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

The main focus of this update is by a large margin the side content: Challenge the new Northern Forest of Runes area and for those who wish to lewd Aura, there are 3 new lewd events in the the game!

The new area covers a wide range of difficulties. The initial part at the start is most likely much easier for many players than the beginning of the southern forest. On the other hand, there are some new optional bosses and encounters that are likely to be difficult, but overall it depends on your build. The new area comes with new harvestable materials, lots of loot to discover, new bosses to challenge who give you new materials that allow for a wider range of building your Aura.

For those of you on the brink of facing a dead end: There is also some Blessed Water hidden inside! So keep your eyes open to explore the region.

As for the lewd scenes, they also cover wide ranges of lewdness. There is the Maid Job which doesn't have all too much lewdness in it besides Aura being sexually harrassed... well and a little bit drugged. The scene with the highest degree of lewdness if probably the new handjob scene. However, the lewdness requirements for this one are quite high. Let me warn you that you will need to see all other lewd scenes or trigger pink scenes to get access to this one.

Besides these changes, there are also 4 new corruption scenes. 3 of them following up the Popularity I mental transformation. There is also a new mental transformation Estrangement I which also triggers the 4th corruption scene that furthers the breakdown of Rose's and Aura's relationship. As for real life scenes, there is also 1 new common scene taking place in the school cafeteria. It will later be used as the basis for new corruption scenes where Aura switches from her current club table to Alicia's.

From Jane there are also great new flavor event to explore.

Besides that you may find many small changes such as the new (temporary) title screen, some eliminated [NOT IMPLEMENTED} messages, the ability to acquire a formulae for creating Stasis Bombs, new special effects to better distinguish skills, quality of life improvements, new facial expressions, a new NG+ powerup option, and more!

There are also various balancing adjustements and bugfixes as usual.
