Is there a god/invinciblility mode that lets you streak around consequence free? Or a toggle? I guess I'll find out, but I hope there is.

Oh, I see, there's now no game over, which I personally like. So, if I may, I'm going to leave some suggestions.
You know ghosts in pac-man and how they kill you on contact? Right, so replace "Killed" with "busted" and there's your game over mechanic for the next alpha. Then, for the alpha after that, implement security camera style behavior for pedestrians, just, like, security cameras that can walk. When you get seen by them, they'll summon police. Simple.
Alpha after that? Make sure police only get called in if a pedestrian has their phone out for a certain amount of time. If you want to get extra advanced, maybe they're just pulling out their phone for a photo op. You can have separate indicators to show which ones are calling cops and which ones are photo ops. Or have two different types of pedestrians and then make the indicators optional, or hidden unless you can get close and see their phone.
Oh, and of course cops would be optional for custom scenario games. Plus, number of times seen and amount of time scene could act as score multipliers. With another stacked multiplier for masturbating.
I won't be heart broken if none of these are implemented, but this is just some good basic starting stuff you can do for the stealth VS. showmanship gameplay loop you seem to be setting up. I truly believe in what you're doing here and I do hope you don't end up demoralized and discouraged like last time.
