**Remember to load your save from the town square.**
**Also be sure to always install the game into a fresh folder (unless it's patch data) to avoid weird issues. Saves are kept in a separate location, so they're safe.**
**Content**
* The 'Livewire Alleyway Collision' event has been added to a new alleyway in the Starlight District. It can also be included as part of Labyrinth exploration runs. By Threshold, edited by Valentin Cognito.
* The 'Pedestrian Tunnel of the Pale Light' event has been added to the Capital. Currently, it can only be encountered at night, when traveling between the Starlight District and Phantasm District. It can also be included as part of Labyrinth exploration runs. By Threshold, edited by Valentin Cognito.
* Losing to two Kunoichi Trainees in the Blowjob stance now triggers a new loss scene making use of their new CG. By Threshold, edited by Valentin Cognito.
* Camilla now has a handful of conversations you can have with her, with variants depending on whether you're bound up or not. By Threshold, edited by Valentin Cognito.
* Added 'Camilla's Prey Invitation', a smol event directly leading to combat with Camilla which can be included as part of Mountain or Labyrinth exploration, and is unlocked by confirming in some way that you want to be Camilla's prey during her regular event. By Threshold, edited by Valentin Cognito.
* Added the ability to get to the Phantasm District and relevant descriptions depending on the time of day, although there is currently nothing to do there yet.
**Art**
* The Kunoichi Trainee now has a CG for the Blowjob stance, which is also used in one of the player victory scenes, as well as in the ending portion of Shizu's oral lesson, in addition to the aforementioned new loss scene. Art by Mistimagi.
* The Bubble Slime now has a CG for the Sex stance, which is also used in her loss scene, as well as in her 'Kiss her'/'Make out in the pool.' scene. Art by Jiffic.
* Bon Bon Bun now has its very own background. Art by DOPPEL.
**QoL**
* From v28.2 onwards, an error will be generated if the game has been erroneously updated by placing a new game copy over an older one. As a reminder: always play with a fresh new copy of the game! Saves are stored and accessed in a separate AppData folder, so you don't need to do anything to keep them from one version to another. By feltcutemightcleanlater.
* The menu bubbles have been optimized so they behave about 2.5x faster performance-wise, with smoother motion. By feltcutemightcleanlater.
* Poke the character bubbles fast enough, and something might happen...? By feltcutemightcleanlater.
* The auto save page can no longer be accessed via the save menu; only via the load menu. This will prevent auto saves from being accidentally overwritten manually. By feltcutemightcleanlater.
* Mods that have errors on startup are now disabled instead of crashing the game. Users are given notice of whichever mods failed to load. By feltcutemightcleanlater.
* Mods that have been disabled/uninstalled now have their Items, Perks, and Skills disabled till the mod is active again. By feltcutemightcleanlater.
* Mods now take roughly half the time to load. By feltcutemightcleanlater.
* The in-game mod menu has been greatly streamlined for ease of use. By feltcutemightcleanlater.
* Conflicts between mods will now be notified to the user in the in-game mod menu. By feltcutemightcleanlater.
* In-game installation of .zip mod files is now much more robust and reliable. By feltcutemightcleanlater.
* The Inventory menu now directly displays the Runes and Accessories tabs, skipping the now removed Equipment tab. By feltcutemightcleanlater.
* Stat information in the Character menu has received an overhaul, expanding the 'Derived Stats' subsection and providing up-to-date and hopefully easier-to-read tooltips. By feltcutemightcleanlater.
* Minor cosmetic improvements to tab styling have been made, and some separators have been added throughout the Character menu for better visual clarity and aesthetics. By feltcutemightcleanlater.
* Shop code has been rewritten, doubling performance and offering minor visual & UI improvements. By feltcutemightcleanlater.
* The description of the Overheat status effect now clarifies that it also increases the DC of hellhound-related stat checks by 5.
**Balancing**
* Increased Camilla's level from 15 to 25, and accordingly upped her stats and gave her a few new Perks, so that her fight offers a challenge more appropriate to the threat she's supposed to be.
