The Answer: "Coming eventually". As the team and I continue to get older, we've become very busy with irl stuff in our personal lives. Chapter 4 is still in development, but is taking much longer than originally anticipated. However, I can say it WILL eventually release! Thank you for your patience in the meantime!
Hello everyone, after over 2 years of development I am ecstatic and proud to finally share the next chapter in the Kitatcho Laboratories series! What was originally planned to be the final chapter in what would have been a trilogy of maps, we've decided to split the map in 2 as our ambitions for this series exceeded what we could realistically put into just one map. Because of this, expect Chapter 4 to hopefully come out sometime next year!
MAP FEATURES
In the meantime, Chapter 3 is still much bigger and more ambitious than the previous 2 chapters, and features the following:
- Over 20+ Chambers/Puzzles to solve!
- A fully voice-acted story!
- An original soundtrack with over 35 songs!
- Roughly 8-10 hours of gameplay (Over double the length of the previous maps)!
- A heavier emphasis on story, lore, and secrets!
- Slimeballs... like, a LOT of slimeballs.
DO I NEED TO PLAY THE PREVIOUS MAPS?
If you're new to the series you should be able to play Chapter 3 without needing to play the other maps while still having a fun and fulfilling experience, but we would still recommend you check out Chapters 1 and 2 so you can get a better understanding on the lore and running jokes throughout the three maps!
PREVIOUS MAPS
You can check out the previous chapters here*:
Chapter 1 - https://www.minecraftmaps.com/puzzle-maps/the-kitatcho-laboratories-chapter-1-2020-reboot

*Just make sure to play them in their appropriate Minecraft versions
CAN I PLAY WITH A FRIEND?
Chapter 3 is meant to be played in Singleplayer, and isn't recommended to be played with a friend. However, we did try our best to accommodate the map for 2 people, but this hasn't been reliably tested and we can't confirm the map will work as intended. If you do decide to play with a friend, play at your own risk!
THANK YOU!!!
Seriously, the amount of love and support we received for the first two chapters was beyond what we were expecting, and this gave us the motivation and ambition to create something on a whole other level than those maps. We really hope you enjoy the map, and please feel free to join our Discord to share any thoughts/feedback (which is linked in the map)!
We look forward to continuing to deliver more maps in the future with Chapter 4 and beyond!
