This update includes one of the Ghost City routes. Initially, I planned to release all the routes connected to the same location at once, but I quickly gave up on this idea, since it takes a lot of time to create all the needed assets even for a short-ish story.

All the future updates will also focus on one, max two routes in a similar manner (and for SFW folks, please be patient, I'll have something for you next time).

But back to the current update—this time you'll get to visit Gambler's Den. Not keeping any intrigue, this is one of the explicit routes, featuring a more "classic" hualian dynamic (top Hua Cheng/bottom Xie Lian). I'll be honest, I'm even less confident about writing this specific dynamic than any other, but I still hope you'll find at least some part of it enjoyable.

Changelog:

• Added Gambler's Den route (complete with art and sound).
• Added short previews for some of the other routes (text only+sprites if available).
• Added royalty-free music for main menu, taicang and stay in bed routes (see more info in credits).
• Disabled sounds when skipping.
• Added button for hiding quick menu on mobile.
• Small adjustments of pauses and transitions.
• Fixed broken links in credits.

Coming next:

Paradise Manor + extra route.

Known issues:

• Tapping anywhere alongside the right side of the screen beyond the borders of the"hide quick menu" button still triggers that button.
• If you choose to return to the choice menu at the end of the preview, ambient sounds and music will disappear.
• Some lines fall out of the dialogue box when font is set to max size.

UPDATE:
