Emily’s dialogue during certain sex scenes differ based on whether her CP or LP is higher. You now get to choose which version she uses during replays.

This was previously randomly determined.

Fixes:

.Fixed wrong variable check for the intimate Emily bedroom scene in EP10, causing you fail the check if you were on the Emily LP path:

(stayed with her on the train ride in EP7 and made out with her in EP8 instead of playing with her exposed boobs.)

.Redid tons of scene transition in previous episodes for better flow

.Removed roll back blocking from alt cam scene from previous episodes subtituting hard pause instead

.Alt Cam now work slightly differently. You need to click the flashing button to escape an alt cam scene

.Fixed wrong alt cam scene return image in EP3

.Fixed wrong alt cam scene return image in EP9

.Fixed wrong image call at the start of EP10’s Luis path.

.Revised too fast timing on a few animations

.Rebalanced volume levels on some too loud SFX tracks

.Fixed script errors introcuded by updating to the latest version of Renpy

.Updated to Renpy 8.2.1

Rebalance:

.Reduced the points requirement for Emily to feed you in EP3 from >10LP to >9LP

This will allow you to pass this check even if you decided to go for the Ashley morning encounter in EP2

As long as you apologize to her during the kitchen fight and don’t ogle Emily’s breasts after dinner in EP1 and tell her she’s cute instead

.Reduced the points requirement for Emily to show you her boobs in EP8 from >21CP to >15CP

This will make it easier to pass this check if you’re on a non optimal CP route with Emily

NOTE: You can bypass this check completely by staying with Emily on the train (leaning on her at the end of EP6) on a high LP route
