Due to the fact that an upgraded version has been created, this version will be retired from Steam, starting 31st May 2023. More information about the new version will be made later.
Hopefully the very final update. This changes the gender selection continue/back buttons to be somewhat larger. Name entry screen has been changed and reduce a bit of flickering when starting the main story.
Updated in-game GUI and reposition slightly Remove need to change computer date for one achievement

The problem with the odd DLC behaviour was actually down to DLC options in Steam (which shouldn't be selected now) This update just makes sure everything is up-to-date
For some reason, current uploads aren't being recognised as being different from the previous upload (and strange things are happening in the DLC sections). This will be fixed as soon as possible. Turns out it was the DLC download option being active (on my computer), when it shouldn't have been
Fix error where incorrect name is used at start of a set of choices
Fixed problem of wrong character name being displayed at the start of a set of choices
Fixed bug (that was in the original release), whereby one option allowed you to roll back and thus select another option.

There is going to be an update to modernise this visual novel, as well as add new animation for Grendel's Self-Expanding Frying Pan A fair bit of the title cards will be removed and added as a subtitle instead. Ingame GUI will be updated. There will also be a very slight story addition and quite possible the background for the "love" sequence in the S&M dungeon will be changed too.
One last update to this visual novel. As the DLC has now been removed, the contents of that have now been incorporated into the main game.
You know you want to !
Small update to upgrade the program to use the new older Grendel graphics
During testing of No Regrets, it came to my attention that it was possible in rare situations for the game to get the wrong pronouns for the character. This should now be fixed by updating pronouns on loading and on replays too.
I've updated the menu options. In addition, resetting the accessibility settings won't take you back to the main menu now. Resetting WTC data and achievements will still have to do that though.
I'll be available for a nice little Q & A session for an hour on Steam Chat, so if you want discuss anything about this game (or any in the series), then this would be the ideal time. This will done the official Discord server (Triority Interactive Novels). The invite code is : XnBmVgz
This update fixes an incorrect thumbnail image for scene jumping, and slightly modifies the silhouettes - they now have a small white border, to make them stand out a bit better.
It's been mentioned that it would be preferable, when using random gender selection, to be able to see the protagonist before name entry. So, to solve this, the protagonist is now seen before the game starts.

The game is now ready for release on the 9th June, barring any major problems. Many thanks to those who fixed my many casual errors in this story. Hopefully, I will do better next time.
Skipping for microwave opening/closing is now a lot a quicker (there was a double delay in one routine which wasn't needed). Frying pan skipping in the transformation sequence is back in (only available after completing the game once). It was originally completely disabled as the game won't play the correct music if you rollback and redo the transformation. Whilst it will still get the wrong music (after all, the commands to get it have been skipped), I don't think it's too much of a problem, and the amount of dialogue before starting the next dialogue block is quite small. What I may due in some future update is add another tune afterward the frying pan transformation, mitigating the whole problem
Slight optimisation :
- Remove unnecessary delay when just about to start searching victims room
- Remove narrator window when looking at room plan The previous update had a change of background for when a certain character is happy
Thanks to AlfredPos who provided a much better smoker graphic, the animation for the kitchen is back in...
This update introduces a few changes :
- The animation for the destroyed kitchen has been removed. The smoke animation wasn't smooth at all, which didn't look good. It's been replaced with a sound effect now.
- End credits has been changed. No reference to the main episode is now present. Instead, a short bit of dialogue now takes place if all the epilogue have been completed as well as the game
- AlfredPros mentioned that names weren't persistent when using replays, so that has been fixed for this episode and future ones too
- Most of the dialogue when Grendel ignores the stall keeper has now been moved to a bit further along, so that less time is spent on a black screen
This should be last major update before release, and includes :
- New graphics for the "51% Unrestrained Love" route
- A new achievement
- Grammatical and spelling errors fixed
One new epilogue has now been added
This OVN will most likely be released before No Regrets, to hopefully be included in Valve's Game Festival - so the release date will now be early June. At the moment, with the exception of one background, two characters and the title sequence, it is all complete.
