It's finally here! Version 0.6.2 of Cruel Serenade: GutterTrash, which adds the first content pack for the game, is now live on Itch. If you've already purchased the game, this is a free upgrade! If you haven't purchased it yet, now is a great time.
PLEASE NOTE:
This is a FREE UPGRADE if you already own the game. If you have purchased the game, but get a prompt to buy when trying to download, DO NOT buy it again (unless you're feeling generous). Itch can be a little...special sometimes. If you can't download it normally from the main page, make sure you're logged in, then check your game library on Itch: you should be able to download it there without issue.
I won't post the changelog here to avoid spoilers, but it is included in the Readme.txt as always. For those who missed the earlier post, this new pack includes:
-The real "slut mode" fight and endings.
-The path through the host club (building with a rabbit on it).
-A mini-game.
-A few other bits here and there.
-And overall adds 4 scenes and 5 unique CG, nearly doubling the amount present on launch.
Saves can be carried over, as long as they're prior to, or at, the point Mezz wakes up in Mahir's HQ. All the new content is after this point. If you don't have such a save handy, one has been included in the "StarterSave" folder in the "www" folder of the game. Just copy those files over to your "save" folder (you'll have to save at least once to create it), and you should be good to go.
Thank you all for your continued support. Now dig in, and let me know what you think!
Edit: To clarify, the Host Club is in Entertainment District II, the left path. The rest of the new content can be encountered by getting to Khazeem in "Slut Mode," one way or the other. So if you start as far back as recommended, there will be a stretch of unchanged game before you get to the new stuff. There's a reason for starting that far back though; won't say more for now, don't want to spoil it.
