Paradise Inc [v.3.1] (2021) (Eng) [HTML] [Completed] [Sinspirational Games]

v3.1 - 2024-10-06
Initial Steam release!
We're happy to finally make Paradise Inc. available on Steam! This port includes over 50 Steam achievements and is the long-awaited finale to our Paradise journey. Paradise will remain free on our website.

Added new 'Font Size' setting. You can now increase and reduce the text size to make all that reading a little easier on the eyes.
Minor refinements to the 'light mode' theme.
Fixed error that made you unable to save Shakes n' Sundaes during the final conflict in some situations.
Fixed error that caused a game-break if you allow Inferno to be destroyed during the final conflict.
Fixed error that prevented Jolie's achievement for her 'hucow/cowgirl' transformation from being granted in Steam. This won't fix existing playthroughs, unfortunately - you'll have to transform her again!
Fixed display error for options in the finale if you do not have enough energy to pay for the cost

v2.0 -2023-08-21
Paradise Inc is Content Complete!
An End For Every Beginning

- The final story update! Join your main character months down the road as they enjoy the world they've come to build!

- Damien Bull, Jolie Masked, and Xavier Vampire's date storylines have all been slightly altered to make it clear the MC is not an option, and their 'waiting for resolution' text now hints heavily at which character they can duo with.

- The final set of achievements are now possible: Gal Pal, Boy Toy, Package Smuggler, S is the Best, and All About the D.

- Breakfast In Bed: Wake up in the arms of your lover or (for those players who lean more toward a harem than monogamy) wake up the midst of your many lovers!

- A lunch meeting: Players who stabilized Lazren's Portal or impressed Avery with their financial prowess can visit their chosen patron for a bit of 'personal attention' in the day! Did we mention there's achievements for these?

- A party to remember! Enjoy a celebration of everything you've accomplished. Drop it on your favorite couples to see how they're doing, or just get an eyeful of the hijinks your employees get up to!

v1.18(2023.06.14)
Sammy (Bimbo) Romance Conclusion

Sammy may have expressed to you that she wished she had someone who lived in the moment as much as she does. When she decides to find a partner to hit the mall with, who better than you?

A little extra magic can make you just as... exaggerated as she is, and a little time with nothing in your head might be good for you! You might even meet a cute couple while you're out, and show them exactly how the new you behaves!

- Those romantically entangled with your favorite secretary can enjoy a bonus date at the local amusement park, and get up to a lot of extra fun on the Ferris wheel!

- Sammy is a non-exclusive romance.

Petra (Siren) Romance Conclusion

Petra's brother is still snooping around, but how hard can that be to deal with? Certainly it won't result in needing to call for assistance from the legendary Flying Dutchman or an intimate encounter beneath the waves... will it?

- Take your newest flame up to the pool to relax in the jacuzzis overlooking the city. (They've always been there, haven't they?)

-Petra is a non-exclusive romance.

Petra (Dark Elf) Romance Conclusion

If you put off dealing with Petra's brother long enough, he might actually show up. You can deal with him yourself... or maybe Xavier might know a thing or two about family issues?

- Xavier and Petra are quite a Duo! Their relationship might seem fraught on the outside, but we assure you that 'Slap Slap Kiss' is in full effect! Catch them dancing the night away and maybe witness the start of a burgeoning relationship!

- Or, should you handle it yourself, enjoy the grateful thanks of one of your most loyal, eager employees as she-- ...Nah, not her style! Have fun being tied to a chair for a little session in the dungeon!

- For those pursuing a relationship personally with dear Petra, why not enjoy a night on the town at a bar? It wouldn't be planned, but surely if something exciting were to happen, you could handle yourself...couldn't you?

-Petra is a non-exclusive romance.

v1.17 + Bug Fix
Chastity's Last Task!

Meet Virginia, the last of Chastity's challenges -- and an (ahem!) honest-to-God nun! Will you be able to corrupt her, or is there more going on than meets the eye?
Tour your locations with your guest to try and identify her weakness... or just enjoy the comraderie of a new companion!
Defend your Tower, pay your debts, and at last discover why Lazren picked you!
Closing Your Accounts!

