This update delves deeper into the consequences of the rebel hack and introduces two new characters, Hana and Irene, whom need to figure out a new way to live with the transformations they have experienced. The update also features the first permanent transformation event, and we took the opportunity to add a new dynamic system to showcase the changes your character goes through, including when using temporary mods.

A brand new minigame has been added to Ascendent Towers, which now brings us to two out of three minigames implemented into the game.

In addition, we've continued to update the navigation system, and you will now be able to fast travel from the various locations at Novaris' Red Light District. Zara and Diane have also received additional content.

This is the last patch where things remain stale in regards to the main story. Starting with the next version, events will begin to ramp up over the course of versions 0.3.8 and 0.3.9 as we get closer to the next major release 0.4.0. We have a lot of cool stuff planned that we can't wait to share with you!

Have fun out there!
