The focus of this release was improving the game's appearance both in images and in-motion, as I found the game to be tough to look at times. While nighttime is dark, that also means you can't see anything, which doesn't show well.

Both the apartment have undergone a second pass with respect to their lighting and post-processing. The apartment's lighting no longer creates weird shadows and odd player lighting, which also includes significant optimization making it no longer as performance intensive as before. The neighborhood has also undergone changes to brighten up the environment and make it feel like nighttime while not being hard to see.

Rika has also been improved with her butt being made slightly larger and now includes her anus with a more properly detailed and defined vagina, which will be getting some use in the future. Her nipples can also get erect as she gets turned on, even poking through her top if she's not wearing a bra underneath. Bras (including hand bras) will now also reduce the amount her breasts sway when moving. Rika now also blinks to give her character some more life.

Blindfolds have also been added to this release; when worn, they will significantly impair your vision, allowing you to see only a few meters from Rika. NPCs will also become invisible and on-screen detection indicators will disappear. Only their footsteps and voice can be heard when blindfolded.

The blindfold is available in the wardrobe in Story Mode and in select outfits in Scenario Mode. The purpose and usage of the blindfold will likely change throughout development, but for now it serves as an extra-hard mode.

This release focused largely on improving the visuals, but some major gameplay improvement have been in the works. The next release will feature some significant stealth improvements. Following the current release schedule of the third Friday of every month, the next release will drop on March 19th.

Changelog

• Add wearable blindfold. Being blindfolded reduces your vision to a few meters along with turning NPCs invisible and disabling the on-screen detection meter. The blindfold has been added to several outfits in Scenario Mode along to the wardrobe in Story Mode. Use of the blindfold will likely change in the future.
• Update Rika's model to give her genitals more detail. Her vagina is now more accurately modeled and now properly includes her anus. Her nipples will now also harden as she gets aroused, poking through her top if not wearing a bra.
• Change Rika's idle animation and add blinking animation to give her a bit more life.
• Improve neighborhood visuals with post-processing effects. This should make the environment look nicer and be easier to see.
• Change covering to be hold-press. Covering is now done by holding LMB/RMB on mouse or LB/RB on controller.
• Rework the lighting of the apartment resulting in it running a lot better now.
• Reduce jiggle physics when wearing a bra and/or covering her top.
• Adjust Rika's breasts to be less crazy while still being bouncy, especially when unsupported by a bra or her hands.
• Fix clipping issues with her hands and breasts when covering and running.
• Add NPC footsteps so that they can be heard from a distance.
• Fix the table fan in the apartment not spinning and added a sound effect to it. Now it's actually a fan!

• Remove light beams from sun and moon as they were too overpowering.
