Download game Horton Bay Stories – Jake [v0.6.7.2] [APK]

What type of game is Horton Bay Stories: Jake?

Horton Bay Stories: Jake is a sandbox-style visual novel with exploration, quests, relationship progression, branching conversations, and character-focused storytelling. Players control Jake’s schedule, visit different areas around Horton Bay, interact with residents, and unlock events by meeting specific requirements.

Who developed Horton Bay Stories: Jake?

The game is developed by Lumphorn Games. It is part of the broader Horton Bay setting, with Jake serving as the central protagonist of this particular story.

Does the game have an open-world structure?

The game uses a hub-based sandbox structure rather than a fully unrestricted open world. Players can travel between available locations, manage time, complete quests, discover optional events, and revisit characters as their individual storylines progress.

Do player choices affect relationships?

Yes. Dialogue options, completed quests, character interactions, and certain major decisions can influence relationship progression and determine which events become available. Maintaining separate save files is useful when exploring different outcomes.

Does Horton Bay Stories: Jake include multiple romance routes?

Yes. Jake can develop relationships with several characters throughout the story. Each route progresses at a different pace and may require specific quests, statistics, items, or earlier decisions before new events become available.

Is Horton Bay Stories: Jake still in development?

Yes. The game remains an ongoing project, so some character routes, locations, and major storylines are not yet complete. New releases generally expand existing quests, add scenes, improve animations, and continue the central narrative.

Can old save files be used with a newer version?

Save compatibility may depend on the scale of the update. Minor releases are often easier to continue from, while larger changes to quests or progression systems can create issues with older saves. Keeping backup saves from several points in the story is recommended.

Why is an event or quest not appearing?

Many events require a particular time of day, location, relationship level, completed prerequisite, item, or character statistic. Review the quest log, try visiting the location at another time, and complete any earlier objectives connected to the character.

Is Horton Bay Stories: Jake available on Android?

Yes. An Android version is available alongside the desktop releases. Because installation packages and additional game files may vary between versions, follow the instructions included with the selected release.

Is Horton Bay Stories: Jake worth playing?

It is a strong choice for players who enjoy sandbox visual novels with detailed environments, gradual relationship development, numerous quests, and a large interconnected cast. The slower progression may require patience, but it also gives the characters and setting more time to develop.

v0.6.6.0

Fixed: Lizzy’s dialogue side image now correctly displays when she speaks.

Changed: During the Main Objective to help Sandra fix her kitchen sink, you can now avoid sex with Bethany if you choose to.

Added: Party – Extended Lisa event.
Added: Alternate path, avoiding sex with Marley and Amber when meeting Bethany at the beach for the first time.
Added: 2x alternate paths for avoiding sex with Bethany during her birthday event in your bedroom (requires a save prior to this event to play).

Added: New Dream – MelBelFanboy (NTR).
Added: New Dream – Amber.
Added: Party – Garage event.
Added: Speak with Sandra about Jasper (Main Story).

Note: During Bethany’s birthday event, one way or another, Beth will lose her virginity. If NTR is enabled and you’ve told Amber’s fan to leave, that only leaves you and Amber in the room. So, if you don’t do it, Amber will.

If NTR is disabled, you’ll still have the option to allow Amber to do the deed, instead of you, if you wish.

v0.6.5.1

Fixed: Error on fast travel map when clicking on Billboard sign and ending up at the Homeless Camp.

Changed: Replaced Adel renders at the bank (fixed goofy expression).
Changed: Updated Celeste’s dialogue image.
Changed: Updated Cove Street (outside Johnson’s house to include the Manor House).
Changed: Cleaned up a lot of old code. I don’t believe there are any problematic issues as a result, but it’s possible, so heads up.
Changed: Incomplete side objectives with an ‘In Development’ tag, are now moved to the bottom of the objectives list and separated from active objectives.
Changed: Marcy can now be found at the Homeless Camp on odd hours (09:00 – 17:00) before finding her a home.
Changed: Streamlined (slightly) menu for visiting tenants of the Tower Block Flats. Still using the menu system, for now. Will create proper UI elements for this in a later update.

