• Delivering artifacts is rewarded with 50 e-coin

• New billboard, TV, computer ads and chat options about artifact retrieval

• It's possible to steal an ID from the curator's warehouse (while checking the books)

• After delivering 3 artifacts, players are introduced to Kaelin

• Kaelin will give players an ID if they don't have one already

• New quest by Kaelin to infiltrate Isara Inc

• Players can find out information by gaining access to Isara Genomics and entering Isara's Vauls, or accessing Isara's DB

• When completing each quest, players are rewarded with a reputation boost with the Administration and +20 trust with Kaelin

• After completing one of those subquests and reaching trust 40 (with two quests or other means), players can join the Administration under Kaelin, with a weekly pay of 30 e-coin

• Players need to report to Kaelin weekly

• To satisfy Kaelin, players can bring in artifacts or report the activities of Isara Inc, Synapse Corp or the Thulle Deviants if they belong to those factions

• Players can also feed lies to Kaelin

• Feeding actual information about other factions has a chance of resulting in a reputation penalty against that faction after several days

• Feeding lies to Kaelin has a chance of a reputation penalty against the Administration and a trust fall

• If players fail to report to Kaelin, they are brought to her by guards, with an additional reputation and trust loss

• At trust zero, Kaelin will enslave players in the digging works

• Players can now find artifacts at Main and North Street and East Street manors lootboxes

Spy Interrogation:

• Horama is now Kaelin's rival

• Changes to Horama's age and features

• Police encounters have a higher chance

• When working for Kaelin, Horama will send guards to capture the player for an interrogation

• Entering Horama's hall will also trigger the scenes

• Four new interrogation punishment scenes

• Harder scenes if the 'Heavy Punishments' toggle is active

• Players can moan lustfully during the interrogation (seduction check) to turn it into a sex scene without giving Horama answers

• New BDSM sex scenes: masturbation (penis/pussy variants), vaginal, anal (strap-on variants), vaginal/anal trains (strap-on variants)

• Sharing information with Horama has a chance of ending the interrogation

• Sharing misinformation has a chance to end the interrogation but also to prolong it

• If players stay quiet they will continue to be punished for hours until freed by Kaelin

• Begging increases Horama's trust but also submission

• On release, Kaelin will either promote the players (Trust check) or abandon them

• Once players are promoted to Detective, they're no longer bothered by Horama or the Police and they get 40 e-coin weekly

• If players manage to finish the interrogation without giving Horama any actual information, they get a reputation buff with the Administration and a trust increase with Kaelin

Diggin Works Update:
