Totally fair. This was when I was even more of a novice in coding than I am now, so all “negative” actions were tied to one variable and one scene. I am working on creating a new scene that’s only related to the appetite stimulant being used, that should be updated in the next version.
The new version should hopefully fix this error. Previously there was one that was “infinite loop”
And speaking of new versions…
I am very happy to say that the new version of the game should be released on 2/11/25!
What’s new?
I always make grand plans and a bunch of stuff ends up on the cutting floor. From the scraps this time I should be able to put out a patch that’ll add a whole new activity on the weekends by March.
To be completely honest this is not groundbreaking or even better than what’s come before. This isn’t a complete rehash or remodel, bugs and typos will probably be there. But I am doing my level best to deliver a good story. I’m not a coder or an artist. Or even all that articulate.
However, if you like the characters, story, and/or the game, hopefully you’ll like this next piece.
Thank you all for hanging in there as I tootled along getting this update worked on. Lots and lots of life stuff that delayed, or stopped production for a while. Nothing terrible, but it took time away from development.
See you all here in February!
And as always, hope this finds you well!

i was thinking that the update will be released until november 2 then i realized that it’s in february due to in english the month go first then the day lol (sorry, english is not my mother language)
hoooh this is a pleasant surprise 
cant wait to see and play
You accidentally put 2024 instead of 2025
Thanks!
Not ready for the new year yet I guess 
Looking forward to it!
Good Afternoon (or whatever time it is whenever you are),
I have linked the 1.5.1 version to the top post free a few weeks earlier than normal.
The 1.6 version is finished and I am currently bug hunting (thankfully nothing so far). So the Feb 11th release date is borderline guaranteed unless some emergency happens that day.
The new stuff is as listed above and below:
What’s not yet in it is a more compelling Shelly, a new activity, better grammar, and less spelling errors.
The new activity I have planned is fully rendered, but the story piece not yet finalized or coded. I am hoping to release a 1.6.5 update over the summer featuring a better Shelly and the release of this “activity”.
Thank you!

Love the new public release!
Work convo about the email with Karen, you both end up in your office instead of hers (wrong background called) after the close up of D at her desk.
Skipping text still occasionally leaves navigation options up after they’re supposed to be taken down (which allows for actions that crash things, like baking a cake after running out of time in the day by navigating to the kitchen from the ‘lay down in bed’ one choice menu)
The “Visit Danielle” option from work skips during Phase 3 if selected before the flannel shirt cutscene. The choice probably shouldn’t be available? Or it should give a quick “Turns out she’s out of the office today running errands” message?
(duplicated in Phase 4)
Stage 3, just after she loses the belt, there’s multiple references to a piece of bundt cake as a cheesecake.
The following convo has D speak for the player -
Danielle “And of course I want them…”
Danielle ← (Should be “You”) “I ain’t stopping you”
Danielle “True!”
Phase 4, she sometimes answers the door, says hi, and then turns out not to be home (?) if the user selects “Chat” (but is home if the user suggests a date or comes bearing dessert).
@JakobY
Great feedback!
Some has been addressed in the new release. Others i was unaware of and will try to patch before the next release!
Thanks for playing!
It is normal that the game is crashing so much?, I can’t play it
What errors are you getting?
If its infinite loop, that should be fixed with this upcoming update!
I have missed Danielle! Can’t wait to jump back in!
Behold!
The long awaited, and probably still bug filled release of 1.6 on Patreon! The changelog is a post or two up so I won’t bore you with all those details again.
Suffice to say, some stuff changed, the next chapter is included, and a new antagonist introduced.
By and large the quality remains the same, there is just more now.
I’ll monitor here and patreon for any bug reports and try to get a patch out by Thursday!
Enjoy!

Exception: Possible infinite loop.Hi!
Someone else said they had this but that restarting the game fixed it, this bug has been inconsistent in its appearance. I havent been able to recreate it to pin it down.
Its a problem ive been unable to solve, so this bug bugs me . I updated my renpy engine to the most recent and o thought that had nipped this for 1.6.
Ill try and suss it out, thanks!
yeah, it ended up being an issue after a restart but not the restart after that, I can see a bug like that driving driving a person mad. Godspeed
Why does skipping keep freezing the game? Never had that issue with other Ren Py games. Looks like a fun game to play! It keeps freezing though.
If you skip after you press that you’re leaving work, or if you skip in the hallway at home it passes time which could potentially freeze your game if you leave the skip button on.
Just press the Control Key to skip dialog at the other portions instead of keeping the skip function on.