* Manticore Spikes and Arachne Webbing now have a value of 500 Eros, up from 200.
* Since Ushris' requirement for using her 'Taming Lockdown' event was recently lowered, the related stat check's DC was decreased from 25 to 20, in order to bring its dangerousness more in line with her other Skills.
* When Paralyzed during a stat check and unable to resist, the player now regains 5% of their Energy, as if they had waited a turn, which should help avoid inescapable doom spiral situations.
* When using a Sleep-inflicting Skill, the related stat will now affect the potency of the Sleep instead of its duration.
* When using an Aphrodisiac-inflicting Skill, the related stat will now affect the potency of the Aphrodisiac.
* In the case of both Sleep and Aphrodisiac, the stat scaling is relative to the base potency, with each point in the stat equaling to +1%. For example, applying an Aphrodisiac/Sleep with a base potency of 10 while having 100 in the related stat will make for a total potency of 20. And applying an Aphrodisiac/Sleep with a base potency of 20 while having 25 in the related stat will make for a total potency of 25. While this is not exactly a huge buff for these status effects' scalings, I prefer to be careful so it doesn't get out of control, both for the player and monsters.
* For every 50 potency of Aphrodisiac applied to a character, that character now gains +25% Resistance to Aphrodisiacs, for balance purposes.
* A large number of enemy Aphrodisiac Skills have had their status chance reduced from 150% to 100% in order to give more relevance to Aphrodisiaic Resistance, including the above effect.
* The Bubble Slime has had her in-stance Aphrodisiac Skills' status effect chance reduced from 250% to 125%.
* Amy, meanwhile, has had her in-stance Aphrodisiac Skills' status effect chance upped to 200%, due to the design intentions of her Aphrodisiacs and their very limited duration.
* Charm Immune now prevents Charm from being applied even during a combat event, which should give more breathing room in some fights, and stop being a source of confusion for players.
* One exception to the above is some of Venefica's combat events, which now remove Charm immunity, as those instances are supposed to make you Charmed no matter what.
* When an action is interrupted by a Stun, it now ticks down the Stun's duration immediately, meaning that Stun can no longer end up eating effectively 2 actions depending on Initiative. This new tickdown count also includes extra actions from CallMonsterAttack.
**Modding**
* Items used out of combat that make use of |f| style functions should now always work properly.
* Added a SleepPotencyBoost Perk key, which can be used to increase the potency of the character's Sleep-inflicting Skills.
* Roled CGs can now check for separate monsters in a group encounter, e.g. 'Kunoichi Trainee 1' and 'Kunoichi Trainee 2'.
* Added an IfMonsterName function for very niche uses.
* Added EscapePre as a monster dialogue option, primarily in order to separate escape dialogue and CG removal.
* Mods are now enabled/disabled without needing to add an underscore before the mod folder's name, making for better UI feedback and user setting persistence. By feltcutemightcleanlater.
* Mods tested for v28.1+ can now make additions to any key. See the modding documentation for details. By feltcutemightcleanlater.
* Mods can now alter the addition behavior for any key. See the modding documentation for details. By feltcutemightcleanlater.
* Mod makers can now use the updated json validator in-game via a 'Debug' menu, in order to look up any automatically detected bugs and oversights within their mods. By feltcutemightcleanlater.
* The 'Debug' menu also includes an 'Overflow' tab, which lists any overflows automatically found both within the base game and within modded content. By feltcutemightcleanlater.
* All Set/Change functions now support % values (e.g. 50%) for both the player and monsters, including monster stats, player Eros, player experience, and more. By feltcutemightcleanlater.
* Added SetArousal and SetEnergy to player Set functions, as well as monster equivalents. By feltcutemightcleanlater.
* A LevelUpPlayer function has been added. It ignores negative values and accepts percents. Effect is immediate. By feltcutemightcleanlater.
* Added IfStats and IfMonsterStats, with all greater/less/equal operators supported as parameters. This function compares to monster idnames, as well as to percents wherever relevant. See the modding documentation for details. By feltcutemightcleanlater.
