We got another full month behind us! Release is a bit early today because of new year's.
This update focuses more on the lewd and corruption side. We have 8 new real world scenes, 2 new mental rooms, 3 new mental changes, 4 new lewd scenes, the Bar Job, 3 new costumes and 1 new H-CG. Besides these content additions there are also various quality of life additions such as the Compendium and an increase to 1280x720 resolution.
For the details, I recommend checking out the weekly devlogs. In this post I will be summarizing some of the major changes and what happened over the last week.
The Compendium logs several of Aura's changes in terms of hobbies, relationships and gives you an easy way to access previously hidden statistics such as secondary sexual stats. Since you can now see the stats, there are now also a couple (read two) checks that require a certain Exhibitionism to pass. Check out the Refugee Camp where you can now find a Prostitute than can teach Aura the new skill Seductive Stance I and progressing on the new Modeling Jobs at the artist.
In the Compendium you can also find the Beastiary section logging encountered enemies and also information that Aura has uncovered about monsters when talking to NPCs or interacting with certain objects. At the new Monstrologist in Trademond you can also now get a little reward for uncovering secrets about certain monsters.
Moving on to the corruption content, starting on the lewd side, we now two sets of two lewd scenes each. Two new minor lewd scenes can be found at the Riverflow artist and escalate the first modeling job. The other two lewd events can be found in the new Underground Pub in Nephlune, together with the new Bar Job. Artistically, besides the three costumes for the bar job, we also have a new H-CG illustrating the Breast Groping By John H-scene. With this all chapter 1 H-scenes are finally illustrated. By the looks of the poll we will probably be moving on to the Formula Peddler scenes next month.
On the corruption side of the real world, I mostly focused on continuing the plotline synergizing with the Vice stat that lead to unlocking the new Theft II passive skill that allows Aura to also steal some more major objects - Of course all perfectly rationalized. :D
On the mental side we have two new rooms, or in other words: All rooms in the Main Chamber can now be accessed! You can manipulate Aura's memory of her first date with George in the Key Memories Room and make also screw around with Aura's body sensitivity in the Instincts Room.
There is a lot of other minor stuff in the update, scenes building up Richard's and George's character, a couple of minor NPC and flavor event additions , lewd books being logged in the recollection room, some quality of life changes such as showing when the game autosaves, and so on.
For the full changelog I am just going to refer to the below section.
Happy new year everyone!

Comments
I wouldn't expect too much there since they aren't really much of a focus.

2022-01-01 16:33:56 +0000 UTCHey Dev! Thanks for the game. I remember reading about it on one of the forums. Checked out the art and it was pretty lame (sorry I know you made it on a paint program), but the tags picked my interest (corruption and NTR). So I decided to download it, and boy oh boy it was awesome. It basically had the prologue some normal scenes and 3-4 corruption scenes, but those were just right. I thought this dev deserves a chance to polish and finish this game, basically the first ever Patreon subscription I made was for this. Hope you will finish this game, not many have these slow corruption scenes, with all the minor mental changes for each. With continuing support: one of your fans!

2022-01-01 07:44:39 +0000 UTCSince we're getting in-combat lewds, I hope they'll be illustrated, in fact I'd rather see that than any of the current options for H-CGs.

2021-12-31 14:08:43 +0000 UTCTo clarify, buying the game on itch means eternal access to latest build?
2021-12-31 14:02:22 +0000 UTCHoly, that's a lotta stuff in one patch. What a way to end the year. I hope next year we come far enough to get some actual sex scenes. But given how quality driven of a man (woman? alien?) you are, I wouldn't be surprised if we see them on December next year at the earliest. But hey, at least I know they will be good.
