A little bit of this, a little bit of that

Encounter Progress: Hide and Seek

So, you're in vampires' mansion, remember? And the girl in front of you looks really vicious... but perhaps its not actually that hard to deal with her, you just have to keep in mind that not only vampires can suck...

This danger is not the greatest one in the house though, as the girl that met you is a mere heiress to the lineage's matron, which is just about to check on her daughter. You'll have to hide from her, as she will most definitely be not happy to see an intruder. Fail - and get impaled, but succeed - and you'll have a chance to get back to your business with the younger vampire. Once she's satisfied, you'll be left to your own devices. You can easily find the portal and sneak out, but you want to look around first, don't you? As you wish, but remember, Mother Vampire is still around...

Even if she has only an honorable mention in the "Longest Claws" category, it won't help you - she'll impale you in an instant. You can't outrun her, either - she'll catch up with you in no time. But what if you lure her in... Where? That's a good question, there aren't many rooms on this floor... Maybe if she sees how well you've pleasured her daughter, her heart will soften a little? Or maybe she'll just get angrier, who knows... Either way, you don't have that many options, so if I were you, I'd give it a try!

New item: gemstone

It doesn't have any hidden features (at least not yet) - it's just a beautiful (and damn expensive) item that just about any girl would be happy to receive as a gift. You can find this item, as well as the following one, in the mansion (only when you've dealt with all its inhabitants, of course).

New item: choker

Have you seen the ones vampires wear? This one's the same, only without the rose. Be careful - putting it on is easy, but taking it off... It's not an Amulet of Strangulation, of course, and it won't strangle you to death, but the breathing difficulties will slow down your regeneration. So why wear it at all? I don't know, they say that when oxygen is slightly restricted, the senses are heightened... I've never tried it, but vampires wear them for a reason, right?

New mechanic: monsters using items

Girls can now spend their turn using one of the items you gave them. Sometimes this will have no noticeable consequences - you'll just see a special message in the console, but sometimes it can do you some good (harm too, of course). Experiment! So far this mechanic is implemented for a very limited number of combinations of items and monsters, but as the number of items in the game grows, so will the variety of interactions.

New encounter: A deal with the Genie

As you may know, there is such an item in the game as the Genie summoning scroll. It is a merchant genie: when summoned, she will buy some item from you (of course, this is if you read the spell correctly - otherwise she might just steal something).

The effects of this scroll have been reworked a bit - the general features remain the same, but I've added some visual effects, as well as one interesting thing... What if you have one single item left in your inventory, and that item is the Genie summoning scroll? Someone who watched Aladdin as a kid might assume that giving the scroll to the Genie would free her. And if that's the case, there's more than just money to be gained from such a transaction!

New scene with The Succubus: rimjob

Although this is the third scene for the Succubus, it's actually the second in the story. Because of the implementation (scenes for important characters are stored as an array, and the game determines whether the player has seen the scene or not by its index), if you have already seen both previous Succubus scenes, you will not see the new scene (instead, the game will show you the pitjob scene again, which is now the third). So, those of you who have already gone through the game twice, in order to see the new scene will have to erase all progress, and then go through the game again three times. Sorry, sorry, that happens during development, won't happen in the final product. To erase all progress, not just the current run, you can use...

New option: erase all game data

We already had the "erase saved game" option, so how is this one different? In that it only erased the current run, but not things that are saved between runs. Here's a clear (I hope) comparison for you:

"Data preserved between runs" includes statistics, known items, significant characters' attitude, encounter results and some other stuff. So, if you erase all game data, the game will "forget" which scenes you have already seen and show you them all again, in the correct order (titjob, rimjob, pitjob - Therese must be a busy lady having so many jobs...)

Bugfix and QoL changes

• If Spider faints due to a Tentacle Rape scroll effect, the web she created now correctly disappears.
• Fixed a bug where scenes did not show the name of the person currently speaking.
• Wherever there is a text animation (typewriter-like), you can click anywhere to skip it (text will be shown instantly).
