you need super high lust and super high temptation at the same time as you enter the bathroom
It takes time to produce bugfree quality content, that's just how it is. Even more time when it is a sandbox/non-linear type of gameplay where it is harder to avoid and detect bugs.
I have no written script, only ideas and a basic outline of how the story will unfold. I have to make most of it up as I go along, and make everything consistent. This takes time. Then producing the visual media itself takes more time than you probably realize. Especially for this theme with nuns, where most material is from the 90's and 00's. A lot of time has been/still is spent finding material I can/want to use, and in the best possible quality. But even when using the original source (I buy much of it, if I can find it), it's still low quality with today's standard, so I use AI on most media to enhance the quality. That also adds time and ruins the workflow.
Aside from the writing and visual media, there are new features being added. And finally, you have to test everything, fix bugs, and polish it. If you look at the changelog for v0.4.1, you see some of what was done since the v0.4 update. This is in less than a month. And far from everything I do is added to the changelog. For one thing not mentioned, I also updated/improved the early content in several places.

Even those who dont know how to code, could easily find out how difficult these games can become.
Just try and draw a logic tree, branching for choices/decisions and how they interact/ (Flow chart to diagram your story) Non-coders who think its not "that hard"...try it. Take a short story: 1 MC, 2 potential LIs, and 3 relevant NPCs that conflict in one way or another, with one or the other LI. Now, do a 1 week flowchart, 4 actions/day (Morning, afternoon, evening, night) Very basic stuff. Flow chart it, and see how quickly your nice little map starts looking like an inter-coastal waterway.

How does corruption gets increased I played for quite some time I am stuck
Check Journal->Help with a quick guide. Early in the game there are also some scripted events that lead to increased corruption.Is there a walkthrough? or even a how to get the stats up guide? or even a cheat button? just covering all bases here lol

I get this update had more technical behind the scenes than previous... so yeah shorter story progression. I'm fine with it, what Alchahest makes (both this and Paradise Found) is quality content! He does a lot of research into his games (Paradise Found had some interesting psychology!) and also... the story itself is just usually a higher quality than most!
I release bigger "investigation updates", updates that focus on advancing the investigation/story, and they have versions on the form v0.x -- so v0.3, v0.4, v0.5.
Then I have "content updates" on the form v0.x.y -- so v.3.1, v0.4.1, v0.4.2 (yes, probably next update will be v0.4.2, another content update). The content updates are a way to add content to fill out the world before moving on with the story, and I can introduce things I might rely on later in the story. And yes, also taking the time to do some more technical work, adding features and stuff, basically crossing off a few more things on the (maybe-)to-do-list.
So v0.3 was a big update, advancing the investigation and story, while v0.3.1 was a content update. Then came v0.4, another big update. And now v0.4.1, a content update.
The main reason the content updates are smaller is because I release them faster. v0.4 took over 2 months to release, v0.4.1 less than a month.

Hello there !
Kinda stuck at 35 corruption as well. Can't do anything with the nuns at night (even with high lust/tempt), and by looking at the media folder, i'm missing Jana, Clara and Rumika scenes as well.
Can't see how to get those...
Any help will be appreciated

just picked this up for the first time. not bad. nuns aren't one of my usual fetishes, but pregnant nuns? sign me up, lol.
lot of this is trial and error it seems... I don't exactly know what i did to go from 35 to 40 corruption for example. also the trust/authority system seems kinda redundant to me, outside of Riley, that is. it was a "pick one and run with it" kinda deal, insofar as i could figure. started on a trust run and reached EoC with 53|33 respectively, and I'm not sure where i picked up each incremental authority bump.
biggest issue i had was figuring out how to get that morning encounter with novice olenka off. took me about 10-15 in game days to figure out how to min-max my lust for that. that and the alembic puzzle hint. don't think i was clicking too much, but the hint kept disappearing faster then i could read it
looking forward to more content.
Update: did a restart from scratch, focusing on authority over trust. amending my previous statement, authority seems to be more of a hard mode. for the most part authority prompts had higher threshold requirements than trust, and in one particular case, there was no amount of authority that would open the path forward. actually bottlenecked there for a bit until i was able to pump my trust up
