Mhh if you compare it to the 0.5 version, theres the picnic date, all 3 postgame dates ( with the sex afterward ), the whole reserve prison arc and anal sex. SM prison has titjobs added, all versions with removable clothes and the game just looks a lot better/better card mechanics (+ lot of more stuff to do like the Shop's puzzle, pretending to be sick in prison, text to speech, toilet stuff, dildo...) The wordcount def doubled or more.
like, this is 0.5 vs the full version lol (or you mean compared to the current demo?)

Hope you enjoyed it anyway! Please drop a donation (or buy the game) if you enjoyed the game!
I plan on adding a roguelike/infinite card mode. Maybe a wedding scene idk.

Anyone know what scenes I'm missing? I've beaten the game and got all the achievements, but it looks like I'm missing two.

Really good game! I'm not sure how you could tie it in, but some more femdom would be nice ... Like a choice between that and maledom at the end of the dates for example .

I'm confused about how to progress Act 3. I have no cards that can be used to increase trust or affection in order to properly pass the jogging date and there are no means to acquire trust or affection cards from the available options between dates. Am I missing something?

You need to visit the shop (click the door) and complete the first challenge to get your flirt/talk cards that you lost at the start of Act 2 back. The shop also allows you to get new cards.

P.S. Unlike the toilet lid, the tree can hold much more cards. I don't know if there's a maximum, since I keep my deck mostly the same throughout Act 3.

I eventually worked this out myself, I didn't realize you could switch between different options in the shop. Thanks for making an effort to help though.

I lost my patience once I got to around the start of act 3. Game is a frustrating grindfest unless I'm just fundamentally misunderstanding its mechanics. You have to essentially redo your deck each act because the game switches up each time (i.e. first act focuses on raising trust / affection -> second act focuses on keeping lust down each turn -> act 3 is a combination of both with the first phase being like act 1 and second like act 2). This wouldn't be as much as a problem if the game didn't take your cards away in act 2 and you didn't have to spam spam click through days to buy individual cards. In act 3 you have to deal with roughly half of your cards being useless depending on the phase you're in which is pretty annoying.

The randomized card shop in act 3 is a lot more annoying to deal with compared to just getting consistent cards from your cat / computer in act 1.

Narratively, I wasn't really a fan of Joyce abducting the player and keeping him in a literal rape dungeon. There's dialogue options to call her out on how fucked up it kinda is but doesn't really follow up on it beyond a few throwaway lines. I'll chalk that up to me just not really being into hardcore femdom though. Would've preferred it to be more of a roleplay scenario between the two.

The game's art is pretty good (although sometimes inconsistent) but the difficulty makes it not feel worth completing sometimes. It's also not possible to lower the difficulty halfway through so I'm stuck on normal unless I feel like going through the grind all over again on easy :(

Except that the rat didn't give all my cards back, maybe a quarter of it at best. Not sure if it's because I chose the "Give Up" option or what.

I don't think he gives you any if you failed to clear the puzzle. I'm pretty sure I got all my Act I cards back.
