Accidentally tried to summon sydney to the photostudio in the morning instead of the afternoon. Tried to use the "back" arrow button to return to the warehouse, but the game crashed hard. Not the usual "do you want to roll back or continue despite the error" screen. The program just closed. This was in the traceback.txt.

update: I run into the same crash now after finishing lauren's shooting. Seems my progress is hard locked through that bug.

Code:

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
ScriptError: could not find label 'warehousealso'.

strenif I know this is a bit after you posted about it but don't change the club entrance. It is an underground club run by the mafia that should be trying to fly under the radar of the authorities. Just because the dirty FBI agent knows about it and is a patron doesn't change that fact.

No need to advertise, if you know, you know.

Will the beta version eventually appear here on the forum?
I'd sign up for a paid membership, but I don't have a credit card. They're rather uncommon in my home country; we mostly use cash, debit cards, or PayPal.
Simply put, fans without a credit card are currently excluded from the beta.

That's complete nonsense.
Joey mentions giving Ryan a fake ID so Joey doesn't get into trouble with the authorities, and there are also regular customers at the club who, for example, don't get into the VIP room and probably don't even know about it.
Therefore, I don't think it's an underground club; the real secrets are the VIP room and the mafia activities.

Yeah, I think it is more or less Credit Card unless you get lucky. Pretty sure a lot of banks have blacklisted SS or SS has blacklisted a lot of them.

No, I can't.
My debit card number doesn't even fit into the designated input field, and the card doesn't have a security number either.
Debit cards work differently than credit cards.
If my debit card worked, I would just sign up for a paid membership.

There are different debit cards, as most do have security codes on them as they can work as either debit or credit.

I used my debit card a couple of times without any problems. It's on the Visa banking circuit. Now i understand i was lucky.

what a sad situation

Our debit cards are also from Visa, but they don't work like a credit card or a debit card in North America.
They basically work exactly like the old EuroCheck cards (EC cards) we used to have in Europe.

Patreon was easier, since you can pay with PayPal.
But Patreon is making such a fuss about incest in games; it's just ridiculous.
Until the AFV page on Patreon was deleted, I was a member...

It's definitely a NA thing then. Mine has one, but my bank only got recently. You may be able to request one, but I personally wouldn't given EU laws and such it could be more trouble than it's worth.

A credit card would be significantly more expensive than the $5 monthly membership, and otherwise I don't need a credit card.

Odd that they have not caught up to recnet banking standards. Debit cards being used at stores as credit have been a thing for years and years now at this point.

Even if your card did SS is very very VERY finicky about what cards/payment processors it accepts as so many are blacklisted.

Dr.John Bums · 2025-11-15T22:47:35+0000

I can pay with my debit card in stores.
However, I don't use it; I prefer cash.
Banking in Europe works a bit differently than in North America.
Credit cards aren't accepted in many stores, most people don't have a credit card, and those who do usually have a Credit card, have a very high income.

If it costs more that makes sense. I pay per transaction with my Debit Card when using it's CC function. CC are genuinely evil.