* Added IfSensitivity, IfFetish, and IfResistances, including monster equivalents, with the same specifications as the above functions. See the modding documentation for details. By feltcutemightcleanlater.
* Added IfHasFetishes (checks for level 25+ Fetishes) and IfHasPerks as an equivalent to IfHasSkills. By feltcutemightcleanlater.
* Added EquipPlayer and UnequipPlayer functions for managing player equipment. See the modding documentation for details. By feltcutemightcleanlater.
* Added GiveTemporarySkill and RemoveTemporarySkill as combat functions to modify the player's available Skills for the duration of a combat encounter. By feltcutemightcleanlater.
* PlayerMoney and ProgressDisplay markup now splits large numbers with commas by default (e.g. '2,000' instead of '2000'). 'NoC' variants are available to disable it. By feltcutemightcleanlater.
* GiveSkillThatWasTemporarilyRemoved now accepts the exact Skill you want to restore, as well as "All" for all temporarily removed skills. By feltcutemightcleanlater.
* SwapLineIf now supports dedicated and base checks for Exp, Virility (added base check), GoddessFavor, and Strain. By feltcutemightcleanlater.
**Fixes**

* Fixed Relaxi Appel Jelly, Mushmallow Jelly, and Jumbo Mint Choco Chip Clarity Cookie not properly working or displaying incorrect information outside of combat.
* Fixed an alleyway scene incorrectly being flagged as nighttime even during daytime.
* Fixed the possibility of some Club Mirage backstage effects not getting turned off properly.
* 'A Perfectly Normal Walk' now properly resets its variables every time the event has concluded, so that you're not immediately caught no matter what you do whenever you repeat the event.
* When doing 'A Perfectly Normal Walk' in exploration mode, the event no longer erroneously acts like it's always daytime at the start.
* Fixed Perpetua's arm vanishing during a scene with Amy.
* Cleaned up the Temptation Check display so it no longer overflows the textbox with information.
* Thanks to the Debug Validator, an issue was found and fixed with Opal always repeating her advice to check out the adventurers-only section when she's supposed to do so only once, during her intro.
* Thanks to the Debug Validator, a number of Livewire Skills now properly target the Breast Fetish, instead of a nonexistent 'Titfuck' Fetish.
* Thanks to the Debug Validator, Malicia's 'Attack anyway!' scene now properly increases the Monstrous Fetish, instead of a nonexistent 'Monsterous' Fetish.
* Thanks to the Debug Validator, the Melody & Cadence fight in Club Mirage now properly Stuns you at certain intervals due to Jennifer messing with you.
* Thanks to the Debug Validator, a hidden tracker in Sofia's 'Ambush her!' scene now properly increases.
* Thanks to the Debug Validator, an incorrect scene jump in the 'Matango Den' event now properly returns you to Town instead of sending you back to Church via an erroneous Game Over.
* Malicia's Favor now gives the +1 Spirit it says it does.
* Shizu's clones can now use solo Titfuck stance moves, meaning they will no longer get very confused if you struggle out of the others' Titfuck stances and they end up being the only one left to have you in a Titfuck stance.
* Thanks to feltcutemightcleanlater's new Overflow detector and Valentin Cognito's thorough pass, all textbox overflows except for deliberate ones have been removed from the game. (Word from Val: Of course, despite our best efforts, errors can still sneak in, so if you happen to spot non-deliberate-looking overflows in the future, do report them, as well as any typos you might come across!)
* The CGs of the Minotaur, Vili, the Manticore, Shizu, Nara, and Aiko will no longer stay incorrectly displayed if you use an escape Skill while they're sleeping.

* When the 'Rest till dusk.' option is used in the player's room at the Inn when it's already dusk, time will now always cycle back around to dusk, instead of stopping at evening or midnight.
* Fixed PlayerOrgasm and potentially other functions from eating VFX calls in certain circumstances.
* Stopped UsesMovePre from playing twice when used with attack Skills that inflict status effects. The issue lay most notably with Sofia repeating sfx and vfx calls, but had potential to cause other weird bugs.
* Assorted typo and editing fixes.
