are finished.
And there're definitely more builds for this game (the next build will be Kounosuke's route)
Oh thank you so much for the info! Just got back from work and have been thinking about it all day. Now my soul can rest assured by knowing this. Thanks again for the reply, good stranger! \(>w<)/ <3
has "No Screen Flashes" as a setting.
this is officially the best game i've ever played.
Can we get at least one Tappei's scene? I simp him so hard
