Hey guys,

It's the end of the month again, and the update is here! This patch picks up right where we left off, delivering 3 key developments: 1) finishing the Slutty Return branches, 2) interconnecting them with Lavius as well as Mihai, and 3) delivering a hefty chunk of general polish to the Endings and Chapter 3.

Here's a little breakdown for each:

1. Finishing the "Slutty Return" saga

This is the meat of the content of this patch. I've left it as a single line in the patch notes to avoid spoilers, but it offers more than 40 pages worth of story, opening up new alternative endings for you to discover. These happen if you back out of the cursed contract before the finishing step. I'm sure you'll have fun finding out all of it ;)

2. Intertwining more story Endings

Last patch the return as a woman endings were only available if you were following Mihai's path in Chapter 3. With this update, Lavius' branch has also been woven towards these branches, offering a new set of goodbyes and allowing you more freedom down Lavius's path. 

3. Polish and improvements

This update delivers a hefty chunk of that, providing end game screens for both Bad Ends and True Ends, adding in a post-game recap for True Ends as well as a way to continue playing after a Bad End.

Additionally there's a lot of general flow improvements to Chapter 3, updating and reworking tasks, adding more alt passages and making sure overall navigation is smoother.
