Version 0.26.1 Bugfix update!
🕑 Added 2023-03-03 02:14:12 +0000 UTCHowdy folks, happy March!
As the title suggests, this month's update is dedicated to eradicating the foul bugs that have invaded the Haunted Brothel!
The bugs
It turns out there are a lot of them! The system updates that made their way into the Haunted Brothel have been playing havoc with older quests. To this end, I've been working through side quests chronologically to fix bugs that you've reported (thank you again!!!).
The major changes are:
- UI has been updated in the dialogue boxes and inventory menu. The inventory has also been reworked to act more predictably.
- Camera angles in most rooms have been changed so that you can use mouse/touch controls more naturally.
- Early game sidequests have been polished and had most of their bugs fixed. These quests are the ones involving Beagle, Katana, the Gargoyle, punishment room, and the secret bathroom stall.
- New music has been added to the potion storage area, and the cabaret club.
- Resized the player sprites and the size of characters during dialogue.
Check out the changelog in the latest version to see a more detailed breakdown of the bugfixes.
Mobile issues
A lot of you experienced the mobile version crashing. The issue is, after starting a new game and progressing until you meet Maxi, the game will cut to black and boot you out to your home screen/lock screen.
This issue is very difficult to solve. I think it's device-specific, since I don't have a crash on my test setup, but I DO get massive memory spikes, which may cause the game to crash on less powerful phones. If I'm right, this will take a lot of time to fix. In the meantime, my best advice is to be VERY patient when playing that scene! On my device, the screen will turn black and stay that way for almost a minute before continuing normally.
I'll see you again soon with an update on March development! In the meantime, feel free to flick me a message if you notice any bugs, or if you have any feedback on the game.
Have a wonderful month, and I hope you enjoy the latest update <3
As always, thank you for your support!

I've found a lot of bugs in the mobile version of the game :(
PastryGames
aaah that's interesting. I thought I'd fixed that event being repeatable, but maybe the fix didn't take. Thanks for letting me know!
Parfait
Oh yeah looks like it, I've gotten it ages ago. The event is repeatable for me so that might be it.

Hi Rowan! I've just tested the scene the rope demonstration and I haven't noticed anything that would lock you out during the scene (although there is a bug allowing you to just walk straight back in on them after the demonstration is complete). I might have misunderstood, if you mean to say you can't find any more scenes after that, then the answer is that that's where Lemon and Rufus' questline ends in this version.
PastryGames
Hi Parfait! Sorry for the late reply. I believe the scene you're missing is available in the foyer in-amongst the luggage. Is there a rattling suitcase that you can find there? If not you may be experiencing a bug!
Rowan
I am still stuck at the part where lemon is watching the demonstration.. Im not sure if anyone else is having this issue.. I have gone around the whole place and still cannot find anything else to do. Thanks
Parfait
hey I missed something in the misc category, above maxi's domming tips. I wonder what that is?
PastryGames
