Chapter 15 Now Available!


The long wait is over! Chapter 15 is now available to the public for download here at Itch.Io, including PC, Mac and Android versions.

Here are some of the highlights for this update:

  • All new content for Chapter 15,
  • A new consent sequence the first time you launch the game, which lets you choose whether to see explicit content with shifters. After you make this initial selection, you can change it in the Preferences menu, and
  • A variety of bugs and typos fixed in earlier chapters, including a bad transition from a scene with Seth at Connor's cabin to the garage in Mayhew's tower.

The new consent sequence should make it much more transparent and reduce confusion as to whether players have opted in or out of explicit content with shifters. 

As for the numbers, this is definitely the biggest update I've ever done. That's not an excuse for the amount of time it took to get it to you, but it is huge. We're looking at almost 2,600 lines of script and code, and more than 700 images! All of that said, there was still more I wanted to do with this update, but at a certain point I have to let go. (Maybe I'll do a mini-update in a week or two.)

Alright, that's it for now. I hope you enjoy! Feel free to drop any comments you like below, send them to me via DM, or come by our dysFUNctional Discord channel and say 'hi' to the inmates.

Any guide for romance route?

14b appears to be the version in the Itch download section.

That's correct. ๐Ÿ‘ Version number is not the same as chapter number.

Ack. Thanks!

No problem! You're not the only one who has asked and I know it's confusing. Just a coincidence with how the builds and chapters have been released. Eventually, the version number will be in sync with the latest chapter, and eventually the version number will be higher (e.g., chapter 16 gets released in two or more builds/versions).

I was just wondering, was this update slightly shorter than normal?  It just seems like I blasted through it a lot quicker than I expected.  In any event, I'm looking forward to the next part but I'm *not* looking forward to dealing with the frenchman (heh, I'm reminded of that guy in the second Matrix movie - Merovingian?).   He swore he would get into the MC's pants, after all.

Hey there. By the numbers, it is the biggest single update, but it may play out as a bit shorter due to branches in the sex scenes, which occupied a lot of the script and images. I'm aiming for a quicker turn around on the next update (aiming for early access in early April, then Itch in May); that update is going to be smaller, but entirely story-focused without a lot of branches.

(1 edit)

I did honestly think it might've been due to branching.  I haven't explored too many other branches (kind of single-minded focus on one. lol).  :)  (also, loved Mike from the consensual... might have to kidnap him... >:) )

Ahhh... this update was very "consensual" in the best possible way. 

I was almost upset (in an impatient kind of way) by how long I waited for it but this update but like the others it was perfect and worth the wait and any future wait, if they all come out like this.

I really really want Ronan to like-like us. Angry sex is fine and all but, I want more, if you know what I mean.

Its been a while since I had remember seeing Seth since October of last year but when I saw him again I was like "Aw man, Im gonna mess everything up, going down this route" ๐Ÿ˜…

The game is great, I'm waiting for every update. But my question is, will Ronan be available for an affair with the main character?

Yes and no. It won't be a romance in the way I'm setting up for Nick or Connor, but yes, you can gradually get him to warm up to you (should see some hints of that in Chapter 15 if you've played it right) and I have at least one path/ending I'm working towards where you'll be able to include him.

Wow, I didn't expect the consent sequence to be that entertaining ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป Kudos!

Yay! Glad you liked it. I wanted to have a little fun with it and not have it be all drab and serious. ๐Ÿคฃ

And you knocked it out in the park! ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ˜‚


(Now, I just have to figure out where my old saves went when I reinstalled my PC ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜…

Is there a guide to this game regarding the choices and such I'm starting to get too many saves to keep track of since you can't number them or name them is there anything that can be done about that?

(+1)

If you're on PC or Mac, you can define a name for the save game. It's at the top of the save menu. Unfortunately it is not available on Android due to screen size and sometimes the keyboard would fill too much of the screen and make it impossible to save. 

I'm kind of leaving guides up to fans at this point as it slows me down. Sorry! Probably not the answer you were looking for.

I'm on PC so I will retake a look when I get home and I'll just keep asking questions for when I need thanks

No problem! Here's a screenshot to help.
