Since our last update, some users have informed us that there is a critical error at the end of the Gala event: After sleeping, it moves the character to the school without being able to leave.

This error was caused by the code cleanup, and we forgot to consider a scenario, but, it has been resolved.

If you have already passed the Gala event, you don’t need to update the game, but if you haven’t reached that point or are stuck there, it is extremely important that you download this update.

We used this opportunity to fix other minor bugs that don’t affect the game's playability but they can be a bit annoying.

We apologize for any inconvenience this error has caused you and we appreciate your patience.

We've updated the links on Itch, so that if you purchased version 0.20, you won't have to pay again to download version 0.201, and we've also updated the links on Boosty, so that if you purchased access to the post where you can download version 0.20, you won't have to pay again.

If you downloaded the game from our site, you can get the latest version here: http://thsd.fun/download

We are already working on our next update in which we will focus part of the story on a character which has been due for some time, Blair! We will use this character to introduce another one who was also commissioned by another Violet-Level Patreon. Her name is Kallen, who will become Lillian's rival in grades and P.E. as her story develops.

Also, we will expand on two of the initial character's stories, one of them has been left behind and should have had a greater participation in the Halloween release, but due to time limits, we had to cut out.

I believe that, for the time being, we will press pause on creating more love interests for our MC. We need to focus on the love interests we already have and expand their stories. This does not mean there will not be new characters, simply that they will play a less important role for the moment. We will introduce new love interests once we believe ALL the characters have had significant development, or at least all the characters requested... (Sorry, Rati)

We still have one more character to introduce who will also be a part of Lillian's story (but that one is for a future release), and we will stop the creation of the MC's love interests.

We are ever grateful for your constant support and feedback. It allows us to improve the quality of our product. In a couple of months, we will begin working on a second game, which we will present to you once we have a more defined concept.

Once more, thank you all!

Starting with the next update, we'll use player stats more often. We've been putting this aside, but to be able to approach future girls, you'll need to have certain stats. However, depending on the type of girl, the stat you need will be different.

An example of this (and the only one we've used so far), is strength, which is required to date Jessie, but in the future, some girls will require a certain stat level, or maybe even two.

This is how they are increased:

• Strength: Go to the gym or train with Kana.
• Intelligence: Go to classes in school.
• Confidence: Successfully complete dates.
• Stamina: Go for a run with Jessie on the beach or train with Kana.
• Charm: We still don’t know, but it will require to sweet talk some girls.

This will add a little more playability to the game, since, as we have repeated on several occasions, we are not a Visual Novel where the player simply presses "next" and scenes are unlocked by themselves. In our game you have to struggle, even if only a bit to keep things interesting. :D

We want to thank our Patreons who constantly help us, and we want to take this opportunity to let you guys know that, apart from the newly commissioned character Blair, there are two more coming thanks to our Patreons who have paid for them. So, there is still a lot of content on the way!

Thank you all very much!

Well, everything looks like the 0.19a game is working correctly without any major problems; maybe one or another small bug but nothing so serious that it forces us to delay the release to the general public.

We thank our Alpha and Beta players; it is with their support that these errors, which could ruin the experience for the rest of the players, are identified and fixed. Fortunately, on this occasion, the errors were minimal…

We want to take this opportunity to inform you of a new feature that the game will have. This is something that some players had asked us for quite some time, but, honestly, we hadn’t addressed because we were focused on other aspects of the game. But since in this update, we had plenty of time while the images and animations were being finished, we thought that it would be an excellent opportunity to include it, and that is, to be able to change the name of the main character during the game.

Previously, once you assigned the name of the protagonist, it could no longer be changed, but now, it will be possible through the cell phone in the game. This function is useful because some players share saved games, and although we do not encourage this practice, it is something that happens.

If everything continues as it is now, we will launch the version for all players on Friday or Saturday, which will be the censored version that can be downloaded for free in our site, and the uncensored version exclusive for our supporters in Patreons or Subscribers; and players that purchase the game on Itch or Spicygaming. It is very important to mention that, for the second time, the uncensored version will have a very special and exclusive scene, but, once more, it will only be available in the version for supporters.

Again, we thank all the players who have followed us in the development of this project. We greatly appreciate your constant feedback because it helps us improve the game story and the gameplay.

Well, it's almost a fact that in the next few days, the game will finally be released!

