Hello everyone!

Netorase Phone version 0.8 is now available for everyone!

This version is mostly a "technical update", focusing on improving functionalities, and ironing out Part 1, from Act 1 to Act 6. It also includes the tendency system in the story itself, making you decide during a discussion with Laura if you want, in your relationship with her, to be Dominant, Submissive, or neither.

On top of that, it includes a complete rewrite of the Messages systems, to definitely remove soft lock issues... at least I hope it does. 😅

Sadly, I wasn't able to improve everything I wanted to, so expect future updates to keep adding things to the "early game experience".

I hope that, despite the relatively low amount of new content, this update will please you. As always, I'd love to hear your feedback and opinions.

Have fun!

Disclaimer: version 0.8 still has soft-lock issues, despite all my work toward eliminating them. They mostly happen at the start of a chapter. In order to let you enjoy the game anyway, I've re-enabled Memories, which will let you start each chapter individually.

- Native Android Back button still does not work.
- Android version still uses a lot of battery.
