It feels like May has only just begun, it's already come to an end. Haha, I feel like the month's are passing by faster with every update. Anyways, let's dive into a quick summary on what's new in this update. For those who have only recently joined, I recommend checking out my devlog posts if you are interested.

So, let's start of as usual by putting the new new update into some concrete numbers. There are 9 new real corruption sceens, 3 new lewd scenes. 2 new H-CGs, 1 new mental change, 1 new dungeon, 1 new quest, and a bunch of rank II skills and trainers to learn them. Of course there are also some other new minor things like some new item improvements, some minor quality of life improvements like visualizing the fetish/sensitivity passives, etc. But I would the boldy highlighted ones are the biggest addition of the update.

The majority of isekai content can be found in Nephlune. Check out the previously empty house in the Underground City to discover the High-Ranked Magistrate, who offers Aura a way to quickly gain Trust in exchange for doing a little show. Note that you need the bunny costume for him to be interested in Aura. Speaking of the bunny suit, if you have it, you should also check out the Underground Pub again! Customer Service 3 has been added to the game and allows you to further corrupt Aura into her role as Mary.

Besides that, if you have taken on Lamia in the previous updates, the pathway further down into the Underground Dungeon has been implemented. You can find new materials, boss fights, formulas, etc. down there. The dungeon composes various game mechanics you have encountered previously, so be sure to apply your acquired knowledge!

Above-ground, you can also find some new NPCs in Nephlune check out the Crying Seagull to start a new duel quest and challenge to local duelists. As a reward you can can unlock quite some useful skill trainers.  The adventurer guild can now also be entered, though isn't anything of note in there at the start. However, there is an adventurer that you can rescue and afterwards they will be able to teach you a useful new skill in there.

Mountainreach is still mostly work in progress, but you can now talk to the local Exorcist Elaine and find out a bit more about the loop and how you will be able to interact with the local dungeon. In theory, there is also already an access point to enter the dungeon, but there is no real content inside the dungeon yet. Overall, it's mostly setup that will be continued in the future.

Finally we have the new content on the real world corruption side. There is only a new mental change this time around as the majority of the content here focuses on characters reacting to Aura's changes. Mostly George and Rose. The latter doesn't take them too well. And Aura doesn't take it too well that Rose doesn't take it too well. If you can fap to the friendship between these two slowly crumbling apart, then you will probably have a field day with this update. To be honest, I got some slight depression at the end of it. 

And to make matters worse for Aura, she ends up making Rose vulnerable for a certain other character to approach her...

Aaand that concludes the new and noteworthy stuff from this update! I hope you will have fun playing it!

Next month I will continue working a bit on the Mountainreach side, but the main focus will be on the lewd content so that we can finally clear the first penetration scene milestone.
