The 0.4 playtest is finally here!

There’s so much in this update that I won’t spoil everything—I'll let you discover the new dialogues and mechanics for yourselves. But here’s a quick rundown of what’s in, what’s missing, and what I think so far.

🔧 What’s Unfinished

PN cards/status are implemented but can't be assigned to girls yet.
Yearbook exists but has no gameplay function for now.
Sponsor HQs use placeholder girls from their photos instead of actual employees.
Graduation System is accessible in a weird way (talk to a girl in the hall, exit dialogue, click the door behind them).
In final 0.4, graduations will likely happen with a ceremony monthly/each semester.
Futures are unfinished. Only Big Finish, Deep Dive and Fitness Fond have custom futures for now, so I'll advise playing with them if you make a new save.

✅ What’s Working Well

Pacing is much better—get girls, corrupt them, graduate them, and stack permanent bonuses to help pass new PTA rules helping you with the next ones. The gameplay loop finally feels complete.
Dialogue variety is great, and I’ve added extra actions to speed up corruption, along with a more generous balance for unlockable traits.

❌ What Needs Improvement

PTA rules feel a bit too hard to pass. The upside is they now unlock in a logical order, making progression smoother, but difficulty is wack and that might feel like artificial gatekeeping.
Graduation rewards and bonuses are a bit underwhelming. I’ll be looking at feedback to see how to improve or buff them. Also graduating girl is now almost mandatory to gain prestige and help you at PTA so players need to do it. (You can recall a graduated girl in the academy at any time so don't be shy about graduating them)
Also if you have ideas about new permanent bonuses, tell me!

This update brings huge improvements in gameplay, features, and spicy dialogues. It’s not the final 0.4 build, so I’m eager to hear your thoughts! Drop your feedback in the Discord or the comments!