Avery now has a new debt payment system. Visit Selene in the Vault to pay your debt before the end game. Dialogue has been updated to incorporate this new feature.
New Achievements!

New achievements have been activated -- and a few new ones added! You can now strive towards:
- S is the Best
- All About The D
- Boy Toy
- Package Smuggler
- Gal Pal
- Bite The Hand That Feeds
'Huge Tracks of Land' has been changed from 204800 energy to 25600 to reflect changes in the Vault capacity. (See below!)
'Infernal Architect' now only requires all buildings be level 3, rather than 5. Now that the game is nearing completion, most people won't have the advantage of downtime between releases to build up all the way to level 5.
One of the hidden achievements is now easier to obtain (No, we won't tell you which one)
Other Changes!

Maximum vault energy cap changed from 204800 to 25600. Note that this will reduce your current maximum to the new amount, if you are over it. (This is the BASE amount, and the total cap can be increased and altered by means of various in-game perks, such as Storage Tanks management mode at Shakes 'n Sundaes.)

v1.16.1 - Hot Fix
Fixed issue causing a soft lock if you engage with Mason's storyline while also dating someone.

v1.16(2023.01.19)
New Romance Paths Have Been Added, Featuring Many Guest Appearances From Your Favorite Employees!

Dana & You
Ring the bells! If you need to convince Dana that you'll always make time for him, what better way than popping the question? Enjoy an honest-to-Lazren wedding, officiated by Sloth Herself! After the ring is safely on his finger, don't forget to take your husband out on another, bonus date to enjoy the 'benefits' of married life! As you might expect, this is a VERY exclusive romance.

JJ & You
On the other end of the scale, one of your submissives wants a little LESS tender loving care. JJ turned herself into a cowgirl, and it's time the others realized that's what she wants to be. Get ready to organize an event featuring all of your friends to give your pet exactly what she wants. That doesn't mean, of course, that she can't get some tender love on the side, with a bonus date to an outside club!

JJ & Sammy
But you aren't the only one who can help JJ clear her head. Your favorite secretary is looking for a wingman to go pick up cute boys, and JJ might just be the perfect ticket. Enjoy their first trip to Inferno to test the waters and see how well they like it! Features a bonus work scene in Shakes 'n Sundaes to enjoy Sammy 'trying out the equipment'!

Various Bug Fixes, Typos, and small changes!

Patch Notes - 1.15 - Feeding The Beast(2022.10.29)

Chastity's Second Challenge

Chastity has another challenge for you, and this one is a doozy. Michael is loud, belligerent, and knows exactly what you are. His terms are simple: give him exactly what he wants, or he'll tank your chances to ever be Desire. What will you do when you find a wish you don't want to fulfill?

A Romantic Interlude

Gather your thoughts on a dark midnight evening and maybe receive a drop in from a very special partner, including Paradise's first small scene featuring a Harem situation (multiple non exclusive romances).

A Beast, Within or Without

Two options to complete the transformation for Michael and finish his storyline, but you might just have more of an upper hand than he thinks.

(Werewolf) What big....teeth you have! Grant Michael the physical power to dominate others by letting out his inner beast. This werewolf is strong, lean, and more than happy to take what he wants. Will you shelter inside or make yourself prey?
(Eldritch One) Dominance over the body is fine, but dominance over the mind is so much more intimate. You can grant him the power to cloud the mind as he sees fit... by transforming him into a tentacle-faced eldritch beast of forgotten lore! Can you remain clear-eyed against such a being, or will you fall under his psychic sway?


Begin The Hunt

Michael's intimate scenes are not activated by request. HE will find YOU, if you've opted in. These scenes are most similar to dominant Mason's in style, with at least three new small scenes for each of the two forms.



