**Content**
* The movement infrastructure for the Starlight and Aphrodesia Districts is now in place, along with two 'district travel' events, one of which has a night variant with lewd interactions and a loss scene, while the other is specific to the Starlight District and only occurs at night, also with lewd interactions and a loss scene. Please keep in mind that these two districts are nowhere near complete, and will become much more complex and lively as more content gets added. By Threshold, edited by Valentin Cognito.
* Venefica now has a unique defeat scene when you lose to her Chocolate Marshmallow Temptation move. By Valentin Cognito, edited by Threshold.
* A new "Ask Ancilla if she wants help with work around the dungeon." scene has been added. By Valentin Cognito, edited by Threshold.
* A new scene has been added to Vili's "Sex" menu when you visit her. It must be unlocked by doing the new Ancilla scene beforehand (an addition to Vili's intro upon your next visit confirms the unlock). By Valentin Cognito, edited by Threshold.
* Once the Labyrinth is unlocked, the player can get a glory hole scene at the brothel with a Cavern ghost. By Oluap, edited by Threshold and Valentin Cognito.

* The Fashionable Succubus and Voltlin Livewire now have description cards, for people who play without art on.
* The Voltlin Livewire now has an Encyclopedia entry, and can be added to Labyrinth Exploration, as can the Livewire Alleyway Ambush Event. Both will later require the Intelligence Sigil, once it is implemented, in order to be selected in the Labyrinth.
* With the outline of district travel in place, there's now a 25% chance that there will be no Livewire encounter in the alleyway.
**Balancing**
* The Luck die that is rolled upon stat checks can now default to a 0 if your Luck is lower than 5 or greater than -5. Additionally, when your Luck is negative enough, it now rolls between a -1 and the lowest die number, instead of 1 and the lowest die number. So for example, a Luck of -17 will mean a result between -1 and -3.
* The Rut Perk now applies a -1 penalty to your Temptation checks. Livewire checks have been tweaked to accommodate this so they're not unfairly harder with this new global penalty.
* The Backed Up, Vili's Titty Slave, Semen Dispenser, Succubus Sex Toy, and Stella's Lipstick Slave Perks now apply a -1 penalty to your temptation checks.
* The Ass Worshipper and Breast Worshipper Perks now apply a -1 penalty to Temptation checks instead of increasing your Seduction Sensitivity by 5%.
* The Achingly Full Perk now applies a -3 penalty to your Temptation checks.
* Added the Temptation Resistant Perk, which requires the player to be level 20 to take, and gives a +2 bonus against Temptation checks.
* Against Temptation checks, Intelligence and Allure now each only give a bonus of (Stat-5)x0.05 instead of (Stat-5)x0.1, effectively halving their effectiveness.
**Modding**
* Added the TemptationCheckBonus Perk tag.
**Fixes**

* If the player is a lower level than the enemy they are fighting in Nightmare mode, the enemy's stat checks are no longer boosted.

This unlocks threesome scenes, including one exclusive to players with a Breast Fetish, as well as another scene exclusive to players with an Ass Fetish. By Valentin Cognito. Edited by Threshold.
**Art**

* Nara now has a sex CG. Art by NickBeja.

* Once you're in a relationship with Kaia, you can now visit her from the map directly, without having to go on a Mountain exploration.

* Decreased D.P.'s max Arousal by 500.
* Defeating Iabel now increases her level by 5, down from 10. In addition, running from her now increases her level by 2, down from 5. This should make running into her less punishing when you're ultimately forced to face her at the end of her floor.

* The damage boost that Holy skills (i.e. Demon Layer) get from Virility is now calculated before other stat bonuses, and no longer multiplies them as well, only base power.
* The Virility bonus to Holy Skills (i.e. Demon Layer) now goes up to 100% to cap out the Skill's base power, then scales at half rate, so 200% virility means the skill has 150% damage.

* The freely repeatable D.P. fights now have more suitable intro music.
* Fixed an issue where using keyboard controls on the map when selecting the Mystic Forest loaded a location that didn't exist, giving you a janked-out explore screen.

