Isn't Puck one of those characters who is traditionally played by a woman, like Peter Pan? I'm pretty sure a woman played him last time I saw the play, at least.
It's good to see an intelligent response I was expecting more on this line: Though there is evidence that women acted in street performances, and in other notorious venues, all commercial acting companies of the time were made up entirely of men and it was illegal for women to act on stage professionally until 1661.

The play is usually performed on stage, however there were instances of street theater back in those days. But as I indicated mostly the performers were males. It is only since the confusion of many have the roles been reversed or ignored as a matter of representation. Puck would be a DUKE in the hierarchy of the shadow fairies / elves and that would be third place in the indicated hierarchy. In professional theater when I was attending University, the Puck role was a man, with skill as a harlequin entertainer. In case I am not clear, they were male performers but played the role of women in the case of Titania for official posh audiences. Not like a drag queen...

I went to see AMND at the Open Air Theatre in Regent's Park many years ago (early 2000's) and it was definitely a girl playing Puck.

The "call limitreduce()" phrase got phased out in v0.8.5 and replaced with "lust = limitreduce()". You must have an old copy of ch41.rpy or scripts.rpa in your game folder.
I downloaded v0.8.5 and I get the same error. The game does not continue. Where do we find the old file?

Just finished playing the game for the first time and it ended at that exact same place, with the girl with the hooded figure. So the update was just bug fixes i guess?

:cautious:As the game creator has said several times, this version is solely bug fixes. I seem to remember him saying right after version 0.8.4 came out that 0.8.5 would be only bug fixes.

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
You don't need changes to the game, you need a database! ;p

I'll look into the errors on Day 29!

It took a few nights, but I made an update of my WT+ mod for the new version of the game. It contains additional content based on currently unused renders and public Patreon posts. A link can be found in my signature. Note that while JokerLeader added line breaks to his stat change messages in his latest version of his WT mod, I did not change my mod to handle them like that.

Uhh... I'm talking about in the modern era. I know that in Shakespeare's time all roles would be played by men, but our guy visits London in the 21st century, not prior to 1661. The tradition of some male roles being played by women is a 20th/21st century thing (possibly 19th as well, not sure exactly how old the tradition is).

You're the ONLY person who's mentioned it, but you're quite right, some changes I made later broke those. I've implemented a fix for the next build, but be warned that it's likely to be well into July in the game (and several months in real life) before I'm going to be able to really get to grips with the implications of those choices.

He's referring to the possible options (on day 29) of moving Kari to another apartment or remaining a platonic roommate. There's actually also a "friends with benefits" option, but you really would need to have been playing as an asshole to get that option and it's not really fully expanded on at this point.
