Two more question mental changes down! Well, at least performing them at some of their consequences. Weaken Aura with new powerful passives such as -5% Attributes per day since the last time she had sex with Richard (up to -25%) or a passive that reduces her Attributes based on her current Submission.

In terms of mental changes we are very close to the end now. One more identity question, Superiority III, Tan, Richard Evening Relationship (Last stage of late night sex), and I think that's all that's left to shattering the Idealism Crystal. (There is also one more mental change object in the Control Room Chapter 3 related to lewd skills but that one isn't relevant in the context of reaching the Corruption Ending)

And following mental changes are of course also new corruption scenes! We have this week 5 new corruption scenes, among one is a lewd scene - Cheerleading Game 4! The first and last H-scene where Alicia makes a direct physical appearance to do her Luciela-style gaslighting in physical form!

Then, after some absence we have Rose returning to the plot in the event chain Fighting Over Richard - ready to claim back Richard from Aura using her enlarged boobz! As well as a new egoistical Rose First attitude so that she can finally be on the winning side.

The event chain also sets up new George suffering scenes which we will follow up on next week. Overall, this is the last major event chain of the game with everything else beside it or following it being close-out to existing event chains, or fairly short event chains.

There is one more new event chain which is Patricia Rebelling but I decided to put the main part of her rebellion into the ending event. This event and the following ones in the event chain are mostly build up for the ending event.

Besides the corruption events, we also have some progress in the Demon-cracy quest thanks to our assistant developer Trihan. Mostly implementing some of the recruitable characters.

Aaaand that's it for the week! Next week follows up on the Fighting Over Richard 2 event, those who play it will know what it will be about. The schedule is a bit packed so I doubt I will manage to get everything done I was hoping for, but what doesn't get done, I plan to move to week 4 of this dev cycle.
