Version 0.62.0.p makes the following changes:

• Added a new secondary character, Leo Keen Eagle, who can be found at the causeway in the town outskirts. He is a dominant, pansexual cis man who will sell you drugs and potentially play with you.
  • All interactions with Leo are optional. All drugs can be acquired without being intimate with him.
  • You may submit to Leo in an escalating series of play scenes in exchange for cheaper prices. This is purely a roleplaying option; acquiring his wares does not cost Ken or any other game resource.
  • If you refuse to submit to Leo, he will not pressure you; you may resume submitting by asking about reducing prices in his Business menu.
  • In this release, Leo has two repeatable play scenes. More will be added in a future update.
• Leo offers the following new, fictional drugs:
  • Sedatives, which allow you to sleep without having a nightmare if you take them alone in your bedroom.
  • Teaching tea, which allows you to immediately trigger the next nightmare without waiting for the end of the day if you drink it alone in your bedroom. This makes time pass.
  • Archanum, which gives you a vision of a strange place. This makes time pass.
  • More will be added in a future update.
• Added the Citadel, accessed by taking a dose of Archanum from Leo. This is an optional dream location to explore. Accessing new areas requires you to sleep within the dream and return later. This location will be expanded in a future update.
• Improved the breakfast choice menu in the servants’ office.
• Added functionality for a free web demo when Ruin Me becomes a paid release.
• Miscellaneous enhancements and fixes.

The new free version, 0.61.1, has the following bugfix:

• Fixed an issue where asking Terry to wear a random outfit each day would never pick the most revealing version of the starting dress/cardigan (and would cause an error if the only available options were the most conservative dress and/or cardigan).

The patron version also has the Reminisce feature, which lets you replay old erotic sequences that otherwise can’t be revisited and take new paths through them. $5 patrons can access a special cheat menu, guide development priorities with polls and suggestions, and submit additions to random snippets that show up during play. The current latest version will go public once the next patron-only build goes live. If you want to contribute to the game’s development, please become a supporter on Patreon!

Version 0.61.0.p makes the following changes:

• Added a urethral sounding training scene, part of the “Advanced Depravity” training sequence taking Terry from Depravity 3 to 4.
  • This training requires you to recover your sounds via the Salvage activity at the docks.
  • This scene includes some minor new bits of art.
  • Like other advanced training, this scene is optional.
• Added new branches to the Zaftig March night music scene, allowing you to penetrate Terry’s hypertrophic cock.
• Added a new greeting option for Terry, where they give you a kiss when you visit their chambers.
• When visiting character locations, they will sometimes be in the middle of an activity:
  • Esther, Meg, and Pappy may be visited by another character.
  • By default, only one of these events can occur per time period. This is affected by the “Random Events” option under Game Preferences.
• Enhanced checking on Terry at night-time:
  • If Terry is in, your options for interaction have been pretty much standardized, and you may now invite Terry back to your room. If you’ve activated the Jealousy book in your bedroom, Terry may refuse to give up a night out to spend it with you.
  • If Terry is getting ready to head out (due to a routine that calls for seeking out sex), you may join them, triggering the public sex play scene.
  • If Terry’s room is dark, you can now knock and get several options if they respond.
  • If Terry is in their chambers with a partner (via their evening routine), you may knock to give them a goodnight kiss or join in.
  • When you visit a sleeping Terry (with permission), you may try to kiss them.
• Terry will now sometimes visit your room at night to sleep over if their stats are sufficiently high and their routine allows.
• A new evening routine will make Terry stop by your room every night.
• When Terry sleeps over, you have a choice of bedtime activities, including very brief sex scenes. Their training determines what activities are available.
• Added a new-style conversation menu for Meg and Pappy.
• Renamed the “Ambient Narration” option to “Random Events” in Game Preferences.
• Removed the option to study Dr. Harvey’s lab to gain Ken; this is replaced by Geography, Exploration, and Salvage.
• Many small fixes and enhancements.

The patron version also has the Reminisce feature, which lets you replay old erotic sequences that otherwise can’t be revisited and take new paths through them. $5 patrons can access a special cheat menu, guide development priorities with polls and suggestions, and submit additions to random snippets that show up during play.

