There was more stuff on the TODO list for this version but I thought it's been long enough with unexpected delays so I might as well get what's already here uploaded for you to check out, and the rest of the stuff can just make it into the next version.

I know I've been saying it for the last couple of versions now, but there's been a big project being worked on in the background that is very almost ready for you guys, and I think you're going to like it.

Two other big pieces of news - the first one is that while working on the secret big project, I discovered that my timer reset code was wrong. Long story short, the large cause of lag was being caused by an issue in the code, where after a Normal Start, the timer was fixed to 2000ms (2 seconds) and therefore every turn had up to 2 seconds of unnecessary lag. Oof. That's now been fixed!!!

The final piece of big news is that area57 has been working on a (Windows) launcher for the game, which means that just like most modern games you'll be able to run a single executable which downloads everything you need checks whether there's a new version, and so on. We're trialing it with beta testers this version but hopefully it'll soon be ready for public use.

Download Links:

First time downloading? On Windows? I'd recommend just downloading this: Danaume Version + Windows Git (359.5MB)

There are 4 different versions because there are 4 different publicly available character windows you can use. Previews of the different versions' Character Windows can be seen here

The versions with the 5th window, the Strateg window, are available from my Patreon posts.

Uncompressed gblorb files generously hosted by area57 (409MB to 442MB): Danaume Version, Keriax Version, Wonderfuller Version, Porn Version

MEGA Mirrors: Danaume Version, Keriax Version, Wonderfuller Version, Porn Version

Trap Quest was created with Inform. To play a work like this one, you need an interpreter program: many are available, Windows Git is strongly recommended for any machine that can run it, this includes Macs - you should use WINE. If you're having trouble consult this page.

Known Issues

Opening Git.exe and then selecting the file seems to cause a 'Can't open gamefile' error for some users. However, double-clicking on the Gblorb file itself in Windows Explorer and then opening it with Git.exe that way seems to work fine. I believe this weird issue is just due to the huge filesize of the game file.

However, double-clicking on the Gblorb file itself in Windows Explorer and then opening it with Git.exe that way seems to work fine. I believe this weird issue is just due to the huge filesize of the game file. I'm getting reports of spontaneous crashes in Gargoyle. Use it at your own risk. If you do, it's strongly recommended to use roguelike saving.

Changelist:

Aika: [Egg Laying] The eggs now automatically hatch after a while. The only ways to get rid of them before this happens are the inspiration machine chute, crafting, and dropping them down a toilet with 'drop [egg]'. Large eggs hatch into tentacle monsters. Medium eggs hatch into facehuggers which try to leap onto you and lay small eggs inside of you. Once they succeed, they fall off and die. If it gets your mouth, the eggs come right back up straight away and each egg only has a 20% chance of having been successfully 'incubated', i.e. actually hatcing in the future. If it gets your ass, it's the normal egg laying system. If it gets your vagina, it's a guaranteed tentacle pregnancy for anyone with inhuman pregnancy enabled, otherwise just a creampie. Small eggs hatch into tentacle monster larvae. They seek out puddles of semen, which allow them to turn into tentacle monsters. They are easily destroyed. [Patrons] Hatching time does not progress while the player is in the school region. If you leave eggs on the floor in the school region, then you'll be punished the next time you enter the school region with an unplugged asshole.

Aika: Custom NPCs Jim the Invoker and Misako now have art profiles by Icarus, and they look amazing!

Aika: Some art versions of some of the oldest tattoos by Conrico, and also a couple of brand new ones: 'lock it then rock it' crotch tattoo inspired by bondage and similar. Makes it always possible that the player will get put in chastity for masturbating. 'pull to choke' neck tattoo inspired by neckwear, increases delicateness.

Aika: The golem NPC can now spawn in the public version.

Aika: Players can now (attempt to) dominate the demoness in the public version.

Aika: There is another gender option at the start of the game that lets you start as a biologically male player who is always referred to with female pronouns, intended for transwomen that want to play with a penis but never be misgendered. It should avoid using words like 'sissy' to describe the player too. If you notice any remaining irregularities, please let me know.

Aika: There's a fourth kind of collectible token - the magic token. Cash these in at a crafting table for increased magic power. Cashing in at least 5 tokens at once will consume 2 of the tokens to teach you a random new spell.

Aika: Some tattoos that spawned much too reliably when certain conditions were met now only have a small chance of spawning each time the conditions are met.

Aika: If circumstances have caused the mansion ritual to stall, a new cultist will spawn every 100 rounds to join in with the ritual and speed it up again.

Aika: Reduced the amount that wearing any heels regardless of height makes it difficult to stand up from kneeling. It's still difficult to stand up in high heels.

Aika: Pom-poms for cheerleaders won't immediately re-appear after being decursed and vanishing.

Aika: Fixed a significant lag issue caused by the prologue (i.e. when you choose Normal Start) and by cursed time bombs, where the timer wasn't resetting properly and causing 2 extra seconds of lag between each turn. Whoops...

Aika: Fixed a bug where the maid punishment could try and move a plug from one hole to another, causing a glitch.

Aika: Fixed a bug where some skirts and top-level corsets didn't disappear when they should to allow for class outfits to spawn.

Aika: Fixed a bug where the serving tray would tell you that it was unlocked every single turn.

Aika: [Lactation] Fixed a bug where if you were milked by the gloryhole, every item you found from then on would be displaced at the chest by default.

Aika: Fixed a bug where you could sit on the throne at the same time as the Barbara cutscene was occurring.

Aika: Fixed a bug where the virginity retention quest wasn't progressing properly for headgear other than the flower hairclip.

Beta testers:

Aika: Emerald Teacher Hannah and Ruby Teacher Roger (the futanari disabled version of Rochelle) have been reimagined by Owlcan.

Aika: There was an issue with student promotions where as soon as the player ranked up, lots of new students would appear in all the available slots at the new higher rank. This meant that the code to slowly promote other existing students in the background was not really going anything because there was nearly always another student at the rank above them deemed too similar for it to be worth doing the background promotion. So now, new students will only appear each with a 50% chance. So there'll be more slots open for the older students who you've already gotten to know (and possibly upset) to get promoted into, so you're more likely to climb the ranks alongside some familiar faces. However it's worth noting that each student has a predetermined 'max rank' beyond which they can't get promoted. So most students you meet at sapphire and emerald ranks will inevitably fall behind (and eventually disappear) at some point or another. Students that are angry with you won't disappear until they've satisfied their desire to get revenge.

Aika: Another new higher ranked 'nervous' student joins the rank of students you might come across during the game.

Aika: Users playing on iOS with Frotz now have a way to access the patron only stuff with the unlock file. See the most recent unlock file download posts on my patreon for more information.

Aika: The swimming pool in the school is now full of cum instead of water.

Aika: Fixed a bug where sometimes students weren't getting flagged as eligible to join in a lesson when they should have been.

Aika: Fixed a bug where the hot tub wasn't correctly triggering its healing and potential sex scene effects.