Achievement Improvements

Your achievements will now follow you from place to place -- provided you export and import your saved game! Previously achievements were locked to the particular browser and computer you played on. Now, they are part of the save file itself and can be 'transported' accordingly to whatever device you desire.



Bug Fixes and Typos

Because there's always more. Keep reporting them! Eventually, some day, we'll give up and cry. Er, I mean, we'll finally catch them all!

V 1.14.0(2022.08.14)
Romance Expansion

Love is once again in the air and this time brings new content for Cass (Punk) and Xun (Dryad). These romances both features not only the opportunity to grow closer to them by solving a problem, but also the chance to pair them up with another of your employees that you've gotten close to!

Cass Romance

Your rebel without a cause is pining over the one who got away and this update completes the romance path for Cass. Will you help to track down her lost love to help her get back her swagger, or will you pair her up with your neighborhood siren to see the kind of music they make together?

MC Romance or BFF Content - Cass can be romanced by the Main Character (you!) as an Exclusive romance, or her path can be completed platonically. Both paths feature new story content and a steamy encounter, while the romance path also contains a new repeatable date opportunity to enjoy your new found closeness.

Petra Siren Pairing - Alternatively, you can solve two birds with one stone by introducing Cass to Petra (Siren) and reward yourself with a new band playing at the Tower. After their initial content, Petra and Cass will both show up occasionally during work at Inferno for some very boundary-pushing performances!

Xun Romance

Family is always trouble isn't it? Xun is full of life and has no regrets about her choice, but there's still the problem of a change in lifestyle. How is she supposed to keep a connection to her family when she's suddenly a nature spirit AND a woman?

MC Romance or BFF Content - The MC can always volunteer to help her return to her family with a story close enough to reality to be believed, but don't be surprised if you don't want to leave after getting to know her folks. Xun can be pursued as an Polyamorous romance. While both paths result is new story content and a new sexual encounter, the romance also features a repeatable date.

Damien Bull Pairing - If Xun needs someone polite and charming to back her up, you know just the stud! Sending Damien will help assist Xun with her family, but you may find nature taking its course in regards to Damien's desire to start a family. In addition to a new steamy encounter, you can also run into this pairing occasionally while working at Shakes 'n Sundaes.


Solo Resolution - If you don't feel comfortable getting involved, you can encourage Xun to solve the situation on her own. Though this path does not feature extensive additional content in this patch, it may alter the epilogue for Xun during game end.

Additional Fixes and Modifications

Additional Date Opportunities - A new system will be introduced in Chapter 3 that allows you to go on additional dates. This will make it a little easier to do more pairings, or to form a bit of a harem if that is what you're in to.

Devil's Own Luck Achievement - This achievement is now a little more reliable to pick up and work toward. Formerly, the achievement was 'cheat-proof' so that if you missed Xavier on your first attempt, you could not hit the back button or reload your save in order to try again. Because of the high amount of RNG luck involved, we have removed the 'cheat-proof' check. Now, if you want to, you can reload or back up and repeat the first night of hunting Xavier until you get lucky!

Maximum Vault/Energy Cap - Selene is a very flexible girl, but she does have her limits! Or, at least, now she does. Since we're closing in on the end-game, we've implemented a maximum Vault expansion cap of 204800 energy. If you have more than that, your excess energy will be set down to that amount. The 'Huge Tracks of Land' achievement has been modified to reflect this.

Nadia Focus Bug - When you're ready for the big game with Nadia and happen to ask Mason about foci, he incorrectly told her you had some, when he didn't! We've corrected Mason's inventory paperwork so he has the most accurate and up-to-date information.

Cassy Date Closure - Fixed the date for Cassy's romance from firing for BFF relationships. Though she appreciated the extra time, the date is pretty explicit about the lovey dovey stuff and shouldn't be shared with the 'friends only' path.


1.13.1

Bug fixes abound

- Friendzone Mason will not longer go silent and break the game if you dare to ask him questions.

- You can now talk to Mammon at the bar to collect on your investments should one of them mature while you're being visited by the sin of Greed.

