0.16 Early Access Release

0.16 has dropped for our veteran supporters on the Discord!

This is the release where the old threads really crop up...and get tangled. Cornado finally talks, someone above Tao starts coming into focus, and Jacob -- your pick from the poll -- gets his hooks into Claire. Nate keeps pulling too, and he's not the only one who knows it.

As always, dozens -- probably hundreds -- of fixes from your callouts. You make this game better with every report.

Breakdown:

Nate's arc keeps pulling

👑 Jacob steps into the Honeypot -- your pick from the poll!

First real conversation with Cornado -- and it doesn't go where you'd expect

A first follow-up surfaces on whoever's really running things above Tao

Someone returns to Manila -- your old life catches up with the new one

Another day of Club work across all three tracks -- this time with real consequences

If Claire left someone at home, the distance is starting to bite

Two new animations! Claire goes down and people going down on her!

Full audio overhaul -- new cues across the Prologue and Act I for deeper immersion

Continued copyedit pass through the Prologue -- tightening, cleaning, and now through most of High School!

Dozens of new pieces of passage art.

New short hair options for Claire -- long hair options to come in 0.17

    Shout out: JoMOtta! Not only fixing bugs but adding content of his own!

Want early access but can't support at the same level month-in and month-out (we totally get it!) drop down to Agent Applicant or Origin on those tough months rather than dropping out completely, that'll keep the 'streak' alive!