Believe me, it's been a bigger challenge than we had thought: more than 30,000 lines of code, 20 different animated images, more than 2,000 new lines of dialogue, and some sprites were remade... Well, in short, it was a really big mess!

But at last, we're just a few days away from finally being able to release it.

But before we do that, we want to let you know what you'll need to have completed for the following event to be unlocked. Since many girls are involved in the story, the requirements are quite a few, and if any of the following tasks are not done, the story will not start. So, you have a few days to catch up!

To trigger the next event, you will need to:

• Use the toy Ginger got at the sex show with Frida.
• Finish helping Stella with Ms. Principal's Birthday present.
• Find the 3 missing girls in the woods.
• See Nicole in the Sauna.
• Finish helping Violet with her Spike issue.
• Finish helping Brianne with the Dancing Contest.
• Finish helping Ashley with their money issues.

If all the above are done, a few days after finishing the second ritual, you will get a text from Darkness asking you to see her at the club.

The game will definitely be released this week, and as you can imagine, there were a lot of changes made to the game, including changes to the source code, background images, and some sprites. Therefore, once the Beta version is released, it will take a few days before the final version is released, all with the purpose of ensuring that all the bugs have been located by our Beta players. So, if everything goes as planned, we should release the Beta version on Tuesday, and the public version on Saturday. That is if everything goes as smoothly as it does right now.

We know we're several days behind schedule for the release, as this update was due out on October 31st, but we believe that the content will make it worth the wait.

Once again, we want to thank all of our players who wait for each update, and especially, many thanks to all of the supporters via Patreon, SubscribeStar, and Itch. Without your constant support, we would not be able to continue with the development of this project.

Our graphic designer friends are a bit bored while waiting for the animators to finish the missing scenes, and since they have nothing better to do than think of different ways to complicate the existence of the programming department, they've come up with the idea of raising the stakes!

Within the event, apart from the naughty scenes that are being cooked up, there will be 12 of our characters with special dialogues, so, in the ending scene where the game will ask you if you want to repeat the event, a special screen will show you how many of our characters you have met.

But be warned, this implies that the event may (and will) have one bad ending, forcing the player to play it again.

Do you think you can find all our characters?

Okay, we wanted to tell you that we have news, some good and some bad...

We'll start with the bad news (so we can cheer you up with the good news). It turns out that this release took longer than we had planned, so it will be impossible for us to release it on the date we were aiming for. Unfortunately, due to reasons beyond our control, events took away time that we had allocated for the development of the scenes and images, so the production team took longer to finish all the images. We are very sorry because we really wanted to release the game by October 31st and coincide with Halloween.

Well, now on to the good news! Given that we will have a bit more time, it will allow us to add an extra scene, going from 5 scenes to 6, making the 0.19 update the largest release we have ever made since the game started! An update with 6 different scenes is much more laborious than you might imagine, and we will be achieving it in record time. Our animators and cartoonists are working hard to achieve this, so I want to thank each and every one of them.

We appreciate your patience and, again, we are sorry for not being able to meet the established date, but at least we will be able to make it up to you with one more spicy scene for the update.

We will keep you updated on the release date. Thank you!

Just like The Gala event, once you finish the upcoming Halloween event, it will give you the option to go back to a specific point in the event to play through again and try to unlock new scenes.

The image will show you the scenes that are unlocked, and the number of scenes you still have to unlock.

But it will also give you the option to continue with the story, even if it means leaving some scenes locked. We understand there are people who simply aren't interested in having all the scenes unlocked, only the onces with their favorite waifu.

Canonically, the game's story will be told as if the player had unlocked everything; this is in order to follow the narrative.

We hope that the amount of images above, which represent a scene, will be the ones we finally end up with. If you remember, the Gala event only had 3 scenes; now we're up to 5(ish). The goal is to have this version released publicly by the 31st. But, if we see that we are almost finished with one more scene but it means taking 2 or 3 extra days, I think that most of you will agree that we should wait so that the greatest amount of content possible can be released.

Once again, many thanks to all the players, and especially to the Patreons, Subscribers, and buyers of the game on Itch, Fantia and Spicygaming. It is thanks to you that we can continue developing this project that, we believe, is to everyone's liking.

While most of the smaller bugs were fix on version 0.181, the biggest one still remain for some players! Some players still had the same issue with Jessie and Sophie’s date being tangled, so we did a massive code clean up and added more security measures and changed some variable names. It appears this solved this issue. Please download the 0.182 version as soon as possible!
