BREACH: Chicago War Zone (WIP) (UPDATED! 26-August-2023)

If you didn’t see him die, then he’s probably still alive…

You most definitely do not have to stick to one playstyle :joy:

If you want to follow on the FBI route’s hangouts and the side mission, you can definitely experience the more detective side of Breach, but those are optional missions, the main mission will have you clash with The Archangels pretty often on top of those investigation missions.

You’ll have ample amount of choice for investigating, and fighting The Archangels

So, hang outs and side missions. Do the Angels have any side missions too?

Also, i know that “freetime” used to be in between missions, where the MC would have a few days. Are we gonna have enough time to do all the new stuff? Or will it require multiple playthroughs?

2 Likes

Yes, both sides will have side missions and hangouts.

If you want to try out everything, you won’t be able to spend time upgrading your skills, it is possible to go through every single hangout and side mission by sacrificing skill and shopping for gear, but not recommended unless you use cheats.

… After some rough few patches, I did it. A bit later than I had hoped, but, I did it!

Update 15 has been released! Chapter 2 Part 2 for both routes have started all the way up to the first chance of a downtime. The hangouts for Hayne and Justin are available for the Archangel route, and the hangouts for Salazar, Rook and Bishop are available for the FBI route.

You may play it on the link below.

I tried to get this done at the end of February but, life took a different turn, in more ways than one. I’m still trying my best to take care while still working on Breach, honestly it’s one of the things keeping me afloat, to focus writing on this game.

This update includes a few new weapons as well as Justin’s 1st hangout for the Archangel route, as well as the 1st hangouts for Salazar, Rook and Bishop for the FBI route. Keep in mind that you cannot do both Justin and Hayne’s hangout. you have to pick one or the other. Same with Salazar, Rook and Bishop. You have to pick one or the other.

This is mainly to limit the stress on my brain on writing for 18 different hangouts for all romance options and, yeah… I’m a masochist, but I’m still human and my brain needs help.

The private testing for this latest update was released on the 5th this month, so I guess I’m back on the track to release the private testing on the 5th and the public update on the 20th next month as well.

Aside from that, I try my best to post status update some time after the public release, (probably the 25th, if I remember) on here, Patreon, tumblr, and on the Discord, to gauge whether or not I’m confident I can release something the following month.

If I do not post anything, the patreon update is still on track for the 5th next month, and every month after that, and the public update will always be released in the 15 to 20 day timeframe afterwards. Though, such as this one, please keep in mind that I may be few days late…

Thank you all for your patience and understanding.

Much love! :hearts:


As always feel free to drop however many screenshot feedbacks you’d like, either here or in our Discord channel!

So i might’ve read wrong and it might’ve been already said but…

On the FBI route we can let Greg go and he’ll give us information about the three, namely the aliases or real surnames they used back in the army which are known if also collaborating with our FBI collegues instead. Galilae, Baron and Haroz but he also says something interesting, that Gabriel, a sister (Gabrielle?) and Michael all have lived togheter before then in the UK so are Gabriel and Michael actually brothers? Because in Rook’s hangout he explicitly says he and Bishop know the identities of the three and he’s quite pissed they never went back to their lives and are still “ghosts”. Like he’s gone back to abuela and Bishop to his kids but the main trio hasn’t but haven’t they? If Gabriel, Gabrielle and Michael are blood or adopted siblings they have reunited.

Also the fact Gabriel’s eyes were brown? Did he like have retina trauma or is using contacts? Cause it seems pretty improbable no one has ever noticed it isn’t his real eye color.

Last thing, i swear. I am still not sure if it has ever been said what’s wrong with Michael’s eyes, like is he blind or partially blind? Greg says his eyes are hazel and in the Archangel route it is said the same so it’s not contacts discomfort in the meeting scene in book one when Gabriel has to turn him to the MC handshake.

Also…

I absolutely loved Rook’s hangout, especially if romanced, the lipstick kiss by the elevator? So extra. Loved hearing more about his family and personality, like he appears so detached from the world sometimes with his jokes (When asked about the FBI team: could beat me in a fight, hot. Could beat me at chess, hot. I laughed so hard) but he actually puts so much thought on killing and serious decisions and he is protective and kind. Not to mention how Salazar doesn’t trust him but they’re actually pretty similar, especially the living with their hardass grandmother.

2 Likes

To clear up a bit of confusion, probably a mistype on my part, sorry :sweat_smile:

Michael and Gabriel are not brothers, but their parents are very good friends and Gabriel lived with Michael for some time. Gabrielle and Gabriel are actual brother and sister. Gabrielle is also a “Ghost”, so technically they didn’t go back to their family… That being said, they are pretty much in some grey area there.

They are contacts. If you get close enough, you’ll definitely see the brown beneath the blue. Unfortunately, Gabriel doesn’t let the MC get that close… and even if he does, the lights are usually turned off…

Nope, he was wearing a blindfold under the mask… You can see him taking it off after the interrogation :joy:

I absolutely love writing for Rook and Bishop, they’re both just so fun to play around with and conjure up scenarios for them.

And yes, Salazar may feel a bit jealous of Rook, and Rook can’t help being himself and push Salazar’s buttons… but they give it time, they’ll grow on each other after awhile. Plus you’ll be getting to see more of their family, further down the line.

All in all… I’m absolutely glad you enjoyed the story! :smile:

I don’t think Justin likes me cause I cant seem to be able to hang out with him.

1 Like

Did you previously hangout with Hayne? If so, that will disable the hangout with Justin. You cannot do both unfortunately.

For the other hangouts, Carly and Kaz will also both be exclusive, meaning you have to pick to hangout with Carly or Kaz. As well as Anna and Charlie.

The next hangouts will include both pairs so you’ll be hanging out with both of them if they’re available.

10 Likes

If Kaz Is on their team then they couldn’t have possibly hanged out with Hayne so unless there’s somo sort of relationship cap they’re not meeting it’d seem to be a bug.

2 Likes

Oh yeah… that is true. That is definitely a bug then, good catch!

@Lucky_Icarus did you hangout with Kaz previously?

5 Likes

If you’re referring to the option during character creation, then yes. If not, then I didn’t even know you COULD hang out with Kaz yet, because I dontbhave the option to do that either btw.

I’ve been running through the code, I don’t really know what could cause this besides giving Justin one of the prep task for the heist.

If you ever come across this again, could you go into the show stats page, head down to the “DEBUG Show All Variables” option, and copy and paste everything you have in there. Sorry… :sweat:

Looking at your variables, apparently you chose to send Justin to meet up with the VAMcorp squad to collect intel in the drug house raid, so during the first day, he’d be completely unavailable.

Just thought I’d write, to give you some encouragement. I loved the 1st game and it feels like I can’t wait for the 2nd game but… I CAN wait. :slight_smile: Take your time. As long as you feel you need. Don’t feel pressured to rush. That way you’ll enjoy it more and the end result will be even better! You have lots of loyal fans who will stick with you and the project and I’m sure you’ll have a host of new fans, upon release of the 2nd game. Take care. I wish you all the best. I look forward to seeing what comes next! :smiley:
