I have added half a day's content and redesigned the UI so that I could start adding a few choices.
But with 0 patreon supporters and having started a couple of diploma's (along side a cert IV and a full time job) I put it on the backburner and have not focused on it for a couple of months so it is very low priority at the moment.

I hope you're doing well, obsessionau, and that things in your real life are going according to plan. While I miss seeing updates to this KN, I know you need to focus on your actual life. Hopefully, if you read messages on F95 ever these days, you'll know that we want you to succeed in whatever you're doing, and that we think of you from time to time. Good luck in your endeavors!

Cheers CM666! Your post is appreciated and having someone show interest actually means a real lot!
I have been meaning to get back to this VN but I am having issues in my original script with the Alyssa character (the blonde that you place a chip on while she is passed out). In my script she is a bit disgruntled but otherwise perfectly fine with having her savior do this to her, which quite frankly does not make any sense!!! Given the short time frame the game is set in I have had a hard time trying to come up with a plausible alternative where she would be fine with this happening. I will likely have to rewrite the character and half the script.
The courses I have been studying in my actual life have been progressing slowly, I keep procrastinating with these as well!!
Mind you. It seems each time I procrastinate I try something different out in Renpy!
* A quick remake of the card game "The Lost Expedition" (thumbnail 1)
* A dungeon crawl loosely based around a game called Forward. But instead of a dungeon and monsters you have business trips and maids (the engine itself is mostly finished but still needs a bit of work). (thumbnail 2)
* Another remake of a card game called Elevenses for one. But instead of making a cup of tea you are putting together an Adult VN. (thumbnail 3)
* My most recent thing has been my own version of a Manga I enjoyed reading but I am redoing it in Renpy in my own image and probably will end up with multiple endings. (thumbnail 4)
Thanks again for your encouragement! I really do appreciate it and I will try to have an update of some sort out this year for Project Catherine.

Some interesting sayings, most I have not actually heard before!
I know in western culture fiction writers have used the hyperbole "I am forever in your debt" to come up with the trope of a "life-debt". An excuse to make some character loyal to another character and have them follow them around.
This character is usually from a foreign culture and have a strict honour code that must be followed.
I guess I could do something similar? I mean, if it is good enough for JRR Tolkien, J. K. Rowling, Steven King, Star Trek, Star Wars... etc...

As a writer of fanfiction who has stories paused, major writers block with them yet am able to start numerous other ideas, I totally understand you going onto different projects.
As far as the Alyssa character, the easy/obvious solution is that the mind control is a fetish for her. Now, this may seem far too easy/obvious but there ARE people who do have this fetish. Heck, it's actually just a step removed from a total Master-Slave relationship in a BDSM partnership. You could have it where she's into Master/Slave stuff and sees the chip as the ultimate extension of this.

The reader knows only what the protagonist knows. The story is deliberately done this way.
It was you who had pointed out before in the Computer Lab scene that the protagonists reaction to Mai's bitchiness wasn't what you had expected. I needed to put his reaction into context and have his thought process justify his calm response. This scene was going to eventually be a "path" scene where you can choose to "chip" Mai instead as one of the 4 girls so I hadn't spent too much time making sure this was coherant.
Alyssa is an even more extreme version of this.
A young attractive girl having a sudden interest in spending time with a random middle aged guy is fairly believable when you consider the context that he just saved her from being raped.
But would she still feel indebted when she finds out that her feelings might not be her feelings and he is effectively raping her?
Without revealing too much. The protagonist is going to feel guilty about chipping Alyssa and takes her to the university to explain his actions and get alcohol to dissolve her chip. They meet Emily in the cafe who befriends the angry Alyssa and talks her back down.
... a natural segue into some MFF action
I get what you're saying. But the issue between the protag's reaction to Mai's bitchiness and Alyssa's reactions to being controlled/rape are exactly what you pointed out - One is the protagonist, the other a character.The reader knows only what the protagonist knows. The story is deliberately done this way.

It's harder for a player to see their MC take a bad attitude without reacting to it compared to seeing a secondary character doing the exact same thing. Because we are roleplaying the MC. It's like Forced Sissy games. If the player plays the Domme, they'll not react as negatively to a character being converted that doesn't fight back no matter what (the player can easily get to the mental attitude of x character is "just fucked in the head") yet you'll constantly see players in an uproar when they play it from the sub's view and don't have the "get pissed" option.
All I'm trying to say is you naturally have more leeway with character motivations and sense/no sense when they aren't protags or given any POV moments.