- Due to a stock market realignment, the 'dividends' building option in the bank now outputs the correct 0.5% payment for your current banked money, rather than 5% per level.

- Builders of Inferno will now be properly recognized in the local paper and receive the achievement. This should retroactively correct the issue for anyone with the club unlocked (This should also make it far easier to achieve the One Prints, Two Prints, Red Prints, Blue Prints and Infernal Architect cheevos!)

Update 1.13.0

Story Content

-A phone call from Chastity. She's got a challenge for you to prove your mettle as a successor to Cara, but why would a Virtue care about who becomes a Sin? And how can you tell if she's playing fair?

- New bad ends: If you can't pass Chastity's challenge, it's (sexy) game over! Experience one of four new 'bad ends' involving Xavier (Vampire), Petra (Dark Elf), Sara (Kitsune), or Mason (Dominant), in addition to the 'classic' bad end options from chapter 1.


Nadia

- A new character! Nadia is a high rolling gambler with a connection to Chastity. Can you find a way to give her what she wants when all she wants is the thrill of the game?

- A high stakes gamble! Try to shake Nadia's concentration as the cards come down, but be careful: she'll be doing the same to you! Be sure to choose your answers carefully, as every word could sway the outcome!

- Angel Form: A victorious Nadia is gifted a part of your tower as her very own. How will you handle her reality-warping powers when not even you are immune?

- Genie Form: Everyone must pay the piper. If you come out on top, your wish is her command. What will you do with a genie in your pocket?


Mechanical Updates

Named Saves: You can now give a customized name to your save-game slots, to help you better organize your different playthroughs. Note that this should work on PC, Mobile, and probably consoles, but will not work on the Itch.io desktop app. (But will work on Itch.io's website!)

Sidebar Notifications: We've added a glow effect to the sidebar icons for your employee files, your PDA, and your achievements to help you better tell when new information is unlocked and available for you.

Improved Hints: We've redesigned our sidebar to keep track of your major goals during each chapter. This should make it a bit easier to figure out what you ought to be doing.

Chapter 3 Skip: You may now skip directly to chapter 3 from the opening. You will have everyone unlocked but Petra and Xavier, and will have built all of the starting buildings, the second floor, the bank, and the casino (at level 3 where applicable).


-----

We hope you're just as excited as we are! We'll be checking in next week with an art preview for our backers, and soon it'll be time for Nadia to stretch her wings and fly!

1.12.0

Romance Storylines Now Complete for Cassy (AI) and Samantha (Partner). Romance one of your employees yourself, or play matchmaker and pair them off to help with each other's problems. Unlocks new art and new sex scenes, and may alter final epilogue at game end (future content).

New Mechanics

'Exclusive' vs 'Polyamorous' Romances
Different strokes for different folks! If you choose to deepen your relationship with your employees further, some of them will expect a (romantically) exclusive relationship, while some of them prefer to share and share alike. Your partners will make clear what they prefer! Make sure you're willing to respect their wishes!
Update to Mason's Romance
If you have already entered into a D/s relationship with your incubus engineer, this will now count as an exclusive romance. The crystalline resonance which bonded you is powerful, and doesn't promote sharing.
Recolored Art
We've tweaked some of the darker skin tones for the main character to improve the look in some of the new full body art pieces included with this update.

Samantha - A Sub Of Her Own

Main Character Pairing:
Submit to your favorite secretary! After going on two dates with Samantha and choosing not to enter into a relationship with Mason, talk to Mason about Samantha's desires. Samantha is an exclusive romance.
Dana Pairing:
Why not pair up your employee needing a permanent sub with one needing a more permanent dom? Go on two dates with Dana and Samantha, then suggest they look to one another for comfort. Enjoy a new duo scene in the office.
Mason Pairing:
Turning down Mason has left his better than he was, but a little adrift. No one would be happier to teach him how to feel again than Samantha. Go on two dates with Samantha, turn down a relationship with Mason, then suggest they look to each other for what they need. Enjoy a new duo scene in the office.


