BS

Added the old churchyard to the forest, and a catacombs beneath. Requires at least C+ skulduggery to break in. [ehehehe, spooky]

Added a Halloween event for the wolf pack at the lake. Written by Burnt Toast, and coded by Crimson Tide.

Added a short Halloween party event to the lake, tying into the above. Written and coded by anon.

Added a handful of playable nightmare scenes that may occur in the PC's sleep. Thanks to Necro for writing the Eden, Wraith, and Harper nightmares. Thanks to stale sandwich for writing the Great Hawk nightmare. Coded by anon, with help from Jimmy. [💕💕💕]

Added the "Swallow" and "Spit" actions to combat, appearing when an NPC ejaculates in the PC's mouth. Thanks to Nicky Lassandri.

Statistics now keeps track of the total amount of human and beast semen swallowed. Thanks to Nicky Lassandri. [idk man, I just find this funny]

Added several comments on the PC's Halloween costumes for Robin and Whitney. Thanks to hwp. [💕]

Thanks to PurityGuy for the following additions and improvements:

The ancient threat, or Wraith, is now a named NPC, and may haunt the social tab. [💕👻💕]

The Wraith now has the Obsession stat. It impacts its power in interactions, and attitude towards the PC. [....i....shouldn't....feel this way about the Wraith......oh no...]

Completing the Schism scene for the first time will give a potent reduction to Obsession. This will be applied to most existing saves. There are other methods for reducing Obsession.

Taking the Ivory Necklace raises Obsession to max, and prevents it from being lowered below half. It is also raised by letting pale offspring die, or selling them.

The "Apologise" action becomes very effective against the Wraith once the Schism scene is seen.

Renovatedt he Plinth Room in the underwater ruins. The PC is no longer required to take the necklace to access its other features, including ear slime removal.

Thanks to Crimson Tide for the following additions and improvements:

Added twelve missions to the pub that allow you to decrease or increase fame stats. The difficulty depends on the particular stat involved, the direction of the change, and whether the change is permanent or temporary.

Added a Robin event.

Added a Wraith event.

Obsession now changes how the Wraith holds the PC before kissing, impacting stat changes.

At high obsession and while haunting, the Wraith can now strike while "ejaculating", raising stress, trauma, and pain.

Added a small bit of flavour text tot he machine asylum scene at high obsession.

The Wraith is now slightly more dangerous during the farm assault, and appears slightly more often, at high obsession.

The Wraith can now stalk the PC as a random encounter on the town's streets. Framework was made by anon.

Added a tentacle mode to the brothel sex machine, and a tentacle show.

Added painful tentacles that cause a small amount of pain when they rub against the PC.

You should probably go inside. The sun is starting to set, the chill in the air becoming harsher as time wears on. But, you don’t. You remain in the garden, back pressed to the old fence, eyes closed, head resting back against the wood as the last of the afternoon light warms your face. It’s nice like this. You can almost forget, for a few moments, the shit show that is your life. 

The back door to the orphanage opens, and you stay sitting where you are. You’re obscured from the door so you’re relatively safe. Besides, you know it’s not Bailey. You’ve become too aware of the caretaker, you’d know if it was them opening the door to the garden. 

“Hiding?”

You crack open an eye at Robin’s voice, making a small sound in the back of your throat to let them know you were, in fact, hiding in the back garden. 

Robin finds your shared hiding spot, flopping down next to you and leaning into your side without hesitation. You haven’t talked to Robin about their physical affection, their obvious feelings for you. You should, make it clear that you like them back, that you want them as your partner. But, that would make them an easy target for Bailey, and you couldn’t do that to them. 

Still, you wrap an arm around them, keeping them close. You can allow yourself this small comfort, right?

You stay like that as the sun sets, sitting in silence with Robin, enjoying each other’s presence. It’s only as the last rays of the sun fade, the night truly taking hold, that you sigh. “I have to go.”

“Work?”

There’s an edge in Robin’s voice. Worry? Anger? Fear? Which one were you dealing with? All of them, probably. With good reason, you suppose. You’d promised them you’d stop working at the brothel, but that meant you needed a different way to make money. 

You knew Robin wouldn’t like how you were sneaking around the docks any more than dancing at the brothel. So, if you just didn’t tell them what your new “job” was, they couldn’t stop you, right?

You slip a hand into your pocket, looking for the small seed you’d found earlier in the day and picked up for Robin. Pressing the acorn into their hand, you lean over, kissing their temple.

“I promise, I’ll get us out of here, and, by that time that seed is a tree, we’ll be far, far away from this place.”
