| 5/2/2012 | With TCII having been downloaded over 100 times, I thought I would celebrate by editing the game a bit. I took the feedback I received and made some changes. Also, I added a little extra to the Extra Preview. You can find version 002 here on the Download page. Thanks for playing! Tell me if I need to make any further corrections. | 3/7/2012 | Finally, after ten months of waiting, Thanatos Contract Episode II: Confrontation is now available to download! You can find it in the Download section. I must thank my team, which has grown a bit since the days of just Kat and myself. Thank you. And I thank the fans that we do have. I know our following isn't huge, but that isn't what matters. As long as someone out there is enjoying Thanatos Contract, I still have the drive to continue the series. Thank you! As always, if you find anything wrong with the game, gameplay or writing wise, tell me. I'm a big boy; I can handle constructive criticism. Have fun! |
| 2/22/2012 | The Credit section has been updated to reflect that Jade Leamcharaskul has created some original tracks for Episode II! We hope to work together in the future for Episode III! You can find her own promising visual novel-esque project, Hungry Whispers, here.
Furthermore, Thanatos Contract Episode II: Confrontation has entered the testing phase! Whenever the game is fully fixed of glitches and the like, Episode II will FINALLY be released! For the billionth time, I apologize for the wait. | 1/20/2012 | I know it's been a looong time since Episode II began development with little results. I'm sorry. However! Head over to the Download section and download the Episode II demo! If you find any errors or have any suggestions at all, please let me know! Any criticism is good for improvement. |
| 12/11/2011 | An updated profile for AnimeFan21 has been added to the Characters section, showing his actual appearance along with more insight into his background.

In the mean time, check out the Thanatos Contract DeviantArt group. | 11/9/2011 | In the Download section are links to version 002 of Thanatos Contract Episode I. The new version has a much smaller download size (around 85mb in comparison to the original 150 mb), a few grammar and spelling errors corrected, and click-to-progress credits. Otherwise, it's the same game. If there are any errors, please let me know! |