Version 0.60.0.p adds:

• Inspired by a patron request, the “Zaftig March” night music, accessible from the music room in the mansion. It causes a dream of drinks that make people grow enormous breasts or cocks, allowing for the potential of nipple and urethra penetration. With Depravity 3, Terry can join in.
• A “Salvage” side activity with Cathy at the docks, where you compare salvaged cargo with a manifest as you track down lost luggage.
  • Each salvage session lets you recover one item from your lost luggage (BDSM gear, sex toys, urethral sounds, or new outfits).
  • Entering a new act unlocks an new optional level of difficulty for salvage.
  • Salvage also yields Ken, with higher difficulties giving more Ken.
  • You may always skip this activity once it has been started; you still earn the rewards.
• Checks before the manual sex training, requiring you to recover your strap-on dildo or sex doll from your luggage via the Salvage activity.
• Moved the BDSM gear and sounding rods to the Salvage activity instead of having them appear at the mansion.
• More options for changing your clothing, once you’ve recovered the luggage containing your wardrobe. At the moment, this has very few visible or textual consequences, and is mostly for roleplaying. Existing saves will find that their clothing is less fancy than before.
• A fix for an error in the abandoned bedroom if you didn’t read the red journal before using the spyglass.
• A fix for a “missing” piece of art in the oral play scene.
• A few minor fixes and improvements.

Version 0.59.0.p adds:

• A new oral sex play scene available from the “Experienced Play” menu (finally). This requires Experience 3.
  • You may receive and/or provide oral sex, in either order.
  • Certain options require additional training.
• A new-style conversation menu for Esther, including two new chat options.
• An “Exploration” side activity with Esther in the mansion, where you can solve simple procedurally-generated puzzles to explore previously-sealed areas.
  • Each exploration session (including the required one) gives you a resource called Uneasy Domesticity, which is now required to discover new mansion locations.
  • Entering a new act unlocks a new optional level of complexity for exploration.
  • Exploration also yields Ken, with higher difficulties giving more Ken.
  • You may always skip this activity once it has been started; you still earn the resources for it.
  • This activity must be performed successfully once in order to find Esther for the first time.
• By player request, an option in the anal sex play scene to piss in Terry’s butt, if they are sufficiently permissive.
• By player request, a new potential conclusion to the semen play scene and training where Terry masturbates using semen as lube.
• New dialogue options in some branches of the climax for the public sex play scene, letting you encourage or object to the actions of your partner.
• Moved “The Abstruse Synergy” horror expedition to Act III, for tone and to better distribute expeditions across the acts. If you’ve already started it, you can continue even if you haven’t reached Act III.
• Several small fixes and enhancements

Version 0.58.0.p adds:

• A new “Engage in public sex with [Terry]” play scene available from the “Advanced Play” menu, allowing for public and/or group sex in town. This requires Depravity 3, Experience 4, Permissivity 3.
  • You may have public sex with Terry, engage in a threesome, have sex with Terry watching, or watch Terry have sex.
  • You choose the destination sequence of activities in this encounter.
  • If you let Terry pick the partner, you may ask to roleplay as if you dislike their choice, although you may always use your safe word. If you pretend to object, Terry will choose the sequence of activities and tease you during the scene.
  • Some parts of the sequence are currently missing art. I hope to add a new Terry pose in a future update that will resolve this.
• A conversion and minor expansion of an existing interaction from visiting at night into a play scene, “Watch [t_theresa] masturbate.” It’s in the “Experienced Play” menu, requiring Experience 3.
• The ability to trigger certain play scenes when visiting Terry at night.
  • If Terry has been assigned to go into town at night for sex, you may join them.
  • You may still watch Terry masturbate if you’ve given them instructions to do so at night.
• A new branch for the “Receive a thorough massage” play scene, allowing you to receive a “happy ending” if Terry’s Experience is high enough. This is an experiment with allowing more advanced play options in more basic play scenes.
• Names for the bar, bookstore, and drugstore: The Morrow’s Berth, Hitchup Books, and Pappy’s Medicine.
• A “Geography” side activity at Hitchup Books, where you compare local maps to learn more about the Barrowport landscape.
  • Each geography session gives you a resource called Uncanny Bearings, which is now required to discover new town locations.
  • Entering a new act unlocks a new (optional) level of complexity for geography.
  • Geography also yields Ken, with higher difficulties giving more Ken.
  • You may always skip this activity once it has been started; you still earn the resources for it.
• New “Chat” topics for Arthur Hitchup at Hitchup Books.
• Wandering outside town for Ken has been removed.
• An image for the specimen jar curio from “The Mica Sign,” visible during the expedition and in your bedroom afterward.
• A fix for an issue where Terry’s outfit would not visibly change when picking a more modest version of the dress or cardigan outfit.
• A revision to the art for Pappy’s lab coat.
• A revision to “The Empty Hull” expedition, adding more sounds and adjusting the text pacing.
• Many small fixes and enhancements.