Added: Party – Abi/Stacey event.
Added: Ask Adel about her boss (optional – main story).
Added: Ask Beth about her mum’s involvement with Jasper (optional – main story).
Added: Can now swim with Bethany at the Boatyard repeatedly, once unlocked (counts toward excercise).
Added: New location – Jasper’s house to navigation and Town Map (location interior in development).
Added: New dialogue available with Celeste at the bank after you’ve officially met her.
Added: New video collectible (sellable to Justin).
Added: Adel/Jasper NTR event (requires dark route OR max corruption BEFORE dealing with Thomas. If Adel has already confessed her feelings for you, and you did not reject her, this event is unreachable.)
Added: Cheat to unlock phone photos and videos (toggleable with cheat mode enabled).
Added: New Dream – Jasper NTR
Added: New ‘Key Ring’ button to the Inventory screen. All keys collected in-game will now be stored here, saving on inventory clutter.
Added: During the party, Abi and Stacey will give you their spare front door key, giving you access to their flat.
Added: After gaining access to Abi and Stacey’s flat, you can now find extra bottles of booze in Trent’s bedroom, to use at the party.

Added: Party – Lisa event.

Note: Currently, unlocking the beginning of Celeste’s arc requires completing the optional Main Story objective of asking Adel to help with info on Jasper.

There WILL be other ways to start her content in future updates, and her current content is extremely limited in any case! So don’t panic if you don’t want to ask Adel to help you.

Fixed: Bug in Pie’s office blocking delivery objective if Sandra’s relationship too high.
Fixed: Issue with dialogue font size not correctly defaulting to medium (editable in Options screen).

Added: Regan/Lana NTR party event (stage one – 2/4 routes)
Added: A few new global stat trackers (phone settings screen) – some stats may be inaccurate on existing saves (not game breaking).

Note: List of characters that currently have scenes affected by Trent’s drinks can be found in the Walkthrough Notes (root folder of game) under “Another House Party”.

v0.6.0.2

Fixed: When trading videos with Justin for the cuddly toy, correct video now plays when selecting Christine/Lucas option.

Changed: Brett’s ride home from work (building site) can now be tampered with between the hours of 12:00 and 15:00 (previously only available at 14:00), allowing for more leeway when trying to have sex with Mika at her home at 15:00.

Added: Sandra asks for your help (main story).

Fixed: Error when calculating Hygiene loss after Gemma event at 08:00 in the Backyard.
Fixed: Game breaking error during Gemma’s morning workout (<= 9 attraction points – included in hotfix 0.5.9.5).

Fixed: Several typos.

Changed: After concluding the meeting with Nigel at the pub on Sundays, when failing to pay rent, you will now appear back in your room on the sofa. This is to allow any automated events to trigger as intended.
Changed: Volleyball game dialogue at 15:00 can now be started from any beach sublocation.
Changed: Christine’s Attraction points can now be gained by eating burgers with her at Burger Baps for longer (cap raised from 14 to 28).
Changed : Christine’s Attraction points can now be gained from rubbing her back in the backyard at 16:00 for longer (cap raised from 9 to 28).
Changed: Christine’s arc must now be completed up to the point of removing Lucas from the house, in order to progress the Main Story (more Christine content to be added at a later time to allow for more non-romantic progression options for those that do not wish to pursue Christine as a love interest).
As a side note (because I have already confirmed an alternate Lucas path to be added later): The alternate Lucas path will eventually reach the Boat Yard event, no matter what. So don’t panic, the extra Lucas content is still planned for those that have been asking for it!

Added: Party Preparations (several existing events must be completed to proceed)
Added: First installment of Party v2.0 content (This event is gigantic and will take multiple updates to complete).

v0.5.9.4

Fixed: During Bethany’s arc, once it’s time for her ‘birthday celebration’, her NPC guide will now correctly show the next step to take, but also, the scene will automatically start in your room when available (Sunday, midday).

