Early Access Release - 0.22

Hello Patreon Meerkats,

This update is another big one! Not as big as 0.21's 51.5k words, but this update still comes in at a solid 41.7k words. It features the entirety of Day 16 and rewrites of Day 2 and Day 3. I ended up finishing a little sooner than expected, but I'm sure you all don't mind that. I'm hoping that I can get another update out this April, but I'm not sure if I can. I will do my best though!

You all will hate a new character introduced this update. I'm very excited for reactions. This game has been very fluffy so far.

I do want to warn you that if you aren't at least androgynous, the game ends early! This is because I just couldn't support the route where you don't transform anymore. It was costing a ton of resources, and I felt continuing to spend money and time on a route that's antithetical to the theme of the game was wasteful. The route where Ethan does transform but is cisgender will continue to be supported!

The shopping trip update is still planned for 0.24! It's honestly what even I'm looking forward to writing! There are going to be a ton of things to buy, so I hope you all enjoy it.

See you all soon for more!

Much love,

amaty
