Hey if you can't tell the difference, do you really care? Harsh maybe but just saying...
Just a quick note to say there will be an update, build 0405, in the next few days:
- remove the autosave at the start of the game
- deal with what happens if MC doesn't want Kari to be his GF
- expand on the options on Day 27 (Saturday) depending on the player's personality profile
- probably other stuff I'm too tired to remember right now

It may not be immortal, but may it at least be eternal while it lasts.
Okay, I'll stop with the quotes. haha
What a bunch of cynics you all are. Anna Nichole Smith really loved that 89 year old billionaire.
It's still somewhat chaotic post-move, but I'm hoping to finish build 0405 before the weekend is out. I'm sure as soon as I upload it I will think of some other issue I've forgotten to address.
As things stand, I'm going to suggest that ideally people wind back to the day of the interviews (Day 25), but I think I've covered things for those who don't (or can't).
You should definitely go back to at least the point where you discuss your relationship with Kari to settle the matter of whether or not you're going to be open about relationships with other girls (Day 27). This is somewhat dependent on the personality profile established at the start of the game - you can't say you're looking for true love and then become a swinger!
Just giving the days a number is starting to annoy me, so I'm trying to decide on whether to fix the time of year - my inclination is to say the game begins at the end of March or April. That way it's not completely implausible that there might be some nicer days when Lois wears her summery dresses. Thoughts and comments welcomed.

Hello togs, everyone,
It might be a good idea to make it a real calendar based story. It'll perhaps allow to better tracking things and to better implement in the game all sorts of calendar based events: birthdays, holidays, vacations, regional or time zone differences or events and, of course, seasonal stuff... From which you can always "escape" if you want by taking a business trip, vacation or simply narrate the passing of some time. It also suits better the office/corporate setting.
Lois' summer dresses and Kari's cute outfits can always pop up, even if it's only because of climate craziness. I mean, I live in a windy temperate place and these past weeks we had almost no wind at all and the temperatures are consistently above 30º C. Last year it stayed that way until late November!
On a different note. I believe the word swinger was used loosely, right?

Turns out MC is a huge fan of jazz music from the late '30s and early '40s.

I'm definitely liking the sound of that. I think we have enough love for both Kari and Lois, and it wouldn't be fair to either of them to not be honest about being with multiple girls, they deserve better than that.
If you don't yet know how to use Python's datetime modules message me and I can help, it's very useful.
I've just uploaded build 0405. I don't have time to sort out links right now, so quickest way is just to go to
If you're continuing a previous game, I would recommend you go back to at least Day 25 (the day of the interviews). If you intend to have a relationship with Kari, it's essential you go back to at least Day 27.
What's new?
This build makes use of the after_load function to correct some past issues, so you'll get errors if you roll back after loading.
That means you may want to load a slightly earlier save in some cases.
Further refinements to the recruiting process for the Exec Suite receptionists, especially important if you plan to bring one of the "youngsters" (Kayla or Rei) in as an intern.
Fixed it so the reception staff side images show when they're talking.
Clarification of the ground rules if you intend to have a relationship with Kari (in particular whether you'll commit to a monogamous relationship or not).
Numbered days replaced with dates. I arbitrarily changed things so that the game begins at the end of January/beginning of February of an unspecified year, just because it made the changeover easier! The new content for the next version will therefore begin March 1.
Several minor tweaks to non-essential dialogue, mainly so that characters don't use too similar language to each other in one conversation, .e.g.:
Player: Thank you, Kari, this really helps.
Kari: I'm happy to help.
got changed to Kari saying "You're welcome"

A quick note: your promises to be true to your one love are up to you to fulfill - I'm not going to stop (for example) Lois's flirting just because you've sworn undying love to Kari. The characters have their own personalities and there are relatively few cases in which I outright limit your range of choices.
Conversely, just because you want wild threesomes doesn't mean the girls are going to enthusiastically go along with it the first time you feel like it.

I'm curious why what month it is should make any difference to how easy the changeover is.
So long as we can be honest with them about not being exclusive and they are open to the idea I'm happy! It only makes sense that it would take them some time to get used to an unconventional relationship like that.
Just that we had 28 days of existing gameplay, it fit nicely into February, and the ongoing story (and MC's reign as CEO) can conveniently start on Monday, March 1.

It just seems a little early for the summer clothing that a lot of them are wearing, I'd have thought it starting some time in May or June would have been easier.
Don't hold your collective breath, because my internet is crawling tonight, but I'm currently uploading build 0407 to
Changed the timeframe of the first four weeks to May, fixed bugs in the date code and...
Expanded the fatigue function. There's still more to do but if you reach the point of exhaustion, you can suffer blackouts.
So keep an eye on that energy bar!
What tires you out? Late nights and sexual activity in the main! It's just like real life!
In the next version, coffee will give you a short term boost, but you'll crash if you overdo it.
I'm kind of stymied until the uploads complete, so I will check in later and give a progress report.

Calculating all the dates yourself rather than using the Python standard library to do it for you is kind of crazy, I would suggest using something like this instead:
Python:
default dayzero = date(2021, 5, 2) # Or whatever other date you prefer
default currentdate = None
init python:
from datetime import date, timedelta
def advanceDate(n = 1):
global dayc, currentdate, dayname, datetoday
dayc += n
currentdate = dayzero + timedelta(days = dayc)
dayname = currentdate.strftime('%A')
datetoday = '{dt:%B} {dt.day}'.format(dt=currentdate)$ advanceDate() each morning. If later on you want to skip multiple days, you'd use something like $ advanceDate(3) to advance three days.Spending all the time I do on this whole thing is kind of crazy. I'd never done much with python before this little project, so it's a fairly big learning curve.
Thanks, MoP, I will look at that more closely for the next version.
All versions are up on itch, I will upload to mega.nz overnight and post those links tomorrow.
This is mostly a re-hash of my latest post on patreon, but for those of you who aren't on there...
Barring any more bugs, 0407 should be the last build for this version, and then I can get back to version 0.5, which will take us through our fifth week.
There will also be some further "backfill" of the earlier story. I've described the development process as akin to creating a painting, where you start with a rough sketch and then add detail as it progresses, but I hope to have at least the first couple of weeks fleshed out a little more and locked down with the next version.
What else is coming? Not all of this will be in the next version but here's a taste of what I have planned.
You'll have the option of whether to pursue Ashley's and Mallory's story lines (or not).
I'm also planning to expand on the options for if you only want a platonic relationship with Kari.
Even if that is the case, she will remain a central character in the story.
The plot will also be thickening with regards to Greenfield Genetics, I.R.I.S. and The Foundation.
It's possible we may see our old pal Randy again. I know how much people enjoyed him... ;p
You and Lois will be flying to London to hobnob with management at ASi UK, and maybe get in a little sightseeing.
And, at risk of disappointing Lois's legion of fans, you're not getting in her panties any time soon! But you know what they say - good things come to those who wait!
Still trying to come up with a way to break the news that all the girls are closely related to the MC... oh well.