Changed: Removed the Morality check for allowing Marcy to sleep on your sofa after allowing her to clean herself up at your house.

Changed: Removed the ‘Adel Virgin’ toggle from phone settings (it was only meant to be for testing purposes and is now redundant).

Changed: When walking into your house mate’s bedrooms without knocking, you will now only be able to lose 1 point of morality (for each room) per hour in game (to limit spamming for negative moral score).

Changed: Bear will now gain friendship points as you complete objectives with/for him. These currently inlcude, but will not be limited to, Retrieving Claire’s Guitar, Dealing with Lucas and Taking Delivery Jobs. Some points will be retroactively awarded for players who have already completed these objectives in their current saves, however only one point will be given for Delivery Jobs already completed, regardless of how many have actually been taken (literally impossible to calculate, new variable now added to track this stat).

Changed: Removed redundant dev note from the beach volley ball event before having gained any friendship points with the girls.

Changed: At 16:00, Amber and Marley’s dialogue can now be started from any beach sub-location.

Changed: At 11:00, Maddy’s dialogue can now be started from any beach sub-location.

Changed: After the 23:00 event in Adel’s room and you decide to spend the night in her room, you can now wake her again for more sex (sleep event).

Changed: Relaxing for 1 hour in your bed will now refresh your stamina (does not count when skipping to next time period).

Changed: When carrying more than £10,000 in your wallet, you will be prompted once a day to deposit your cash safely into the bank.

Changed: Fitness gains are no longer based solely on an activity, but rather your progression within the Gym. No gym membership/no gym job caps total stamina at 30. A membership/job will aloow a cap of 45 stamina. Future gym progression (personal trainer job) will increase max stamina to a cap of 60 in a later update.

Changed: After finding Marcy a place to live, her bio card will update to reflect her new situation.

Added: Can now interact with Jack and Jill at the Gym (sauna). NTR and non-NTR events included, however can still play out the non-NTR version when prompted if NTR is enabled.

Added: Climb into bed with Adel at night for sex (not currently available on ‘dark’ path).

Added: Mika comes to visit you at night (Requires that you’ve had sex with her on YOUR bed – currently this is only triggered during the DnD costume event. If you missed that, there will be another opportunity to enable it within the next few updates).

Added: New character – Digby.

Added: Stat bar to the UI. While active, this remains on screen until disabled. Can be toggled on or off using the in-game phone settings screen.
If any Energy Drinks are in your inventory, you can use them on the fly with this new feature. As well as keep on top of your main relevant stats without having to navigate through the phone to see them.
Turning the Stat Bar Toggle to OFF, will reset the UI back to how it was before, and can be toggled back on at any time while using the phone menu.
There is also a ‘temporary’ off switch located on the UI itself. This is intended to be used if you prefer having the bar enabled, but would rather it went away for ‘certain’ scenes. After using this button, the menu will re-appear automatically after changing locations in-game (which also typically happens automatically after most scenes end).

Added: Dora and Clementine can be found in the girl’s change room at Uni – 14:00 (requires at least one game of football played in the Uni Sports Hall at 14:00).

Added: Football event in the Uni Sports Hall, 14:00 weekdays.

Note: Currently, not all events will affect your stamina, and those that do, all use the same base line amount. In the future, more and more events will require and use up stamina points based on the activity. They are easily replenished via energy drinks, napping and sleeping through the night.
The same is true for Hygiene. Stamina and Hygiene loss can be toggled on or off using the Stat Decay Toggle on the phone settings screen.

2022-04-01
Apologies for the unfinished event this month. The scenes with Carly took an insane amount of time to render out, leaving me with very little time to complete the rest of what I had planned.
If you have been focussing on Gemma’s or Adel’s arc, or you haven’t been working on any of your house mates’ relationships, you can still complete Episode 2 as intended. However if you’re focussing on Christine, you will need to wait for next month’s update to view her scene.
The final scene for each of the girls does not affect their general progression however. So you can still play out which ever scene you like to continue the game as usual.
Next update we’ll be tieing off as many loose ends as we can fit in from previous content in preparation for starting Episode 3.

