New Guild Mission — HELP AT THE CEMETERY, featuring two main paths and seven random events.

Tavern Expansion — new hypnosis, exhibitionism, and drinking events.

Exhibitionism Content — new camera-related options in four city districts.

Bug Fixes — tavern event fixes and other minor corrections.

City Map Update

The city map menu has received an artwork update!

The improved map art refreshes the visual presentation of the city and makes the map menu feel more polished.

This is a visual improvement to the existing map rather than a change to its navigation mechanics.

New Guild Mission — HELP AT THE CEMETERY

A new assignment called HELP AT THE CEMETERY has been added to the third category of Guild missions.

The mission introduces a new background for the cemetery caretaker's house and offers two main paths with different random events.

Mission content

2 main mission paths

3 random events in the first path

4 random events in the second path

Reputation matters

The cemetery caretaker may refuse to give the protagonist a job if her negative reputation reaches 250 or more in any of these districts:

Northern District

Eastern District

Western District

If this happens, the mission will still count as completed, but the character will receive only a minimal reward.

Tavern Content Expansion

The tavern has received several new events and gameplay improvements.

New hypnosis event

A new random hypnosis event has been added with three possible outcomes.

For hypnosis to work, the character must have either:

the Brainwashed perk

a sufficiently high Mind Curse value

New exhibitionism event

A new random exhibitionism event has been added with three possible outcomes.

To accept a patron's offer, the protagonist must have either:

the Exhibitionism perk

the Slut perk

Drinking with guests

A new event allows the protagonist to drink with tavern guests.

Tavern work improvements

Characters can no longer work in the tavern if their Intoxication or Poisoning is 60 or higher.

The random event system for tavern work has been reworked.

Fixed a bug that prevented two random tavern work events from triggering.

These additions expand the variety of tavern work and introduce more opportunities for character traits to influence events.

Exhibitionism — Camera Events

New camera-related options have been added to existing exhibitionism events.

The protagonist can now choose an option involving being caught on camera in:

Slums

Northern District

Eastern District

Western District

This expands the existing exhibitionism content with additional event choices.

Video & Animation Improvements

More video content has been added to the game.

Prologue

Two images in the main prologue have been replaced with videos.

Patreon content

(Patreon) New brothel animations have been added.

Technical improvements

The code responsible for replacing images in story passages has been updated.

It can now replace:

images with videos

videos with images

This provides more flexibility for future animated content.

New Sleep Setting — Corruption & Madness

After receiving frequent feedback about Corruption and Madness decreasing too much during sleep, I've added a new optional setting:

Sleeping Corruption Reduce Mod

When enabled, this option changes how sleep affects these parameters:

Corruption decreases by the minimum amount.

Madness decreases by the minimum amount.

Other modifiers no longer affect these reductions.

Please note: I don't recommend enabling this option, as it changes the intended balance of these mechanics. However, the choice is now available for players who prefer a different experience.

Guild Progression & Mission Improvements

Guild membership

The protagonist can now join the Adventurers' Guild only after receiving the main quest to join it.

This makes Guild membership follow the intended quest progression.

Guild mission widgets

Added descriptive flavor-text widgets to selected Guild mission scenes.

Maid mission

Adjusted the spacing between interface elements in the MAID'S JOB Guild quest.

Currency & Interface Improvements

The game's currency terminology has been made more consistent.

The word "Unit" has been replaced with "Money" or "Credits" where appropriate.

A note has also been added to the money section of the main menu's Help information explaining that Money in this city may also be called Credits.

Updated locations and interfaces

City Hall terminals

Hospital terminals

Western Arena District

Western Night District

Unnecessary service descriptions in the terminal interfaces have been removed and replaced with informational pop-ups.

Other Fixes & Improvements

Added a new background for the cemetery caretaker's house.

Made minor bug fixes and error corrections throughout the game.
