Just a small bugfix update trying to get rid of some smaller issues that got put on hold while we had bigger fish to fry.
Thanks for sending the bug reports in, keep them coming!
Changes:
- Fixed an issue where you could not go to sleep at the SubStall after demoted to sub from Dom in Bound Heights.
- Fixed an issue where the Bound Heights border guards were not the PC's preferred gender in certain cases

Hey everyone! Next update is here! After a very hectic few weeks we hope the game is in a more presentable state, and you can just relax and enjoy the new content!
Thanks for sending all those bug reports in, please don't hesitate if you find something amiss, we want to make sure everything gets patched out eventually.
Speaking of which, we are still trying to sort out the online certificate situation with the downloadable version. Until we succeed, some systems might flag it as unsa...

We are hard at work trying to iron out more bugs and getting ready for the big content update next week. The save system and the Extreme Circumstances events being accessible again of course meant that new ones became obvious. The circle of life and all that.
Thank you all for sending them in and being patient with us!

- Fixed multiple reported issues with save-slots

Hey everyone!
Hope you had a nice holiday season and are enjoying the new year!
Things are getting back to normal around our parts, which is why we had time to put together a massive bugfix updatefor you, that hopefully takes care of some real pressing issues with the game.
Biggest one is the saving system which was giving us trouble for a long while now, but hopefully, fingers crossed it should work now.
Some other parts of the game have also been brought up to speed to pl...
A bugfix update long overdue fixing a batch of problems, though sadly not all of them.
We are still hard at work to find and fix everything the recent big changes have brought, but it might take some time. Thank you everyone for sending us bugreports, please keep doing so!
Fixes:
- Fixed an issue where selecting employees for your Peep Show a second time would cause a white screen
- Fixed a display bug in Lily's Hairdresser Salon where choosing a service would show a broke...

Hey everyone! We are finally coming out of our diseased and ailing arc and managed to get the update together for our delayed deadline at least. Thank you all for being patient with us!
Hopefully things are starting to get back to normal, which will mean more regular bugfix updates and no delays for the January update.
As for the content, this one is something a bit more out there, a latex/rubber/dronification thingie with a bit of an unusual story structure...
2025-12-10 14:19:30 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
You probably noticed that we have been very quiet again. Sadly this time it is a bit more than pre-update busyness. Our little crew had a touch of the seasonal illness going around, and unfortunately a bit more as well. One of us is still at the hospital as I am writing this, although thankfully things are getting better.
This is not here as an excuse or to farm sympathy, however but to inform you what to expect from the game this month.
So:

Hey everyone!
We are still catching up with the many issues the switch to the new look has caused and it is getting BETTER (no I am not going to write that we solved everything again, that is just inviting for everything to break).
We DID solve a lot of stuff though, thank you for being patient with us. The slot-based slaves are still not done yet, but... well here is what is:
Fixes:
- Fixed the bug that caused the '404' bug for some people when trying to download the...
The next content update is here. We have worked hard to have it done amidst the... bit overwhelming amount of bugs the new UI sadly produced. The game is very old and very complicated, it will take some time to sort it all out. Please be patient with us, we are trying our best!
This update contains a few fixes itself aside from the content, namely the saving to file feature should be better now (save slots are still disabled) and several design elements should stop freezing up.

2025-11-05 19:34:25 +0000 UTC View PostIt is finally here!
This has been really hard to do but we have tracked down - hopefully - all of the bugs that have plagued the new UI since its launch. If you still have issues, please update to the new version and let us know!
Fixes:
Fixed a bug that occasionally made the game crash when starting with a female character
Fixed the bug that caused the avatar to switch between v1 and v2 versions for some setups