Cassy - Digital Denizen

Main Character Pairing:
Upgrade your relationship status with your friendly neighborhood AI! After going on two dates with Cassy, select 'think about Cassy's Problem' in the bedroom, and spend 1000 energy to create a way for you to enter her world, then encourage a more romantic relationship. Cassy is non-exclusive.
'Besties' pairing:
As above, think about Cassy's problem and build a way to visit her. She's happy to have someone she can interact with directly, who can 'plug in' from time to time. Enjoy your friendship! (Does not count as a romantic relationship and is possible while in an exclusive relationship)
Jolie Pairing:
Solve one problem with another. Jolie wants to be in pictures, and Cassy wants to vacation in the real world. Jolie can play the role of a brand new cyborg, allowing Cassy control while the actress runs around in cyberspace. Enjoy a new duo scene in the office.

v1.11.0 Public
Avery Arrives - The Sin of Greed has finally arrived in Paradise. Discuss matters with Lazren's brother and see what he thinks about your little operation. If you're truly impressive, you might find that industry brings certain rewards, while those who barely struggle over the finish line might receive an interesting offer.... and those who don't finish at all may find that he will finish them instead.

Chapter 3 Begins - A new plotline begins in Paradise. It turns out there's more to Lazren's plans for you than she first admitted. The stakes are higher, and the path not quite so straight-forward. Will you play your political cards correctly? Look forward to future updates expanding this as Paradise Inc continues to grow.

Reactivity Increase - Recruited characters will now react to the changing of the chapters, and will comment about current events. The are new comments for every character in Paradise!

Revamped Advanced PDA - The 'Advanced' view of the PDA has been expanded to show much, much more of the behind-the-scenes statistics for those of you wanting to fine-tune your efficiency and progress, and see all the goodies in one convenient place.

Additional Duo Scenes - A near miss on the vote doesn't mean we never expand! Gym-goers might run into some fun with a submissive Mason and Dana; while Dominant Mason prefers to spend his time in Inferno with the twin Selenes. Our favorite giantess naga has been spending some hours in the park for our resident Siren, and may also be more than happy to have company as well!

v1.10.1 Public
No matter how much you prepare, there's always a detail or two! We've snagged a couple of bugs and gotten them fixed:

Missing dialog avatars for post-rescue Selene in both her forms
The Sisters bottling location image will now display correctly
Fixed an issues where the Cultist avatar was broken if you started a new game
An energy display ('NaN') error related to constructing Inferno while recruiting Drow Petra.
Errors where certain sex scenes did not advance the time of day
A few minor typos
We also used the opportunity to add in something we were working on for release but didn't quite finish on time. Now that it's done, though... !

Selene's expansions (upstairs and downstairs) now have animated images for their final expansion phase!
This does require you to re-download the asset pack and the HTML file, if you are playing offline, and to load your most recent saved game (loading the autosave is fine). Once that's done, everything should be up to date and you can continue enjoying the adventur

1.9.2:
Fixed a potential game breaker where Dominant Mason triggering in the morning could trap the player in their bedroom with no way to advance to the Samantha/Mason scene.
Fixed a display issue with foci cost in Petra's transformation.

1.9.1:
Fixed several instances where the MC would be addressed with variables.
Fixed an issue that caused two scenes to play on top of one another when Dominant Mason invited Samantha to your room
Fixed an issue where accessing Submissive Mason's intimate scene directly from R&D resulted in a blank page, or the wrong scene playing.

1.9.0:
-Submissive Mason
Those looking to add another servant to their entourage will find this a wonderful time to wrap a collar permanently around Mason's neck. Dominant players can give submissive Mason a number of tasks ranging from breakfast (and perhaps something more) in bed, adjustments to certain garments worn beneath his uniform, and the opportunity to share your submissive with someone else working in the main office.

