I got you, thanks <3 All updated now.

While the next update isn't entirely ready and out yet, I figure I can still post the last one now, it has been long enough.
All builds

Note the android .apk has early images compressed, but not the videos and just the first several scenes.

Version 2.8b is up for testing for pc/linux/mac for the top two tiers on subscribestar for those interested. Hope to have 2.8 full finished and tested by the end of next week for subscribers.

[acewinz]

Version 2.8 Full is up on subscribestar for all paid tiers.

 

[acewinz]

V2.8 went public so updating here as well.
The gofile and viking links are updated on the OP and hope the nice folks here at lewd corner can update anymore they want.

Episode 3 Full is out on Subscribestar for all paid tiers (not here yet). It completes the first Arc of the game, adds the next large sex scene and more, (up to 17 chapters now), and completes the main cast! This is also the point where I'd say if you were waiting to try out the game, this is a good point to jump in.

Thanks for your patience. Time for version 3.01 to be released here! I've updated the viking file links in the OP for all full versions (the rest will be on the nice folks here at Lewd Corner when they get around to it). This was a big one, don't think I've done an update this big since the first release.

It contains the full ep 3, some bug fixes, next major sex scene, gallery, fully updated with music, more sounds (though I still have more planned in this regard depending on how people respond to the recent sex scene).

Spoiler: Minor spoilers on the direction of the next arc.

This is the full first arc I planned for the start of the game and honestly has been far more world building than sex, next arc is planned to move faster with the sex (especially now that a certain someone is around), and with what we have experienced so far we have the groundwork laid for more corruptive or morally ambiguous choices going forward. I'm also pretty happy with how the other characters have shaped up... I'm to the point I don't have to think about the kind of character I'm creating with most of them, as they are now kind of in the driver seat and I'm just throwing them into situations.

I'd also like to ask that those of you who aren't in a position to financially support the game, but would like to do what you can, to consider following at the unpaid tier on subscribestar or X, and spread the word please. (Links in OP or my sig if you scroll to the bottom) I may even be able to consider going to steam in early access if I can get some more polish and support, but we'll see.

Thanks!

Thanks, had the same report from a mac user. It isn't really busted, just the title does some neat things now with the colors and outlines, but the coding gets displayed in the bar which I never use so I didn't notice.
I can make it so it isn't displayed like that in the title next update though I think.

I went live on steam today :S (They have a lot more rules about adult releases now btw.)

Game is discounted for two weeks and heading into a theme appropriate steam fest (assuming steam manages to get us added properly).

Also doing a key giveaway with details here (for those coveted free legal copies lol)

I seriously considered pushing an update here but I am afraid steam wouldn't look to kindly on that atm...
I added image tweaks (down to 3 gigs now) and full Spanish translations and working but not fully supported Japanese (it is available but not marked on steam because I feel it still needs some native speaker eyes on it imho).

My thanks to any kind souls who spread the word and wishlist! Maybe I should also offer "Justice for Pella" if I hit certain numbers? Or is that too hostagey?

Post automatically merged: Dec 19, 2025

Updated Mega/Viking links for the most current version 3.44 (would appreciate the mods handling the rest, thanks!) which added Spanish/Japanese and a lot of other tweaks listed in the changelog. This isn't the start of Arc 2 (which is releasing on subscribestar this month), but this is the jumping off point for the most compatibility.

Also, for those of you interested, TCOD is participating in the Steam Winter Sale at a nice discount (links below in my sig or on the front page). If you do have it on Steam would love to get some reviews so we can generate a rating, please and thank you.

And here is your obligatory Arc 2 teaser and wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season!

Spoiler: Arc 2 Teaser

 

[acewinz]

Arc 2 Episode 1 is out on subscribestar for all patreons!

 

[acewinz]

Arc 1 (Updated to 3.45) (General Fixes, and image correction)​

(Note if you have a "Steam Build" Error. It is safe to ignore it or delete SteamToggle.rpy and rpyc from your game folder if it does cause any issue. (Will be fixed in next update)"

PC/Linux version 3.45 full

Mac version 3.45 Full

Android version 3.45 Full

Arc 2 (New) <---​

Arc 2 is standalone and should still allow you to load a save to carry on from the end of the last scene of Arc 1 from version 3.44 on. (Fingers Crossed, renpy is very fickle with this and if you notice errors or something like rollback not working, might be best to just use quick/custom start, both are pretty painless and actually what I'd recommend.)

- PC/Linux version .001



- Mac version .001



- Android version .001



For anyone interested in a direct purchase, Arc 1 is available on Steam at a discount right now during the NSFW festival. Link in my signature below.