**Balancing**

* Relaxi Appel Jelly removes 50% of your Arousal down from 75%, but now also removes Charm and Aphrodisiac.

* You can now "Inquire about 'special services'." from Amber, featuring two expansive sex scenes with variants. By Valentin Cognito, edited by Threshold.
* There are 28 new facts that can be given out by Ancilla. By Threshold and Valentin Cognito. Also facts are no longer randomized and play in a specific order, and after she states the fact you are taken to the same talk menu instead of her first one, so you can easily ask for another fact.
**Balancing**
* Sofia's Mind Melting Makeout skill can now transfer into a MesmerizingMakeout-related skill check if you are Charmed or at 5 stacks of Trance (instead of just at max, deeper into that combat event).

* Increased Amy's max arousal from 500 to 750.
**QoL**
* Fetching json functions is now a near-instant calculation cost, regardless of what function is being fetched. This will greatly reduce performance variance of dialogue. The cost of running the functions themselves still stands. By feltcutemightcleanlater.
* After getting a Perk, you no longer need to hit Confirm Stats to be able to take Perks with that previous Perk as a prerequisite (however, you still need to confirm the Perk).
* When moving or interacting in the Labyrinth, your action is counted before any events occur. This means Aphrodisiac and Paralysis effects are now triggered before combat and events. This also means that being affected by Aphrodisiac in combat doesn't result in immediate Aphrodisiac damage right after combat.
* Since you're given the choice to proceed onwards or go to Town after clearing the Labyrinth for the first time, the status effects on the player are now cleared, so you're not potentially still kiss-covered from Iabel while interacting with Perpetua.

* Greatly reduced memory being unnecessarily used by the map menu, owing to Ren'Py calculating lots of collision box data for map icons, due to previously using 1080p images with lots of empty alpha pixels for exact positioning. By feltcutemightcleanlater and Threshold.
* HP, SP, and EP bars are now animated rather than instantly changing values. This can be toggled under the Animated UI setting in Options. By feltcutemightcleanlater.
* Menu choices now have a small and brief zoom affect. This can be toggled under the Animated UI setting in Options. By feltcutemightcleanlater.
* The quick menu choices now have a drop down animation. This can be toggled under the Animated UI setting in Options. By feltcutemightcleanlater.

* The item shop now properly reflects the recovery value of items. By feltcutemightcleanlater.
* Fixed exception when closing the character menu while hovering over the exp bar. By feltcutemightcleanlater.
* Stella's hidden StellasLipstick fetish tracker is now properly capped at 100 instead of scaling off forever. Found by the validator update.
* Ushris' green tile temptation event's Offer your cock to her small breasts! scene now properly increases Kissing fetish instead of Kisses Fetish (which isnt real). Found by the validator update.
* Fixed the restraint tooltip not working if the restraint is started outside of combat, alongside related restraint combat menu choices bugging out. By feltcutemightcleanlater.
* Fixed an instance where Shizu could softlock you with her footjob attack chain in her clones fight if a clone was missing, effectively edging you forever if you couldn't pass the check to escape.
* Fixed the defense bonus perks actually making your defend action worse instead of better.
* Assorted typo/editing fixes.

* Premium Quality now gets properly sorted with the other Perks.
* Unequipping items that increase your Favor will now lower your current Favor to your new maximum if you take them off.

* You now need to interact with treasure chests in the labyrinth to open them, with the enter key or the button in the center of movement, much like the doors.
* The third floor of the Labyrinth's second phase has been tuned up in the following ways:
* Instead of some paths being blocked off, some walls are removed.

* Some paths that were previously walled off are instead trapped with shadow trap tiles.
* Beris tags out with Ceris.
**Balancing - Stat Checks**
* Stats during stat checks for energy cost calculations no longer have their roll bonus reduced by 25%, meaning lower scores like a +1 will still apply a 5 EP cost reduction to the check. This will also make higher scores also more readable and effective for how much energy will be reduced.
