The Futa Experiment 0.97 — Act 3 Begins (Patreon)

Hi everyone!

The Futa Experiment 0.97 is now available, and Act 3 has officially begun.

The most noticeable change is the game’s completely rebuilt user interface. Almost every major screen has been redesigned, but this release also introduces the opening Act 3 storylines, Rebecca’s first full progression route, major new Café and apartment content, an expanded Journal and Scene Archive, and a substantial compatibility and stability pass.

⭐ A Completely New UI

The interface has been rebuilt across almost the entire game to make everything cleaner, more consistent and easier to navigate.

The overhaul includes:

A completely redesigned main menu

New player character-creation screens

A new in-game pause menu

Rebuilt settings, achievements and help screens

A dedicated Journal dashboard in the apartment

A redesigned Scene Archive with character hubs and location browsing

A new visual shop with categories, requirements and purchase confirmation

A new Status Dashboard for relationships, lust, addiction and Rebecca’s progression

An expanded Facility Link containing assignments, messages, contacts, personnel files, Vitals, the Heart Monitor, Player Status and Gallery access

Redesigned Hallway, apartment and Underground Facility navigation

New notification markers, locked-content explanations and clearer progression information

This is much more than a visual reskin. The Journal, Gallery, shop, phone and navigation systems have been reorganised around the new interface so objectives, character progress and available content are easier to understand.

Act 3 Begins: Anita’s Exposure Test

The final Act 2 stinger now leads directly into the opening storyline of Act 3.

Anita calls the player in for a new exposure experiment featuring:

The route changes according to how the player approaches the experiment and establishes the next stage of Anita’s story.

Rebecca and the Lower Cells

Rebecca’s brief appearance in 0.95a now develops into her first complete storyline.

The new route includes:

A new assignment from Montanna

Cass escorting the player into the restricted Lower Cells

Rebecca’s first supervised meeting

Later private visits and daily check-ins

Rebecca gradually receiving greater freedom and room access

Choices affecting her Trust, Stability and Attachment

New encounters involving Tatiana, the Helper and Eliza

Ambient Lower Cells events and additional facility lore

A full intimacy progression with first-time, refusal and repeat variations

Rebecca also has her own Journal progression, Status Dashboard information, personnel record and Scene Archive sections.

Major Café Expansion

The Café has received a large collection of new events connected to Cass’s Aggression progression and Anita’s pheromone storyline.

This includes:

25 new conversations

Casual, pheromone, aggression and combined variations

Different events depending on whether Girlfriend is present

Three variations of a shared Cass, Anita and Girlfriend scene

A separate Anita and Girlfriend couch scene

New Intimate Content

Additional confirmed scenes include:

New Anita bedroom routes for both male and female players

A new Montanna bedroom scene for the female-player route

A Montanna and Girlfriend bathroom encounter

A three-person conclusion to Tina’s Goth Chick outfit route

A direct Girlfriend and male-player apartment scene

Nearly 700 image files have been added since 0.95a

Girlfriend Relationship Expansion

Your girlfriend now has more than 30 new conversations and reactions covering:

Daily life inside the facility

Recent story events

Attraction and intimacy

Boundaries and jealousy

Previous encounters

Her changing opinions of the facility’s residents

You can also wait for your girlfriend to return from her current activity and react to where she has been.

A new relationship-pressure system tracks secrets, jealousy and witnessed encounters involving both the player and Girlfriend. This can lead to confrontations, reconciliation, arguments, discussions about opening the relationship, nights spent apart and consequences the following morning. (Will be built upon in future updates).

Journal, Facility Link and Scene Archive

The Journal and phone systems introduced in 0.95a have been substantially expanded.

The Journal now has a dedicated dashboard

Story, Girlfriend, the six main residents and Rebecca have separate sections

Updated sections display notification markers

New objectives cover Act 3, Rebecca, the Lower Cells and recovered tapes

Facility Link now combines assignments, alerts, messages, contacts, personnel records, Vitals, the Heart Monitor, Player Status and Gallery access

Personnel information and live biometrics can be unlocked as relationships develop

The Gallery has become a much larger Scene Archive, featuring:

Character hubs and location browsing

Separate player and Girlfriend viewpoint categories

Dedicated Rebecca and Lower Cells sections

Clearer locked-scene information

Recovered Tapes and Dream archives

Dozens of new or newly indexed replay entries

Stronger replay protection so scenes cannot permanently alter the active save

Tapes 6, 10, 11 and 12 can now be discovered during normal play. Together with Tapes 2 and 16, all six supported recordings can be tracked in the Journal, watched using the apartment VHS player and replayed from the archive.

Fixes and Compatibility

This release also contains a major compatibility and stability pass:

Fixed older saves restoring the wrong rooms or character locations

Fixed saves resetting to the historical Cass/infirmary state

Fixed older saves crashing when loaded directly into the apartment menu

Added recovery for very old saves returning to script sections that have moved

Fixed the historical Cass examination-room crash

Repaired Samantha’s player and Girlfriend control progression, including affected older saves

Fixed the empty Watch Tapes menu error

Fixed Girlfriend refusing the strap-on request at exactly 80 relationship

Repaired and revalidated Tina and Girlfriend’s Goth Chick routes

Fixed incorrect, missing and unreachable Gallery or camera unlocks

Fixed Gallery entries opening the wrong replay

Corrected phone, tracker and scheduled-event room checks

Improved rollback safety in phone conversations and Samantha’s hypnosis minigame

Corrected mismatched image, audio and media files

Removed obsolete interface calls and development material from the release

Compatibility was tested using real saves from 0.92a, 0.95a and 0.96. The tested saves retained their correct week, day, time and location rather than resetting to the old Cass/infirmary scene.

Save Recommendation

Older saves are supported, but a new playthrough is strongly recommended for 0.97.

This release introduces many new story flags, relationship checks, Journal states and Act 3 progression variables. Older or heavily modified saves may therefore miss scenes or enter new storylines at an unexpected stage.

Thank you for supporting the project. I hope you enjoy the beginning of Act 3 and finally getting to explore what is waiting beneath the facility!
