Save games should be compatible! Just copy paste your old save game folder.

And as usual here is now the public release! In this post, let's take a quick review of the most important changes!

The most obvious one is probably the introduction of H-CGs. We now have 3 illustrated scenes and in the clear room you can find 1 bonus CG. If you have already unlocked the lewd scenes, check out the clear room and enjoy rewatching "Kissing John", "Showing Panties to Alchemist" and "Groped by Jailer". If you rewatch them, you might also notice a couple of additional sound effects here and there.

Then, in terms of isekai content, you are now able to start the Festival Day! In order to get to it, you will have a lewd and a non-lewd option. Of course this means a new lewd scene, though it just involves dirty-talking. Check out the young merchant once more and see if he can take you to Arwin's party! Speaking about lewd, it is also now possible to influence the minimum lewdness requirements. If you are stuck at lewdness 4 and really and to see the slime summoner scene, try out lowering your willpower to 60. The Cursed stated I, II, III now respectively reduce the minimum lewdness requirements by 1,2,3.

Then, let's have a look at the corruption content. You will find a total of 11 new corruption scenes and 2 mental changes. One of the new mental changes also lowers Aura's reservations regarding lewdness a bit. This follows the previous change of making minimum lewdness requirements less static.

In the mapping derpartment we have major advances in overhauling all maps to the new tileset. A major thanks to the new contributor Dragonbait who has helped remap many of the maps. Here I have to take a warning however! The new maps have received quite some testing by me and then also by the patrons who played the pre-releases but there is a good chance that there are some bugs here and there! So please report anything you find!

The last set of changes is the usual bunch of bugfixes. For the compiled changelog, see below.
