'''Heaven's Gate''',here]]. InAWorld where Charlotte never thought up the idea of a very short SpinOff kinetic novel, was released on September 28th, 2017 kind observer to guide her, [[GoodJobBreakingItHero thanks to Seth giving up their name to save Charlotte]], she's grown up to be a much more bloodthirsty girl, surrounded by equally deranged housemates. When her girlfriend, Anri, goes missing in the TV World, Charlotte sets out to find her, wielding the power of the Oracle she killed and can absorbed into herself to consume anything in her path. [[OldShame Etherane isn't particularly fond of this game]], and it stands as the only fully non-canonical entry in the story.
* '''Episode 3:''' ''Childhood's End'': Released on January 5, 2018; Can bedownloaded bought [[https://etherane.itch.io/hcep3 here]], or on Steam. ''Childhood's End'' is divided into two chapters:
** ''Episode 0 - And so it Goes'': Follows a different Charlotte Wiltshire, named "Unit Q84", as she goers about her daily business in a much DarkerAndEdgier version of The House. After school, she gathers [[{{Cult}} The White Society]] to record the [[MurderDotCom Execution Hour]], where students get to vote on their fellow classmates to be [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin executed live on television]], fully aware they're all {{NPC}}s in a video game that she has no control over. She is opposed by Scarlett Eyler, the StudentCouncilPresident, who has an agenda of her own. [[AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent Meanwhile, elsewhere, Charles Eyler]] learns his online friend, "C", is planning to commit suicide, while his best friend Anri is moving away from town. To make matters worse, he is haunted by the {{Tulpa}} of Scarlett Eyler, his unborn sister, whom he can only keep away through liberal use of antipsychotics, as his [[SanitySlippage grip on reality begins to loosen]].
** ''Episode 3 - Childhood's End'': Follows Scarlett Eyler as she tries to find her classmate, Charlotte Wiltshire, who has just ascended to godhood and subsequently killed everyone in her school. In escaping, she finds herself in Charlotte's home, where she meets Felix Honikker and Charlotte's other housemates. Compelled by an unknown voice calling to her, and newfound contact with Charlotte's [[{{You}} puppeteer]], Scarlett sets off to find Charlotte and make sense of just what is going on around her. [[AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent Meanwhile, Charles Eyler and Q84 learn the true nature of the world]].
* ''Heaven's Gate'': A very short SpinOff kinetic novel, released on September 28th, 2017. Can be downloaded [[https://etherane.itch.io/hg here]], and was later released on Steam on October 4th,2018, 2018. The story acts as an epilogue of sorts by showing a version of the True Realm where Charles' life was somewhat easier, as he met Vincent at an early age, did not have to say goodbye to Anri, and his mother was able to hang onto her sanity. Because of this, Scarlett Eyler never came into being. While this might sound like a LighterAndSofter ComfortFic; Charles' childhood is anything but comforting for himself or his loved ones, who still must contend with the reality of coming of age in an imperfect world. The Steam UpdatedRerelease includes DownloadableContent in the form of a bonus story.series of diary entries from Episode 3's version of Anri, showing the events of that game through her perspective, and providing clarity on the fate of Charles and his mother.
* '''Rehab Friday ~with Henry Huxley~''': An upcoming SpinOff PuzzleGame starring Dr. Huxley. As of now, little is known about it or its contents, other than it takes place on the alien world of Uberia, where Huxley and his alien workers originate from, and seems to star children named after the workers in the house. Whether it will have any connection to Hello Charlotte remains to be seen.
Though originally intended as a simple puzzle game to experiment with, the series would eventually develop into a much more personal project for etherane, who would go on to expand on the world of the series in her social media through ConceptArt and AlternateContinuity speculations, mostly through Tumblr. Unfortunately, much of the supplemental material found in these posts was lost when etherane deleted most of her social media presence, remaining only in [[TheWikiRule the fan-run Hello Charlotte wiki]] and a scattered few other sites.
In late 2022, etherane began an interactive AlternateRealityGame on twitter, in the form of polls wherein Q84 asked her twitter followers to help her nurture a parasitic organism within the body of one of her classmates, also providing some closure on Delirium's version of Charlotte, showing what Charles is up to, and generally providing cameo appearances by every other major secondary character. This concluded with ''[[https://twitter.com/etherane/status/1605877898761494529 Rendevouz with the Other]]'', a short comic digging deeper into Q84's past and explaining how she came to obtain her nihilistic outlook on reality.
