Yes, you are seeing that right: it's an actual update!
Almost 3 years since the release of v1.0.3, Jasonafex and Lennian decided to give Amorous a final patch with "some" quality of life changes. With this, we feel the Amorous book can be properly closed.
We hope everyone enjoys this release!

Known issues / Won't fix
It has been reported that in Mercy's sexscene the uncut cock looks weird. The looks are actually intended.
It has been reported that in Jax' sexscene cum seems to be missing. It's really there!
There is a small glitch when showing arm with Gamebox/IM/etcetera and flickers when hiding.
There is a small glitch Glitch when Kane is clicked.
Achievements are not retroactively unlocked. You could, you know, replay the game on v1.0.4 :D

The game does not force the use of a dedicated videocard, if not told too. If you experience problems, be sure to check your GPU control panel.
There is no "confirm resolution" timer. If your game won't start, use -safemode as a startup argument.
It has been reported that sometimes certain audio devices cause the game to crash. You can try starting the game with -disablesound as a startup argument.

Originally, we had Steam Trading Cards in this list too, but we were attended at the fact pure free games don't get that option.
How can this be free? There must be a catch!
No catch! No depleting in-game currency every time you attempt to date a character, no in-game shop prompting you to buy more parts for your character. It's all there for you to enjoy for free.
This game has seen many years of spare-time development, and all of it wouldn't have been possible without the support of our loyal Patrons. A free release on Steam is our way of thanking them and making sure the game will always remain available for everyone to enjoy.
