Merely a Menial 0.2.1 (31/10/2024)


Hello, world :)
My good friend and I had been brainstorming about which direction this game should go a lot these past months, so have a small update!

Warning: all previous saves will be broken, unplayable due to me overhauling how I do the code (very tiring).


◇ But to compensate, a quick start!
Quick start - skip intro


◇ New contents for the love candidates:

❥ 1 new Rival's heart event

❥ 1 new Lover's heart event

❥ 1 new Maddie's heart event

You may run into the cynic in town


◇ More jobs
● Cerca got a job for you: Cerca is now acting like a sugar daddy (as intended) but you need to endear yourself to him and make yourself useful!

● New NPC for this October: The Librarian! He likes people who're intelligent enough to have a conversation with him. He might trust your smart and allow you to help him with his personal research…


◇ Talk to the others! They might have something new to say regarding the ongoing event


◇ First ending to The Rebel Storyline is out!
● exclusive only to being Kuruth's toy

● get captured by them runaways ● get yourself broken and thrown away ● or just wait for, let's say, a month for someone to rescue you



◇ End note: This game is without flaws, of course. Honestly, I expect it to be pretty unplayable. If you encounter a bug or any kind of mistake, please report via in-game button or in the comment section, I don't mind. Always appreciate everyone's input!

Hi! Absolutely adore this setting and your writing.

Think I ran into a few bugs,

-The first night after being brought to the other land, the dream sequence has an error: 

That night you lay your head on the soft surface. It smells musky and dust fills your nose.
○ This is where the sleep ends, and the dream begins
The (elseif:) changer should be stored in a variable or attached to a hook.Macros like this should appear before a hook: (elseif: ...)[Some text]

- On the Cerca (VIP?) path, if you "Ask him about the tentacle" the choices that you are presented with all lead to an error:
You think for a while, thinking about what the tentacle did to you and feel…
I can't (go-to:) to the passage 'ConfrontHeart2_Cerca2' because it doesn't exist.
I can't (go-to:) to the passage 'ConfrontHeart2_Cerca2' because it doesn't exist.
I can't (go-to:) to the passage 'ConfrontHeart2_Cerca2' because it doesn't exist.

- When meeting up the the rebels, you're unable to press "continue" to move on to the next passage, clicking the "continue" button does nothing.
... "And not far from this point on we'll be The Rebels. And by we, I meant you're invited to join." The hand grips tight on you. Despite his signs of waning strength due to years of life, this hand and the dagger in another will not hesitate to plunge you in your guts if an answer you will give displease them.
○ Continue

- On the Cerca house servant path, after hearing Maddie doing something "weird" during the night, you're unable to sleep any night after. When you go to sleep, it looks like this, with no "sleep for the day option", hitting leave just takes you out of bed without sleeping:

You lie on the soft single bed, feeling the pillow calling you into a sleep.
