Version 0.2.9.1 (Lani, Marla, and Expeditions)

Update:
There has been a new fixed version, now labeled v0.2.9.1. If you have downloaded the previous version on PC or Mac, there is a patch file at the bottom of this post if you'd like to update the game yourself. The full version downloads have been updated to the new corrected version.

This has been a long time coming (I say that a lot...), but it's finally ready for you guys! Rewind version 0.2.9 is the largest update so far and introduces two new game mechanics that will eventually be rewritten from scratch (assuming history repeats itself): Expeditions and Cooking.

Expeditions are a way to explore (shock), and also a means to increase Lani's affections WITHOUT using the guild, and thus never alerting Miri of Lani's existence (for a while). In the future, this will offer variations on the sorts of interactions you can have with Lani, but right now that is relatively limited to just a few changes here and there. Anyway, once players get relatively far in the expedition system, they'll learn that it's a very efficient way to farm both items and skill books, and there are quite a few small interactions with Lani that keep things relatively fresh for a while (assuming she's in your party).

Cooking goes hand in hand with Expeditions. You are required to cook at least once per day during any expedition, and your skills in cooking will influence the other members of your party (only Lani right now). Lani will remember everything you've cooked for her, so if you feed her nothing but poisonous rubbish, she'll make fun of you and generally bemoan the idea that she has to eat to survive. On the other hand, if you explore the recipe system and discover her favorite recipe, she'll heap you with praise and thinly-veiled innuendo (unless you've been poisoning her for months already...). This is currently just conversation changes based on her opinion of you, but cooking will unlock special scenes and a character's opinion of the player's cooking will influence their general opinion of Liam.

Of course, both Exploration and Cooking come with their own special titles, and there's a new flag for Liam's bedroom that influences the exploration success rate.

Finally, and probably the most important part of this update, this is the first of many releases intended to flesh out the interactions between characters in their general daily lives. There are dozens of scenes (both complex and simple) that show Lani and Marla's general daily banter. If you've ever wondered how Lani got her pajamas, what the girls think about the chicken, or whatever happened to Marla's plant experiments, then you are in luck. There are also large additions to both the title conversation between Mom and Dad AND the prayers in the Temple. There are considerably more prayer variations for each God (10 each) and many prayers give larger experience rewards in this version. There is also a new title linked to the number of times Liam prays at the Temple.

FINALLY! Lani's romance content has been expanded. This release focuses on the polyamorous route between Lani, Marla, and Liam (I was already making a lot of scenes with Lani and Marla together, so this was the natural choice for the sake of efficiency). I'm fully aware that not everyone wants to romance both characters at once, and I assure everyone that there will be options to pursue one, neither, or both girls as the story progresses. That said, this update will unlock only the one route and includes three animations that I hope everyone will enjoy. They're barely up to the standards that I want, but I learned a lot, so the next ones will improve further.

There's even more that I won't mention in paragraph form, but the full changelog is below.

Notes!!
This patch is only required if you downloaded the original 0.2.9 version of the game. If you have 0.2.9.1, then you are up to date (version number is at the bottom right of the title menu).

Android Notes!!
Version 0.2.9.1 is the first version of Rewind that supports secondary backup saves. This feature means that Rewind now asks permission to access your device's storage. This permission is used to search for old save files, duplicate saves, and create a secondary folder where saves are stored.
