The game is about a a young guy who makes a deal to achieve his dreams of being a musician, but gets a lot more than he bargained for.  You'll manage your daily life as you struggle to make it as a musician in the big city. But be careful as various elements attempt to steer you off the path of your dreams

This game is still very early in development so there are a good bit of placeholder elements, bugs, typos, and incomplete features.  This is a rather ambitious project I'm undertaking so I ask that you be patient as develoment happens.

Hotfix for the alarm clock sleep bug.

***OLD SAVES WILL NOT WORK AND WILL LIKELY BREAK YOUR GAME***

This update mostly focuses a lot on cleaning up annoyances and making the world feel a tad more "alive."  I would have liked to expand the main story but I just haven't had time lately.

This release has some very incomplete features. Especially the random dating system and barista jobs.  Much is placeholder outside the coffee shop date.  These will be a lot more feleshed out in the weeks to come.

-Alarm Clock Function added along with the boatload of changes to support it.
-You can now nap in your bedroom. (novel concept...right?)
-New stores added to the mall. New stuff too.
-Initial release of NPC dating system added. This is somewhat unfinished.
- Gender transformation now based off of power rather than corruption.
-Adjustments and new events have been added to existing jobs to give more chances to use your influence power and further your transformation...if you chose to.
-Keeping your apartment clean got a whole lot easier.
-Pay for working should finally be more normalized so that you make money at a decent rate regardless of RNG elements.
-Early and unfinsihed phone system added. You'll find all the old settings and stuff inside. It's pretty rough right now but I'll get around to making it prettier later on. For now it's perfectly functional. The left menu bar will auto update itself.
-Cleaned up and made inventory window a lot better and prettier. You can hover over the boxes to find out what each item does. (Let me know if this isn't working in your browser, only tested on chromium.
-Thereapist is now open in Manhattan offering services that will allow players to lower corruption and increase happiness. And maybe increaase your power?
-If your lust starts getting too high, you may start masturbating in your apartment. And it's possible your roomates could catch you in the act.
-Improvements to apartment bathroom that should help reduce a lot of clicking.
-Framework for Barista job added.
-Some placeholder-ish random pickup dating system added with events. (Not finished)
-Lots of other undocumented stuff...lost track of some changes when I took a long needed break from game dev.

Not so much a walkthrough but some tips.

If you're having trouble keeping your happiness up, try relaxing in the park, exercising, visiting the Live House, or smoking. Also working a high stress job like the waitress one too often every day is a sure way to make Claire sad very quickly. (Alcohol will also increase happiness next version)

If you like to explore try to avoid doing it at night, and you should keep a can of pepper spray handy.  It is the big city after all.

If you find it tedious combing your hair and doing your makeup every morning, feel free to auto-apply it from the settings menu.

Leaving the Live House totally wasted can have the unfortunate side effect of attracting unwanted attention.

Hotfix for sleep bug where the alarm clock being enabled would sometimes cause the days not to move to the next.