-Dominant Mason
Players with a less domineering attitude can instead choose for Mason to bind you instead. Mason is, however, a demanding top. Characters can expect to be summoned to his office seemingly at random, where he will task the character with whatever whim pleases him. Characters who follow their dominant's commands can expect to be rewarded. Those with a more bratty edge will find out exactly what sort of punishment that big brain can dream up...

-Taking It Slow
Too much commitment? After the story event, players who are not currently interested in gaining a permanent sub OR dominant can instead encourage Mason to find his own path. This includes all the mechanical rewards for the character and improves their outlook, but does not trigger a permanent change to your relationship. This path may be expanded upon later (CoughRomanceCough) but currently represents an option for players who would rather keep things casual with their head scientist.

v1.8.3:
More typos
Informed Lazren that she shouldn't call you 'daughter' when you're male.
Took a course on investment banking (fixed serious error with 'Dividends' mode)
Restored proper space/time continuum in Elysium. Working there now advances time normally.
Patched in a missing variable for banked Energy bonus
Restored the character customization "quick access" link in the left pane, which somehow mysteriously disappeared between 1.8.1 and 1.8.2. *cough*Cambion*cough*

v1.8.2:
Corrected an issue which caused the Casino show a whole lot of 0s and 'NaN's.
You should now be able to change your necklace facing properly in Chapter 1
Corrected a repeating line in Mason's question panes that wasn't supposed to be there.
Corrected several small typos

v1.7.0 Public
New Character: Sara
- Sara has been added as a recruitable character. She can be met in the Casino in the afternoon or evening after the player has introduced themselves to Mammon.
- Pre-Transformation Sara's only location is the Casino, but she has both an 'on duty' and an 'off duty' mode. Your first two encounters will see you meet her in both of these modes, after which you can talk to her 'on duty' persona in the afternoon, and find her 'off duty' in the evenings. The 'on duty' conversations lead to the Magician path, while the 'off duty' conversations lead to the Kitsune option.
- Regardless of form, Sara can be found in the Casino after transformation. She'll be running a stage show as your magician, or running a small bar at the kitsune.
- Sara is currently not available for the 'Date night' romance events.

Casino Work Scenes
- With the addition of a character to the Casino comes the option to supervise there. Update 1.7.0 comes with 7 new scenes: 3 scenes unlocked with the building, an additional 2 if you have purchased the casino upgrade, and one each for Sara's new forms.

Assorted Bug Fixes and Improvements
-As always, we've been looking over the code and making adjustments to anything out of place. Stability and fewer typos are always good!

v1.6.0
Bug Fixes
- A considerable number of lingering bugs and broken panes have been fixed. Special thanks to Goctionni from the TGGameSite Discord server for providing us with a Twine Validator of his own design, which really aided us in tracking down these persistent little gremlins in the code.

Tower Disasters
- Beginning a week after Lazren's return and approximately every 2 weeks after that, the tower will begin to exhibit a few odd behaviors. It is, after all, still learning and part of that learning is going to be screwing up from time to time. That is perfectly understandable for most people, but when most of your employees screw up they can't reverse gravity inside the building or accidentally fill it with giant rats!

Not to worry. Mason has the fixes well in hand. You could stay with him and put things back in order with only a minimal hit to your energy, or you can take the opportunity to get away from the tower for a little R&R. That's the easy question, but the far harder question is...who will you take with you?

Dates
- Each disaster carries with it an opportunity to take one of your transformed employees (Samantha, Damien, Jolie, Cassandra, Petra, or Xavier) out on a date. Each character has prepared content for two trips out away from the tower, and the second will introduce a plot thread for the character's eventual romance path. When you reach the second date with the character, a warning will appear for the end of content and the second date will replay when chosen for all future dating opportunities.

- There is not currently any penalty for going on dates with multiple employees, as none of the content finishes a romance path. This being a very odd workplace, most of the your employees are open-minded, but once things escalate select characters may be a little more possessive of you.

v1.5
- Petra's transformation path will unlock for those who have both finished her storyline by working in security at night (i.e. you unlocked her intimate menu), and have also captured and transformed Xavier successfully. About a week after those two events have both occurred, the player will be interrupted by Petra during the normal course of play. Once Petra reveals the nature of her desire, Mason will once again be able to provide options to fulfill it.

