i am confuse abt the new ep...

[Art1c]

sooo i saw that we are not gonna get the ep 3 A alone and instead we will get it plus the 4 when both are complete , the thing is from what i understood it is only the decay route so there will not be a burial continuation? or the burial will come EVEN LATER? i rly need want to knows this, so if smn is willing to clarify it to me i would be thankfull

Burial will come eventually, but not before Decay is done and has released. So it will happen, it is just going to take a while.

heres the story, originally there was gonna be 3a and 3b but 3a was so long that there was gonna be a 4a and a 4b as well but then they decided to have 3a and 4a together because the halfway point was weird.
now we must wait for all of A to be done before anything b related shows

There was never any solid confirmation of a 4B as far as I'm aware.
The closest thing to that would be the timeline image which showed ep4 as maybe a continuation for both. Its height on the image was large enough to be perceived as continuing both, but I don't remember it ever being explicitly said.

You're probably right, though, unless Burial needs a lot less story. 🤷🏻‍♂️

maybe 3b will get a continuation but that doesn't seem to be their intention. Keep in mind 3a only got a 4 because they thought 3a was going on too long and needed to be split so I'm guessing chapter 4 is gonna more of an epilogue than anything

That's true, but I don't think it's unlikely that 3B will end up getting too long as well. Even with a master script, it's hard to know how much story you'll actually need upfront as you give flesh to form.

While I wouldn't be surprised if 3B was the expected length, I just as equally wouldn't be shocked if that weren't the case.

I could see 3B being shorter just because that's seen as the good route (or less bad one I should say) so there wouldn't be as much conflict as 3A but who knows

however 2b also shows some weird demon stuff near the end so theres a chance that a whole new set of problems arrive that the siblings have to face since they are no longer fighting.

good point

Yeah, Episode 3A 'Decay' was split into 3A and episode 4 'Decay part 2' as the author doesn't want any single episode to be longer than one could play in a single session beginning to end uninterrupted. 3A is probably finished at this point, we voted to not receive it until 4 is also done. Development of episode 3B 'Burial' starts after that. Whether or not Burial is also split in half to create an episode 4B will only be known when development reaches that point. We should assume it's not the plan but is also fairly likely.
Episode 4 is not connected to 3B in any way and the image showing it coming after both episode 3s was probably just like that to not spoil which episode 3 was being made first, something the author has decided no longer needs to be secret.