Thanks again for your interest in our first game!
Lumphorn Games is a Husband/Wife team and we’ve been working on the idea of Horton Bay for a few years at this point, and it’s been through several iterations, however this is our first public release.
We’ve built the actual town ourselves from scratch and also composed and produced all of the music you’ll find in game.
There are a few scenes where we’ve used assets from the Daz store, such as the locations in the intro, the characters themselves and maybe a third of the props in the game. But it’s mostly our own work.
The town is about 40% complete at the time of writing this, which is enough for the purposes of this game. However we’ll be continuing to exand it throughout the course of Jake, and all of the stories to follow – of which I hope to be many. We already have outlines for several more games that we’ll focus on, as this one comes to an end.

The first release of Jake contains not only the prologue, but also the entire first episode! We’ve done this for a few reasons:
Firstly, we wanted to actually give you guys something to play! For me, there’s nothing worse than finding a game that you’re interested in and have it stop after 30 minutes of playtime.
Secondly, we wanted to prove that we’re serious about the scope that we’re promising. This is no small feat and we realise that. At the time of me writing this there are currently 57 locations and over 100 NPC’s in the game! That’s a lot of story to cover! And that brings us to the third point . . .
We wanted to prove to OURSELVES that we could do it. The amount of work has been insane and we’ve done it with very little acknowledgment or reward. And after it all, we still want to carry on!

For the first few releases, you’ll notice that the streets and various locations are a little . . . empty. But that will change as we move forward. Shops will open, people will be going about their lives and the town will generally feel more ‘lived in’.
The goal is to have a wide range of activities for any given hour of any day, but that takes time.
This is especially apparent during the weekends. For now, there isn’t a lot going on during Saturday and Sunday while in free roam. The main reason for that is because the first weekend is taken up entirely by the events of episode 1 and by the time you reach the second weekend you’ll likely have already played out most of the content from the first release. There are some events that can only be seen after a few weeks in game, but not many yet. But filling up the weekends is definitely near the top of our priority list!

I’d also like to quickly mention a couple of things:

NTR – Is it avoidable? Yep. Not only that, but you can also turn it off so you won’t even see it by accident. However, I will say this – Turning off NTR won’t just stop everyone else in the game from having sex. If you decide that you want to make another guy’s girlfriend your love interest, that’s fine . . . but he’s still going to fuck his girl!
For the most part, we’ve tried to keep the NTR elements as consequences of the choices you make. Or at least the true cuckolding side of it. I don’t particularly like using the term ‘NTR’ as a blanket description as it has a wide scale of meanings and implications, but there are already one or two discussions on here about that subject!

Sandbox – Why? Well, why not? I know a lot of people dislike sandbox games and that’s fine. So we’ve made concessions for that, the same as we have for NTR.
If you don’t like the sandbox elements of the game, you can simply not play them, at least for the most part.
We’ve made this game a hybrid of sorts, where the main story plays out just like any other VN. Linear-ish story with choices that influence the outcomes.
However, there’s also all of the side stories! And that’s where the sandbox comes into play. You don’t have to play them if you don’t want to.
Personally, I enjoy both Sandbox and NTR in games. I like the freedom to play my own way and to have consequences for the choices I make. But I also get it that a lot of people don’t. So we’ve given you, the player, a choice.

Does this mean we have to wait for months on end to get new content? – No. Granted, each episode will certainly take more than a month to make. But we’ll try our best to put out at least one update a month (barring disaster) and if we can’t, we’ll also do our best to let you know why and when you might expect one.
Even if an entire episode is incomplete, you’ll still get to see whatever progress we’re making as time goes by. Plus you’ll still have any new free roam content regardless of the completion of any givn main story episode.