- Players who have built Elysium (whether or not Xavier is a dryad) will be able to gift Petra with a Siren transformation.

- Players who have built Inferno (whether or not Xavier is a vampire) will be able to welcome Petra into the ranks of the Drow.

- After transformation, Petra will still work the evenings in the Security Office. However, the Drow form can be found in Inferno in the morning, enjoying a quiet moment before the place opens, and the Siren form can be found swimming in Elysium in both the morning and the afternoon.

- In addition to the regular scenes, Siren Petra features a unique scene variation for submissive males, while Drow Petra has a special scene for submissive futanari characters. Combined with JJ's unique female scene, we now have 1 special scene for each of the three PC sexes. Both will also have an additional potential work scene interacting with Xavier/Xun if they share a location.

v1.4
Hola everyone!

Luciana and I have been working hard on patch 1.4.0, our 'Gender Patch'. Although this patch was extremely focused on one main aspect -- adding the male and female genders to the game -- it has been probably the largest update we've ever done. Every line of text needed to be re-read, evaluated, and adjusted to suit our new system. It's been a lot of work, but we're almost there!

Patch 1.4.0 will be released to our Patreon backers on Friday, August 14th. As always this will be an early preview build, so while we hope to squash as many bugs as possible between now and release, there may still be a few areas where the new genders aren't quite firing correctly. This makes public release for the patch August 28th, when we will release the new content to all players.

So what's in the patch?

Well, obviously: new genders! You can now choose to begin your game as either completely male, completely female, or the 'original' succubus form, and play that way from the beginning. For those with existing games, Lazren will teach you the secrets of changing sex when you meet her again in Chapter 2... presuming you passed your review! Once you reach Chapter 2, you will be able to freely adjust both your physical sex and your coloration to your liking. Take a look in the mirror -- you might like what you see.

All existing scenes and conversations have been tweaked (some lightly, and some significantly) to show off all three player genders. Some are essentially the same scene with an eye toward not mentioning anatomy you don't possess, others diverge into somewhat different acts or attitudes, and JJ features a brand new scene for Dominant Females only. We plan on introducing more unique gender scenes in future updates now that we have the coding in place.

Speaking of Chapter 2: you can now skip directly to Chapter 2, should you so choose to. Taking the 'shortcut' has some advantages (like, not having to play through content you've already seen before), but it also comes with some limitations. You can choose to build two locations and transform two people: the bare minimum to meet Lazren's requirements. Playing the game through 'the right way' might get you more than that, but this IS a shortcut!

Reading through everything also gave us an excuse to do some pretty significant editing to existing content. We found and corrected over 150 typos, a handful of genuine bugs, and did some basic cleanup in various areas. Hopefully this will result in a smooth, better experience for all of our existing work.

Future Plans

In terms of future plans, Patch 1.5.0 should be a smaller, quicker patch that focuses on Petra's ultimate fate in Paradise Heights, and will feature her gaining two full transformation options (Siren and Drow). On August 31st we'll also be putting up our next content poll for patch 1.6.0 after Petra, so be sure to look for that after our public release of this patch.

As always, we can't emphasize enough how much we appreciate your backing for our little project. We've been growing and growing, and we hope you'll continue to join us in this endeavor for a long time to come.

Happy Hunting!

v1.3
In 1.3.0, strange goings-on point to an intruder in the tower. Why are they there, what are they planning -- and how can you stop them before they get what they want?

New Characters!

Xavier King
- Xavier’s story begins in Chapter 2 after the player has built the Gym, Shakes ‘n Sundaes, the Computer Café, and the Bank. However, the player will also need to build the Security Office once unlocked to progress the story.
- Engage in a Cat and Mouse chase with the journalist to locate and catch him before he assembles enough evidence of your nefarious business operations! Failure to do so might prove fatal for Lazren’s plans…and for your future!
-Two Paths of Transformation: Embrace life and attune him to nature, creating your very own Dryad, or embrace death, and begin a Vampiric bloodline. The choice is yours!

