Added 11 new narrator voice lines – ranging from girl events, to adventure events, to start-of-day lines.

(Background changes in the code regarding Achievements)
Note: I’ve been working hard to release the game on Steam for a month now, only to be denied during the review process. It sucks, but it is what it is.
Regardless, I am now going to focus all my efforts on advancing the main story. I already have 3 different endings in mind. But I’m getting ahead of myself; the underwater zone comes first

Developer Notes:

Hey there! You’re looking at an early version of my game, a novel-with-visuals that aims to focus on three things: to provide a genuine romantic experience, dripping erotic scenes, and fun / original gameplay.

Currently the game is still barebones content-wise but there are many features already in place. There’s a fully working combat system, out-of-combat stats used during events, an inventory screen that ties into the day-cycle with the fusing mechanic, the residents screen for future girls, and the very beginnings of the building system.

The game might be buggy as hell. I only started my journey as a programmer a few months prior, so I apologize in advance for the myriad of technical issues that are surely on the horizon.
