(You weren't able to pleasure her if you declined Leias date.) And please load a save from before the major prison scene in 0.4. Just to make sure it works. In 0.6, saves from the end of 0.5 will work. I learned one or two things in the past few days.

New Abigail mode is used. This update features more H scenes than all other updates together. (I had to cut one Animation away due to a little error. It was the most complex animation with 180 frames and various stages. It had a small error that I didn't notice at first. This animation took 6 days to render. I will re-do it later in the game and add it with the missing Melinda animation from 0.4) Many Quality of life changes in the previous versions. I deleted a lot of unnecessary clicks & fixed some grammar errors. There are 5 routes through this update. Route 1: Katie Route 2: Zoey Route 3: Dana Route 4: Emilie Route 5: Darkstar (Katie*, Zoey* & Darkstar route can be chosen.) (*Katie & Zoey route only under specific circumstances. Otherwise Route 1 - 4 are randomized and can't be chosen manually.) (Look into the walkthrough for more info.) H Scenes: KatiexMC HJ KatiexMC blowjob KatiexMC cunnilingus ZoeyxMC cunnilingus ZoeyxMC sex (x2) ZoeyxKatiexMC threesome oral EmiliexMC missionary EmiliexMC cowgirl EmiliexMC doggy Possible NEW impregnations: Emilie Zoey Mirus story also begins in this update. I highly recommend looking into the walkthrough after the first playthrough. I'm still very new when it comes to animations. Sometimes I had to reduce the quality of some mesh maps because it was too much for my PC. This was by far the most challenging update. Not because of all the routes, no. Because of the time, it took to render everything. Sometimes I got so fatigue that I asked myself if this is worth it. Then on top of that, I had to renew my health care due to the fact that I now count as a self-employed person. I now have to pay 280$ a month for it, just because I make a little more than 450€. As you can see, at the moment I'm working for almost nothing. But I'm not a quitter and the ability to live out my creativity keeps me going. I hope you'll like the update. You may notice some differences in render quality. That's because I learned a lot in the last 3 weeks and used my new knowledge on a few renders. v0.4a - Fixed several coding bugs. v0.4 ~ 900 renders ~ 4 animations v0.3 ~ 1080 new renders - 1 Animation - Fixed bugs from the previous version. - Added transition between old scenes. Safes won't work. (I had to rewrite the early scripts due to an important matter.) This might be the only time that the saves won't work. I would consider this release as a beta release. I checked what I could, but something unexpected happened. I'm going to re-check it tomorrow. Please report any bugs to me. I will fix them asap! v0.02a - 740+ renders got significantly improved. - The file is now much smaller. (2.36GB -> ~ 1GB) v0.02 - 517 new renders. - Fixed several spelling mistakes. - Added some transitions between old scenes. - Fixed lightning issues of some old scenes.

Have you ever been in a situation where you join a group of people at some party and they're talking about something really enthusiastically, but you have no idea what they're talking about, so you're just standing there awkwardly and…

Based on Chapter 4 Fix 1 This is a classical cheap ego booster with even cheaper nudity. All chicks are throwing themselves at MC without any logical reason. There are also gazillion scenes where MC is talking/cuddling/touching with nude/seminude female…

Not your typical fap game. I've never played an erotic novel before where I was mainly focused on the story rather than any explicit scenes. Great art aswell but the story really caught me. Love it so far, can't wait…
