Insatiable Hearts V0.1.1J

Hi there! Been a while. To put it lightly, having a baby was quite the significant life change and it's taken a while to get into a comfortable pattern of rest and care and it's left little time for the game. It's hard work, I'm sleepless but I'm loving my life as a mom and I'm going to be cutting hours at work to hopefully give me more time with my little one, at least as much as we can financially afford. So, let me just give my most heartfelt thanks to you all for your support even when communication here has been pretty spare and the game hasn't been updated in a while.

With that said, I do finally have an update for yall to play with! It was pieced together slowly, often typed while holding the baby lol!

This update brings a number of small additions and few fun events, its mostly things for the ruins region and a new mini-region below in a cavern full of grease. Additionally it includes the introduction of new status effects, parasites and more.

I haven't had much time for bug testing just yet, so enjoy but let me know if you run into any issues and I'll see about getting them fixed up when I can! It's been a bit since any of the characters got their romance routes added onto so I'll probably be working more on the cast and their interactions and bouncing around there in, but we'll see. It's fun making all sorts of stuff happen to the player's body but I got start giving the npc some depth too hehe.

Anyways, the change-log and download can be found below. Thanks for all the support!
