Wow- a ton of great feedback and suggestions here!
My apologies for being so behind in actually seeing it. I need to do a better job checking the itch forums. I can't promise everything will get changed based on every suggestion here but I will work to fix up those typos and use this as helpful feedback to reference. Thanks so much!
Checking back in, can I ask what version you're playing on? This particular bug should have been fixed with Beta 0.12.2. Old saves should auto update and fix themselves when you walk into your bedroom.
Let me know if you're already on this build and if this didn't work. I'll take another look and see what could be going on. Hope this helps!
I've read a few bug reports similar to this one so I'll be taking a look at Julie's storyline tomorrow to see if I can spot any issues. Sorry you're having trouble
I actually had meant to add that feature in this update and completely forgot (again). I'll get to work on that over the next couple days. Keep your eyes peeled for Beta 0.11.2 when it releases- I'll make a Patreon post about it.
For those who are not sure what to do with the orb, the graveyard is the next place to go. The cop nearby the graveyard's entrance has something of importance to say too
Save files CAN be transferred from older versions of House Chores to newer versions.
== PC/Windows ==
1. Open both the old version and new version of your House Chores folders.
2. In the OLD game folder, click on the www folder and then find the save folder.
3. Right click and copy the ENTIRE save folder.
4. In the NEW game folder, paste the save folder into the www folder (the same location that you found it in the old version's folder)
5. Open the new version of House Chores and you should see your save files properly transferred!
== Android ==
Installing the new version of the game while still keeping the old version installed should carry over your file while properly updating the application.

I hope this helps! Thank you for playing House Chores!
Breast sucking is certainly something that'll likely get added eventually. Lactation, not as much. It's just not something I really enjoy. Sorry about that!
Android Users- If you are having an issue where animated scenes show a black screen, make sure to enter your pause menu (two-finger tap the screen), select the quality option, and make sure you're in Low Quality mode!
The animations are pretty large images so you'll need a fairly modern and up-to-date Android device to place House Chores
There is also a new "on-screen" scene of Linda in the shower! It's short & sweet but is still a new moment =D
This update took longer than usual to release due to the required artwork outside of the NSFW content. The new background, the new clickable of Emily in her room & dining room, the new CG, etc! Now that all 3 women have their introductions finished, I do hope to start getting updates out a little faster. Thanks for understanding!
Try toggling "Low Quality Mode' on in the settings. On some devices, the animations are too large so a black screen shows up instead. LQ mode reduces the quality slightly but usually fixes the issue!
I've scrolled through a few various posts and noticing quite a few people mentioning a black screen during scenes. An issue with House Chores is that the animations are so large that on some devices, they don't load properly, especially on Android devices.
To remedy this, there's an option in the settings for a Low Quality mode. This reduces the animation size while slightly impacting the smoothness of each scene but this should work for those having issues. For the Android version, this is on by default.
Sexy Quest has taken over the time/space where I'd normally work on Town of Passion. I now rotate between Zombie's Retreat 2, Sexy Quest, and House Chores all roughly equally.
(Usual reminder, the rotational schedule helps a ton making sure each artist has enough time to draw characters & scenes)
At the time of writing this post, the game is in the Alpha stages so there's quite a lot of changes & improvements that I plan to add. Eventually I want to experiment with class changes, more stat manipulations and bosses with more unique gimmicks that require players to think a little bit about their team compositions rather than just simply spamming attack throughout the whole story.
Sexy Quest takes place BEFORE the events of Town of Passion but the two stories do have some important connections so you may see references and other details in future updates!
Lastly, the Prologue chapter (most of what the Alpha update is) should be getting improved upon as I move towards the first Beta release so if some of the cutscenes or pacing feel a little clunky, I do hope to remedy this. The Alpha was mostly a way to test out the game's core mechanics and combat while making sure the NSFW scene player works.
I hope you enjoy future updates of Sexy Quest. Thank you all for your support!
I plan to add laundry as a second chore to build some points with Linda in one of the next few updates! Hoping to give each girl two different activities to add some variety
A female playable character is not something I really expect or plan to do but, that could always change, especially in a short spin off. Lucy, should be getting a decent amount of attention in zr2 though as well!
I want to focus on the 3 girls first before possibly expanding. I've also considered working on a sequel game that uses RPG-styled maps to explore instead. I love the VN format for House Chores but the need for backgrounds definitely makes it a slower process. When that time comes I'll probably do some polls to see what people would prefer to see
It's still in the middle of being made! Got to make sure the artist has enough time to get those juicy scenes completed ;) Hoping to release in July if all things go smooth. Will post updates on Patreon to keep people up to date
