Content Update #9 - Full Edition

Added 2022-10-02 15:02:55 +0000 UTC

As always - if you have ANY issues at all, don't hesitate to reach out!

!!!DO NOT DOWNLOAD THE GAME FROM THE OLD ITCH DEMO PAGE!!! Read the instructions below. If your game version says "DEMO" on startup, you have the wrong build.

Release Note Highlights

Detailed release notes with all changes are available in-game under "Updates" menu, as always.

WARNING: Saves are broken, sorry. Due to backend changes, when you load a save, it may crash the game OR display an error saying the background is missing. If it crashes, you will have to replay until that point. If missing error displays, you can ignore and continue if you want. Right-click the 'SKIP' button to jump to choices to get back where you were quickly.
Removed font size preference and made default the larger font option. (Less testing for me to deal with.)
Quinn's sprite added
Brandon's route finished.
Added forgotten CG to Sebastian's "I Never" game
Some of the old Lux & Quispe commentary has been re-added to Sebastian's route. I plan to add more commentary during the polish phase to all routes.
Lots of backgrounds have been changed.
New custom background for the food truck
Lots of typos & sentence clarity issues fixed
Major backend changes around backgrounds for future-prep and standardizing things, which broke backgrounds. (Had to do this eventually, sorry! I didn't realize how Ren'Py handles saves and background images. Did not think it would do so much damage when I started.)
In prep for future release, Steam Achievements are being added (not available until release). Due to this change, I've had to remove ending-conditional CG unlocks. For players, this means if a CG is added after an ending is achieved, you will now have to replay that ending to unlock it. That code prevented steam achievements from unlocking.

Type in the given password and press Submit.

You will be directed to this Itch.io page exclusively for Patreon members.

This page is only for downloads, so you won't see the usual game descriptions and images that the Demo page has. There will be no devlogs or updates posted here, so no need to follow this page.

Choose your version (Windows or Mac), and click download.

You are done! No further steps required. You can confirm your version is correct in the bottom-left corner. It should reflect the build you download AND list the version 'PATREON'.

If this says anything other than Patreon (ex DEMO, STORE), alert me asap! That means I made a mistake! The DEMO and STORE versions both exclude content.