Petra Torres
- Welcome Petra to your service as head of security, for those times when you need human eyes for tasks the tower can’t handle itself. She's a strong, no-nonsense woman with a laid-back attitude and a quick sense of humor -- and knows not to ask TOO many questions.

-Work side by side in the security office and unlock some intimate scenes with the military woman. Just make sure you haven’t bitten off more than you can chew once you catch her interest!

New Locations!

Security Office
The central hub of security within the tower. Enjoy your time with Petra, or go to work observing the cameras and ‘encouraging’ a little more action wherever you can.

Elysium
A beautiful park with a great oak growing through the middle, no one seems to realize it appeared far too quickly to be natural. Pursue the good graces of your friendly neighborhood Dryad, or spend a little time bringing customers a little 'closer' to nature.

Inferno
The nightclub to end all nightclubs, Inferno has it all. A dance floor, private booths, and a few more ‘interesting’ furnishings in the back rooms, for those who like leather, latex, and the crack of a riding crop. Assist your Vampire in hunting, or sling a few drinks from the bar that are sure to get the place hopping.

Bug/Feature Fix!

Character Customization
We fixed the issue with the character customization mirror requiring extra jаvascript and some convoluted settings to work offline. The new system is clean, simple, and doesn't require any special steps to run.

v1.2
Story Updates

Lazren’s Return!
-The story will now advance into chapter 2, with Lazren returning when the countdown timer reaches 0. Players with existing saves who have been stuck one ‘1 day to Lazren’s Return’ should now see the countdown finish after they sleep.
-5 possible ‘bad ends’ for those who do not have the required number of souls (Hint: You can have one converted human and still fail. Which of those do you think might have the ambition to take over if asked?)
-A scene with Lazren that may be submissive or dominant, but dominant PCs will want to ensure they have more than the requisite 3 souls.
-A new task and a new deadline to meet, though as before the countdown timer will not actually tick to 0 for several more updates as we fill out the content in chapter 2.

Mechanic Updates

Balance Adjustments
Starting Energy (Added 31 March 2020) - Starting energy for new games has been increased from 1000 to 1200. This will allow the first building upgrade to be purchased on day 1, as well as the first two small venues, making it significantly easier to exceed Lazren's expectations.
Building Adjustments
Buildings are now divided by the floor they can be built on instead of being listed by size. All previous shops are now First Floor venues. This update will allow for building the Second Floor, which will in turn allow building the Bank. The Casino is the first Special Venue, and is housed on its own floor of the tower.
Character Coloration Customization!
-During the scene with Lazren, players will be taught their first succubus power, which will allow them to alter the base character’s hair, eye, lipstick, and skin color. Gender remains locked, but is planned for a future update.

New Stuff:
Expanded NPC – Mason
-Mason told you he would talk about himself after you had passed your performance review, so I guess he’s on the hook for it now! Learn a little more about your reclusive researcher and maybe find out why he’s been so cagey. That seems like a problem that might be worth fixing, in the future…
New NPC – Mammon
-Mammon comes to act as a manager for some of your new buildings, thanks to her insight with certain members of Lazren’s family. She can be reached through the bank or casino. She does not currently have any steamy scenes associated with her, but will assist with operations in both buildings, as well as filling in some needed information
New Building – Bank
-The bank is a new building that allows the PC to make regular investments in new demonic start-ups. In addition to an energy reward, successfully completing an investment may get the player a grateful visit from the business owner, or perhaps some of the product…
New Building – Casino
-A requirement for Chapter 2, the Casino is an expensive monument to the sin of greed. Though there are currently no scenes available for the casino, players may adjust the odds of the gaming table to their liking. Play it safe with smaller wins and losses, or go all out for the maximum energy gain. As Mason would say, the choice is yours!
