Story

  • All 12 routes rewritten from start to finish, for all 13 women
  • Every route now has a proper ending
  • New story thread: a mystery about your father, with one clue in every route
  • The women now know each other, and some of their stories cross
  • New town events: a summer storm and a summer fair, with most of the women taking part
  • Each route's big turning point now has more at stake, and more of it happens on screen
  • Every intimate scene has new lines, written for each scene and each speed
  • Maya's threesome storyline is now playable (only with group content turned on)
  • A new night at the cove for Callie, and a new post-story night at Professor Bailey's house
  • You can now pick your reply to Diana's, Kate's and Robin's text messages

Art & animation

  • 10 new animated scenes, each with slow, medium and fast speeds
  • 35 new climax animations
  • 51 new CGs, 40 new backgrounds and 80 new expressions
  • 48 new character sprites, in 11 new outfits and poses
  • 9 new side characters with their own sprites: Richard, Derek, Priya, Augie, Dot, Professor Whitcomb, the Stranger, the landlord and the concierge
  • 7 older CGs redrawn, plus a redrawn beach and town library

A living town

  • Kate, Diana, Sophia, Vivienne and Robin now move around during the day — find them in 46 new spots
  • Carmen's bar gets a stage, with music nights on Thursdays
  • Misty the cat now lives at Sophia's house
  • The town map names every location and shows where all 13 women are. A ring around a face means a story scene plays there

Interface

  • New dialogue box, new font and color-coded name tags; your character's thoughts get their own card
  • New choice cards: pick with the number keys 1–9, and see which choices you already took
  • History grouped by day, showing the choices you made
  • New step-by-step tutorial, replayable from Help, plus a new "Stuck?" help tab
  • Redesigned HUD with a night look, plus a new room bar, backpack and phone home screen
  • On phones, all text is now at least 22px

Language & fixes

  • The whole game is now in Spanish, including all the rewritten routes
  • Fixed old saves failing to load when they were made in the middle of a scene
  • Fixed text messages popping up in the middle of scenes, and about 95 wrong or missing To-Do hints
  • Fixed the Android Back button and menus running off the screen on phones
  • Many more fixes across the routes, the map and the phone

Heads up: v0.91 saves still load, but start a new game to get the full rewritten stories.

This one took a long time, and it's the update I'm proudest of. If you play it, tell me which route hit hardest.
