Yayyy! Hope this includes at least anal, lesbian or going the escort route. I think playing as a prostitute would be fun.

Yes, this is one of the main things we are changing in the next update. We needed the MC to lose her virginity in order for the game to make any sense in the first version, but now that the game has a lot more content and multiple potential partners, we can (and will) make that "forced" relationship optional.
Thank god, this unavoidable scene ruined my interest. Maybe I'll come back after several updates.

I really liked the game but it was just broken for me to the point that MANY events just wouldn't trigger. I looked up how to get them and tried like every iteration possible (as some of the tips/guides were a lil vague) and just nupe. The most annoying one was getting to the club with shaun, the event just never popped up no matter what I wore and how long I waited in the living room.

does that happen in the newest version?
Yus, I've been playing it in the last couple of days from a completely fresh save. (Only just found the game a couple days ago!)

Thought I was doing something procedurally wrong but if I am I have no idea what. I've tried getting the triggers for events like 20-30 different ways, even restarting an old save file and trying from there but something is just busted in my game for some reason.

I'm not sure why this would be happening for you, but yours is the only complaint I've seen about this. In fact, we have gotten some positive feedback about the Shaun content specifically in other forums.

If you meet Shaun in the kitchen after he returns from the club a few times, he should invite you to join him in the club. You have to put on a dress and meet him in the living room Saturday night before 9pm (which is when he leaves). The scene will begin automatically.

The only problem that we are aware of, is if the scene doesn't trigger on the Saturday evening after the invitation, because you have conflicting events scheduled for that Saturday. It is an issue that we are working on for the next update, which should be ready sometime this coming week for Patrons (public, including this site, will be released about a week later). We are basically going to have each event check to be sure that you don't have anything else scheduled before scheduling something else, so that events in two different paths can't conflict with each other.

We're not aware of any other issues with the Shaun club events triggering.

Hey! Just to make clear there's no issue with the actual content, I've enjoyed near-everything about the game I played I was just struggling to get things to activate.

I managed to get it to work on a new playthrough so it seems there was something wrong with my save. Though in my testing at first I didn't realise you had to be in your room on Wednesday to get the invitation (there's no downside to just skipping time using lounge/watch TV as you don't have to mess around with changing clothes and going through loads of other menu items). I couldn't get it working on my original save for whatever reason, nor could I get the Dev Dad stuff to trigger which worked fine on the new save.

Looks like it was just a bug or corrupted save maybe? I only posted here to see if anyone else had solutions or had experienced it.

I look forward to future updates!

Also, to be invited, I think you got to wake up not too late on the Wednesday morning (before 9h00), and accept of course.

Hello!

Thank you so much for your patience. We are excited to announce that the new version of In Her Own Hands (version 0.4.0) is now available!

This release was meant to consolidate several changes that will enhance game play. From redefining the way statistics are calculated, introducing an entirely new way to experience the sex scenes, a Progress Tracker to track different paths and give you hints while playing, to a fully functional phone and more, we spent our time laying a foundation that will allow us to build the game to new levels in all future releases. It was a lengthy process to accomplish all we had envisioned, but it will take the game to new heights and allow maximum flexibility so that stories can reach their full potential. These changes unfortunately are so fundamental that they prevent you from loading saved games, so we also wanted to make all of the improvements in one release.

We also had to temporarily disable the in-game Tutorial until we finish updating it with the new features.

S&D CumPoints© Sex System

Building upon feedback that you wanted to have more choice in sexual adventures, we are excited to introduce the S&D CumPoints© sex system, an entirely new way to experience sex in our game. Not only will you have the choice of activities, but the characters' arousal will build to completion. Becca also acquires more skills and preferences as she accumulates sexual experience, while her partners may have their own preferences. A sexy status bar tracking your "CumPoints," a measure of how aroused you are during sex, will take each character from foreplay to climax!

Because we want to perfect this very important aspect of the game, we have only implemented the system in the first sexual encounter with the James character (coffee shop guy), the easiest and earliest scene Becca can encounter. Even if you don't intend to pursue this path permanently, we would love all of our patrons to take a few minutes to try it out. Once we receive feedback (we will have a poll later this month), we will convert most of the remaining existing scenes and use it for the main character's future sexcapades.

Wardrobe & Statistics

In the ongoing refinement of the Wardrobe system, you will see statistics for your outfit of choice that include a calculation of the level of being "Comfy," "Naughty," and "Professional." While the focus was to introduce the statistics required for a new game, it will allow us to alter scenes based on your wardrobe in future releases.

We have also redefined the way that we calculate the main Inhibition and Corruption stats. They now incorporate the wardrobe statistics, the Arousal and Romance stats, Becca's experience, as well as several other factors, into their calculation. In this way, the statistics become much more interdependent, so that one statistic directly affects another.

Fully-Functional Phone

A new sophisticated phone appears in the game now, accessible from the main sidebar. The phone is a mapped image, so that you access features by clicking on their respective apps. Your text messages, phone calls, a game map, your contacts, a camera and photo gallery and more will now appear in her phone. You can even select a background (which will get naughtier as the game goes on) for your phone. (Hint: You may want to call your sister occasionally... and don't miss those text messages from Abby!)

And More...

Becca has new financial responsibilities, a bank account, more places to visit and shop, a Twatter () account and more minor improvements to the game. Over the next week, we will give you more detail on the new functions so we don't overwhelm you now. Hopefully you will discover all the new changes as you play and be "surprised and delighted"... (wink)!

We Welcome Your Feedback

If you find any errors or bugs that managed to sneak past us, please either message us directly here on Patreon or email us at bugs@surprisedelightme.com. A description and/or screenshot, as well as the save game file of the game in which the error occurred, will help us locate and fix the error. Thanks!

Enjoy!

Surprise & Delight

How much arousal (+ ...?), Inhibition (- ...?) & Corruption (+ ...?) Do you actually need to leave your underwear off during the game? ... if that's even possible

I get the notification " Your phone is ringing! " but I can't seem to find the option to answer the phone. Is it a bug?
