Mikkoukun has already teased that v17 will focus on the "Goro’s Past" flashback arc, introducing a young version of a character from the original Camp Buddy. If you enjoyed v16, be sure to stay tuned for the next build expected in Q3 of this year.

Before diving into v16, let’s establish the baseline. Camp Buddy: Scoutmaster Season is a spin-off/expansion of the original Camp Buddy game. Instead of playing as the rookie camper Keitaro, you step into the shoes of Aiden Flynn and Yoshinori “Yoshi” Nakai—the two beloved scoutmasters from the original game.
The premise is simple yet tantalizing: What happens at Camp Buddy after the campers go to sleep? The game explores the complex, romantic, and often steamy relationships between the scoutmasters and other adult staff members. It features branching narratives, resource management (as you run the camp), and multiple endings.
