Closed Beta 0.7.5 is now Live! (Patreon)

Greetings, Researchers! Update 0.7.5 is now live on Steam closed beta branch. This update brings a new investigator: Elizabeth Carter, with 53 new sex scenes.

Elizabeth Carter has been at the helm of DMAIC for nearly two hundred years, but this iron-fisted technology oligarch shows no physical signs of aging. The official explanation from DMAIC is that Elizabeth has undergone extensive gene therapy to achieve immortality, yet her longevity still spawned many a conspiracy theory: Some believe that she is a periodically replaced clone with Elizabeth’s memory while more radical ones claim that the Carter family has a long history of cutting deals with aliens.

After this update, all investigator blueprints can be obtained and analyzed normally even if you do not have their respective Advanced Research Pass. Green and Blue experiment synthesis costs have increased, and you will still require the associated Advanced Research Pass to synthesize an investigator’s experiments.

Patch 0.7.5 introduces an experimental feature: when acquiring an outfit set, players will receive all pieces of that set at once which can be mixed and matched with other clothing. Additionally, accessories have been divided into 4 categories: face, neck, hands, earrings. This allows investigators to wear many types of accessories at once, such as glasses and collars.

• New experiment subjects: Gug and Tcho-Tcho.
• A new hair simulation system has been applied to Elizabeth’s hair, which may result in performance and visual issues on lower-end PCs. We will keep a close eye on issues that may arise.
• A new experimental UI system has been implemented, which should address all remaining known UI bugs/issues from the previous system.
• Players can now browse experiments using category filters.
• Genital Dilation Level recovery rate has been reduced to 1/3rd of its previous speed.
• Players can manually set an investigator as their avatar.
• Players can enter Inspect Mode during experiments.
• Server and network connections have been optimized. The game will no longer boot you to the main menu when connections become unstable.
• Graphics & sound optimization. Depth of Field settings have been reset to address screen blurring due to player's accidental changes to that parameter.

If you encounter any issues/bugs, please feel free to report them to us at our Bug Report Github!

EDIT:

We are releasing a hotpatch today addressing Elizabeth's animation issues in the lobby and changing room, and improve her breast jiggle physics and facial expressions.

EDIT 2:

Thanks for submitting reports related to the connection issues! You should have no
problem connecting to the server now.

EDIT 3:

We have pinpointed the issue causing Elizabeth's hair color flashing with camera viewpoint moving, and penetrating/pulling out animations being played slower than should be. We are currently working on a fix of Elizabeth's masturbation bug. A hotpatch is coming soon.

EDIT 5:

We have received reports regarding increased VRAM requirement causing lag and blurry texture after update 0.7.5. We will provide a hair simulation fidelity level option in the next patch and if the issue persists, provide a non simulated hair system later on.

EDIT 6:

We are working on a mesh based hair solution rn, if enabled Elizabeth and Juzi will have less physically accurate hair strand simulation but it will greatly reduce framerate impact.

EDIT 7:

We are launching update 0.76b around end of month. This patch will implement a less hardware demanding hair rendering solution for Elizabeth and address an issue causing textures to become blurry on computers with low VRAM.

EDIT 8:

After checking suggestions submitted in the last monthly poll (which was already one year ago), there are now enough voting power dedicated to overhauling or removing current sanity system altogether.

We are now thinking about how to proceed with this. What is certain is that the current time sensitive sanity system will go and it will be easier to get Likes.

EDIT 11/3:

Update 0.7.7 is arriving in a few days. The NA server is currently being upgraded in preparation for the update and the maintenance will last for another several hours. Maintenance on Asia and EU servers have been completed.

We aim to double the framerate with this update and deal with blurry texture issues some players are having once and for all.

EDIT 11/4:

NA server maintenance is now complete, you should have no problem accessing Harem Mode now.
