This month's beta update is a big one, so the patch notes got a little bit out of hand. To recap the most important changes, everyone (except Saeva) has a new face now, and the story finally got extended with the conclusion of Phase 3. 

You can look at some more previews on my Ko-fi.

Regarding the demo, I also have an exciting announcement! 

The demo will be extended (or, more accurately, restored) to its original length, spanning all the way up to the second escape room. The feedback from the beta testers helped a tremendous amount, and the corresponding parts should now be polished enough for a wider audience. 

The demo update is coming out within the next few weeks!

Either way, the full patch notes for 0.5.2 are the following:

• Extended the story with 7k+ words, and the first debate with serious consequences.
• New faces and pixel art for Absen, Tiss, Ima, Reira, and Sed.
• New face for Diven.
• Added a nipple.
