Just a quick note to announce the public release date of EC: The Apothecary 0.5.1.

It will be out on May 26th/27th (depending on where you live). It'll be uploaded directly here to itch.io and ready for download.

The official changelog is:

* Between 6 and 8 scenes (depending on what paths you took previously).

* 20 new sandbox interactions, including Yanwei (at shop, midday), Reece (in Rilea, evening), Erranda (Thornhill, evening), Iris (her room, night), Nadine (her room, night), Sephone (her room, night).

* Some minor bug fixes.

Work on the next update (0.6) is moving quickly. Nearly all the scenes are scripted. There's no planned date for 0.6, but I would very loosely estimate sometime in July. It's a much bigger update (roughly 30 scenes plus more sandbox content).