10.61 is here!
Thank you all for being patient with us, and we hope you have been enjoying the new look of the game even if it does come with a few new issues. We have been hard at work fixing them and managed to solve most of them.
If you still experience them please keep sending them in!
Also if you do please make sure to include on what device, operating system browser etc. you have encountered the bug. It helps a LOT.
But here is what we managed - ...
As we told you yesterday, this is a somewhat unusual update. If you were eager for the 'The Slut Machine, sadly you will need to wait until next month's update hits - it will be worth it we promise!
On the other hand, you will probably notice something right away when starting up the game. The new UI is here!
We spent a lot of time on this, hope you like it! It should make things a lot more convenient when you are viewing the game on mobile devices as well. We tried to test things...
2025-10-08 21:46:51 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone!
We have not been very active here during this month, for which we apologize. We had some tech die on us during the month and lost quite a bit of data. Most was thankfully recovered, but the new storyline we were preparing for this month's update is almost completely gone.
Instead of delaying the update itself, we decided to push the storyline back a month and update on time instead. Apart from a different chunk of in-game content we are publishing something we have...

The September update is here!
This month's update brings a new storyline available to everyone. Not related to the polls (that one will come next month) this one instead offers a new way to gain a permit to enter Bound Heights for those that can, and offers quite a few fun scenes to experience what it is like for those who cannot.
60k words and 25+ images worth of new content, featuring a new way to gain a ...
2025-09-10 14:45:22 +0000 UTC View PostA smallish bugfix update before the big content drop next week. A few complicated issues have been investigated and - hopefully - fixed. Some of these are a pain to reproduce, so if you are still getting them, get in touch!
Here are the changes:
- Fixed the bug that made the message "Canvas does not allow drawing" pop up in the downloadable version
- Fixed a bug that caused the wrong v2 avatar to display in some images of the hyperfeminine african version
- Fixed multiple ...
It was some time since we had a bugfix update, so it is high time we remedied it!
Please keep sending in your issues, we will try our best to address them!
In other news, voting for the October content is still ongoing, make sure to tell us what you want to see in it!

We have been a bit preoccupied in the past few months but things are getting back to normal with the ending of summer.
To mark the occasion, it is time for a new poll!
The September update will feature a storyline we picked ourselves, a fun adventure involving staking out and infiltrating Bound Heights, allowing to get a taste and maybe an invitation to the place.
The one after that, coming out in October will, however once again feature a storyline you get to choose, Patrons. Cho...

Keeping up with our new way of publishing updates, this one is again a single storyline, the first one you voted in from the current batch of options.
We have been quite busy this month, with some summer vacation shenanigans and fixing up a few things with the avatar system that were not quite up to standard. Sorry if we were slow to respond to some things!
As for the update, it is nice and big, with varied scenes and options to explore and a very k...
2025-08-06 14:53:54 +0000 UTC View PostThis is the big one. As we said in the last month, we are going things a bit differently for the big updates, and this month will be the first one that has us going back to update something older but popular about the game. So...say hello to the new avatar system made of 780 unique images!
This is something we have been working for a good long while now. It might not yet be perfect but we do hope you enjoy it!
The good:

2025-07-09 16:36:26 +0000 UTC View PostSorry, but we ran into some last day testing shenanigans with the new content and have to delay for a day.
Update will be live for tomorrow!
Sorry for the inconvenience, hope it will be forth the wait!
First a quick info drop: there have been a bug in the game that made certain people unable to access the Extreme Circumstances club. It has been fixed in the online version now, and a fix to the downloadable versions is coming tomorrow!
Sorry for the inconvenience!
As for the next poll, the options are out and here to ponder over! Just remember, this will be the the content for the August update now - and a sizeable one at that.

This month's update only has one part, but it is still huge. The 'Horniest in town' storyline is here, bringing you, over 80 000 words and 40+ images worth of content with an exciting new character to meet and date and try to keep up with in bed with kinky scenes, sex toys and various carnal adventures all over the city.
We are quite proud of this storyline and wanted it to signal how we will change updates in the future.

2025-06-11 19:32:13 +0000 UTC View PostA smallish update, but fixes a bunch of important things, especially in Bound Heights, where the save system has been... wonky to say the least.
Hope this helps!

- Revised the entire save/load system and fixed issues with saving and loading in Bound Heights. This does not affect existing savegames.,

Bound Heights expansion and a new role reversal storyline comes to the game.
