Developer Notes

Episode 2

Old saves should work fine. However, some of the achievements that have been added are related to content from the first episode. If you wish to collect those achievements you will have to replay that content. Of course all achievements are optional.
Unfortunately, it is necessary to download the full game, as I've made several changes to episode 1 content and changed the way the game is packaged. However, I have made preparations such that for future episodes it should be possible to download the new content separately as a patch, if desired.
If you run into any bugs/typos please let me know (either through the Discord server or on Patreon).
The game is not optimized for Android and the assets are heavily compressed due to size limitations. I would always recommend playing the pc/mac version if you can. However, if you want to it's now also possible to play on an android phone/tablet.

Episode 1

The first episode serves mainly as an introduction to the game's world and characters before 'shit hits the fan', so to speak. The MC is female but eventually ends up with male genitalia (alongside existing female genitalia) due to a freak accident. The MC is attracted to females, thus this game will mostly feature romancing other females (but with the added benefit of penetration).

Episode 5.1 Episode 5 I've been working hard on the update! Right now, we’re at 1900+ renders and 113 animations, and I’m still rendering new scenes as we speak. I’m really happy with how the episode is shaping up, and I’m confident that by the time it’s fully done, it’ll be more than worth the wait. Episode 4.1 Bugfixes Episode 4 Episode 4, titled 'Smile', will be playable on Saturday, October 19th. It will be available for free for anyone that owns Having a HARD Time on Itch.io. There are a few reasons why it took a bit longer, one of which being that my PC died not too long ago (not to worry, it's up and running again, and with upgraded parts), but the most important reason has to do with its size. It ended up being the largest episode to date, as I'm writing this I have already surpassed the 2000 renders and 100 animations, which for me is a pretty crazy amount. For some perspective, this is more than double the size of the very first episode. There are still several animations and a bunch of renders queued up, and I also have quite some work to do in the coming days, but it should all be done by the 19th. Episode 3 ~1900 new renders 69 (not on purpose, but I'll take it) new animations 40 new songs 11 new achievements Small tweaks/improvements to existing renders and writing Added an option to change the hotkey for opening the phone inside the phone's settings app (standard is still middle mouse button) Fixed laggy animations for some older computers by changing the way they're programmed in. Started adding translations (note these are still a work in progress and also the third episode script is not yet translated). Other quality of life improvements Added gesture functionality to the Android version (i.e. swipe up to open the phone) Episode 2 1400+ new renders 39 new animations 40 new songs Changed animations to .webm format Fixed several typos from episode 1 Added spellchecker in order to minimize typos going forward Small tweaks/improvements to existing renders and writing Added achievements Made all sex audio (moans etc.) optional through settings Small improvements to UI and code Changed the title and title screen of episode 1 Created Discord server to discuss everything related to the game Added official Android version. Episode 1 Introduction featuring more than 1000 renders and a bunch of animations.