Version 0.56.0-p is exclusive to patrons for a limited time and adds:

• An option at the opening of the game to choose between Theresa and Terrence Radcliffe as your employer and student. This involved a revision of every piece of writing involving Terry Radcliffe in the game.
  • Theresa (a woman) and Terrence (a man) are both cisgender, pansexual, and tend to prefer the submissive role in sex.
  • Terrence and Theresa provide a nearly identical story, with the only big differences being anatomical. Minor aspects of their backstories differ slightly.
  • Both versions of Terry are somewhat femme and can wear all existing outfits. Each gender has its own starting outfit; the other gender’s outfit is available at the Tailor found when exploring outside of town.
  • Many sex scenes have had the appropriate options made exclusive to Theresa, with new options added that are exclusive to Terrence (based on anatomy).
  • While a Terrence playthrough can complete all of the existing story, certain options such as play and breakfast choices or certain branches in scenes are more limited for now.
  • If you have an existing save, you will be given a one-time option to change Terry’s sex/gender the next time you wake up. If you are currently training Theresa in penetrative sex, you may need to wait until that training is finished to receive the prompt.
• A new starting outfit for Terrence, also available for Theresa via the Tailor, consisting of a cardigan and slacks. It will become more revealing as Terry’s training proceeds.
• A new “Revealing Briefs and Tank Top” outfit which becomes available for Terrence during exhibitionism training in place of Theresa’s slip. The other gender’s lingerie is available from the Tailor outside of town once one of the two outfits is acquired.
• A major redraw for most of Terry’s kneeling in profile pose.
• New art for Terry’s kneeling POV pose, with their arms in a begging position, used during exhibitionism training.
• Revised art for most of Terry’s outfits and poses, improving them and adapting them for both genders. The art is still not final.
• An overhaul of the outfit system to make it more reliable and easier to expand. As a side effect, all outfits in a current save will be marked as “new” in the chambers selection menu, even if you’ve already had Terry wear them.
• Revised art for the Tailor’s dummy.
• The ability to preview outfits directly from the Tailor’s menu or the outfit menu in Terry’s chambers by hovering over each option. This also occurs when long-pressing on mobile, or when using the keyboard to navigate options.
• A hint in the bedroom mirror menu for players interested in changing their bodies, directing them toward the strange laboratory that becomes available when exploring the mansion in Act II.
• Improved logic for menus that indicate when subtopics are new, which should prevent them from getting marked if they have hidden items.
• A revision so that piercing Terry in the sterile parlor will not advance time, making it much less annoying to apply multiple piercings.
• A fix for an issue where save files made at Dawn show the previous day count.
• The ability to ask Terry to stop collecting filled condoms each evening.
• Many minor revisions and fixes.

Version 0.55.0-p is exclusive to patrons for a limited time and adds:

• A new graduation option for Theresa, “A Public Display”, which unlocks when Theresa’s stats are all at 4 and begins by talking to Theresa in her chambers. This option is available instead of the orgy or the private gathering, and is the final graduation option. This involves spending a day touring the town with Theresa and has various options:
  • You select a dynamic for the day: you and Theresa show off together, you have group sex with Theresa, you watch Theresa have sex, or you and Theresa submit to the townsfolk.
  • You select an approach for the day: you are performing a strange mystical festival, you are staging an elaborate contest, or you are getting drunk all day. Each approach has additional choices associated with it.
  • You choose the sequence of stops for your tour through town. Each approach has one exclusive stop that you can choose.
• Three new, very revealing outfits for Theresa, each one matching one of the types of festival you can run. These become available to purchase from the Tailor for Ken after any graduation is complete.
• An overhaul of the mobile quick buttons (Back, Hide, Menu, Skip). They should now be much easier to tap, especially on phones with rounded edges. I welcome feedback on the new style!
• Updates to many of Theresa’s poses, including better shading and an adjustment for the boob window on the cheongsam outfit to show off her chest freckles.
• Another revision to Cathy’s art. Her shirt is no longer held closed by magic, but by normal buttons (and a lot of confidence).
• Many minor enhancements and fixes.
