So to pursue Avery as a LI, you must take the +hard corruption then? Or is that sequence of events being changed to either Avery taking the MC to their mansion instead, or a choice between their mansion or Remy's 'party'? Or perhaps if Avery had high enough Love with the MC, they choose to take the MC to their mansion to 'enjoy their prize', opting out of taking part in Remy's 'party' instead?
Also I see that Lake Ruins artifact diving is finally getting the nerf bat. A pity, really, as after the Smuggler's Cave nerf making taking any option there take an absurd amount of time made it pointless for anything other than a 'rush to chest compass from Smuggler's Den' once a week, if one was to bother with it at all. I hope the time addition for Lake Ruins diving isn't 5 or more minutes per action, especially when diving down or up. Just exactly how big is the Smuggler's Cave to require 10 minutes just to move forward or backwards? If it's an issue of 'taking your time because of bad lighting', then with more Handheld items slowly coming out, there should be an option to buy an actual torchlight to use to cut down on the time required (with a chance of it being lost on bad rolls, e.g. dropped it from an event), or else instead of hanging around to interact with the 'eyes', take advantage of it to quickly move forward.
Indeed, such a handheld item could perhaps be used for a replacement for the burning torches in the Old Churchyard, or even for a safer wandering around at night in dark places (especially if a night time moon phase lighting system was in). But because it's much brighter and is clearly artificial light, other humans and creatures that 'hunt' humans would get drawn to it instead (e.g. makes it harder to hide from the guards in the Old Churchyard if using a torchlight instead).
